Jun 22 12 1:46 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	So I'm in Burger King the other day to grab a sandwich, and see a sign advertising "The Burger King Bacon Sundae." I like "sweet 'n' salty" as much as the next guy, but who crams a piece of bacon into some ice cream and drizzles it with chocolate? (And then there's McDonald's "Bacon Milkshake.") Rounding off the week, I dropped by an import food store and was greeted at the door by a display of "Haggis & Cracked Black Pepper" flavored crisps. I'm always up for trying any new potato chip flavor (even the not so hot "Hotdog" and "BLT" flavored chips at the local supermarket), but had to draw the line at haggis.

Jun 22 12 5:01 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I am a HUGE fan of experimenting with food. My lasagna is delish, but doesn't contain a single element found in regular lasagna (except, of course, the lasagna itself). I'm currently preparing to experiment with Matzoh ball soup (cooking the matzoh balls in something other than chicken stock (tomato soup, maybe) then transferring them to the chicken soup when finished).

Jun 22 12 6:04 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	While I am a firm believer that anything is improved by adding bacon, I also don't like mixing sweet and salty. I don't even like sweet 'n' sour anything at the Chinese restaurant. The other night Craig Ferguson's guest was fellow Scot Kelly Macdonald and they were lamenting that everybody outside of Scotland runs away at the mere mention of haggis. They both agreed that if you eat hot dogs, you might as well eat haggis. "Same thing," they agreed. Personally, when I was driving through Europe a couple of decades back, I was determined to sample the local delicacies. But, though we spent almost a week in beautiful Scotland, I never had the nerve to try the haggis.

A big "fad" these days is the salted caramel craze... and for good reason- it's awesome. Same with chocolate covered pretzels. Like Phantom, I love experimenting with different combos- you never know when you might stumble on the new thing, and flavor/ sensation combos can enhance the eating experience.

Unfortunately, nowadays, bacon is a triple-whammy: Too expensive, too salty and I'm not supposed to eat it. Personally, I'd rather have one REAL egg (scrambled) and one piece of REAL bacon every month, then that pretend turkey stuff. UGGHHH!! "E" (g) Your Signature ... "....I do hope he won't upset Henry..."

Jun 22 12 8:36 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Bacon is one of those foods I only like in its purest form - in slices. I can't even stand bacon on hamurgers or crumbled up in a salad. BLTs are about the only way I'll eat it combined with other food stuff. The thought of bacon in ice cream is yeechy in the extreme to me. I guess an unusual food combo I like is apple butter and cottage cheese. It's delicious! Taste just like candy!

Jun 22 12 8:47 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I actually like turkey bacon. Oh, it's definitely not bacon. Doesn't look like bacon, doesn't smell like bacon, and, most importantly, doesn't taste anything like bacon. Yet, taken on its own terms, as the particular...umm...animal it is, I like it.

Jun 23 12 3:43 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	The mixing of salt and sugar is a very ordinary thing in "cuisine", in China, France, etc. "Salted Butter Caramels" are well-known since decades in Brittany. In the Basque country I tasted "canard aux pêches" (roasted duck with peaches), it's simply delicious, like "canard à l'orange". And one restaurateur in my town once proposed ice cream perfumed with "New Beaujolais". Etc.

Couldn't be any worse than ice cream with "Old Milwaukee". But then, I eat oatmeal & hummus too. Not saying it tastes any good, but in a crunch it's breakfast. A crunchless breakfast.

I tried it and it was really good. We had this frequently when I was a kid and it was ... okay. The reason we had it? It was cheap, quick and easy. My mom worked long hours before coming home to make dinner, but since it was the '50s-'60s and she was making woman's wages, we had no money. Hot dogs were cheaper and quicker than meatballs. So that's what we ate.

My mom worked long hours before coming home to make dinner, but since it was the '50s-'60s and she was making woman's wages, we had no money." Rick and Wich2, I experienced the same thing, for obvious reasons (war, post-war, a country trying to rebuild), and when we had some meat on the table, that was a miracle ... and expensive. I was 5 when the War ended and after this, for years, if you wanted to buy bread (or anything), money wasn't sufficient, an "alimentation ticket" delivered by French Government was necessary. I don't remember exactly when this ceased, but I was certainly between 12 and 13. For Christmas, we were happy with some oranges, maybe an illustrated book, and chocolate was considered as Heaven's gift. What's funny in retrospect, is that dishes once considered as "recipe for poor people" have become "fashionable". Thus, buckwheat pancakes, in Britanny it was formerly (since centuries) for the flat low-income families (= most of the Bretons, then and until recent decades). Most often they were eaten with salted butter, boiled potatoes, and sour milk. Nowadays, in "Breton" restaurants in Paris, it has become almost a luxury, but if the buckwheat has remained the same, they have added different garnitures like ham, or salmon, or cheese, etc... Strangely enough, or perhaps not - a perfume of nostalgia? - I still prefer them as I ate them in the Fifties. Last Edited By: todmichel Jun 24 12 5:40 AM. Edited 1 times.
