Wow, you are an adventurous eater! I guess having lived on two continents helps. As well as not being a vegetarian.

Hahahaha "roadkill".

"Sweetbreads" are neither sweet (as far as I know) nor breads--they are some sort of animal innards. They figured into the plot of the movie Red Dragon, in which they were prepared by Hannibal (the cannibal) Lecter, in that case from human innards. Ew ew ew.

Glad that you are still alive, and happy much-belated birthday! since I forgot to send you birthday wishes before. :]

Boo for sweetbreads then!

Thank you for the birthday wishes :):):)
Never too late for receiving good vibes :)

Scottish Eggs, anyone? pisces_brutha September 2 2008, 06:06:28 UTC

I made Scottish Eggs last week for the first time ever. They're simple: Boiled egg wrapped around with sausage. Good protein.

Oh yeah, and I kind of know what heirloom tomatoes are. The nursery I worked at had them and I asked what they were. They're tomatoes directly descended from tomatoes, w/o genetic alteration and all that stuff. They're grown organically, and traditionally people save the seeds of them, and keep growing them. Somehow they cross pollinate, so they're not like inbred tomatoes. but they don't look like grocery tomatoes that are perfectly round, and smooth, but sprayed w/ hormones so they'll grow faster(and likewise have less flavor, b/c not enough time is given for the sugars to accumulate to give it flavor). These are smaller and darker red, and more shriveled skin, but I was told they are delicious....much more flavor than the genetically altered, hormone sprayed ones. See if you can find them at your store and let me know what you think. :)

That sounds like Polish tomatoes that I lust after everyday !
The tomatoes I grew up with in Poland were like that. And they tasted LIKE TOMATOES. LUSCIOUS.
When I came here the watery "flavour" of North American tomatoes was a long time cause for sadness... eventually I made peace with it... and now Poland is starting to get tainted too with the fakes.
Certain brands of cherry and grape tomatoes that I get here are the closest I found to actually having that real tomato flavour.

I hate the big tasteless tomatoes :( Even crappier when theyre kinda pale and spongy! AHHHHHHH :P

So... how exactly do you WRAP the sausage around the boiled egg? Is this some sort of very flimsy or wirey sausage? :P

Yeah, those pale, watery tomatoes are ridiculous! Most restaurants I eat at I say "no tomato" b/c I don't want that watery cellulose crap on my food.lol I bet those Polish ones were grown like the "heirlooms" are if they tasted that good. How tomatos should. I bet you can find some of those heirlooms at a health-food/organic store.

As for the sausage I'm talking about, it's not the kind of sausage in links, but the kind you make breakfast sausage patties with. I guess its ground sausage...kind of has the texture/solidity of raw ground beef. You just boil some eggs, peel off the shells and pack the sausage around with both hands like you're making a snowball. It helps to 1st flatten out a 6inch patty and kind of roll the sausage around the egg as much as you can. Then just place sausage snowballs on a pan and bake for 25-30min. in the oven at 375 degrees Farenheit! ...crap, your ovens are probably celcius. That's 195.5 degrees Celcius.

Ha. Kobe beef. Cyndy and I shared that plate on our first date, first time i had ever had it or even heard of it. Kobe and bleu cheese... the first couple of bites were good, but the nasty bleu cheese just over powered. We didn't finish it.

You've eaten snails?!? gggghhh!

What are eggs benedict? I've heard of 'em. I'm big on eggs right now.
