I dont eat nearly enough streetfood in NY and most that I have had was while....umm er drunk. But the best cupcake I ever had was at Citarella up by the Beacon Theatre ... it was massive, dense, amazing icing, it was even better than the concert which was great trans-siberian orchestra back downtown there is the donut plant 379 Grand which is near the Bialy place I think .....isnt there a whole thread...... http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showto...hl=hallo+berlin on Carts like Hallo Berlin etc i still cant do links tracey

Can I first say by the time an Oregon spring cherry gets to NJ it tastes the same as one from Chile....I keep trying but cherries do nothing for me. But if I see one more oregon apple or even better "produce of USA" apple 25 miles from a NYS orchard I will scream in the store...no one will notice I am sure. Now our local supermarket has some damn good produce, stuff I cant figure out why they have even.... This is a seriously Anglo-American mountain folk town and they so much asian and south american produce.... All that said except for apples I buy on price if green grapes or asparagus are .99 cents a pound in January they can come home with me...the grapes dont actually make it home I eat them in the car. If we were to eat locally in winter what would that mean....old apples, storage onions, ummm pumpkin, potatoes, ok butternut squash that "keeps" right.... winter in most states/provinces is the PITS cherry pits not withstanding T

since I was suffering from camera envy I didnt take too many shots thank you all it was lots of fun with nitrites ta boot or is that nitrates....i think we are having icecream for dinner....well Karl already is tracey (edit: image brighten)

Just returned from our local chinese buffet.....they serve king crab legs with proper drawn butter need i say more ...... they also have really good veggies ... i pick all the broccoli out of the chicken dishes and they have fresh green beans in garlic sauce and fried zucchini and pea pods and hmm i certainly dont make any of them as good as they do if it looks funky dont try it... it probably is T

At the Viking House Restaurant in Hafnafjordur Iceland we were served a traditional Icelandic meal starting with hors' du ouvres.... dried fish, buttered flatbread, smoked salmon, pickled herring, putrid shark,(national holiday dish) and lambs testicals....waitress said " in america you call them Balls no?" all washed down with a double shot of Brennivan carraway schnaaps known as the black death. luckily the entree was roasted lamb with veggies and baked potato before nearly blacking out I remember the words.. no honey ...no ...dont throw up on the table. Icelandic lamb hot dogs are really good though and shrimp and salmon and roasted lamb tracey

Hi all taking a ride from NJ to Knoxville in June looking for your best advice for real local style food. We wont be doing the fine dining thing, just want the best you can get wearing jeans and having "helmet hair". Dont know where we are staying yet but the event we are attending is at Chillhowie Park with touring rides toward Deals Gap etc.... Maybe some BBQ some great homestyle B'fasts etc links to local maps and hotel suggestions always welcome too tracey garden state motorcycle association

I hate cold butter cold bread crappy/no tea selections...just get another sugar packet holder and jam some decent teas in there puleeeze grey meat....inside or out bones in my fish "browned" scrambled eggs i carry a bottle of good hot sauce to certain chile-based chain restaurants t

many years ago I went to party I shouldnt have been at .......at Dunkerhook in Fairlawn/Paramus....they definately allowed beer back then T

I have hiked over to Frico Bar 402 W43rd during a show at the Javits ....its one of Joe Bastianich's places T unfortunately it was during the fancy food show eating a full lunch was a baaaaad idea

Monday was still working on the booty from the Asian market... grabbed some beef short ribs and pork butt on the way home and trimmed and sliced them thin whipped up a variation of Bulgogi marinade and sauteed some bok choi and maitaki mushrooms, heated up some udon noodle soup to serve with the seared meat, pickled daikon, and kimchee.....my husband asked where the lettuce was "eat your ice cream" T

The rout 23 BF had the sign about the Pico also but said you could ask for some at the counter.... definately better than BK or anything like that my mom and sat right up against the glass next to the grill last time...and the grill-man asked how everything was as we were leaving.... tracey ooops the grill did not ask how everything was

Most of my parties revolve around pork butt summer its properly done outside winter it goes in the crockpot with a bottle of Franks hot sauce and brown sugar....shred back in the crock with some of the "juice" and bbq sauce. I just love how my family wonders how I get all of Easter dinner on the table hot at one time.... same every year Baked ham, Lasagna, grilled asparagus zucchini eggplant and sweet onions, Grilled spicy leg of lamb....ya should have seen the looks when I said it was time to start the lamb as I pulled out the lasagna the first year.....25 min on the grill people.... the lasagna has to rest....grill and plate veggies on saturday and just reheat in the nuker on the serving plate....lasagna out biscuits in... wish my grandma still cooked she knew how to do all this stuff T

made a quick trip to Matsuwa Market in NJ today got way too many goodies made my first sushi roll tonight and a big pan of new zealand mussels with garlic and hot peppers need a nice piece of pork to go with the maitaki, baby bock choi and pickled veggies for tomorrow T

I may or may not have just posted a loverly picture of shrimp scampi pizza from dinner a few weeks ago.....fingers crossed tracey

ooops better try again T

I see this thread has digressed in the past few days but....just a moment ago saw a commercial for ENOVA oil..... not sure what it does yet the website is ENOVAOIL.COM T

hmmm I do tend to eat dinner on the couch whenever I can but I guess ya cant tuck a dish towel into your neckline here.... But...my husbands company was hired to try and tie up the loose ends of the heating system 2 weeks ago he said it looked ....interesting T

Escarole....thats a lettuce ....right?

well that sounded like a party I should have been at.....but for my backyard wedding....my co-workers made for me chile rubbed pork loin sliced thin room temp fillet of beef sliced thin room temp grilled chicken" " orzo salad with scallion raisins and pine nuts tossed salad sliced grilled veggies assorted breads we of course had shrimp cocktail cheese boards with salami etc and a couple of bruschettas with toasts....white bean with pesto traditional tomato and onion confit Fruit platter butter cookies and cake BUT if I was doing it myself smoked turkey, ham, pasta( hot or cold), quiche, asst breads, sauces( chutney, mustard) tossed and fruit salads Tracey congratulations

The best info I could find is that there is 130 grams of Bread flour to 1 cup and 220 grams of Sugar to one cup... pie/crumble topping sound like a good use or add more flour to make a biscuit-like sweet short cake ....like for strawberry shortcake .....can split and top with any berries or peaches or fruit sauce and cream tracey

Shoprite's medium salsa for me. I bought it for work to try out a burrito on the menu and it tastes just like old el paso to me T

I bought nice stuff to make breakfast today but we ended up starting out with the plate of cake and brownies sent home from a party last night and half of an O H Bakery Kringle mail ordered from Wisconsin ....i got 4 of them, today we had apple .....the pecan is best though Tracey

I usually do my shopping at the West Milford Shoprite which has an amazing produce dept, OK meat, never get deli (I do that for a living) but if you want seafood you have to ring a bell and someone comes over from deli???????? The fish looks fine but I usually just grab a bag of frozen shrimp and be done with it ( raw shrimp NEVER EVER buy frozen cooked shrimp for the love of whoever) If I want real seafood I usually stop at their Ramsey store on the way home....lame produce but great seafood and the bakery is to die for never been even remotely dissapointed in their pastries, donuts etc even used them for catering...better than our usual cake bakery. I cant figure out why the produce dept up here is so good the population seems fairly homogenous and yet they stock some fairly wild carribean and asian produce and there is usually someone there that knows what to do with it. I even managed a lively conversation with the produce guy and some other customers over exactly what is a sweet potato. both are Inserra stores I think.....nice family from Saddle River ...donated an ambulance to the town last year T
