Gifted Gourmet

and I forgot about the mint tea served at every meal ... and we have mentioned tagines and couscous and lamb already ... and sheep eyeballs given to the guest of honor ... Bourdain did a show on ACT on mechoui ...

But that is perfectly permissable since Shabbat supercedes everything .. no? We need to hear from someone with some knowledge here ... hmm? maybe a rabbi??

and then drives your kids home, breaks up their squabbling, and prepares dinner from the food in the cart .. that would be beyond smart!!

eGGoogle it yet??

I eat something similar, andiesenji .. pretzels with sour cream and cottage cheese mixed ... crunchy yet creamy! mmmm..

Perhaps because when I order duck breast, sliced, I ought not to expect a few shreds?? That really got to me and my dining companion fared even less well .. sitting at the bar would have changed nothing .. There are so many great places to eat in and around Santa Cruz that I see no reason to return to Soif .. SC is still a great place to visit and dine well!

When I was at Soif Winebar last January, I left starving and spent $100+ for two people ... nice selection of wines but way overpriced on the miniature food items .. also it was a bit snobby to boot ... Oswald's is definitely a "keeper" however ...

Penfold's: the wine of legend Is it really so good that one can say of it "100 Wines to Try Before You Die"??

have made this and enjoyed it other recipes I plan to try a coffee-based marinade The acidic item acts to tenderize, I would think ...

What a wise woman she was!! Lots of useless activity with food involved .. hmmm.. ingenious!

In Atlanta, there is a brand new Olive Garden almost directly across the street from Romano's Macaroni Grill ... and I thought to myself, "Why bother?" There is such a world of difference between the two in all respects ...

and, on occasion, even food ... the pasta is usually gummy and the meat sauces are even more atrocious ... Italian, but only if you enjoy tasting the sides of Venice's Grand Canal ... great article! confirms my worst suspicions .. aren't the OG's owned by a corporation like Pepsi or something??

article from SF Gate on frozen fruit bars I love these things and particularly when I don't want the creaminess of an ice cream novelty ... sorbet on a stick? whatta concept! the chart on the top choices

From an article in Newsday: Do you find yourself trying new types of peppers like this one, or are you such a chile head that this has been part of your repertoire for some time now?

Isn't that similar to honey-baked hams? sweet yet salty ....

might this be what you are referring to?

Guardian UK article on new honey So, the world has more problems that we have yet to fret over and now it is about the honeys .. but, never you mind, this is about a simple, very sweet, sticky issue: what is your favorite type of honey? and what do you use it for? or use it as an ingredient for making? Personally enjoy clover and orange blossom honeys ... and you??

I just found this on an article about Hershey's Kisses on junkfoodnews.com These were selected as the best, most passionate, screen kisses of all time: While this thread is about sexy film scenes involving food, this might just work if Hershey's sponsors it ... surely there was something to eat involved in perhaps one, or more, of these kisses ... rebuttal or confirmation?

The book and a lovely Italian-Jewish recipe

I absolutely concur with Tana on these places! They are all top notch and have made a name for themselves locally ...

Sakana-ya Restaurant This is their "noodle menu" which has several possible dumpling dishes, Greg ... it is just outside the Perimeter on Peachtree Industrial Blvd. and has lots of parking ... great dishes and atmosphere .. patronized heavily by Japanese businessmen at lunch ... read their menu and enjoy the music!

bakery Australian Bakery Cafe: 463 Flat Shoals Ave SE Atlanta, GA 30316 Savoury as well as sweet .. look interesting, gwilson?

Israeli foods .... longish thread but full of great dishes! Israeli foods but not in a thread here ...

What a great website! Thanks for this!! I will contact her about what eGullet has, if she is not already aware of us ...

Nullo, I can call you by that shortened name I hope ... I have tried many of the dishes listed .. lived in Morocco and have been to the Orient as well as Europe ... the rest are simply what I found because I am a research fanatic and was stimulated to do so with the impetus created by the introduction of this topic ... at present, I am doing more and more travel and hope to sample even more from the list ... Mr. Gifted had pho and nuoc mam in Vietnam but passed on the dog dishes ... but he loved the dishes in Bangkok!
