I'm down with that barbecue, Bryn. Here's the menu:
Grilled Cumin Skirt Steak with Avocado Corn Relish
Curried Mac Salad with Apples and Chicken
Burgers and Dogs (natch)
Steamers and Mussels with Butter
Lobbies
Roasted Corn on the Cob
Fresh Berries with Whipped Cream
How's that sound?
Love fine dining and I am all about the presentation. My girls will sit down and say, "Nice color-meal, Mom." Or, "Isn't this redundant, it's in the salad, too." Or "These flavors really offset each other well." Too funny. When my older one turned three and I asked her what she wanted for her birthday dinner (thinking spaghetti or something) she said, "I want grilled scallops with tomato and avocado salad."
And Robbie, fish and chips sounds incredible as does a Sunday roast - good family comfort foods - and they don't become favorites for nothing. Maybe I'll start a comfort foods thread - my vote goes to homemade baked macaroni and cheese.

Where do I go to get that, Jack? OMG, sounds like I died and went to Italian heaven! LOVE every single item on that menu, especially that rich and deadly carbonara which my husband hates, so I never make it. He's too health-conscious for his own good =/
I'll bring the arugula, it's coming up gangbusters in our vegetable garden his year, can't eat it fast enough.

Hey, tripe isn't animal brains, it's part of a cows stomach. I used to buy it for my dog. He loved it when it was left in the sun to go smelly... dogs can be so gross! My grandmother used to cook tripe. Once the dish cloth fell in the pot, and got cooked along with the tripe, but her guests went on about how nice it was (she didn't mention the dish cloth) and ate loads of it. Ever since then when she's called her dish cloth "the tripe".
In Wales we have Cawl. It's like a soupy lamb stew, and it's lovely with crusty bread. We also have laver bread, which is a kind of stewed sea weed. It's looks gross, but it's actually very tasty, especially with bacon. And cockles of course. They're lovely cooked in vinegar.
do ya get faggots in the states, and I don't mean that as an abusive term for a gay man. It's like a ball of offally bits, served with gravy and mash. I can't bring myself to eat them, but they serve them in pubs when the rugby is on.
Ok, got my film editing to do, gotta go...
