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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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).
