your wierdest favorite food?

“Weirdest favorite food:

frozen chickpeas that I previously prepared from dried ones.

Spruce gum might be someone else's favorite wierd food :)”

“Lasagna- With worcestershire sauce. In fact, I like a lot of things with worcestershire sauce, I could eat a bowl of cereal with worcestershire sauce instead of milk. I guess I would have to say worcestershire sauce.”

“son, does that constitute thread deterioration?”

“Nope, I'm dead serious- But enough of that stuff, and it feels like esophagus deterioration.”

“fried pickles!”

“Johnsville cheese brats on the trail”

“But here's something off the thread topic- Lyndy, I hardly recognised you in those Maine pics. I had to read the names at the bottom a couple times- Lookin' good! :)”

“You are such a sweetie! And Irish too! Thank you very much.”

“But how did you know I was Irish? um, beef jerky dipped in salsa- Trying not to degenerate the thread too much :)”

“Hey, fried pickle slices are good. First had 'em at Hebert's on the Bayou, a dearly missed La.-style restaurant.”

“Beef jerky dipped in salsa sounds good!

I thought the fried pickles was another wisecrack. There actually is such a thing?

And Corp, it takes one to know one, maybe? Or maybe Artex mentioned it. Dunno, but I heard that you lived there, and it is tops on my list to visit if I ever get to leave the continent.”

“Excellent place to go- I was born and raised in Dublin, moved here about thirteen years ago, but I'm actually half British from my mother's side, so I have to kick the crap out of myself every once in a while. Perhaps that's why I'm enjoying backpacking so much... Where in Ireland is your family from? Oh yeah, potato chip sandwiches.”

“hell yeah fried pickles is YUMYUM!”

“Shooters: Ham and cheese inside a hot pepper in olive oil - an Italian delicacy.

Pickled red beet eggs: A Pennsylvania German delicacy.

Corporal, being half Irish and British explains the HDJ's incident. Shoot, you attacked yourself! Turn that medal back into the supply room!”

“Peanut butter and bacon sandwiches”

“Raw Oysters.
Snails.
Raw Fish.

Love em!!!!”

“I'm with ya on the fried pickles dipped in cornbread batter. Also, I love okra but the one that confuses my east coast relatives is cold artichokes dipped in mayo.”

“Fried Green Tomato Hornworms
Yield: 4 servings

What does a tomato hornworm taste like? Well, what would you taste like if you'd been stuffing yourself solely with tomato leaves for the better part of a month? Hornworms are ridiculously chlorophyll-rich. They taste great with just about any summer vegetable, but my favorite recipe draws inspiration from the cuisine of the Whistle Stop Cafe, that fictitious Alabama diner made famous by novelist Fanny Flagg.

"You'll think you died and gone to heaven," boasts Flagg of her recipe. To which I add, "If you do go to heaven, ask the Powers That Be to keep the tomato hornworms out of my vegetable patch."

3 tablespoons olive oil
16 tomato hornworms
4 medium green tomatoes, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
Salt and pepper to taste
White cornmeal
In a large skillet or wok, heat the oil. Then lightly fry the hornworms, about 4 minutes, taking care not to rupture the cuticles of each insect under high heat. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Season tomato rounds with salt and pepper, then coat with cornmeal on both sides.

In a large skillet, fry tomatoes until lightly browned on both sides

Top each round with 2 fried tomato hornworms.

Garnish the paired hornworms with a single basil leaf.”

“shhhh.....Northern Ireland.

Sorry, can't be helped. But my Dad's folks came here in the mid 1800's so we are not responsible for any bombing. Kimmiouville (sp?), Tyrone County. Not even on the map anymore; my Dad went there and tried to find it.

That is awesome to have lived in a whole other country before coming here. I have a lot of friends from Asia, but none from Ireland. You must have some great stories to tell.”

“I like peanut butter & cheese together on a sandwich. Some think it's wierd but I think it's pretty good.”

“liverwurst and apple slices in a sandwich with mustard, lettuce and mayo.”

“I've put beef jerky on my garden burgers before. It just didn't make sense to put lettuce and tomato on it since the pattie is all veggie stuff anyway. Diagnosis? Delicious!”

“Hey LyndyS that sounds good I think I might try that!

“collered greens.”

“I cna't believe you are putting this stuff in your mouth!!!! Do you hate yourself THAT much? ;-{”

“hey collared greens are yum!”

“I agree, stumprider. Collared greens suck.”

“I prefer my greens without collars.”

“It called collard greens!

and you people think we are yankees”

“YUCK!!!!!!

“I'm not sure this is weird, but I like broccoli rapini. Some people don't like it because it's a little bitter, but I think it's good stuff.”

“how about a deep fried Twinkie. Never had one, but I've heard of them from several places.”

“I've never heard of it Rich. Is it a recipe or a hybrid brocolli?”

“hey DM99 - where the he!! have you been.

Bacon is good, but I prefer ringless.”

“It's a form of broccoli from Southern Italy. Smaller buds and many leaves that are edible. It's good mixed with pasta after it's cooked with garlic and olive oil, or just on it's own. I grew some in my garden this summer and it was really better than store bought and very tender. I think it's a healthy thing to eat since it's so green. There has to be a lot of good things in this stuff.”

“Hey richb how ya doin I just saw that rapani at the produce stand. I will try it.
Limbergeron rye with onions and lots of black pepper!
5th ave bar with mustard! Oh Yea bare!”

“Here's a link to Broccoli Rabe”

“peanut butter and onions

“I hear sticks of butter are a real treat.”

“Anyone ever had a peanut butter and banana sandwich where you mash the banana into the peanut butter and then add strawberry jam on top.
When I lived in Wi. many yrs ago we use to eat rhubarb pie, does anyone still eat those.”

“Rhubarb pie is incredible, I should be able to my own next year.”

“we grew great rhubarb in AK. Strawberry and rhubarb pie is great.”

“when we moved from Wi. to Tn. no one down here had even heard of rhubard pie, Must be a northern thing

Now give me some homemade banana pudding cooked in the oven with meringue....yum”

“eskimo ice cream.
