The barbeque was mouth watering, but we were never given the exact ingredients.

Yeah, the same brioche - I'm just not going to get up early to make a yeast bread that will take an hour to rise before cooking.

I think one of Sue Grafton's books has Kinsey Millhone entering someone's house where a guy is frying bologna (the sausage, not the city). Millhone begins salivating and says something like, "I'll give you $200 for one of those sandwiches."<br /><br />You hit my pet peeves. Scrapple. Oh Lord, why? What hath thou wrought? It's like a dozen crazed Brownie Scouts cooked separate campfire breakfasts of sausage, cornmeal mush, cheap pancake syrup, gravy, and grease… and then dumped them all together in a skillet and refried it. Ugh.<br /><br />I also dislike cooked green peppers, but I like sweet bells and roasted Italian peppers (traditionally served with grilled sausage). And I love pimientos. I think I'll invent pimientos stuffed with green olives.<br /><br />I love Southern buttermilk biscuits that you have to anchor either with sausages or a giant dollop of freshly made butter, but cornbread has its moments, typically served alongside vats of great northern beans simmered with chunks of ham the size of a woman's fist. But for some unglodly reason, heretics have taken to adding sugar to cornbread! What infidels do that!<br /><br />Brioche… are we talking the same thing? French brioche is a cupcake cross between a popover and a muffin that, like those two breads, somewhat overflows the cup. (It's also a nickname for a man's stomach that similarly overlaps his belt. Said man probably ate too many brioches.)<br /><br />I think you can still get liver (and chopped liver) in kosher groceries. My youngest brother eats gizzards and organ meats– we trained him when he was too young to know better. (heh heh) I think it was Leopold Bloom in his wanderings had a plate of kidneys… and mentions the delicate flavour of urine. Ugh. I knew there was a reason to avoid kidney pie.<br /><br />Feel free to consume as many starlings as possible. They're invasive pests that aren't songbirds and have driven out purple martins.<br /><br />You didn't mention squab, one of America's favorite foods for 200 or more years that we at to extinction– passenger pigeons.<br />Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-31237325649324822602021-10-21T15:33:41.038-04:002021-10-21T15:33:41.038-04:00Thanks as always.

Bond novels between Bond and Leiter were Flemming teaching us how to be posh with our food and drink, and how to be 'gourmet' before we just called ourselves 'foodies'. The best is a splash of Cuban blanco rum in your black coffee with a side of bacon.

We found US government recipe books from WW2, telling mpeople how to make cookies with sorghum to save their sgar ration. Not that easy to find sorghum these days.Robert Loprestihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08844889305615182897noreply@blogger.com
