Andouillette. Tripe sausage which smells - and tastes - like the part of the pig it comes from...
Love Song to a Hand Blender
My Braun has been a faithful friend for years. Nothing better for making vats of soup in the winter!
What food and/or wine related print magazines do you read?
I have an on-off relationship with Gourmet. Sometimes I love it. Sometimes I find the 3-1 ratio of adverts to actual content really frustrating! From a UK perspective the Food Monthly in Sunday's Observer newspaper is a must!
Question of the Day: What one ingredient do you never skimp on?

Scotch Egg
Ah, Scotch Eggs... At the heart of any British picnic, huddled together for warmth on a tartan travelling rug, around a hamper.
What's for dinner on Easter? Are you cooking?
Going out for big family meal to the Sheraton in Edinburgh. They do a great buffet and, if the kids can take a break from stuffing themselves with chocolate eggs, there's a magician too!
What would be your favorite items to find on a Brunch menu?

Question of the Day: What's your earliest food-related memory?

Cannot reconcile desire to eat burger with...desire to avoid heart attacks...
What's your favorite kitchen sound?
The sound of the dishwasher, followed by the pop of a wine bottle opening. That means the kitchen is clean and we're ready to go outside and relax on the deck by the lake.
What's your favorite kitchen sound?
I love the sound of ice tinkering in a glass, the sound sauce makes as you pour it over a hot stir fry, and the perfect sound of a really sharp knife chopping vegetables on an old wooden chopping block.

What's your favorite kitchen sound?
I agree with Livingtoeat: The soft bubbling of a pasta sauce that's been simmering all day.
What's your favorite kitchen sound?
Onions sizzling in a pan. The sound as they first hit the hot oil--wow! Of course, it could be the smell that aids the sense of hearing. ANything sizzling sounds good to me--such a great onomatopoetic word!
What's your favorite kitchen sound?
As Julia put it, the "quiet cooking noises" of a roasting chicken. Also, the squeaky mushrooms in the skillet, as L'Ecole mentioned. And the gurgle and hiss of the coffee maker when the coffee's just about done.

That pop, squeal then sizzle when one of my homemade sausages bursts slightly on the grill.
