#it tartar like ny

[dinosaurwithablog]

I did it!!! I made NY pizza in Washington State!!!!! Oh my, it's sooooooo good. I hand grated caccicavallo, Parmesan reggiano, and pecorino romano. I made a fantastic sauce with the rinds of the cheeses and the cheese themselves. I, also, used some of the Alfredo sauce that i made the other day on the pizza. But the thing that made it authentic NY pizza was the dough. My good friend Vinny, who owns Super Pizza, in Bellmore, NY, shared his wisdom about making pizza dough, and it made all the difference in the world!!! The dough was thin, light yet crispy, and it folded just like it does in NY. And from now on, I'm ordering real Italian cheeses online because it tasted so much better than the store bought cheeses do. I'm proud to say that was the best pizza that I've ever made! Thanks, Vinny 😍😋😊 that was spectacular!!! ❤️❤️❤️ mama mia, that's a great 🍕🍕🍕🍕😋😍

Potters Field Restaurant and Pub

425 Potters Road

Buffalo, NY 14220

I decided to venture out for an out of season fish fry to celebrate “National Fish and Chips Day!” Every year the first Friday in June! Mark your calendars for next year. Why is it that South Buffalo has so many great fish fry joints?

We pulled up around 5:30 pm. Tiny parking lot that holds maybe 8 cars but we were able to find side street parking on Woodcrest Drive without a problem. Fun neighborhood pub vibe with friendly people enjoying a drink at the bar to kick off the weekend. We sat ourselves inside at one of the 12 tables surrounding the bar. There was outside seating available on their front patio too. (6 tables) It’s a small venue but I really like how it doesn’t feel crowded as you eat.

Our waitress Molly greeted us and got us a our beers. She was very sweet. Nice selection of everybody’s favorites. Not a ton of choices, but something to please all tastes. I ordered the beer battered fish but they also had Italian breaded and panko. Broiled options were lemon pepper, Cajun, or Parmesan crusted. Skinless haddock also available in a half size. Fish came out crisp and piping hot. Great taste and perfectly cooked. (9)Just a wee bit greasy but not overwhelming. Besides that my only complaint was the portion size wasn’t huge like others in town. I’m afraid if I ordered the half, I would have wanted more. They had a great offering of sides. You know I need my holy trinity! Each fry comes with coleslaw and Mac salad and then you choose your potato. (Choices! Now that’s the bomb in my book!) Cole slaw was not very crispy. A mix of green and purple cabbage with carrots mixed in. Oil based dressing. Kinda bland. (7) Mac salad was elbows with carrots, egg, and celery. Lightly dressed. Good not great. (8) Now here is where they get MAJOR props from me… you can choose your type of potato. Fries, sweet potato fries, potato salad or German potato salad. I wanted to try more than just one, so I ordered fries and a side of German and American potato salad. They only charged me $1 extra for each. What?!? I was ecstatic. The holy trinity just became the fab five! Fries were skin on. Nice and crispy with the perfect amount of salt. Run of the mill but nicely done. (9) Potato salad featured onions and peppers with cubed white potatoes. Flavor fell short. Definitely missing something.(6) German was a pleasant surprise. Again featuring cubed white potatoes. Had a nice vinegar kick but could have used a touch more bacon. (8) Tartar was really yummy. Creamy with a heavy pickle presence.(10)

Overall a very solid fish fry. (8.5) Just the choices alone bump it up a notch. Great atmosphere and from what I hear, new owners. South Buffalo peeps. Staff was friendly and very efficient. I will be back for sure!

Nak if you could eat anything with like no price limit what would you get? You a lobster kinda guy?

"Well Most of the stuff I like is rather affordable.. but uh.. Maybe that Carpaccio stuff or Tartare Aitreo told me about? I'd say I'd get it to try it out.. Or Maybe goin to that steak house Hagvin takes Me? I don't like a lot of red Meat but that but I knoW that uh.. NY strip? That's been the best steak I've tried.. She keeps tryin' to offer Me soMe of her favorites or to try soMethin' More expensive.."

"I do like fish.. but eh. Lobster is a pass for Me.. not sure Why but it's too sWeet for Me. Though I like it with rice or noodles!"

Here's How You Knew Libs Were Going to Melt Down When Trump Visited McDonald's

Over the weekend, Donald Trump worked at McDonald’s in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It was an ace-campaign stop. The photo opportunity was a home run, which broke the minds of liberals everywhere. The ownage was so complete that all they could do was cope and seethe as Trump made fries, served customers at the drive-thru, and made a mockery of Kamala Harris’ purported stint at the fast food giant.

