@boobird FREE KENJI -- your idea could be a T-Shirt. Maybe with a suitable graphic and a SE logo somewhere on it to make money for the brand.

This sounds fantastic! Thanks for posting this -- must try.

Thanks for the head-nod to Stubb's, regardless of the chipotle chewout and changed recipe mystery. Have now come across a homemade sauce being marketed out of a ranch (yep, a real one) in AZ that has inspired me, along with this article, to develop my own. Mine will have chipotle :)

Thanks for this hat-tip to the great institution, "Imbiss."

@maztec If you're going to "Geeze" an earnest and honest post, perhaps you would be willing to research the story behind not eating the casing and post that to SE, vice asking Steen to do it for you. Geeze.

There has been a rash of comments to posts on SE criticizing the authors' endeavours. It is becoming rather tiresome.

More great writing tha--- uh-oh: "chili" vs "chile" comment war in 3, 2, 1...

Toll! I grew up in Bavaria in the 1960s and the adults never talked to us kids about those black forest-dweller heathens to the west, or their devious non-Bavarian eats. Not 'til 1995 did I lived in Baden-Württemberg -- and what an eye-opener! The border over there really ought to be extended; there is a whole culture, and associated food, encompassing four countries that everyone ought to know more about. And the countryside is spectacular.

Recipe sounds great, but what is the weight of 2 sticks of butter? 'Cause sticks come in different sizes... I'd like to try this but don't want to over-butter here. Thanks!

Quick! Like McDo, only worse. But it really is quick, as compared by normal Brussels service speed.

@J. Kenji Lopez-Alt: Ouch. I have two Berlin albums and am a life-long German football fan. "Über-cheesy:" heh.

You are all too hard on Galloway of Noon. Blurdo knows it: Speck and eggs make the dish, in Schwabenland as in Austria. This was not as common as bread, cold cuts, cheese, jam, butter and coffee, but was served at home and at Restos. So the exchange students never got Rösti? The worse for them, but who really cares? I thought exchange students didn't get up until 1400 anyway, and then to stumble over their Romansch or Italian lessons on the way to getting liquored up on their parents' dime in some quaint dive in Zurich that smelt of Olde Europe. It really was about the stories to be told later, and not the cultural immersion, wasn't it? Or so I hear about the value of exchange programmes, Rösti-heads.

They mostly serve Chihuahuan style in El Paso, but one place, Tacos Santa Cecilia, occupying what looks to be a 1970s era Dennys restaurant building, has a spit over coals for al pastor. Priceless.

@ShowMeFood: yawn. Easy on the attack, how good are you on the defense?
