Long Island Leprechaun Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 You guys all realize of course that Metcalf is Italian. And for those not in the know, Ranch is all the rage among the nouveau chefs of Milano. It's called Cremoso Italiano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peace Frog Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 6 hours ago, 68JET11 said: Any self respecting Italian who uses parmigian should be shot.... It's pecorino romano thank you lol... sorry thought you were talking parmesan cheese lol... This is untrue. Parmigiano Reggiano is the Coppo di tuti Coppo of Italian cheeses but it is true based upon the region and the dish, pecorino Romano is the choice. Parm is from the Parma region in Emilio Romana so it’s all you will see in northern Tuscany and regions north. Pecorino Romano is from Rome, Sardinia and southern Tuscany and is typically used in the south. I’ll use parm Reggiano on meat sauces and steaks as it is not as salty, pecorino Romano on marinaras and carbonara and cacio de Pepi. 5 hours ago, 68JET11 said: Try Sweet Soppressata you'll never eat Salami again. Sweet Soppressata/Fresh Mozz, Lettuce Onion, Tomato oil/vinegar on a hogie roll... make sure the fresh mozz is on the top of the sandwich, then put it under a low broiler heat... Wait for the mozz, to start to melt take the sandwhich out, then feast. This is true. Not a salami fan, love supersod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Todd, Ken OBrien, Chad Pennington, Mark Sanchez, Genope, Sam Darnold ... Check the movie thread in the Lounge. We’ve been binging multiple TV series so haven’t been watching many movies lately. I don’t think we’ve seen a good one in months, can’t remember the last great one we saw. Maybe Stuber for laughs?

They go to this big fancy dinner and Pauley is pissed off that he can’t get any macaroni with gravy. Paulie Walnuts kept saying “Commandatore” and that one old dude was pissed at Americans because a fighter jet clipped a ski lift gondola killing some Italians. Was a great story arc. Tony also met that hot Italian chick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm one of those people that if you put it in front of me, I will eat it or at least taste it. Never could figure out why people are grossed out by snails, they are great with garlic and oil. I really do prefer it grilled and plenty of people have tried it with me and told me they will never order it fried again. Escargot on a slice of crusty itslian bread is awesome. And very easy to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you dude, I only dip my wings in blue cheese, and even with my wings I don't always eat them with blue cheese. Perhaps I'll go to Acropolis Pizza some night soon and see if what you claim is really a thing. Acropolis pizza isn’t great but their cheese steaks are awesome. The original Acropolis was on Wescott Street, closed and move to M Street in the spot that used to be called Gino and Joes. We used to call it Vagina and Joes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re actually commenting on the average American palate - which is largely informed by means and access. We raise generations in mass produced bread and cheese. What can you expect? The South has tiers of cuisine. Just like any other part of the country. Yeah I see your point there. My in laws are from upstate NY and grew up in the 40s and 50s. They are truly sweet people, but from a food standpoint, they are simpletons. It isn't their fault. They grew up in a time when the only food available was Wonder Bread and government cheese. They simply don't know any better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we missed out on Christmas Eve in 2020 because several family members got COVID. Thankfully everyone was healthy last month, and we were able to have it again. For me, Christmas Eve was always the actual holiday. On Christmas Day we just sit at home in our pajamas and drink while the kids play with their toys.

Made lasagna for Christmas Eve and the most expensive Chateaubriand ever for Christmas. And lots of wine. Hooefully this year we’re back to normal.