The fact that liberals cannot wrap their heads around this move shows how detached they are—and yes, of course, the customers were pre-screened: Trump got shot in July. It’s as if the liberal media thinks we’d be shocked to learn that this was a political stunt, and that Trump never worked at McDonald’s. 

What a Watergate-like scoop! 

It served as another incident where endless mockery of this industry is warranted, but we did get a snifter of the mayhem that was to come with this piece: some “ex-McDonald’s chef” claims that making those fries is difficult (via NY Post): 

Manning the fries at McDonald’s is no small potatoes. Pennsylvania mom Rayanne, a staffer at the fast-food franchise, tells The Post she often clocks in for shifts at 4 a.m., prepping the kitchen to serve up those crispy sticks of heaven come lunchtime.  It’s a task confirmed fast-food fan Donald Trump may be tackling in her home state this weekend.  […]  “Being a McDonald’s employee is more difficult than a lot of people imagine,” Mike Haracz, an ex-executive chef for the restaurant chain, told The Post, casting doubts about white-collar Trump’s upcoming blue-collar gig.  “Unless the scenario is fabricated in his favor, he will not do a good job.”  A former manager of culinary innovation for the U.S. menu, Haracz, 40, from Chicago, tells The Post it takes a certain je ne sais quoi to excel at the potato post. 

Enough. High school kids cook these fries. Also, it’s a French fry—he’s not making steak tartare or Beef Wellington. Some are trying to turn French fry making into a process akin to crème brulee. Everyone knows this is nonsense, which is why, among other factors, the meltdown was predictable.

The Left melted down, but we had some fun:

Okay, okay... hear me out: Spiderman! Childe. That's it lol-

Ahhhhh Spidey Childe! It's so popular and addicting now. But like, the suit is skintight, so... if he's hard... can it be seen through his pants? Is there a bump or smt???

Anyway! Its fluff, hope ya like it!

Art: ha_.ze on Instagram

Warnings: FLUFF, swearing, not proofread.

Swinging from building to building, body soaring between structures with webs that spun from his wrists, Spiderman waved off the citizens as he returned with a mission well-done. And among the crowd, you shook your head amusingly at his show of popularity, lopsided smile on your lips when he finger gunned you. He was very outgoing and prideful of his victories as well, competitive and teasing in the same ways as Iron Man boasted of his newly built inventions or how Stark tower stood high and mighty - the apple never fell too far from the tree, at least pupil/teacher-wise with them.

You watched as his already small figure get smaller and smaller by the second until he turned a corner and disappeared from your sight before you left to meet him at whatever location he sent you. All you had to do is walk away from the mass like Spidey did and wait for his message, who normally arrived a few minutes after he finished his mission.

TarTar [12:51]: Hey! I'll be at Xiangling's.

With that received, you swiftly turned around and marched towards the Wanming bistro, your neighbourhood's known stop for delicious food. It was a few stops away from the tall, looming skyscrapers and glass buildings of NY city- ok... maybe it was more than 15 minutes away... that's why NY city had its somewhat efficient subway.

(Name) [12:52]: I'll be there in half an hour, order smt, I'll eat with you.

Not a second passed before you got a call, from none other than spiderman himself.

"Girly, what do you mean you'll be here in half an hour?" his voice rang through the phone, pouty and demanding attention. "Can't you hurry up?"

You sighed, balancing your phone on your shoulder as you recharged your bus card.

"I don't have any sorts of speed and power as you, Ajax," you explained, scanning your card and passing through the subway. "If there's no traffic, I'll be there in less than 30 minutes, alright?"

"Ah, then I guess I'll have to eat alone," he whined, letting out a puff of exhaustion. "And here I wanted to spend time with you."

His whining sometimes got on your nerves, but it was Ajax, prone to acting like a child that he was - a very boyish and toned childe.

"You try taking the subway in rush hour, Ajax. Pushing and rushing won't do anything. If it makes you feel better, wait for me outside the station, I'll try my best."

"Hmm~ Sounds acceptable at most," he hummed, voice lowering slightly to sound deeper, like a certain Dr. Zhongli. "Be quick, I'm starving!"

"Good thing Xiangling cooks fast, then. See ya, Ajax," you hung up, huddled into the cart with a few dozen citizens with you trying to get to their destination.

***

"YOU TOOK FOR-EVER!" Childe screamed into your ear when you joined him outside.

Much to his disliking, you scoffed in his face.

He was lounging on a bench, face stuck to his phone when you arrived, he looked so comfortable in his bomber jacket that you thought he was going to melt into the bench. You had, unfortunately, taken longer than 30 minutes, much to your and Childe's patience.

