I used to turn up my nose at Spam until my husband fried some up and covered it with country gravy....HHHMMM, I'm beginning to see a theme to my posts...anything (almost) is edible with country gravy on it...

I used to eat Spam only every once in a blue while. That is until my first trip to Hawaii. I went to Sam Choy's grub shack in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island and had the Loco Moco made with Spam instead of hamburger. It is two heaping scoops of sticky white rice topped with several slices of fried Spam topped with two fried eggs and completely smothered in brown gravy. OMG! OMG! OMG! Yes, it's so good that it gets three OMGs in my book! It tastes great and pumps you full of plenty of fuel for an activity-filled day in the island paradise. I'd eat it more often, but I really don't want to end up on the Oprah show (or worse yet, Dr. Phil) talking about my uncontrollable weight gain. I really don't want Harpo huggin' and sobbin' all over me!

p.s. I made the blue dumplings tonight! Mmmmmmm, tasty. I actually went onto FoodNetwork.com to find a dumpling recipe, and one of the first few recipes was Blueberry Dumplings by Paula Deen.

When your ready... you will know.

it takes skill to balance between being onTopic, in an offtopic convo and going offtopic, but not enough to annoy the mods and getting a thread closed out.


This thread reeks of awesomeness, and mustard.

Yea who would sensor this thread.

Don't forget small steamed shrimp. They go good with the Spam.

[RobbW]

Hmmm, fried Spam... covered with melted peanut butter and crushed Ruffles. Anyone willing to try?!

I used to turn up my nose at Spam until my husband fried some up and covered it with country gravy....HHHMMM, I'm beginning to see a theme to my posts...anything (almost) is edible with country gravy on it...That being said...a list of things I won't eat, even if it were swimming in country gravy.

Snail
Brains
Liver
Kidneys
Tripe

Gives me the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it!!

Phil...you eat Vienna sausages but not Spam...you crack me up:lol: :lol:

You really need to try snails, they taste very good. Not being sarcastic either.

Liver does taste terrible though, and that's all I've tried on your list.

I love trying exotic foods, here is my list:
Goat (tastes very similar to lamb)
Raw fish (sushi, not uncommon for people to try or like this but it's on the list anyway, I love raw salmon sushi with a dash of wasabi...)
Snails (tastes very good, i had an Asian variant though, not french)
Chicken liver and pork liver (my mom would sneak it in my food when i was like 5 years old, it never worked out because it has a VERY distinct and bad taste)
Head Cheese (didnt like it, ate it at a German Restaurant)
Chicken intestine (tasted like a mix of chicken liver and chicken meat...)
Shark fin soup (i feel bad for eating this, it was a long time ago, well a long time ago in a 16 year old's eyes, anyway, besides the fact that supporting shark fin hunting is a terrible thing to do it actually tastes good...)
Rabbit meat (dont remember the taste, just remember i ate it)

Wish i could expand the list, my history teacher reportedly tried dried camel dung when he visited the middle east.... I probably wont go that far....

Oh yes, hot dogs, ketchup and cheese only, maybe relish

 

[Ladipyg]

I'm suing Paula Deen...that Blue Dumpling recipe has been in our family since my Bushe (grandma) brought it over from Poland. They used many different kinds of juices...just depended on your taste...currant, loganberry, blackberry, cherry (double yum if you add some cherries to it while it's boiling and then serve it with the dumpling) Makes me wish my mom were still here so we could laugh and talk about all of this...but since she's not...you guys & gals are a great substitute...thanks for all the smiles and giggles today...

My wife makes awesome Pierogi she uses her grandmas recipe and has mastered it. Of all the fresh made ones I've tried hers are one of the if not the best. (not just because she's my wife either) I love hearing her say she is making them until I remember I always get stuck rolling dough all day.

 

[ppurcell]

Yeah, I know it's totally inconsistant. Vienna=good, SPAM=bad. I like canned corned beef hash too...

