Comment on Orange You Glad You Stopped by val

Hard to tell, Scott, but it looks like if Orange World was a whole orange instead of an inverted half it would be at least as big as Gibeau. Did they have a blended drink or just OJ?

Oh my! There is a place exactly like this in Kissimmee, Florida! It’s called Orange World and I have some serious fond memories of this place as a kid! http://www.orangeworld192.com/about-us

Gary, the curing might be endurable, but not sure you’d want to undergo smoking and steaming. Then again, depends on your interpretation of those verbs. Glad you enjoyed the article…

Great post. You’ve got my mouth watering. My boyfriend is sitting with me at the table and I asked him, “Would you like it if I cured my own meat?” and he replied, “Cured it from what.” Ba-duh dum.

Imagine how stuffed I got researching the article! Locally, if you haven’t done fōnuts yet, you should try them. Might have to break open the piggy bank, though.

Thanks, Gary. I thought the blackboard concept was cool, too, but then I thought of the poor soul who has to update it daily. It takes me back to grade school, too, when someone in the class was assigned to go outside and “de-chalk” the big felt erasers; we did this by hurling them at the side of the brick building. I doubt they do that at Joe Beef…

Great posts and pics as usual. There’s something about a chalkboard menu that just lights me up. Maybe it takes me back to grade school? Not sure. And hey, I love your site’s new look!

Thanks, Michael. Chef Yenbamroong and Night+Market have me rethinking Thai cuisine – it’s hard to go back to what Americans have gotten used to as representative.

I can respect that, but then I think how intelligent pigs are and yet they still end up on our plate for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Perhaps if a millennium or so ago people kept chickens as pets and raised iguana for food the shoe would be on the other foot?

Having known several of these wonderful creatures (iguanas) as loving intelligent pets, I could never eat one, even though I know people have been eating them for thousands of years. Count me out of this iggy dinner party.

Thanks, Gary. Took about a week of my life just writing it – I think I may have gotten carried away. Think I’ll go have a doughnut…

The donuts at Kane’s are some of the best “traditional” donuts I’ve had, and they have a huge variety. DDs may have them over a barrel in the coffee department, but Kane’s can certainly attribute their longevity to quality and taste.

I have been to Kane’s several times and you can’t beat their freshness and home made taste. They are surrounded by Dunkin’s like Custer’s last stand but Kane’s still wins hands down. Great donut, can’t wait to get back to Saugus

Comment on O What A Glorious Sicht by val

Here in the states it’s not as sturdy since the U.S.D.A. doesn’t allow the use of the “lights” (lung), but it’s still earthy and rich. Probably a good entry-level point; even better is the British ex-pat in Santa Barbara, California who opened a chippy serving deep-fried, homemade haggis (http://www.trippyfood.com/2011/12/28/let-the-chips-fall-where-they-may/) – mighty tasty! I’m sure you could handle that one!

I enjoy a good haggis; unfortunately here in the States it’s not as sturdy (the U.S.D.A. doesn’t allow the use of the “lights” (lung), but it’s still earthy and rich. I recently posted an article on a British ex-pat in Santa Barbara, California who opened a chippy that serves deep-fried, homemade haggis (http://www.trippyfood.com/2011/12/28/let-the-chips-fall-where-they-may/) – mighty tasty!

What a compelling story… Megan is a true survivor, although I just have to frown at the medical industry today. Unfortunately, they are in the business of keeping people sick. I hope someday I will get to try these smoothies soon.