"It's rush hour for fuck's sake, Ajax," you slapped his shoulder harshly, walking to his side. "Must you scream like a child? It's really unbefitting of the string hero that saved NY city this evening~."

He gasped dramatically, playing along with your teasing, something you often did for fun. He gripped his shirt, closed his eyes and lowered his head in a defeated manner as you chuckled at his display. Tapping his shoulder, you shook him from his stupor to point at Xiangling's waving figure, smiled wide and cute.

"I texted Xiangling on the way, ordered your fav," you returned her wave, urging Childe to walk faster.

"What? You did that for me? You shouldn't have-!" he beamed, wrapping an arm around your shoulder and weighing you down a bit.

"I also put it on your tab."

He suddenly stopped, pulling you back with him as he grabbed your shoulders, face inches from yours with a shocked face. You could feel his breath on your nose and dull, blue eyes piercing into yours.

"On.. my tab??"

He sounded surprised! Surely, he could pay for it with the money he gained from working as an intern for Iron Man.

"A measly 20 ain't much compared to the money you gain, no?" you cocked your head, blinking innocently as you pulled away. "Isn't it, Ajax?"

He grimaced, doomed to pay for your food. Shoulders lax and arms dangling on his side, he sighed, accepting his duty to pay for you. Poor boy, falling for your traps so easily, not that he wouldn't return the favour later

"Alright, you got me!" Childe flayed his hands in the air, trailing behind your cackling form as you pushed through the entrance. "You're paying next time!"

"Whatever you say, TarTar."

"You thought of a way to travel way faster, you say?"

Holding a single, salted French frie, you used it to point at him, brow lifted while he droned away with his crazy ideas. You were seated in a booth near the window, sharing your French fries, burgers and drink with him, with the couples discount - which wasn't that much of a farce.

Childe nodded enthusiastically, biting a mouthful of burger. His cheeks were stuffed full, round with Wanming's delicious food and mouth covered in sauce. He looked like an overgrown chipmunk - to which you snickered, fist trying to hide your grin.

"Whaaat?" Childe asked, still eating.

"Ew, swallow before taking, it's disgusting-" you cringed. "-and you'll choke."

He swallowed hard, a smirk splitting on his face, eyes lidded and conveying a lustrous gleam:

"Choking you say, I bet you'd choke on something else too, girly~."

Caught off guard, you sputtered, choking on air as his words hit you, an underlying meaning to his words that would surely make you and the people eating around you flush.

You dropped your frie in favour of hiding your red face from the ginger, red-tipped ears and cheeks bloody red that would become a victim to his teasings. Peaking from between your fingers, you stared at Childe's cheeky expression: cheek resting on his palm and eyes crinkled from his adorably handsome grin, teeth flashing brightly.

"God, you're cute, (Name)."

His smirk seemed to grow increasingly bigger as you hid your face again, you were just the cutest in his eyes.

"So~ onto the subject at hand: I found a way to travel faster, way~ faster than by bus, car and walking - I found the best way of travelling."

***

"OHMAHGOD- IM GONNA FALL!!! IM GONNA FALL!!! PUT ME DOWN!!!!"

Your arms wrapped around Childe's neck for dear life, clutching onto his skintight suit as if you'd fall from his embrace. He supported you with one arm, using the other to swing from web to web, cackling his head off while you screamed for your own.

"PUT ME THE FUCK DOWN, AJAX!!! I SWEAR TO WHATEVER GOD OUT THERE THAT I'LL RIP ALL YOUR HAIR OFF IF YOU DON'T PUT ME DOWN!!!"

"Don't be such a worrywart, (Name)! Like I've said, I've got you! It's not like I'd just drop you, you're my precious damsel in distress!!"

Your nails dug into his skin, making him yelp and fingers grip your hip tighter.

"I AIN'T ANY OF YOUR STINKY AND SWEATY SHIT!!"

"Hahahaha! Love ya too, girly!"

Response To: Why There's a Left-Right Divide among Libertarians

A response to a Mises.org article “Why There’s a Left-Right Divide among libertarians”. 

The distinction between “left” and “right” in politics is absolutely worthless. This distinction has been inadequate from the very beginning and has brought about a lot of misunderstanding. — Ludwig von Mises, The Free Market and Its Enemies: Pseudo-science, Socialism, and Inflation. Irvington-on-Hudson, NY: Foundation for Economic Education, 2004. p. 5

What an absolute woeful article. You can most certainly support the take that libertarians have transcended the false paradigm of left vs. right, and ALSO reject the incredibly poor conception of labelling libertarianism as: “economically conservative but socially liberal.”

If you want to talk idiocy, it's attempting to REDEFINE the left / right spectrum.

