  1. tommy, not a chance. But I'd love to see the pretty pitchurs.
  2. No, sorry. I love caramelized onion. But not on pizza. I find it slimy. And dangerous in terms of slippage. I've never been convinced of gorgonzola, really. It's okay, don't get me wrong. I just don't think it's one of the great cheeses. edit: Spelign erorr.

    Sour salt

    herwol, that's really interesting. Were they actual crystals or lumps?
  4. Pineapple on pizza. :wow: Shrimp on pizza. Blue cheese on pizza. :confused:

    Wild Rabbit

    Oooh. Hang them a bit. They really stink and you need some of that rankness to move into the air. Sure, it can be frozen. Brine them to avoid toughness/dryness. Thousands of ways to prepare rabbit (wild or tame). Do a Google search and have fun. edit full disclosure: "Thouysands"? I think not.

    Sour salt

    Well, it's not really salt so doesn't involve crystals. It's extracted from dried citrus. I've only seen it granulated.

    Tuna Salad

    So I had some ahi tuna steaks leftover. They had been grilled with a (light) Sichuan peppercorn and dried lemon crust (s&p). I made some mayo, added a good bit of Dijon, crumbled the tuna (including the crust). Mixed together. Tasted. Added further s&p. Tasted. Added chopped green olives. I had some scallop surimi. I buttered some bread (sliced from crusty boules out of the oven about twenty-five minutes) with some Normandy butter. Added chopped Romaine lettuce, a good scoop of ahi tuna salad, a drizzle of porcini oil, a few "scallops", a twist of five peppercorn blend. Topped with the other slice. Press. Slice. Served with Moishe's Charcoutre (sauerkraut with hot peppers and cucumber slices from a Montreal deli) on the side. (I was going to serve it so that people assembled their own but decided against that.) How do you make tuna salad?

    Potato Salad

    Stella, what's the Italian dressing? Joanne, the baking tray is a nice idea.
  10. I think so. Gah. edit: Just saw Sandra's reply. A salient point here is the English preference for moistness, American for dryness. Viz the Pret a Porter sandfwich thread.

    Esca

    The exec chef of Esca, David Pasternak, is doing the Chef column in the Times. This one is on tuna. Clickety.
  13. I'm in Ottawa, Junior. I have never seen Okd Dutch chips (crisps).
  14. Thanks, Sandra. Whyfor the name? Does anyone know?
  15. I knew some Catholic kids who used to tear off pieces, flatten them, and give Holy Communion. Another kid did the same and called it "elephant meat". Wasn't "Wonder Bread" as such, but the same kind of stuff.
  16. What are "bread and butter pickles"? I take it there's no bread and no butter? :confused:
  17. I love your Vegan statement in the Portugese episode of ACT. Which I've just seen the other day. FN Canada is finally running it. Funny stuff. But I hope to see more actual cooking rather than just the meals coming out.

    You see, that's my thought. That the kitchen was off just this once...

    Dinner! 2002

    wasn't the crust overpowering? as we've discussed, this is one *very* strong spice. Yes, tommy, it is strong. But not overpowering 1) if one is used to heat 2) likes Sichuan peppercorns 3) uses it judiciously. Too, by crust I mean some nice crunchy bits. Today's entry: Brined chicken quarters with a chipotle/adobo/cumin/panko crust (I mean a crust); frites and fresh lime mayo; sauteed spinach and garlic rolled in wheat tortillas that were grilled and then sliced on the bias; Romaine lettuce soup (pureed, strained, chilled).
  20. Yay for tomato sandwiches on good bread. Does anyone hate cucumber sandwiches? I don't.

    Wilfrid, how often have you had the crudo? Just the once?
  22. Also butting in: The jerks are in the front of the house. Who cares? Stay at the grill and mind your own business. They loved it, they hated it. Whatever. It's too good for them anyway. Heh.
  23. Gah. Cutsey stuff repulses me.
