Tons of celery seed and peppercorn aroma - I said something about making a Bloody Mary with it and they said they do that pretty regularly. If you're in an area they distribute to I'd recommend them pretty heavily. They also make a distilled-beer spirit called Hopschnaps, and it's loving delicious. Nevada got a whole five bottles of it, so good luck finding it, but if you're at all a fan of craft beer it's a really interesting distillate. The hop bitterness is cooked off but the citrus/pine notes are well preserved.

I'm not particularly near one of their distributors (I think; the three links for Oregon distributors are all dead or direct me to a Japanese page) but I'll keep an eye out. That sounds wonderful.

Girl at work asked "What should I cook for dinner?" Her husband is a giant child and will not eat: Vegetables (other than potato) Fish Beans Basically they eat Mac & Cheese, chicken nuggets, cheese quesadillas, and poo poo like that every day. Every suggestion I made was shot down. Poor girl.

I have found a legitimate sufferer of gluten intolernace who is not a whiny food bitch. And she is my cousin. She had childhood leukemia, which badly hosed up her immune system, and while she loves wheat and gluten stuff, it makes her seriously ill. She makes up for her lack of bread by eating some serious other things, like kimchi and offal cuts of meat, and sorghum beer. She now works in a health food store, and is the go-to girl for everything gluten intolerance. You go, girl.

therattle posted:On a recent flight to Norway there was an article about surstromming and it referred to a Greenland food (I hesitate to call it a delicacy) whereby auk are wrapped in seal skin and buried. After some time they are retrieved, unwrapped, the heads twisted off, and the liquified insides sucked out. So, Wiggles, how does that appeal?

Happy Hat posted:It's kinda low on salt, but otherwise ok... They're not really buried, they're just placed under stones. I saw Zimmerman eat some rotten fish cheeks with some natives in Alaska... they buried fish heads in a bag in the sand at mid tide, and then dug them up and ate them. The tribal elders were gleefully chowing down on them... while wearing rubber gloves to keep the smell off of their hands. EDIT: stupid grammar.

Great link: All The Comments on Every Recipe Blog My favorite: quote:“I don’t eat white flour, so I tried making it with raw almonds that I’d activated by chewing them with my mouth open to receive direct sunlight, and it turned out terrible. This recipe is terrible.” Yet again, the line between parody and reality is distressingly blurry.

therattle posted:Well in that case I'll have three. I always find that the liquified innards of just one auk is never enough. Honestly - what most of the Greenlandic cuisine has to offer is... Well.. Singularily tasting, as in, yes - it is not really a fusion of flavor profiles, more the thing tasting of the thing.. Does that even make sense? It is more a question of getting fats and proteins, mingled with the occasional starch (rare), when you're talking the original thing. A seal liver straight from the seal tastes exactly like you would envision seal liver that is body temperature to do, only much more so... Whale blubber tastes like you would envision it to, only more so. Seal eye tastes like you'd think it would, only more so. Reindeer small intestine content (you suck them, as far as I remember) tastes like grass smells, half digested, only more so.. And auk, well.. That tastes like auk..

Here's a dumb joke. Is it called an auk because that's the sound you make after you've eaten it?

One of the local dairies finally started distributing their milk by themselves instead of just sending it off to the regional distributor, and it's really fantastic. Went to pour some out of my half gallon jug this morning and a great big dollop of cream care out.

I know there's an Atlanta Goon in here. MY WIFE (Borat) is there for a few days on bidness and it just occurred to me I should send her somewhere for good food. Gunshow? How much does it cost and could she get in with a couple people in the next couple nights? Heirloom Market BBQ? It sounds good. Where would be better?

Where is she?

She'll love it. lol opinions are certainly divided on the vortex. the place sucks oval office. it's a second class burger joint at best? and the servers treat you like assholes because it's their MO? you can find this restaurant in almost any american city, I certainly would never recommend it for someone visiting Atlanta. it's got 0% of the very small unique interest and draw Atlanta restaurants have. gunshow is a good bet, but it has been hit or miss for me. check the atlanta thread and post a little summary of her timeframe, budget, mobility, etc, and I'm sure someone will help out.
