how do you cook it? I could never duplicate the one we had in France.


That's always a tough one, trying to duplicate something you've had at a memorable meal in a great place. I've made it using a recipe from a little cookbook I got years ago and it turned out pretty good, but alas I can't duplicate my favorite either, which comes from Sirinos in Escondido of all places.
Now that looks interesting, steak is my favorite as well, I will have to try this little twist to it. I just had a new dessert move into my other food group #1 slot, Vino Me's wifes recipe is awesome!http://winodepot.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=2917

Using the root of the cilantro adds an interesting kick. If memory serves me right, this is a Korean thing.

well,
at least there is a silver lining in it-
it forces us to visit our memorable places again and again.

Are you in NYC now? If so, let me know. I'll tell you the ideal meal to order there. Bring a bottle of Champagne with you.


Board-O-

I arrive Monday AM- and as far as Champagne- I am there to meet with the importer who handles all of Terry Theise's estate grown Champagnes-

The pairing is kismet-

I appreciate all suggestions-

Exotic taste!

On a side note, I have issues with tuna being called chicken of the sea. The comparisson is so obviously flawed! Swordfish is chicken of the sea, not tuna! Tuna is turkey of the sea... anchovies are quails of the sea, swordfish is chicken, salmon is duck.

p.s. I haven't classified the red snapper yet, waiting for some data from Fish and Game.

Sit upstairs if possible. The dumplings are better upstairs and the soup downstairs, but either place is great. Be sure to ask for chili sauce to add some heat to each dish.

Roast pork wonton soup- get a large one. This will change your mind about wonton soup.

Steamed dumplings- you're gonna love 'em

Shrimp with lobster sauce and young chow fried rice- or-
Shrimp with lobster sauce over broad noodles (My preference is for the latter.)

Beef with scallions

You won't need much money. Smile
Hey T, how often do you eat it? Do I have to bake it or roast it? What if I put cheese on top, would it make me even smarter? What about a refreshing salmon milkshake before going jogging? I have a blender you know, and I know how to use it. Will Sweet Melissa's brussel sprouts be a good side dish? And how do you cook bacon? Do you think if i microwave bacon it will be crispy? I don't eat that much bacon, I am on a diet. Can I substitute low carb pizza for bacon? Your thoughts, you should have some.
The test I applied was if I was sitting in my favourite restaurant and everything possible was on the menu, and I had appropriate wine match for each dish - what would I choose:
My list
1) Venison
2) Duck
3) Rabbit
4) Field mushrooms (must include morels and chantarelles)

If I was cooking it myself:
1) Lamb
2) Chicken (corn fed, free range only)
3) Venison
4) Duck

As for how I would have it, that's just getting messy and my brain would explode if I had to think that hard.