[1]

The usual terminology of political language is stupid. What is "left” and what is “right”? Why should Hitler be “right” and Stalin, his temporary friend, be “left”? Who is “reactionary” and who is “progressive”? Reaction against an unwise policy is not to be condemned. And progress towards chaos is not to be commended. Nothing should find acceptance just because it is new, radical, and fashionable. “Orthodoxy” is not an evil if the doctrine on which the “orthodox” stand is sound. Who is anti-labor, those who want to lower labor to the Russian level, or those who want for labor the capitalistic standard of the United States? Who is “nationalist,” those who want to bring their nation under the heel of the Nazis, or those who want to preserve its independence? What would have happened to Western civilization if its peoples had always shown such liking for the “new”? Suppose they had welcomed as “the wave of the future” Attila and his Huns, the creed of Mohammed, or the Tartars? They, too, were totalitarian and had military successes to their credit which made the weak hesitate and ready to capitulate. What mankind needs today is liberation from the rule of nonsensical slogans and a return to sound reasoning.“ — Ludwig von Mises

[2]

For some twenty centuries Western man has come to accept the Aristotelian theory that the sensible position is between any two extremes, known politically today as the “middle-of-the-road” position. Now, if libertarians use the terms “left” and “right,” they announce themselves to be extreme right by virtue of being extremely distant in their beliefs from communism. But “right” has been successfully identified with fascism. Therefore, more and more persons are led to believe that the sound position is somewhere between communism and fascism, both spelling authoritarianism. The golden-mean theory cannot properly be applied indiscriminately. For instance, it is sound enough when deciding between no food at all on the one hand or gluttony on the other hand. But it is patently unsound when deciding between stealing nothing or stealing $1,000. The golden mean would commend stealing $500. Thus, the golden mean has no more soundness when applied to communism and fascism (two names for the same thing) than it does to two amounts in theft.” […] Libertarians reject this principle and in so doing are not to the right or left of authoritarians. They, as the human spirit they would free, ascend—are above—this degradation. Their position, if directional analogies are to be used, is up—in the sense that vapor from a muckheap rises to a wholesome atmosphere. If the idea of extremity is to be applied to a libertarian, let it be based on how extremely well he has shed himself of authoritarian beliefs. Establish this concept of emerging, of freeing — which is the meaning of libertarianism—and the golden – mean or “middle-of-the-road” theory becomes inapplicable. For there can be no halfway position between zero and infinity. It is absurd to suggest that there can be. — Leonard E. Read, Neither left nor right

RE: "The Left, on the other hand, is defined by a devotion to egalitarianism"

Just redefining the whole spectrum will get us all no-where, but moronic unnecessarily conflict. Talk about divide & conquer.

"In addition to our re-evaluation of the origins and nature of the Cold War, we engaged in a thorough reassessment of the whole “left-right” ideological spectrum in historical perspective. For it was clear to us that the European Throne-and-Altar Conservatism that had captured the right wing was statism in a virulent and despotic form; and yet only an imbecile could possibly call these people “leftists.” But this meant that our old simple paradigm of the “left Communist/total government … right/no government” continuum, with liberals on the left of center and conservatives on the right of center, had been totally incorrect. We had therefore been misled in our basic view of the spectrum and in our whole conception of ourselves as natural “extreme rightists.” There must have been a fatal flaw in the analysis. Plunging back into history, we concentrated on the reality that in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, laissez-faire liberals, radicals, and revolutionaries constituted the “extreme left” while our ancient foes, the conservatives, the Throne-and-Altar worshippers, constituted the right-wing Enemy. Leonard Liggio then came up with the following profound analysis of the historical process, which I adopted. First, and dominant in history, was the Old Order, the ancien régime, the regime of caste and frozen status, of exploitation by a war-making, feudal or despotic ruling class, using the church and the priesthood to dupe the masses into accepting its rule. This was pure statism; and this was the “right wing.” Then, in seventeenthand eighteenth-century Western Europe, a liberal and radical opposition movement arose, our old heroes, who championed a popular revolutionary movement on behalf of rationalism, individual liberty, minimal government, free markets and free trade, international peace, and separation of Church and State-and in opposition to Throne and Altar, to monarchy, the ruling class, theocracy, and war. These-“our people”-were the Left, and the purer their libertarian vision the more “extreme” a Left they were. So far, so good, and our analysis was not yet so different from before; but what of socialism, that movement born in the nineteenth century which we had always reviled as the “extreme left”? Where did that fit in? Liggio analyzed socialism as a confused middle-of-the road movement, influenced historically by both the libertarian and individualist Left and by the conservative-statist Right. From the individualist Left the socialists took the goals of freedom: the withering away of the State, the replacement of the governing of men by the administration of things (a concept coined by the early nineteenth-century French laissez-faire libertarians Charles Comte and Charles Dunoyer), opposition to the ruling class and the search for its overthrow, the desire to establish international peace, an advanced industrial economy and a high standard of living for the mass of the people. From the conservative Right the socialists adopted the means to attempt to achieve these goals: collectivism, state planning, community control of the individual. But this put socialism in the middle of the ideological spectrum. It also meant that socialism was an unstable, self-contradictory doctrine bound to fly apart rapidly in the inner contradiction between its means and its ends. And in this belief we were bolstered by the old demonstration of my mentor Ludwig von Mises that socialist central planning simply cannot operate an advanced industrial economy. The Socialist movement had, historically, also suffered ideologically and organizationally from a similar inner contradiction: with Social Democrats, from Engels to Kautsky to Sidney Hook, shifting inexorably rightward into accepting and strengthening the State apparatus and becoming “left” apologists for the Corporate State, while other socialists, such as Bakunin and Kropotkin, shifted leftward toward the individualist, libertarian pole. It was clear, too, that the Communist Party in America had taken, in domestic affairs, the same “rightward” path-hence the similarity which the “extreme” red-baiters had long discerned between Communists and liberals. In fact, the shift of so many ex-Communists from left to the conservative Right now seemed to be not very much of a shift at all; for they had been pro-Big Government in the 1930s and “Twentieth Century American” patriots in the 1940s, and now they were still patriots and statists.“ — Murray N. Rothbard

