Yuck. Â I got into some trouble with my sister in law's parents not eating the brussel sprouts she made at some dinner we the family were with at her and my brother's at their house. Â Â I think they thought it was just rude. Â Â Her father said something about how their son had learned to eat so much and I asked how and he said because of his girlfriend and I got a bit sensitive that he was trying to imply multiple things by that comment. Â Hmmm...
Mussels in chocolate. You flinch? But that’s only because you are gastronomically unadventurous. Your Saturday evening visits to the Koh-i-Noor Balti House do not count. These days conveyor-belt curry is as safe a taste as Mozart.
I can thoroughly recommend Cooking With Fernet Branca, a satire that is as viciously incisive as it is hilarious, where food becomes an offensive weapon. I read it annually as a foil against pretensions.
That reminds me. I must start the sprouts cooking for Christmas dinner.
Why can't 2020 be like that bad season of Dallas where it was just a bad dream and the next season picked up where the season before left off?
