Hey, has anyone been to Do & Co Albertina? I have a reservation there for December 27th, and I'm wondering what the level of formality is? I see a lot of articles on the Do & Co on Stephansplatz, but not many on Albertina, so I have no idea. Thank you!

Thanks a lot!

Could someone help me? I don't understand any German, but I tried making an online reservations to Coburg with the help of a phrasebook and babelfish. Does this mean that I have successfully made a reservation for July 10, 2007 at 7:00 PM ?

I like cocoa cookies with white chocolate. Tejon's oat recipe sounds really good though. I really want to try it!

I love all of the pictures! GTO, What is a British flapjack? It looks great. healthy too Cocoa cookies with white chocolate from Dorie Greenspan's book. They're amazing!

hm... tempura-fried unagi + avocado + mayonaisse + cucumber. so heavy! the red bell pepper thing is weird, especially because so many people hate peppers!

Sanrenso, I'm having the same problem! It's so weird, I've tried tons of shokupan recipes too, and they never work. I really like Nick Malgieri's challah recipe from A Baker's Tour. What challah recipes have worked best for you?

I love Kuitan! The croquette episode from season 1 just aired last week on TV Japan. I also watch Shokusai Roman where celebrities cook. In the US, it airs after the history drama on Sundays everyone! If anyone subscribes to TV Japan.

Hm. Savethedeli, your definition of Jewish cooking is the regional food of an area with a history of Jewish culture adapted to Kosher dietary restrictions. But the cooking styles of India, Eastern Europe and Western Europe are all so different, it's difficult to classify under one cuisine. And if the Jewish cooking of each relative stems from the distinct cuisine of each area as you say, then they really are all distinct styles of cooking. Not to mention that the Indian Jewish cooking doesn't receive much attention or recognition as "Jewish" cooking. I just think that it's very difficult to classify food by religion because religions can and do exist everywhere. ETA. Of course, I'm not arguing against anyone classifying any of these foods as Jewish. That's just my opinion concerning foods of any religion. As for popularizing "Jewish" (Ashkenazy I presume) I think it goes the same for any currently untrendy cuisine. Reasonable amounts of any type of food won't make anyone fat, so it's just the obvious answers of updating the seasonings and ingredients to fit today's tastes, like using and showcasing fresh produce.

Thanks. My idea is. Now I agree with your point that what savethedeli considers to be Jewish food is Kosher Eastern-European food. Other people also stated that there just happened to be a large number of Jews in that area who adopted the food. And Nathan, I'm completely unfamiliar with the exact rules of the many different branches of Buddhism. All I know is that many Japanese monks are vegetarian and during one holiday in August, one isn't supposed to eat meat. I wouldn't say that the that makes a whole section of Buddhist food though.

Nathan, that's interesting. I was unaware that Jewish identity and Judaism were different things. So by this definition, would a Korean person practicing Judaism not be Jewish? What is the difference in identity? Is it racial? -- I grew up in Japan so I'm completely new to all of this. I do know that Buddhism also has dietary restrictions though. If a Thai meal is prepared in a Kosher manner, is it Jewish?

What is Christian food? Buddhist food? Judaism is a religion which can exist in any region. I think that makes it impossible to really define the food of a religion.

Kanton tsuyu looks like Kansai tsuyu plus sugar! Your tempura looks perfect btw

I'm not that familiar with regional Japanese, only the food around Kansai where I live. But the tendon I eat always just has the dipping sauce. The picture looks different though. What is it?

My grandmother drinks yomogi puree every morning. It tastes terrible, but it's supposedly good for... something. the stomach maybe? I only eat yomogi in mochi or udon. The tempura idea sounds good though! And the one yomogi chiffon I tried didn't taste very good. It was a strange color too!

Thanks, DCP! I'd like to add that the palate problem is (usually) a matter of age and most people transition as they get older. I'd say that Japan has a very important food culture, but most students like mayonnaise more than Dijon mustard. The craze with sour foods is merely a fad for weight loss

I use my takoyaki pan for pancakes so I'm sure it works both ways. Although I have no idea about prices. And with all respect to food scientists, I don't know how they'd ever do a real frozen takoyaki

I'm vacationing in Europe for two weeks this summer, one week in Vienna (can't wait! although a bit annoyed with myself for missing Mozart's 250th!) and I've read a lot about coffeehouse culture. Which made me a bit nervous, are there any real codes of behavior? All of my guidebooks have Demel as the best coffeeshop! So interesting

I'm loving all of these foodblogs. So thank you, Yunnermeier, I'm completely unfamiliar with Malaysia so I look forward to a week of your blogging The market pictures are gorgeous! Is there a reason why the signs are in English?

They're great frozen

Hi! This is about butter, but I live in Bergen County (Demarest). I just read the book Real Food by Nina Planck and I’m looking for raw milk. I never knew about the different kinds of milk and now I’m just dying to try it. Does anyone know of a place that delivers? Or sells milk nearby?

Of course, many of them aren't. And it's also true that many laws are specific. I however, still feel that the "general welfare" clause is vague. What are the limits to that? I think that the trans-fat ban is very different from the ban of drugs, because drugs are mind-imparing. People need to take the responsability of reading food-labels so that they know what it in the food that they are eating. They also must extend this responsability to ensure that their children are eating healthfully. This really isn't something that should be done by law.

ChryZ! Thank you so much for this recipe! I must try it! I started liking Korean food about 3 months ago (I never had really tried Korean food before) because I live in an area with so many Koreans! They're so many places with ready-made Korean food... and I love these pancakes. I'm also really addicted to a very spicy miso soup with a lot of tofu. I have no idea what it's called, but does anyone have a recipe? I'd like to try to make it. And also, what are the main spices of Korean food?

Abra, the cookies and the boxes are gorgeous! I want to try baking all of them now! The speculaas cookies are too cute Can you share the oatmeal cookie recipe? I've never tried a crispy one before! I'm sure they taste great too? Did you "sample" any?

An argument can be made that there are other Constitutional provisions more important than the purpose of "[promoting] the general welfare," but the Constitutional basis for these actions, misguided or not as the actions may be, is right there. Furthermore, it seems pretty clear that the courts will not rule that governments have no right to "encroach on the right of the people to make decisions for themselves." Most every law in fact impinges on that right, which is not absolute; otherwise, murder wouldn't be prohibited (or, if you want a victimless crime, it would be legal to purchase any drug anyone wanted to purchase for personal use). Now, you may be a diehard libertarian, and that's a respectable and logical position, but it isn't really relevant to the reality of the situation, which is that governments (Federal or lower) DO have the power to encroach on people's rights to make decisions about what they put into their own bodies and, therefore, that the only counterarguments that are likely to have any effect would have to do with just how dangerous this chemical is and what economic impact the ban will have. And my guess is that the ban will be tried for a few years or so and then judged as to its actual effects. ← It's wonderfully vague though, isn't it? That's why attorneys are so successful. The Constitution can be interpreted in many ways, and the statement, "promote the general welfare" is no exception. What qualifies as promoting the general welfare? Where's the line between protecting the people and limiting the choices available? This is all debatable. There's a difference between a ban on drunk driving and a ban on trans fat. While one can have a detrimental effect on many people, trans fat only affects the people who choose to consume it.
