18. "I want a hamburger... no, a cheeseburger. I want a hot dog. I want a milkshake..."
You'll get nothing, and you'll like it.
Classic! That's Caddyshack, of course.
You got it... I love that Spaulding!

#5, besides the afore mentioned clues, there are 4 primary characters, 1 female lead, 2 female supporting, and 1 male supporting. The movie was released in 1989 and all 4 actors have won Academy Awards for other works.(one best actress and the other 3 for best supporting)
New item ;
" Salt, pepper, granulted garlic....mayonnaise,...of course,"
" Of course,now for the important question,'Do you have a position on pickles?' "
"Oh it's more of a deeply held belief actually"
"Oh really, a pickle conviction , um.... go ahead"
"When it comes to tuna fish, I am emphatically anti-pickle"

Runaway Bride?
...there's a trivia bonus for behind the scenes of the film ("How'd they do that?") involving JelloI think I finally got one...
The Ten Commandments. They used Jello to part the red sea.
So here's another...
"And two fried eggs, two poached eggs, two scrambled eggs, and two medium-boiled eggs."
"And two hard-boiled eggs."

How about a foreign movie with almost lethal gazpacho?

#10 is Clueless
This is an updated recap of what is still in play:1. a ritz cracker and chopped liver
2. Egg yolk, a turkey drumstick, and birthday cake? Further clues to this movie: A cook making horrible pancakes and fried eggs while the dancing dishwasher flings plates at him; and eating popcorn while watching the movie Dumbo.
3. a spaghetti-proof bib, two pork chops and a few slaps round the chops........
4. At the beginning of the film: milk & crackers.
Towards the end of the film: "No milk & crackers."
(Inbetween the two there was gelato, champagne & cold coffee)
5. how about a disgusting bony,lethal chinese meal??
6. A large ham CLUE: about the size of a little girl
7. A pint of chocolate ice cream, eaten directly from the container, and a bowl of Wheaties with milk. Neither got finished.
8. Bacon, lettuce (only the soft parts), and tomato with mayonnaise on pumpernickel toast (with the crusts cut off).
9. what's the name of the movie that featured, among a variety of food items, bread and butter.
10. A roll of Pillsbury cookie dough in the oven.
11. A ruined dinner, and chocolate chocolate chip ice cream to apologize.
12. Tuna noodle casserole for Sunday dinner, and hot chocolate and lemon drops before bed. (Movie also contains catfish,and popcorn. )
13. Pie and sausages, POPOVERS and coffee... and everything
14. "You know in Cambodia, you could get a lobster dinner for a dollar".

Here's what i've got...
1. It takes two
2. Super Troopers
3. When Harry met Sally
4. Something about Mary
5. Lady and the Tramp?
6. Repo Man
7. Soylent Green?
8. NOt a CLUE
9. Secret of my success?
A lot has gone on since this morning! Great work, everyone!Ludja: I am going to disqualify myself on yours because I get the feeling we've both referred to the movie mit those disgusting Aalen, nein?
And though I didn't see the movie, the cleaning out of the fridge blind-folded seems to be a reference to 9 1/2 Weeks or days or hours....
Here's what remains, though I'd guess folk in The Netherlands would scratch their heads and shrug at number 2 wondering how it could possibly be memorable.
As for 3, the movie was clearly recalled, but never named. It's something I don't know, so please clue in the clueless.
1. Peanut butter and ground beef
2. French fries and gravy
3. "Huge coconut cake with the tiers, and ...very rich chocolate sauce on the side."
4. "Beans and franks! Beans and franks!"
5. One long piece of spaghetti
6. "Plate O' Shrimp"
7. Cans of generic "Food"
8. Eels, eel pie, eels, eels, eels.....
And while I think this is kind of obvious, there are some above whose posters thought everyone would guess promptly, yet they're still on the list! So.....
9. Forbidden Fruit: a big, juicy grape