The way forward is to keep clear the distinction between law & ethics:

��It is becoming clearer and clearer to me that ethical and legal theory need to be completely disentangled and that at the essence of what libertarianism is we find a legal position rather than an ethical position (sure, the legal position can and is combined with various ethical positions, but this does not make the two identical in content). Understanding what rights are (legal) is different than deciding how, whether and in what ways to actually respect them or not in action (ethical). Now when I look back at Rothbard, I am seeing that he effectively was already doing this (some passages above and elsewhere, even in Power and Market), but was still bogged down in the use of the word "ethics” in the effort to distinguish what he was talking about from economic theory (and this usage continues in Hoppe, with the word “ethics” subbing in for what I think is actually “property theory.”). Yet in looking at what they are actually presenting rather than some labels, it is much much more about legal content (definition of property rights), rather than whether or not one ought to violate or respect such rights (knowing what they are being a separate question) on ethical grounds.“ - Konrad Graf

Libertarianism is neither left, nor right - and yet people are not JUST libertarians. Stop trying to project your personal preferences and universalise them. Freedom brings people together. Trying to redefine the current conception of "left" and "right" is moronic and doomed to fail. The results will just be further conflict internally amongst libertarians instead of understanding everyone has their own "cultural" tendencies. This is why there is conflict.

Libertarianism will get nowhere until we realize that there is and can be no “libertarian” culture — Murray Rothbard, Left-opportunism: The case of S.L.S., part one, in Libertarian Vanguard, February 1981, p. 11.

Can You Digg It

317 Hopkins Street

Buffalo, NY 14220

Good Friday! We arrived to find a spacious parking lot with lots of available spaces. We entered and were warmly welcomed by the hostess. Nothing like a smile and friendly hospitality to start things off right! We perused the beer selection board. Something for everybody! Hold up though… there’s an Irish bar in south Buffalo playing country music?! Didn’t see that coming! We were seated in their side room. How come there is no wait on one of the biggest fish fry nights of the year at 5:30pm?!? Our server Molly was a sweetheart and promptly got our beers and took our orders. There was a whole page of fish options, all cod. The beer battered was a good size piece. Nice light, golden, crispy crust. I must admit, when I took my first bite I was in love. Ready to give it a ten. But as I worked my way from the end of the fish to the middle the batter got a little doughy. I think it just needed just a bit longer in the fryer. (8.5) Tartar had a lot of pickle kick and flavor. Dinner came with a half piece of rye bread on top. This place has 6 side choices and you get to pick 3! The Fries were skin on steak fries(9). Mac salad was elbow macaroni and celery featuring a mix of poppy seed and salad dressing. Different but a bit bland. (8) German potato salad had big chunky potatoes with quite the vinegar bite. A wee bit dry for my taste.(7) Lazy pierogis was the best of all the choices. Rotini noodles with mushrooms in cream sauce.(8) I was so disappointed they were out of coleslaw! Just that fact that all their sides are homemade makes me happy. The side portions were HUGE! Overall, I give them an 8.5. I would definitely recommend giving them a try. The owner noticed me taking pictures and came over to make sure everything was ok. He has two lovely young ladies, Abby and Dawn cooking in the kitchen that came out to say “hi” as well. Beautiful and can cook? That’s pretty fantastic! My only recommendation is add American potato salad to the menu. Fish frys in buffalo have to feature the traditional “holy trinity” of slaw, mac, and potato salad to score high. I do love that they have the other options as well. A real bonus, that sets them apart! Please note: this is a cash only establishment! I will be back to try their slaw and bring the crew! Stop in. They will take great care of you!

