i thought it was kinda a crappy choice, considering the company and the other wines that were offered.

bushey, hot tuna is just crazy. and they never had a hit if you think about it. this is the type of thread that reminds me of how incredible egullet is. my head is now filled with all types of ideas of what to do with the starkist in the fridge. i can run out to the garden and grab some mint and scallions, i can reach for the capers, a baguette is certainly in order, i mean, my tuna world went from one-dimensional to like, x-dimensional, x being boundless. cool.

priscilla is trying to pitch us. i'm still not buyin it, even though i started buying it before lunch. ron johnson, fried bologna sandwiches?!? cool. i tried to like them when i was young, and i never really did. then in college, when i was smoking pot pretty much daily, fried bolongna sandwiches were, like, the best thing in the world. i haven't had a fried bologna sandwich in about 8 years. :confused:

i've been drinking a lot of this lately. i'm not sure why. it's very inexpesive, and tastes pretty good. i think i'm hooked.

kjohn, i bought my first case of sam's light yesterday in NJ. it was everything i hoped it would be. and made for a pretty miserable morning as well.

Hope you don't categorically rule out shrimp on pizza, Tommy. For me, one of the best pizzas ever, one of the best THINGS ever, was a pizza at a little place called Caioti in Laurel Canyon with shrimp wrapped in applewood-smoked bacon, (broiled), generous squiggles of really good pesto, provolone. Never matched, to this day. And not for want of trying, neither! i'm not buying into this shrimp thing. first off, my impression is that generally these are crappy small shrimp. they are probably very tough from being overcooked, although i'd imagine they are thrown on at the end of the cooking process? truthfully i can see something in your applewood smoked bacon wrapped shrimp. that at least is an entire parcel with lots of dynamics going on, most of which would be desirable on pizza. the provolone just baffles me.

this, RULES. i know what i'm doing tonite. who wants to come over and join be?

from a can. :confused: with mayo, celery, pepper. no onions. a problem i always had with tuna at home is that when you realize you want it, you have to make it. now that's not a big deal, but then you end up eating warm tuna salad, which is pretty disgusting. one of the many things mrs. tommy has taught me over the years include this little gem: store the cans of tuna in the fridge, rather than the pantry. she's brilliant. or maybe that is common knowledge and i'm just thick. either way, it works.

this should be illegal. shrimp? oy. :confused:

actually, i think that's what they're trying to do. whether that's right or wrong, good or bad, well, we have to decide. wilfrid, clearly, doesn't dig it. i, clearly, don't know any better, and i think it's "pretty neat." :confused:

from a comedic standpoint, "sushi" is *always* funnier than "sashimi".

belize offers a sufficiently disgusting version of this dish.

click here. that is, at least until the next upgrade comes around. a thick skin certainly helps. being aggressive rarely helps.

LOL! don't be silly.

thanks jaymes, i think. back to the food. i've probably never had a decent version of huevos rancheros. it is apparent that it, like all foodstuffs, can be a wonderful dish. it's a shame that the hudson county area doesn't offer much in the way of decent mexican restaurants. baja, in hoboken, offers a suffciently disgusting version of the dish, and unfortunately that is the version with which i'm most familiar. although i don't recommend it, for some it is the perfect hangover cure, which probably accounts for 98% of the meals ordered at baja on any saturday or sunday.

i will continue to post in the style that i see fit.

nice job on the research mamster. it seems that a lot of foods are acidic, and very few are basic. if we assume that this list is a good representation of the world of food.

slightly harder than sushi?

i think they are the sum of their parts.

but how do you look in clogs? i quite like some of those crudo thingies over there.

why doesn't jason ever want to order a tasting menu? i'm baffled. :confused:

note to phaelon56 (oh how passé): did you not like my reply? if not, i suggest that you don't make a big deal of it publicly, and instead shove it in your arse and see what grows. you asked for information on a place close to north bergen, union city, and west new york. cleary, hoboken is close. i have been to baja, many times, and find their version of huevos rancheros for shit. perhaps you'll waste a brunch there and report back? otherwise, don't pick on me. please, don't. and if so, why? can i ask for a vote? who at egullet thinks i make a fool of myself? just wondering.

i think i just fell in love. no, that was sick. even for me, that was sick.

that's just crazy talk. end of discussion. :wow:

i'm just sayin', ya know?