Barcelona is a great city with a ton of culinary options. I love Abac. The chef does amazing things with suckling pig and goat. Raco d'en Freixa is great. The chef is young and rising and the restaurant garners some attention. I am, though, a huge fan of Charles Gaig. It is an amazing mix classic catalan with the new techniques. Wandering around eating in Barcelona is one of my favorite things to do. Cal Pep is fun and young, but I prefer Taller de Tapas. It is my favorite Tapas place in the city.
When I was there in September, I stumbled across a fabulous little gem called Semprillana (not sure of the spelling). The chef/owner was a woman and the food was fabulous!
Off to BCN in April and trying to do my research.Firstly it is clear that Hisop and Cinc Sentits get positive reviews from the slew of non-michelin starred establishments.
Abac and Raco d'en Freixa (RF) are both rising stars in this years Michelin.
I have already made a request to Sant Pau for Sunday lunch.
So with 2 possible dinners (allowing for no dinner on Sunday night), the question is which of these I go for?
Abac has a thread which gives me a positive feel.
A search for "Freixa" returns no results so what is it with RF - any views?
Sauc also seems to get good reviews.
Here's my proposal: Hisop and Abac? Is this the best way to go if I choose one michelin and one non-michelin place?

I think that Press is good and has a cozy atmosphere as well as good wine list. Bistro Jeanty is excellent but don't waste time or money at Go Fish. Of course one of my favorite places to go is Taylor's Refresher. The tuna burger is great and the garlic fries and the beer list rocks!!
Dining at Martini house one night. Any favorites under $100? -
It's true that most recipes for Jezebel Sauce call for apple jelly, pineapple preserve, dried mustard and horseradish. It is very yummy and that lovely sweet, spicy mix that goes great with a variety of cheeses or smoked meats. It is this sticky link to my childhood and for some reason I just have to know where it originated. I'm going to check out that Biloxi Herald article right now.
But, if y'all find anything or hear anything - Please let me know.

I guess I don't really know much about much when it comes down to it. I've grown up and continue to live in the Mississippi Delta. I always loved church potlucks and dinners on the ground here and one reason was because of Jezebel sauce. All the little church ladies would bring it out to accompany smoked meats or adorn soft cream cheese and a Triscuit. It always struck me as odd that a sauce named after a biblical harlot who was thrown out of a window and consequently eaten by dogs would be so popular at church functions. But it was...
My question? Does anyone out there know the history of Jezebel sauce and it there is a connection between it and Henry Baines sauce?
Thanks y'all!

I was in San Sebastian for 3 days as part of a CIA tour that included Barcelona. We had an unbelievable luch at the Guggenheim in Bilboa and then bussed it to San Sebastian. We had pintxos the first night and ended the tapas crawl at La Cuchara de San Telmo whose owners used to work at El Bulli. We had an amazing rabbit dish and a caramelized foie gras at like $3 a plate. The next day we lunched at one of the gastronomic societies on a beautiful pisto and a lot of hard sour cider while the president sang "old Man River" to me. That night dinner was at Mugaritz where we toured the garden with Aduriz. He had us a taste a bud used in the amazon to deaden the mouth (toothaches) and used it with an herb salad where each herb was placed individually on the plate with tweezers and we were directed in which direction we should eat the salad to get the perfect taste. Then we deadened our mouth with the bud before the next course. We crossed over the border to France the next day to visit Espelette and sample their famous peppers before returning to San Sebatian for dinner at Arzak. Arzak was the most amazing meal I have ever eaten. I have never seen anything quite like the pantry at Arzak. Elena and her father were charming and the food! I will put the menus on another post if you're interested.

I don't have a picture for proof but my worst looking, best-loved cookbook would have to be Bayou Cuisine. I think the Indianola, Mississippi Episcopal Church put it out in the 70's. It talks about the Spanish and French influence on the Mississippi Delta and has great recipes. My pages are stuck together on the "Oysters Johnny Reb." A recipe that's been at my family's holiday table since I can remember.