I do not understand British snack foods

* Going back to the vaults and the time I raided a UK import store for intriguing British snacks. This was when I was still living on the North Shore, so I’m pretty sure it was one of West Vancouver’s many many many UK-themed shops because ex-pats & their descendents have more Britishy Britishness than the original print. (First place for Britishesquity in Canada surely goes to VIctoria, which is basically Britain, but with government workers and totem poles.)

SMITHS FRAZZLES CRISPY BACON FLAVOUR CORN SNACKS

I definitely smell bacon flavour when I open the package - emphasis on bacon flavour. And coffee for some reason, but perhaps that's a phantom association. The pieces look more cornish than bacony, although I see how they went out of their way to artificially colour, in barely visible strips, the cornish pieces so that they faintly resemble bacon. (Maybe peameal bacon that’s extremely heavy on the peameal?) They do taste like bacon . . . very, very salty bacon. I had to drink two cups of water and eat an apple to cleanse my palate afterwards to stave off hypertension. The ingredient list and nutritional information isn't horrible, but it isn't good either. (Saved again by decent sized packaging!) And this bacon snack is suitable for vegetarians! Hooray?

SKIPS TINGLY PRAWN COCKTAIL

There are several reasons why I picked this up, the primary one being the curious absence of a qualifying noun: tingly prawn cocktail . . . . what, exactly? The byline reads “flavour” but “Tingly Prawn Cocktail Flavour” isn’t much help. I'm pretty sure it's not JUST prawn cocktail inside this bag. No such elucidation on the back of the package** - just a playful font announcing that "Skips are the fizzy, light and melty tongue tingly snack. Experience the tingle, balance a Skip on your tongue and let it melt in your mouth!" So that's the second reason why I picked this up: all the "tingly" claims. If this is basically prawn Pop Rocks, then Skips gets +100 points for sheer WTF gusto.

When I open the bag, a familiar scent wafts upwards. It smells . . . . like fish. Fried fish, to be more specific. It smells like a fish & chip kitchen. How they even managed to scent these with seafood AND grease is impressive, though probably not what they were looking for.

Looking at the chips, they look very much like a shrimp cracker. They are totally a shrimp cracker, and the tingliness is merely the dry cracker sucking all the moisture off one's tongue as it dissolves into a very, very, very faint shrimp cocktail-flavoured wad of goo in your mouth. One day, ONE DAY, snack bags are going to live up to their hype. I hold on to hope as I scrape off my tongue.

**Afterwards, in very teeny tiny font, I find my answer: "prawn cocktail flavour tapioca snack". Okay. Well. I see why they left that off the front.

SMITHS SCAMPI FLAVOUR FRIES

"Cereal snack with a delicious scampi and lemon taste," announces the bag. I have no idea what scampi is, but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t belong in cereal. I do know it’s an inherently funny word Monty Python used a lot, so I couldn’t resist giving these a try. It tastes of lemon and fish, with a small hint of spice. Surprisingly, they’re quite good. I don’t know how wheat flour and soybean oil can be made to taste like fried fish, but that’s human progress, I suppose. "Scampi" is nowhere in the list of ingredients, but I can ignore my inklings of worry and just enjoy them. At least it’s not tapioca goo.

WALKERS FAMOUSLY WORCESTER SAUCE CHIPS/CRISPS

Fun fact: Britons, in ongoing efforts not to pronounce half the letters in any given place name, have erroneously identified “Worcestershire sauce” as “Worcester sauce”. I can already feel the anger rising and angry comments about to rain down on my ignorant Canadian butt, so I shall direct you the Worcestershireshricesterians themselves. CHECKMATE, BRIT-CHES!

