What's your favourite food or wine?

[Pete Hanlin]

Thanksgiving day turkey with stuffing (the dry fluffy kind, not the wet goo Southerners refer to as "filling")... followed up by Middleswarth BBQ potato chips and grapenut ice cream (its a Central PA thing).

Also, there's a dessert wine called something like "Spate Lasen" (that's what it sounds like anyway). Incredibly sweet... Either that, or any ice wine.

thanks so much, my partner is loving that web site. What really gets me is a food label on a pack of sliced ham i read the other day - contains milk, water, pile of E numbers and preservatives... why on Earth is there milk in Ham? Does your head in

I am a label reader..It really does my head in...
Can you imagine if they listed what antibiotics & hormones where given to that animal as well.

I love the fact that they do not list that they add food colouring to beef to make it that nice bright red colour.

Jeez- sorry off topic I shall not continue...

Thanksgiving Dinner is still the best. When I moved to Maryland, I was introduced to Maryland Stuffed Ham ( stuffing's major ingredient was Cheaspeake Bay Oysters).

On my side of the state it was swet potato ans shoo fly pie!

I think it's Spatlese--refers to German wines that are intensely flavored. The term means last or late harvest if memory serves.

I am wild for Thanksgiving dinner, and the dressing made with just stale bread, celery, onions, heaps of butter, some chicken broth, pepper, celery salt and sage. Hmmmmmmmm..

In fact, I've heard that up Nawth you don't even know about fried Turkey yet!

Oh really? For your information we serve deep fried crawfish! (but only to the dogs)

My favorites (quite pedestrian)

1.) My special "italian spring pasta salad"
2.) My cilantro-heavy salsa with blue corn chips
3.) Iced tea, mildly sweetened

If you can find a bottle of Lafite Rothschild in a vintage year......'59 was a favorite of mine, it will make whatever red meat you accompany it with, the best meal you ever had. Unfortunately its very rare now, and when you can find it you probably could finance a small country with what it would cost. Haut Brion '64 is another notable bordeaux only slightly less expensive.

I no longer drink spirits, but if I ever decided to start again, that's where I would begin.

Maryland crabmeat brulee...from San Vito down the street from my house...it's to die for!

As far as Wine goes, the best wine I've ever found is 'Hardys Crest - Cabernet Sauvignon' I can drink it like it's water.

[jherman]

Woof Woof!!

Got to agree with you on the mud bugs Chip.

Chip will also tell you the best fried turkey is injected with spice 24hrs prior to the hot bath.

Where are my BBQers? Don't ya'll get Bobby Flay's show up there.

My favorite food is BBQ

Prefer Whiskey over winers, I mean wine.:shiner:

Chairtime:

For many years we used crawfish for trotline bait. Then the first time I had crawfish etuffe, my reaction was: "My God, I've been wasting these for bait?"

If you ain't been there you can't know what it's like.

Fried Turkey! I'm from Louisiana, and Cajun Fried Turkey is the BEST! I can't wait to put my turkey frier to use next week! (Did you ever see that Allstate commercial? I swear I never burned my house down! I swear it!)

Food: Fried turkey (of course), crab legs
Wine: White Muscadine (good ol' 'possum grapes')

I love crawfish, thought it took a while to get into that head sucking thing. Crawfish etoiffe (I think that's right, at least I try Chip, you clearly could care;) ) is divine, the only problem is it's a major pain to make and not many restaurants up here in the benighted north can do it justice.

We went out the other evening and tried a new place--one of those byob little places. It was delightful, especially a three mushroom soup--so often mushroom soup is muddy or bland, this was perfect. A long way round to say my favorite foods are winter foods: stews, soups, chilis, pot roast...yumms!

[chip anderson]

Foolish Englishman, a man without God is unfit to enjoy such delacies in this life.

Think of them as little tiny lobsters. lol

Looks like a lobster - tastes like mud to me! But then, I'm a Brit, so guess my palate isn't that refined;)
