In fact, if I knew I could get some decent snails (I'm guessing Jungle Jim's), I would make escargot bourgignone (supremely easy to make)tonight. There is nothing working for the little bite of snail, then emptying the garlicky butter in to the dish and sopping it up with bread. I'm pretty sure that at least 75% of the dinners I had in Paris with Terry involved me getting escargot. Yum yum.<BR/><BR/>Some people find foie gras (or any sort of liver) disgusting. I love that too-- pan seared please. I think you guys know that though, since Terry and I had our foie gras fest earlier this year.<BR/><BR/>This is a bit processed, but I do love liverwurst, particularly braunschweiger. My grandmother would die if she knew I was eating it now (I hated it as a kid) but mmm. Braunschweiger.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14911168030162240860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148531084084343844.post-58116411605967107502008-08-15T13:38:00.000-04:002008-08-15T13:38:00.000-04:00To clarify: Terry has admitted TWO horrible foods;...To clarify: Terry has admitted TWO horrible foods; the CBB and the cheese sauce are both so disgusting they have to be considered individually.<BR/><BR/>Proud Rooster: Owned by Bush/Cheney fans, if anyone cares about that.<BR/><BR/>I like liver & onions, fried chicken livers, tongue, ho-hos, White Castle and beef jerky.WestEnderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13170032373825704559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148531084084343844.post-76516635251390579362008-08-15T11:52:00.000-04:002008-08-15T11:52:00.000-04:00allison--Sorry for the typo I made on your name.allison--Sorry for the typo I made on your name.The Boyfriendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06234864438993032087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148531084084343844.post-61636955621440628222008-08-15T11:43:00.000-04:002008-08-15T11:43:00.000-04:00allson--You really can find the best junk food at ...allson--You really <B>can</B> find the best junk food at out-of-the-way gas stations, can't you?

It was only a few years ago that I discovered that it's used more as a breakfast food than anything else (we always had it for dinner...OK, "supper"). It's now one of my favorites--with a poached egg on top--whenever I visit the Cafe Edison in New York.The Boyfriendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06234864438993032087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148531084084343844.post-61039900643687040072008-08-15T11:35:00.000-04:002008-08-15T11:35:00.000-04:00Seems like a universally appealing topic!

My skeletons all come out of the closet when I go on a road trip and I'm faced with a selection of chips, candy and sodas at a gas station somewhere in a midwestern cornfield. <BR/><BR/>Number one on the list: Chic-o-sticks.

Basically, it is goetta, stuffed into a natural casing, and lightly smoked. Avril's on Court Street is the only place left, that I know of, still carrying it. Cut off a 6" length, make a longitudinal slit in the casing, remove and discard casing, and bronze the remainder in a non-stick skillet.<BR/><BR/>Corned Beef hash: Grew up on the canned stuff, and still like it, if fried to a crunch. Had some home-made stuff recently in Connecticut, which was good, very mild, but a little heavy on onion and light on potato.<BR/><BR/>Potato Chips and Ketchup dipping sauce: I started this in grade school, for what reason I know not why. Take a dollop of ketchup, add a healthy splash of Lee and Perrins Worcestershire sauce, and a good splash of Tabasco sauce to kick it up. Start with a cup of said sauce and a good sized bag of your favorite chips. Mmmm.<BR/><BR/>Sliders: Need no explanation. ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15313971423632086619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148531084084343844.post-15868884963207406232008-08-15T04:59:00.000-04:002008-08-15T04:59:00.000-04:00I'm salivating over this.

We fry it in a skillet but then put it in the oven to finish baking. Avril's has it. Growing up it was always made with veal.
