Capitol Hill Blue Forums Misc. Topics Food, Drink and Cooking Wonder what the poor folks are eatin' tonight?

"How do you make your crusts Churl?"

I confess. I make a trip to the store and get the frozen ones. Thaw = prepare.

Florida strawberries just came in to Aldi's. The best I've had in five years... ripe all the way through (red)... not like the white centers that taste like tofu. And $1.39 qt. even better.

Been thinking about best food... Turkey necks. Without a question. Out of the freshly cooked turkey.

Inexpensive?... How about shepherd's pie? Made with ground raccoon or possum.

Yeah, ground raccoon is far preferable to the tree variety.

Yes, if things get bad enough and there are always, unlike strawberries, seem to be enough of them around. During the last Great Depression, possum was a supplemental protein sources, and there is still a yearly [b]festival honoring this noble critter for his contribution.[/b] I never had possum, but I hear that they're supposed to taste like chicken bacon. Squirrel is still popular in these parts, especially squirrel hash. Incidentally, turkey necks make a great turkey stock/broth.

Thanks for the link... I went to the magazine that features the festival... Possum Festival Magazine
Delightful!... especially the advertisers... Kentucky Fried etc.

In Illinois, we celebrate a different animal... the Burgoo!
Held in Utica, Il on Columbus Day each year... about 7 miles from my home.

that's a lot of dead ducks!!

I tried not to eat the duck livers but I was told if I didn't eat them it would be counted against me at state tax time. It took me a while to figure out the dead duck shuns were against me.

Gotta stop goin' to these eatin' sites...
leads to too much extra worry... Sugar Should Be Regulated As Toxin, Researchers Say


Just like cigarettes and alcohol...

Ya think?