WorcesterSHIRE sauce smells like dirty socks at the bottom of a gym bag, tastes like I don't know because recipes only call for small amounts of it and I'm not sure that I've ever tasted anything else distinctively Worcestershire . . . ian? I suspect this is a sexy sounding flavour to put on a chip/crisp package, but an easy flavour to manufacture in that it's not too far removed from salt & pepper or paprika or roast ox or the like. Expectations: not high. Do they smell like Worcestershire sauce? Thank the heavens, no. They almost smell ketchup chip-y. The taste: it's a lot more complex than I thought it would be. It has a bit of a tang and it's not too salty, It tastes like 3 - 4 different somethings: kind of peppery, kind of vinegary, kind of tomato-y, spicy but not spicy hot. I'd definitely eat these again. Looking at the ingredients, I see these are not flavoured with Worcestershire sauce but with "Worcester(shire) sauce seasoning" which includes: "flavouring" (biggest ingredient . . . and shouldn't that be an adjective and not a noun?), salt, sugar, barley malt vinegar, citric acid, dried onion, dried garlic, fructose, cardamom, ground black pepper, ginger, clove & cocoa powder. Wait. What? These chips could be a half brother to gingersnap cookies.

CALBEE EUROPEAN TASTE BRITISH FISH TARTARE SAUCE FLAVOURED POTATO CHIPS

(IMAGE NOT FOUND)

So. I have notes for these, but no photos. I cannot, for the life of me and after a full day searching on Google, find evidence of their existence (although Calbee DID come out with a line of European Taste chips, some of which I’ve reviewed on this very blog, and I recall being distinctly sad that I didn’t get my hands on the lobster bisque chips). I don’t remember eating these at all and yet, I have notes. Probability that this could have been a hunger-inspired fever dream: 63% These are the notes, verbatim: “I don't know if they're going for the whole fish & chip meal flavour or just "tartare" (tartare or tartar?) flavour. Wait, if this is "fish tartare" isn't that basically sushi? If it's “fish tartar” then I expect a salt & vinegar with a slight mayo-ny flavour. I am hopeful . . . I do like a good tartar sauce, but it's kind of unfeasible to eat it straight out of the jar/bottle with no accompaniment. (Well, I suppose it is, but my life hasn’t become that desperate. Yet.)

There's no tart to the tartar sauce, which is disappointing but not surprising given Calbee's tendency towards timid flavours. They don't taste fishy, even though "fish products" is part of the ingredient list (I’m a little concerned about "fish products"). They do mostly taste like tartar sauce in a roundabout way. Another ingredient is "flavour enhancer" and these chips need more of that -  unless "flavour enhancer" is something that makes tumors far more likely to occur if ingested in large quantities.”

* I feel compelled to note something that I’m sure only I care about. My last entry was full of verb tense flip-flopping and it’s driving me crazy (though not crazy enough to compel me to edit the entry). This is a result of having six-year-old notes written in the present tense (because I wrote them while eating the snacks and not after the fact). I’m picking one tense and sticking with it, and yes, it’s weird to write about something in the past as if it’s happening right the heck now but . . . . no. I don’t have an excuse. You’ll just have to live with it.

How To Fix Receding Gums?

The Fried Celery Root Sandwich and Nug Revelation (Filet no’ Fish)

I hate scrolling down through a whole long boring story just to get to a recipe so I put the recipe first. There is still a whole long boring story but it’s after the recipe if you are interested in some self indulgent shit about how this all came together.  Shout out to my friend Gary Podesto at Chez who recommended cooking celeriac whole and THEN peeling them.  Game changed.

When buying celery root for this recipe find some that are about the same size so they cook evenly.  If you want to make sandwiches with them think about what size bread/ buns you have and pick your celeriac accordingly.  

ALSO wet hand/dry hand is a technique where you do all the dry steps of the breading stage with one hand and the wet (egg wash) stage with the other hand.  If you do this everything stays clean.  If you don’t you make glue.  Up to you.

FRIED CELERY ROOT/ CELERIAC

You will need for the initial braising:

Celery Root (a medium size root will make 4-7 slices or about 10 nuggets)

Aromatics for the braising liquid (garlic, onion, herbs, black pepper, dried mushrooms)

A cooking vessel big enough to put the whole celery root in.  A lid helps but you can cover it with foil too.

Salt

For the frying stage:

AP Flour in a bowl

Whisked egg in a bowl (for vegans use ground flax mixed with water or soy milk) 

Fine bread crumbs in a bowl (panko works great)

Salt

Sheet tray for staging all the breaded pieces

A heavy fry pan, preferably cast iron

Tongs for getting the pieces out of the fry oil

A neutral high-heat oil like peanut, grapeseed or canola.  Enough to make a 1/2 inch layer in your fry pan/ pot

Paper towels or a paper bag on a plate or sheet tray to absorb the excess oil

For serving:

Buns or bread for sandwiches.  Slaw.  Some kind of creamy sauce like remoulade or tartar or chili mayo.  Or whatever sounds good to you!

BRAISING

Turn the oven on to 300F to preheat.