I've learned that most game food doesn't work for me. I've had rabbit, deer, goose, elk, buffalo, stingray fin, sailfin, shark, and a few other odd animals; none of which appealed to my taste buds. On the other hand, I have had escargot, alligator and frog legs which were pretty tasty at the time.

I suspect it is all in the preparation though...

 

[Ladipyg]

I love corned beef hash...fried really crispy, then you make a couple of depressions in it and put and egg in each one, put a lid on till it's cooked and your good to go, especially with a lot of fresh pepper.

On the game side, I've had and liked: Buffalo, bear, deer, alligator, snake, shark, rabbit, quail, pheasant, elk

On the not again side: turtle, goose...that's it really

 

[JPSKI25]

I just have to say this thread is worse then the Best Scotch/Whiskey thread. I want all this food now!!!! After the mention of all the Polish dishes leaves me wishing my Grandma was still alive, so I could go over for dinner. There was never fast food or quick meals at her house. When she was cooking it was an all day thing. I remember being forced to eat Gawumki (spelling?) as a kid because thats what she made. I would kill for a plate of that with fresh homemade saurkraut, pierogi, and dumpling soup. Its funny when you're a kid you don't realize the things you will miss as an adult.

This is Chicago.

Mustard, onions, tomato, relish, pickle, sport peppers and celery salt.

In other words... Drag it through the garden!

One more thing... It's gotta snap!

+1 plus kraut if they got it

 

[LatinoHeatCHI]

This Is Just DisGusting :lol2: It's Like A Prego Womans Craving Wish List!

 

[Helter Skilter]

Positively disgusting... yet oddly enough it's making me hungry.

 

[FiReBReTHa]

Here is what we had the other night.


Venezuelan Hot Dogs.


Mayo, cabbage, onion, lays chips and mustard

 

[adamjr]

Finally I was waiting for someone who knows real food to speak up , any good food came from NY to Chicago then they take it here and mess it up : IE: no ketchup ,we'll put tomato, and make the relish florescent green!! Oh yea while your at it take that pizza take the crust off and cut it in square pieces . Or how about a beef sandwich, kindof like a cheese steak but instead in Chicago you take Deli roast beef soak it in hotdog water dip the bread in the hotdog water and serve it without cheese. :lol: :lol: Although I live here and I'm still fat !!!
:eek1: :eek1:

QUOTE]

If you're going anywhere and getting deli roast beef in hot dog water then you're going to the wrong place. Italian beef is sliced thin from a whole roast and put in true Au Jus on a hard Gonella roll. Nothing at all like a cheese steak which, by the freakin way, came from Philadelphia and not New York. Maybe where you're going is as much of a problem as where you came from.:twitch:

One of the weirdest combinations that I tried recently was not only good eats, but had the added benefit of making everyone around me gag a little bit. We were on vacation in WDW and having breakfast at the Whispering Canyon Cafe at the Wilderness Lodge. I ordered a breakfast entree that came with pancakes, bacon, and biscuits with sausage country gravy. I spread a generous amount of butter on the two pancakes, slipped all the slices of bacon in between the pancakes, drowned the pancakes in country sausage gravy, and then proceeded to pour some maple syrup over the whole mess. I cut a hefty bite and put it in my mouth. It was so good it brought a smile to my face. Then I looked up and saw everyone looking at me in horror, my wife, her friend, and even our server, whose face just went pale as a ghost. I simply asked, "What?" And then shoved another bite in my mouth. Priceless!!!

The hardest part to imagine here is that you survived that carb and cholesterol orgy!:hmm5:

 

[Crazy Tiki]

standard ketchup, mustard, relish and onions and if available jalepenos

 

[rcgogo]

I grew up 2 blocks away. I was raised on those things. You haven't had a Chicago dog, if you've never been there.

This is what hot dogs should look like.

Portillos and all those other places are good but I will drive an hour into the armpit of the hood for a Jimmy's hotdog! Only place that I know where the cooks all pack 9mm. Also well known for never being robbed.

 

[FiReBReTHa]

I dont like the above pic, your eating bread with some beef on top. Bleh. bad ratio.
