	Am I the only wannabe-gourmet who thinks that liver just tastes disgusting? (I also feel the same about various hifalootin' mushrooms) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Word! Stew Leonard's does a wonderful portobello mix: many varieties of mushrooms, chicken broth, onions, pepper, garlic. If my refrigerator was working, I'd stop there on my way home tomorrow. Pepper (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Stew Leonard's? As in, Norwalk, CT Stew Leonard's, or have they spread? I'd heard rumors of a Hartford location around the time I moved to TX... moment of overwhelming nostalgia (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pfeffermuse 2005-02-11 10:13 am UTC (link)
	Yup, that Stew Leondard's Norwalk, Danbury or Yonkers. They also have the best cuts of meat around -- and when you hit a sale, it's great.I hit a sale on Delmonico and Porter House stead for $2.99/lb. You can't ask for better than that. Pepper (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Do they still have that sad little "farm" of unkappy animals breathing exhaust fumes, and a zillion flavors of juice in half-gallon cartons? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Everything* is better with mushrooms. And garlic. And mushrooms and garlic to it and I will eat most anything. Also, mushrooms are fun to slice. The sharp knife just glides right through them. Yes, I am aware I have issues. *Except dessert. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Everything* Re: the star. Actually, I eat mushrooms with the cream cheese and marshmallow fruit dip my mother makes to dip fruit in for dessert. No one else I know has yet dared to try this combination, even though I swear up and down it's great. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Same here. (Mmm, mushrooms. Mushrooms in olive oil with cracked pepper and sea salt. Yummeh.) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	singe 2005-02-11 02:40 am UTC (link)
	No, you ain't the only one. Any sort of non-muscle meat (calves brains, chicken giblets, geese livers) makes me hurl. Mushrooms, too. Just call me Ralphie. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I think liver goose pate is delightfully rich myself, especially if you just put a sliver of it on top of some golden-toasted bread. Beef and chicken liver on the other hand... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	One of my favourite treats is stewed rabbit testicles (yes, really) and I still manage to hate liver. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Whereever does one obtain rabbit balls for eating? O-o Do you just kill them yourself or...? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mael 2005-02-12 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	They come with the rabbit. Heh. You buy rabbits skinned and whole, then you take the organs out and use those as dressing. The testicles are the tastier bits and reserved for the youngest in the family (aka, she who can pout harder, namely me). We call them "rabbit eggs". The kidneys are good too. /culinary TMI (Reply to this)(Parent)

I go to a small public school in a rich suburb where we all have our heads up our own asses. At a recent school dance some of the girls complained of being groped while they freak-danced. Color me shocked. At the next dance, without any for-warning the administration enforced a no-touching-while-you-dance rule. The kids got pissed off and held an impromptu parking-lot rave. The admin called the cops on the students. Now they are going to fight the man. (It should be noted that a good number of the people in the various threads have graduated last year.) Mostly juvenile melodrama, but I thought y'all might enjoy.

	you don't tell me what the fuck I can use in my food. They do, actually, dear. It's why absinthe, tiger whiskers, and hallucingenic mushrooms are so hard to find. (Reply to this)

	Isn't it spelled "foie gras"? Foie gras always makes me think of Iron Chef. They put goose liver and truffles in absolutely everything. It's awesome. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	singe 2005-02-12 12:19 am UTC (link)
	I did a Google and it looks like both are often used but I found nothing on which is correct. I think both are. And, YES, the Iron Chefs cutting gigantic slabs of the stuff! Half the fun of watching that show was boggling at the phenomenal budget they must have had. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	LANGUAGE WANKER ALERT marlo 2005-02-12 12:42 am UTC (link)
	Well although Dictionary.com is no authority: Fois gras is a no-go. "Fois," in French, actually means "time," i.e., "deux fois" means "two times." Whereas "foie" means liver. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
