Images of Deliciousness
Hail Citizens!
I have been dreaming of food. If I could order from the dream menu it would be… A Porterhouse Steak This one is about 20 ounces of gastronomic pleasure. It is really two steaks in one, a subtly flavored fillet on one side, on the other, a robustly flavored New York strip. Notice the perfect marbling…magnificent! It comes from the cow’s short loin. That’s were the flavor lives. These steaks include parts of two muscles: the savory top loin and the buttery soft tenderloin. They must be grilled; there is no other option. This might be my soul steak. Here is the air brushed super model version. There is something distant and impersonal about her beauty. Here is the steak next store She knows what to do. I will now await Orpheus to fulfill my order. What foods would you let intrude upon your dreams? I long for your images of deliciousness. -GH |

If I could order any food item, it would be wagyu (a.k.a. kobe).
Yama Shabu AAA-Private Stock 175$/10 lbs. I would make it into a delicious beef tataki (marinated raw beef served over onions and topped with creamy mayo like sauce). I am drooling as I type. My favorite Japanese restaurant here used to serve beef tataki made from wagyu, but since the madcow scare in Japan they have basically stopped importing to America. Typically, I only eat my beef medium well to well done (depending on who's cooking) because it's more flavorful to me. I make the exception with this dish because if it's prepared right, the meat just melts into your mouth. It's not chewy or tendony when raw like beef here. It's pure deep red tender beefy goodness. American beef is just not the same. (Most wagyu are grown here, but they are a Japanese type of cow.) A close secondary choice would be carpaccio. Something I long to eat more is shark fin soup. Unfortunately, they are being overfished due to popularity of this delicious soup. Not only is it affecting the ecosystem, but the price of a decent bowl (just one bowl) of soup starts at about 100$. Some places replace shark fin with a different kind of fish, but it's just not the same. The imitation shark fin is rubbery and chewy. Something else I haven't had in quite some time, but love so so much is quail. So far, I've only ever eaten them at Chinese wedding banquets. I think the way I usually have them are roasted. It's so delicious, but so tiny. When they're alive they make really cute noises as they run away with little dingle balls hanging from their head. I can only think of how delicious they are when I go hiking and see them. I would also someday like to identify the only Indian curry I've enjoyed. It was a mild curry, not spicy at all. The sauce was a beige yellow-orange mildly thick consistency. Underneath the tasty pumpkin chunks that were soft like cooked zucchini. The flavor was not at all sweet (like all the recipes for pumpkin I keep finding and not liking). Then there are the various animals I still would like to try: kangaroo, venison, bear, scorpion, snake, iguana, and elk. And the ones I have tried and liked: alligator, ostrich, and buffalo. Kitsune Udon. I love big chewy noodles and soup broth. Not only do I find myself dreaming about these food items, but thoughts of them often haunt me when I'm awake as well.

Hail Motdakasha!
Your post was delightful. I love quail. They are so tiny and delicious. Once upon a time a friend of mine had a bunch of quail in the freezer. We grilled them in the back yard. Like miniature chickens We ate them with our hands, tore into the little creature's crispy brown skin with gusto and sucked the succulent flesh from the bone as the juice ran into our beards. If but for a moment, we were giants. We were also in our underwear. Laxative, you surprise me with your all-American vision. A much tastier meal than the sandwich you gave me for my birthday. -GH |

One of the requisites is to be rich, though. And here's NY/Sirloin Strip Kobe Marbling is very different in kobe. Good site to compare the cuts: American vs. Wagyu. General info.

Kupo, kupkup, kupopo...Po...Kupo!? KUPOPO!!! Kupoo... -Moguta
It is taboo to reveal to a gentile an image of a kupo nut, but they bear some physical resemblance to a hazelnut. This kupo nut is like ambrosia. We are not allowed to share, I am sorry.
