NOW EATING

We've had a few interesting "NOW..." threads, and I think this one might be fun too. Post your favourite food and, if possible, a brief description of the ingrediants and how to prepare it.

My favourite is the donair: Spiced meat, chopped onions, tomatoes, and a few other veggies served wrapped in pita bread and smothered in the mystery sauce. Apparently Atlantic Canada the only place in North America where they've really become popular, owing to the large community of Lebenese immigrants we have had since the early 1980's.

A traditional Acadian dish that my mother makes very well is Rappie Pie - shredded potatoes layered alternately with chopped onion, bay leaves, and pork, and whatever spices you like. Bake it until it "stays together when you cut it" (as my grandmother always said). This is a great meal for college kids like me - very cheap, extremely easy, and quite tastey.
 
There's one meal the Duke's mom makes that we don't like:
Lasagna with spinach.

We had a mutiny. It was a good time.
 
Now eating...

One of those little halloween boxes of smarties...mmmmm

My turn, now...

Eating seafood is healthy, it is common knowledge (at least with fresh seafood [!--emo&:dork:--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/dorky[1].gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'dorky[1].gif\' /][!--endemo--] ). I personally appreciate very much the following dish (I’m very serious of course):
Go into the sea and have a look around. If you’re lucky you’d see some nice invertebrates with tentacle-like legs [scientifically speaking these animals belong to the Phylum of the Cnidaria, the Class of the Anthozoa and the order of the Actiniaria].

They live on the surface of the rocks down the waterline. They are pretty urticant therefore go back home and take some gloves. Go back to the sea. Use a fork to unstuck these bastards from the rocks. Carry them in your kitchen. Put them in a mixture of 1 volume of vinegar for 3 of water. Wait 1 hour (not more because the animals may be dissolved into the liquid…)
Take the glove out of your hands. Open their mouth (or at least what is corresponding to a mouth in these sea anemones) and take the sand and other small mineral remains you’d probably find inside (hey, at this stage the animals are quite dead!).
Now you can put them into fresh water. Strain them carefully. Cut the largest into 2 pieces. Roll them into flour. Fry them during 4 to 5 minutes. You’re done. Eat with bread, lemon and white wine.
Cheers!

That reminds me of an "American Dad" episode where the fake bum bites off his own finger. That's a funny show, does anybody else here watch it?

Hey, you guys are mean! I haven't eat anything today and it's 17:55 already. I'm freaking starving and you are talking about food!!!! [!--emo&:cussing:--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/cussing[1].gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'cussing[1].gif\' /][!--endemo--]

Well I wish I had a couple Tlacoyos to eat!!! (No, you don't know what it is [!--emo&:D--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/biggrin.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'biggrin.gif\' /][!--endemo--] )
 
I'm going to eat a schnitzel-sandwich (is that the way to spell schnitzel?) with ketchup. Best sandwich in the world.


Schnitzels are pretty common here in Transylvania and in most of Romania, as this part of the country was a regio of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the schnitzel is an austrian dish...
 
My Austrian grandmother makes the most delicious schnitzel.

Oh, how I miss home cooking. [!--emo&:(--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/sad.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'sad.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

I do cook for myself, but it just doesn't taste anywhere near as nice as the food I get when I go home. I'm a 'Can't Cook', not 'Won't Cook'. [!--emo&:)--][img src=\'style_emoticons/[#EMO_DIR#]/smile.gif\' border=\'0\' style=\'vertical-align:middle\' alt=\'smile.gif\' /][!--endemo--]

I'm quite surprised that nobody made a comment on my recipe. I wasn't joking and it's true that I eat sea anemones. If you can't cook an elaborated dish why not trying my recipe? It's pretty easy to fix provided you've got the animals. Obviously if you live far from the sea.....
