Elle, I love that your list includes this:

Coffee Heath Bar Crunch ice cream
Outback ribeye steak

along with this:

Quote
tofu
Brown rice
tamari


Leslie, they eat all kinds of weird things in Louisiana. Once at a zydeco festival, I ate a fried pig's tail. The flavor was fine -- like bacon -- but I was just a little too aware I was eating, well ... a tail. It was curly!   :P

And speaking of salami and cheese sandwiches, I love muffalettas: salami, ham, cheese and a spicy green-olive salad on a gigantic kaiser roll!


David, kippers are readily available in American supermarkets. They don't look as yummy as the ones you posted, though  ;D -- they come sans heads, in flat rectangular tin cans. Look near the canned tuna and salmon. I love them, though after you cook them the house smells fishy for the rest of the day. And I know how much you love fish!  :laugh:

Frying you do in a shallow pan, turnhing the food to cook it on all sides...deep frying (which in my opinion is Gods finest idea), completely submerges the food item in very hot and very yummy fat.

What's the difference between frying and deep frying?

For example, Chrissi, a fried egg is fried, using just a spoonful or so of fat.

Fried chicken is deep-fried, using a big kettle of hot fat. Deep-fried things, such as chicken, are often (but not always) breaded.

Here are some more Fun Frying Facts:

Elvis Presley reportedly liked his peanut-butter-and-banana sandwiches fried, using a whole stick of butter for each.

At the Minnesota state fair, they offer deep fried Twinkies, Oreos and several candy bars -- on a stick.

Some attendees at the 2007 Brokie BBQ went on a short day-trip to Wyoming and enjoyed deep-fried pickles!

Oooooo, I am so **** sometimes. "frying pan" is one of the basic words children learn at school pretty early in English class  ::). Of course I know what frying is. At least normally, but apparently not today  ::)  :laugh:.

Thanks Scott (and Katherine as I see in the preview).

If I have to have such a huge Mr. Hyde side, food-wise, at least, thank God I also have a Dr. Jekyll side.  I actually eat a lot of fresh produce and whole foods, and, alas, CRAP!  :)

Leslie - If you're jonesing for biscuits and gravy, get thee to a Cracker Barrel!  I know they've made it as far north as Massachusetts.

My favorite comfort food - shepherd's pie.

Katherine - Love your food groups!  :laugh: :laugh:
