One thing I had in mind for this thread was a place to go when stuck without an idea for what to have. There'll be times when I scroll through this until something goes 'ping!'

― WmC, Thursday, 17 December 2009 20:02 (sixteen years ago)

^^^I was thinking this thread would be such a resource too, thus far joygoat's is the most mysterious and alluring suggestion

― like having an eternal kazoo in your underwear (acoleuthic), Thursday, 17 December 2009 20:03 (sixteen years ago)

I'm curious about harbl's #8.

― WmC, Thursday, 17 December 2009 20:05 (sixteen years ago)

oh yeah i said this on some sandwich thread but the best sandwich i have ever had was avocado + gruyere + some kind of raspberry spread. like raspberry hummus or something.

(followed by your smoked oysters + sriracha...and I trust by Polish sausage Jaq means Sopocka? Because that stuff is fabulous)

That sounds lovely, Harbl. One of my favourite desserts is the Mess, which is made from fruit compote, cream and mascarpone, but that might be even better

― like having an eternal kazoo in your underwear (acoleuthic), Thursday, 17 December 2009 20:08 (sixteen years ago)

36. Trying to narrow down okra beyond 'okra and curry'...but I can't. Okra and curry.

― Meteor Crater (jdchurchill), Thursday, 17 December 2009 21:24 (sixteen years ago)

Velveeta and Rotel tomatoes

^ my mom has a crock pot of this simmering at every family gathering ever

― joygoat, Thursday, 17 December 2009 21:53 (sixteen years ago)

Yellow mustard, there is something perfectly right about it + well-done polish dog. Terrific lunch btw, also included #15.
