Let me give you your signature dish

Everyone needs a signature dish; a meal or entree that is distinctly them. For a limited time I will give you a signature dish based on your cellar persona.

If you complain about your meal you won't get dessert.

The kitchen is open.

I'm game.

i could use a little smackerell

Ooh! If I have a signature dish that might motivate me to try to make it. I'm in!

Mmkay

I'd love one, but hold the foam please.

Hit me !!

I want a whole tasting menu.

you'll get some pie and like it

I gots the hungries!

Oh yeah, I'm in :)

er . . . how can it be a personal signature if someone just hands it to you?

I want one! :yum:

OK, let's hear it.

I suppose mine would feature bananas, Fostered, raw, or fried...

ooo! ooo! ooo! I want one! I want one!

better get cookin', foot. you're in the weeds now!

Uh-oh, looks like we got us a "smarty-pants" on our hands here. See: Mr.Show

[COLOR="Blue"]"...He and Bob start to discuss this as though it was an actual news event, until Keith interrupts them, to point out that it was just a joke. Keith is forced to spend the remainder of the show in the "Smarty Pants," a giant pair of pants filled with vanilla custard."[/COLOR] I wish I had a video clip.

ooooh, that sounds . . . squishy! and possibly bad for one's personal pH.

so does that mean custard is my signature dish?

I'm just getting to know y'all, so I'm sure you don't know that I was burned badly as a kid.

maybe I can be creme brulee?

;)

Yum .... I mean yup - me too please!

F³ make it so.

I think foot was just trying to get everyone to pay attention to him. I don't see anyones dish name yet!

I had to pick up a lot of slack last night and then was in bed at 8:15. Signature dishes are being prepped for posting later this am, when inch3 is at story hour.

Me too, Foot3. Me too.

Okee-dokee

Your signature dish is

Jinx's signature dish is
1# Pecan halves cooked in 1/8 stick of butter until quite hot, then 3/4 cup of real maple syrup is poured into the pan and stirred constantly until the maple syrup has lost all its water and is crumbly.

Remove pan from heat and rest in snow until cool enough to eat. eat immediately.

Notes: Use a cast iron pan, stir continually until pan is put in snow.

That's all till later, I gotta get to work.

Cinnamon? Really? I'll try it.

I'll have some of UT's.

I think Foot's should be pig's feet gumbo.

Oh and as I'm on a diet, can I have a starter rather than a main?

I promise I'll tip well.

Hello waiter. No, thanks, a glass of water would be nice, though, thank you. What does the chef recommend today?

I'd tell you about the grossest thing I ever ate, but I don't know you all that well yet. (bats lashes)

I did an oyster shot once but I was very, very drunk.

Did I miss mine?

Oysters, like most things, are fine...so long as you dont chew and just swallow ;)

I have looked around a little and I can't find this , I am assuming it is some kind of sausage .

I've never heard of weissbrat.

What I do know ( I think ):
Weisswurst is a veal and pork sausage from Bavaria. In U.S. meat markets it's usually called something else, but I can't recall what. It's also one of my favorite sausages.

Weissbrot is just white bread.

ok that makes sense , I found the white bread , so I was cornfused

I'll come up with another one for you, but you'll have to get back in line.

I'm cool with that. smackerell was a poohism. funny, i expected a keilbasa or some other cock like food. too obvious maybe.

Hi all, it's been a busy week. Meals are in the kitchen, sorry if I missed a couple. Inch is likely to hit the hay early tonight so I'll likely have all your meals up shortly.

Glatt-
Since I have been avoiding the obvious for everyone else, eg, no Coconut pie for Pie, (though I did work coconut in) no coq au vin or cock aleekie for LJ, no Frog's legs for UT, no Peking Duck for Duck's nuts, etc etc. I will avoid any kosher type foods for Glatt, likewise I'll avoid the obviously trafe/treyf dishes.

Your signature dish is Eggplant Parmigiana, raddichio endive salad, and a chilled Gabbiano chianti.

Oops, nevermind. I should read a thread in its entirety before I post. Lesson learnted.

I will go with the wiener schnitzel. I do have quite a bit of german blood, after all.

Classical and tasty, I'll give it that. I like spinach.

Now I'm off to look up Branston Pickle to see whether I eat it out of a jar like deli dills on the tables at Danny's in Ventura CA, or if I need a specialized instrument of comestation.

[later] Nope, just a spoon to get it out of its jar.

Eggplant, huh? What would the kosher dish have been? And what's trafe? I don't mean to seem ungrateful, it's just the last time I had eggplant was over 30 years ago, and I didn't care for it. Well, I'll try it.

...

Hey, not bad. The tomato sauce and cheese mask any eggplant flavor. Not the best dish I ever had, but not bad. The raddichio endive salad was great. And the chianti takes me back to Italy... Thanks.

Just realised I didn't thank you for mine - cheers! A Ploughman's eh? Very tasty....

I'll have the pickle, onions and bread. I'll have to leave most of the cheese for someone who isn't on a diet though. And the Guinness, sadly :guinness:

Thankee very much. I'll take SGs cheese, but leave the Guinness. I prefer wine with my meal.

Yum!

Glatt, then you'll like what's been happening to eggplant (aubergine across the pond) in the past three decades of hybridization effort: that strip the roof of your mouth puckeriness that eggplant used to finish up with has been bred out of the eggplant crop. I'll look up a Turkish recipe known as "Fainting Imam" for a kinda different sort of take on how to eat eggplant -- look for it over the next couple-few days on the Most Recent Recipe Thread.

It's there now.

Trayf is Yiddish for "forbidden." You know, pork chops, Canadian bacon pizza, the cheeseburger...

Rather belatedly I'd like to say that this is right up my street ...

Count me in. What's my signature dish?

BTW, I'm not strictly kosher but I do avoid pork.

Avoid pork? You can run but you can't hide.

With your multi mammal poll I'm tempted to give you horse, but that would be too simple.

You signature dish is mammal paella. A tiny tad of each of the mammals listed made into a traditional paella.

Sorry, yes that's what I meant - the dish you gave me (chicken satay and coconut crusted shrimps) sounds great - can I add a little lime :D ?

Why would you eat it without a good squirt of lime, come to that?

I sincerely hope that you are still up to this challenge, Foot! I'm hungry.

I like mine, I often do roasted hens with spiced/herb goat cheese under the skin with garlic in the cavity.

Yours is in the kitchen as we speak. The Inch3 points out that standard wolf fare is mice, but I think we'll avoid the wild game in your case.

Anyhow, up shortly.

Wolf I had a hard time not sending you a Philly cheese steak sandwich. Instead I am offering you a bacon cheese burger withfried onions and mushrooms served on a kaiser roll. If you've ever eaten at Greasy Nick's (aka Leno's Clam Bar) then you know what I'm talking about.

Rocky road ice cream for dessert.