Soak your celery root in water to loosen the dirt.  Rinse or spray them clean after the dirt has softened a bit.  It’s not going to all come off so don’t kill yourself.

In a pot with a lid that can fit in the oven (a casserole, dutch oven, deep hotel pan or just a pot will work) add the celery root and enough water to cover them.  Put aromatics into the water like bay, thyme branches, garlic, onion, black pepper, dried mushrooms, whatever you think will make a delicious braising liquid.  Add a generous amount of salt, the celery root can take it.   Heat it all up on the stovetop until the water is just starting to simmer.  Cover and place in the oven.  

Check periodically but basically you want to cook the celery root until a knife can pierce them easily, probably 15-25 minutes but honestly you’ll just have to check.  Depends on the size.

When done pull the celery root out of the liquid to cool.  Discard the liquid. After they have cooled a bit slip the skins off with your fingers or a paring knife.  I eat the little rooties on the bottom end of the celeriac but that’s up to you.  If you do too use the paring knife to get in-between the roots and peel the skins off.  If you don’t want to eat them they will break right off.  

Cool the celeriac before cutting.  You can put them in the fridge and fry them another time too.  When they are fully cool the super soft center will contract a bit so it’s good to wait.

FRYING

If you are making sandwiches slice the roots in half inch to inch wide slices.  To make nuggets you can break the celery root in chunks with your hands; there is a natural grain to celeriac and it will separate into cool amorphous shapes.  The extra texture will also increase surface area which helps make a crispier fry and will hold the coating better.  Let the pieces come to room temp.

Get a cookie sheet or sheet tray to hold the breaded pieces. 

Get three bowls that are wide enough to easily coat your pieces.  Put AP flour in one, eggs beaten until thin (or a vegan substitute like flax seeds blended in water or soy milk) in the second, and a third with panko bread crumbs or another light bread crumb with some added salt mixed in.  For 3 medium celery root I used about 3/4 cup of flour, 2 eggs and 1.5 cups panko with 1 teaspoon of salt mixed in.

Using the wet hand/dry hand technique at the top of this post dredge the pieces in flour to absorb the surface moisture, then coat those pieces in egg and finally panko.  Arrange them on the sheet tray.

Heat the oil in your heavy frying pan until it starts to shimmer.  If you drop a crumb of panko in the oil and it starts to sizzle it’s ready.  It may be helpful to fry one piece as a tester first to get the hang of your technique.   If you are not used to home frying I assure it’s totally safe if you keep the oil from overheating.   It should stay somewhere in the 320-340F range but it’s hard to test the temp when the oil is so shallow so I go by the sound and the way the crust is browning.  If the sizzle is too loud or violent it’s probably too hot.  If it is getting dark brown at any point the oil is probably too hot.  If the crumbs smell like burnt toast it is too hot.  You are basically just getting the pieces crispy because the celery root is already cooked and at room temp.  Be patient and be careful and you'll do just fine!

Add the pieces in batches and turn them to get an even browning.  When they are done place them on a paper towel or brown paper bag lined tray or plate.

Serve on toasted bread or buns with your favorite slaw and creamy sauce or with dipping sauces and a side of slaw or pickles.  

AND NOW: THE BORING-ASS STORY

Celery root or celeriac is a vegetable that tastes like a celery potato, looks like the squid-faced old one Cthulhu, is a pain in the ass to peel and is totally overlooked by most people.  That’s a shame, it’s delicious.  

There are two things we would make with it all the time at Chez Panisse.  Most of the Fall and Winter we would peel and cut bus tubs of celery root into slices, cook them in some salted water (sometimes with a little cream) and when tender blend them with butter and more cream into a silky puree.  We would also make celery root remoulade by peeling and matchsticking the roots, salting the shreds until they start to soften then mixing them with a mustardy-eggy dressing.  Both are delicious and I recommend them highly.  

 Last year when visiting Brooklyn, NY, however, was the first time I’ve ever had my mind blown by this unassuming vegetable.  I was trying to eat less meat and looking for places that were embracing the possibilities of veggies and heard great things about Hunky Dory in Crown Heights.  Their fried celery root sandwich was crispy, tender, flaky like a firm white fish and one of the highlights of my NYC vacay.  Sorry the photo is a bit garbage, I only took it for reference so I could make it myself eventually.  This thing is bonkers good.

 I’ve been meaning to make it for forever but now that I can’t leave the house I’ve been digging into all the projects I’ve neglected.  This is the first time I’ve made this recipe so I’m sure I will have some tweaks as I keep making it but it was pretty much a banger straight out the gate so I feel good sharing it with you all.  If you have any questions let me know.  Also, if you have and suggestions on how I could improve my recipe writing let me know as well!
