Re: [Utah-astronomy] Salt Lake Gastronomical Society
Allowed? Absolutely everybody is not just allowed, but encouraged to come. There's just one rule: if you can't appreciate the finer thing of life (i.e., L&O), don't look for sympathy from those of us who can, and don't gag and complain about it like a certain lovely woman would. We connoisseurs want a chance to enjoy our treat fully. -- 2nd subassistant cruise director Bau. --- On Sat, 5/30/09, Kim <kimharch@cut.net> wrote: From: Kim <kimharch@cut.net> Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Salt Lake Gastronomical Society To: "'Utah Astronomy'" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Date: Saturday, May 30, 2009, 6:58 PM At the risk of offending... Liver and onions have always tasted to me like grilled mud. And yes, I've tried numerous home recipes: "Oh, you've never had liver and onions like I prepare them - you'll love it!" Still comes out grilled mud. The only time I was glad to have liver was on a 30-day-long desert survival trip. We butchered a sheep, and no one else wanted the liver, so a guy from Korea and I claimed it. We did add onions (wild onions, I think) and on that occasion I was glad to have it. (Extreme hunger does funny things to your palate.) However, even on that occasion it was still MUD. So, if I'm allowed to join y'all at Lamb's, I'll order the haddock.

2nd subassistant cruise director Bau (Acronym: 2SCDB) has spoken. Kim, you simply must be there! But, his rule stands: No disparagement of the L&O. We've organized this specifically to enjoy this treat without the usual theatrical accompaniment of our spouses. Funny how hunger in the wilderness can make a Cup O'Noodles taste like the most delicious thing one has ever ingested!
Hey, Chuck - I never disparage what others eat. After all, I've eaten roasted grasshoppers, snails (the French make them sound exotic by calling them escargot, but they're still snails), rattlesnake, and a number of dishes in Italy that I shudder to recall. So I will quietly eat my haddock and let y'all enjoy your liver. Just don't order head cheese or tripe. My favorite backpacking meal is mac and cheese with tuna and sautéed onions and celery. However, I've also been grateful for mre's that tasted like cardboard.

Head cheese and tripe. Those are right up there with tongue, eel pie, and haggis. Pass. On Sun, May 31, 2009 at 4:58 PM, Kim <kimharch@cut.net> wrote:
