Is it glazed?

@hmw0029 is 'wild yeast' just sourdough? or is it a pun on bread made in the shape of (wild) animals?

In the UK the word 'grill' refers the broiler in the oven, and it's often used to make toasted cheese sandwiches and cook other stuff you might do in an outdoor grill. I have made naan under the grill and it works quite well, though you do have to watch out for the smoke alarm.

@Kazb0t - yes, jealous! :)

Tapioca - now that is a taste from childhood! (Not with coffee, though that also sounds good.)

It's illegal to bleach flour here in the UK, where I've done most of my bread-baking, so I've never missed it and, in general, am happy to bake with the ingredients bakers have used for centuries. And my dough is just fine, thanks; I make pizza with a bit of sourdough starter and retard it in the fridge for a few days (a la Kenji), which makes a lovely, manageable dough. All you have to do is plan a bit.

Fresh angel hair pasta, lemon zest, barely cooked shrimp or scallops and creme fraiche, topped with minced chives and salmon roe. You're welcome. :)

I'm from Boston, and lobster rolls - such a rare treat - are one of the many things I miss living in the UK. For my partner's birthday in a few weeks I'm going to splurge on some Cornish lobsters and make them from scratch, including the hot-dog rolls. He doesn't quite understand shelling out more 15 bucks for a sandwich that can - if you're not careful - be inhaled in 45 seconds, but I'm hoping to change that.

Was Sacco's there around, um, 1990? 'Cause I think I threw my back out there - yes, candlepin bowling.

One of the best things I ever ate was a large, freshly fried flour - mostly soft, not crunchy - tortilla with turkey, green salsa, and lettuce. It was in a bar in a tiny village in Northern New Mexico. I also like *flat* tostadas. But those pre-made crispy corn taco shells? Even outside of the fact that they're mostly an American Tex-Mex supermarket nostalgia thing, they are pretty gross.

Judging from the colors I'm pretty sure that stuff is actually shower gel.

Oh, God. These are at the root of major drinking problems among British youth. Well, that and the generic supermarket cider you can get in a 2L bottle for less than the price of water. :-(

@rps - I lived close to Bethesda for years, and completely agree with what you wrote. Plus there are lots of quite mediocre ethnic places that really should have closed years and years ago. Bethesda has very little edge. Agree about this pizza place, though, looks good.

What do you mean by 'well deserved'? Does anyone edit this website?
