As some of you know, I read a lot of food blogs. Occasionally I come across pictures and descriptions of dishes I could never make but would really like to eat, such as the 100-Layer Lasagna, below:

Del Posto restaurant in New York City serves a lasagna that's 100 layers. Nope, that's not a typo. click to show

I'd love to make this if it didn't sound so damn difficult. I guess I will just have to go to NYC and eat at Del Posto.

Share your food finds and show us what tempts you.

holy crap that looks scrumptious! You got my glands going... (salivary that is).

I'll have to think of this one...

That looks amazing. My foods that I want to eat and crave very, very badly are much more simple fare. Corn on the cob. Cornbread, and as I hate to admit it, Corndogs. I've somehow become highly allergic to corn and corn based products, and the results vary from incredibly irritating hives to a few instant trips to the emergency room.

There are so many dishes I want to eat but can't make or don't have the skill/time to make.

Here is one I've been drooling over for years since I've heard of it.

Lamb "Prosciutto" from Salumi's in Seattle (you better believe if I go up to Oregon to visit, I'm taking time to drive to fucking Seattle and buying my weight in this meat).

Fucking beautiful, slow aged the old way.... oh god I'm so fucking hungry for this right now. All I need is this, cheese, bread and a few bottles of wine and I'm good for the night.

Idyllic · 05-25-2010, 06:25 AM

LordEden, that lamb"prosciutto" just truly took my breath away, and I literally made a sound of "aaaahhhh" when I say it, oh my.

I would love to wrap that around a pretzel stick and then dip it in some pine nut hummus, or just wrap it around a stalk of grilled asparagus..... sigh...

I love asparagus, in all it's many applications, or just raw, that's probably one of my most favorite foods. Oh, and seafood, ALL seafood.

The Coldstone large Peanut Butter & chocolate shake has 2,010 calories and 68 grams of saturated fat.

Now at Tim Hortons: ‘Worst beverage in America’
May 26, 2010

STAFF REPORTER

“The worst beverage in America” is a bit more conservative in Canada, Tim Hortons told the Star on Wednesday.

One of Cold Stone Creamery’s new flavour ice cream shakes, with 2,010 calories and 68 grams of saturated fat, was declared the unhealthiest drink out of a list of 20 worst, according to Men’s Health magazine.

The ice cream company’s peanut butter and chocolate milk shake packs the equivalent of 68 strips of bacon in saturated fat, the U.S. health magazine’s Eat This, Not That website declared.

In Canada, Cold Stone is tucked inside 40 of the 3,000 Tim Hortons, including 17 across the Golden Horseshoe.

The giant-sized drink isn’t sold in Canada, Tim Hortons spokesman David Morelli said. Just the 1,280-calorie size and the 1,690-calorie size are.

“Milkshakes are in indulgent treat,” said Morelli. “We offer lots of healthier options, too,” including a fruit smoothie in the test stage and high-fibre muffins.

Cold Stone is a “premium ice cream that uses dairy products that come from Canada,” he said. “Our customers have fallen in love with it.”

Cold Stone fans can indeed be fanatical, trading rhapsodies and discoveries online.

On the plus side, a 16-ounce PB&C shake delivers 60 per cent of a person’s daily requirement of Vitamin A, 80 per cent of the daily dose of calcium, 15 per cent of the iron and 8 per cent of the fibre, despite 58 grams of saturated fat, nearly three times what anyone should eat in a day.

“We want to give our customers options, so they can decide the kind of food they want to eat and where.”

To Morelli, a PC&B might be a “reward after a hard-won sports match” or a date drink to share with someone special.

Cold Stone sent the Star some “calorie saving tips” to temper the richness of its “super-premium ice cream.”

Substituting “Sinless Sweet Cream” for ice cream in any make-it-yourself dessert will cut 57 per cent of the calories and all of the fat, said spokeswoman Jami Thompson. Likewise, ladling blueberries rather than Reese’s Peanut Butter cups into an ice cream will eliminate 180 calories.

Only twice have I had a proper French meal, but the first time I sat down with one it was a dish with a roast quail and a duck leg.

Quail is a largely French thing, and so I don't see it available on menus usually. Apparently it's also included in Maltese, Portuguese, and some Indian cuisine as well, but I think it would be even rarer for me to find it that way.

My SO isn't too keen on French cuisine, and I'm not sure how much she'd enjoy Maltese or Portuguese, so I really should go out of my way on my own to find it.

So, yeah, roast quail. Try it. It's not like a chicken but smaller...they're uniquely delicious.

Cynthetiq · 05-26-2010, 10:45 AM

a good vietnamese restaurant will also have quail.

Good to know, but my SO doesn't seem to like Vietnamese at all. She's more into Chinese, Thai, and the sushi aspect of Japanese. There are many Vietnamese places in Toronto; maybe I'll look around.

Edit: I tested this. The first Vietnamese restaurant I checked out has a dish of honeyed quail for $8.95. I must look into this further.

I used to not like Vietnamese either, what I found was that I didn't like french vietnamese cooking.

when I found more chinese vietnamese cooking it was more to my liking.

The only thing I've really tried is the vermicelli soup stuff. Whatever they call it: I think it's broth with rice vermicelli with raw vegetables thrown in. Quite tasty, and I'd have that again.

Edit: pho, that's right.

LordEden · 05-26-2010, 12:08 PM

Phoooooo sure.

*rimshot*

You can also buy quail in the grocery stores, I've seen them frozen in my little rinky-dink stores here in nowheresville NC. I bet whole foods has them.

Do a dry rub, let it soak in, then oven roast it like chicken. Not hard at all to cook.

Pho. yes. It's a regular on our menu: rare beef shaved paper thin and lots of coriander and basil

How is the quail prepared?

My wife likes quail, and I especially like quail eggs prepared in the Scotch egg manner. Makes the meal more approachable because the eggs are smaller.
