Do Lawtalkers Dream of Electric Sheep?

It sounds, as dtb would say, delish.

But is there any type of non-wild boar? Is that a redundancy along the lines of assless chaps?

I had to wrestle the boar and kill it before I ate it. It was a little wild.

It was like a sauce with many pieces of wild boar. I am a fan of game, and have had boar before, and so I thought I would like it. Which I did.

That's how I should have prepared the wild boar I killed with my bare hands in Minnesota. Instead, I ate it raw, which resulted in significant amounts of blood and entrails in my thick chest hair.

Those are fine potatoes, what with the garlic and cheese run through them, but you just like them because they're terribly fatty. The taste isn't half as complex and rich as the meat or fish entree." My mother makes mashed potatos every holiday and everyone raves about them and I sit there, seething, wondering why. It's just a bowl of heavy, fatty cheese. Of course that tastes good, but it's not rave worthy. Not in my book. And that's why I have never and will never compliment the woman on those potatos. It's not deserved.

When she makes a good tenderloin, I give her props.

Sebby, if you sit seething because someone complimented your mother on her mashed potatoes, you seriously need to unwind or your head is going to pop off your neck someday.

Here's a clue: sometimes people give effusive compliments to a cook for making something tasty for the simple reason that the cook spent time and energy making the tasty dish for them. It is as much an acknowledgment of the effort as the result. Anytime someone** makes you a meal, you should find something to compliment. They deserve it even if it isn't the best thing you've ever eaten because they made it for you.

And a rave on the mashed potatoes simply means they like the taste of them, even if they are just a bowl of heavy fatty cheese. Why that should make you seethe is beyond comprehension. My SIL makes a cheesy pineapple side dish that I don't particularly like but several in the family enjoy. It doesn't bother me at all when they compliment her on those. I just compliment her on something I do find tasty.

Sebby. You. Need. To. Lighten. Up. Seriously.

**Non-restaurant. You can save compliments to a restaurant chef for truly amazing food.

i had it at Ann's. i think you need to go to a truckstop-like place. i don't think the swank place Rt linked or your house is really where you should try it.

Ouisie's isn't necessarily swank, just really, really good. I can't imagine that Wonk doesn't know of it. It's been around for at least 30 years.

I have hundreds of backup CFS recs if that one doesn't work out, and the Houston Press dedicated an issue on the subject with the top 25 in the state that Robb Walsh could find. Talk about an contentious letters section the next issue.

Wilder than the animal sex you've been having?

Oh, the sex is exponentially wilder.

Yes, but you are Minnesota-nice. Sebby keeps it real, Philly-style. I gather that involves seething.

did you ever go over a friend's house to eat, and the food just ain't no good? I mean the macaroni's soggy, the peas is mushed and the chicken tastes like wood?

Just FYI -- Not Bob already referenced those lyrics in a subject line today. Not that you would have noticed since Not Bob is pretty much the only one who still reads the subject lines. But FYI.

Fortunately no terrible cooks have ever invited me over for dinner. If that ever happens I'll have to tap into my inner BRC and find something nice to say. Or my Minnesota nice. Something like "Well, bless your heart, you worked so hard on this meal."

And then remember to avoid future invitations!
