Here's are a couple of pictures of the spread for one of our feasts. Don't know why this one is on its side. That's dill sticking out of the crayfish and my BIL sitting at the table. http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=31968944&size=m I'm sorry, but to me, eating crayfish and lobster and the like is basically eating bugs. Very *big* bugs. When I was a kid, my parents got something with "lobster sauce" from a Chinese restaurant. I don't even think there was any real lobster in it, because it was as inexpensive as all the other ishes were. But as a kid, I didn't know the difference. All I knew was that lobsters were those monsters swimming in a tank in the supermarket, and I wanted no part of it. But I couldn't tell my parents I was *afraid* of my dinner, so I said I didn't like it, and fortunately, they didn't make me eat it. Now I just feel sad when I see the lobsters swimming in the tank (not at supermarkets anymore, but I do see them in restaurants sometimes). Then I realize how hypocritical I'm being, feeling sorry for lobsters when I feel fine about eating chicken and beef. But that's a whole other subject. Mum and me: http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne...=photostr eam You look great! Was that taken recently? Joyce |

If you have ever cooked a live lobster you will know why you feel the way
you do. You know, head first into the boiling water. I did it once and never again. I will eat it, gladly, but someone else has to hear that sound not me. wrote in message ...

Having read the Survey thread, there were lots of foods I didn't recognise. So, people, please describe or explain: Enfilade - what is a Cottage Roll? Will in New haven - what is Chicken Murphy? Granby - well, I've found out recently that biscuits in gravy is not the same as cookies in gravy and that what you call 'biscuit' I'd probably call 'damper' so whilst 'biscuits in gravy' still sounds very weird to me, its not as weird as I first thought (what I call a 'biscuit' you'd call a 'cookie'). So, how does one make 'biscuits in gravy'? Christine K. - could you describe 'creamy mince sauce', please? Bettina - butter cream cakes sound yummy - you got a recipe? moonglow minnow - what is an apple crisp? Matthew (and Sam) - dumb question but what is 'cornbread' as opposed to regular bread? Yowie - a bit ignorant of international foodstuffs. Sorry Yowie, doing rpca via Google means that sometimes I don`t get to see answering posts. So this question of yours I found by sheer accident. Here's a site with a recipe you might have a look on: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Butter-...-I/Detail.aspx And here`s another loved german cake, not butter cream but nonetheless yummy: http://www.freiburg-home.com/article...gateau/review/ Here`s my aunt's recipe for butter cream: 3 eggs 250 gr. butter 250 gr. sifted powdered sugar (icing sugar) whip together eggs and sugar until frothy and mix with butter, i.e. put in little pieces of butter which was outside the fridge for some time (plain butter, no substitutions like margarine or so) You can vary this ground cream by adding coffee (for Mocca butter cream cake). Strawberries, Cocoa or any other taste you like. There`s a variety of butter cream cake I'd do anything for. It is called "Zuger Cherry Cake", where "Zug" is a town in Switzerland. It is with lots of butter cream and "kirsch brandy", which adds an slightly alcoholic air to the cake. Not for children. Picture he http://www.flickr.com/photos/kochtopf/241444516/ I didn`t find a recipe in english up to now but will search on. Bettina |
