  1. I love sardines! So do other folks... Brunswick sardines in soybean oil, what can I do with these? Canned sardines - looking for ideas
  2. Hello Craig Reeves! That is from Babette's Feast. A very lovely film. Very.
  3. "I hope it's morticians, 'cause I may kill somebody." Funny movie.
  4. Well, it was enough of a movie for me! You got it. I was desperate to come up with something as obscure as the OP's Deer Hunter. There have been so many great ones since that have gone well beyond!! But here is the rest: the "Guber Burger" is actually served at the Wheel-Inn Drive-In in Sedalia MO. Unfortunately for tastebuds everywhere, the Wheel Inn is scheduled to close on Labor Day for a new highway project. It has been there since the late 40s and the owners are going to retire, I guess. ← I hate to hear about these old places drifting away. Something sad and inevitable about it. But I love the idea of putting peanut butter in a burger. Like a little patty of America snug in a bun. I've got one. Liver pate, ice cream and corn on the cob.
  5. YES Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! Brilliant! Here's another......! ".....tonic water & clam juice, but THEY AIN'T COLD!!!!!!!" Congratulations petite de chou! Lost In America! A classic! What about from the same movie "Florida! I got Florida!!" A hui hou! ← The Out of Towners. One of the few movies with Ricardo Montalban's( ) brother.
  6. 1. Peanut butter and ground beef. Hamburger America? It's a documentary not a movie per se, so I'm not sure if my guess is even valid.
  7. 2. ".......and a microwave that browns!.......melted cheese, ummmmm I don't think I EVER tasted melted cheese before." Lost in America?
  8. 3. egg yolk, a turkey drumstick, and birthday cake Tampopo?
  9. Smoosh the scraps together into patties, freeze, then use them for ice-cream sandwiches.
  10. Monkfish is a *great* idea. Meaty, white and open to other flavors. Not sure about the urchin. Sea urchin has a flavor and texture that might not be welcome (at all) to those with a conservative palate. I would keep it simple- buttery and winey. Congrats!
  11. Crust. Therein lies the brush of butter, sprinkle of salt and crumble of herb.
  12. The beets get my vote, especially with a bit of shallot, chives, fresh dill and lemon oil.
  13. Dominos and Sunshine Pizza are the *only* delivery options in my smallish town. -sigh-
  14. What kind of dish are you thinking of? Knowing the other components might make a recommendation easier.
  15. I really like this recipe. I always use the pineapple juice in the sauce instead of water. Tasty!
  16. I made my third batch of chicken noodle soup in three weeks. My husband was nursed back to health with the first two (the second batch had rice noodles) and craved even more!
  17. Pasta and pesto, *heavy, heavy* on the pesto.
  18. Since they're pretty bitter perhaps you could make a few jars of sloe berry/apple jelly to serve with pork, lamb, game, pates or terrines. Add the berries to game stews and venison or pork roasts. They pair well with sweet, earthy, roasted vegetables such as winter squash, beets, parsnips, mushrooms and sweet potatoes. And like most berries, they freeze and dry well.
  19. Loco Moco! I marinate the ground meat (usually ground turkey breast- talk about lean and flavorless) in a bit of teriyaki sauce because smothering it in brown gravy with an egg or two fried in butter topped with green onions and toasted sesame seeds *might* not add enough flavor.
  20. Dracula is supposed to have been modeled after a looney named Vlad the Impaler- he took particular delight in impaling his victims. Go figure. Minibar features a cube of fois gras terrine impaled on a wooden skewer and swathed in cotton candy (scroll to post #225).
  21. Something that hasn't been mentioned is how *pretty* pink/red grapefruit rinds and segments are. We're definitely a visual species.
  22. I second this recommendation. I have this book and especially love the historical notes included on each page.
  23. Can't make weiner schnitzel without a juicy wedge (or two or three!) of lemon.
