What's your favorite peanut butter-based savory recipe?
I've had sesame noodles and kare kare, an oxtail stew with a peanut broth. Does anyone else have a non-dessert recipe that calls for peanut butter?

What to do with that pink meat?
No, not SPAM -- this time, I'm talking about corned beef. Can you do anything else with it besides boil it with cabbage and potatoes?
Where to eat in Austin around 6th Street?
...in town for SXSW and was pretty disappointed by Chowhound's recommendations. I'm sure you serious eaters can do better! Please help me out!
Best affordable antidotes for the winter chill?
I'm looking for suggestions for your favorite soup takeout, places that serve good hot sake, tea shops, vendors that serve hot tofu with syrup -- anything hot, satisfying and affordable -- in NYC?
Alright. Do people really hate fruitcake?
I love the dense, bread-like kind, not too soused and not too weighed-down with fruit or nuts. Is there a place in the NY or online/mail order where I can get the bread-like variety? Or maybe you have a good recipe?

Oh ediTAble. I thought it said edible and got really excited :(
Good place to eat--healty--near Imperial Theater?
For asian vegetarian, there's Zen Palate on 663 Ninth Ave. (at 46th St), New York, NY 10036. I find that even non-vegetarians enjoy their menu.
Interesting food combinations
The fish thing chocolate porridge doesn't sound so good...kinda like those fish ice creams they have on iron chef every now and then. I have had chocolate covered potato chips from the terminal market in Philly (can't remember the store name) and they were good! I've also had a Japanese snack of little fish (anchovies?) in a sweet-salty-spicy glaze and I liked them too!
Little hunks of cream cheese or farmer's cheese in vanilla ice cream also works. It just tastes like gobs of slightly salty cream in ice cream that seems to work well for me.

It's funny what they consider chubby in Asia :D

An 8-year old served foie gras at a party! That's a serious eater! Now why don't they serve that at Chucky Cheese?

OMG, I just read the comment above! Could we be related?
Question of the Day: What's your favorite candy bar?
Zero -- though I can't seem to find them in the stores anymore.
Cookbook Giveaway: 'A Twist of the Wrist'
My favorite canned good: smoked oysters. I can add it to practically anything that may be in the fridge at the time, toss it in a little pasta and I have a luxurious quick meal. My favorite combination, however, is with garlic slivers, red pepper flakes and a tablespoon of capers (my favorite bottled item).
Then there's mallomars, my favorite packaged item. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to combine it with anything that I've cooked.
Eating "well" with a 3 YR old in NYC. Your suggestions...
What about dim sum? I loved it as a kid because everything came in little baby plates and I particularly enjoyed anything shaped into a ball. Maybe try Jin Fong or Sweet n Tart in Chinatown or Chinatown Basserie for more grown-up dim sum.

What childhood food do you wish they still made?
You can go to fizzies.com and order any flavor you like! My favorite is cherry or grape. By the case for $12 or 15 - I can't remember. But what I miss the most are those giant Charms lollipops - I was proposed to with a handful of Charms Cherry because I was always seen with one stuck in my mouth! I was in the Army and they were at the ice cream store on base and one day an officer said I should at least take the sucker out of my mouth with I salute!
What childhood food do you wish they still made?
I LOVED ninja turtle pudding pies!!! and gadorade gum, jello pudding pops, Mcdonalds FRIED apple pies, Bonkers candy, Ecto cooler, grasshopper cookies, ... i wish i could remember more!!!
What's the one food you just won't eat?
Oh god. There really are a lot of things I will not eat. There is not just one. But, here are a few:
~Roasted Peppers - I will not eat them or anything they touch. AWFUL
~Mushrooms
~Asparagus
~Water Chestnuts
~FISH (but I do eat the Shellfish family-MMMM)
~Anything that has nuts in it. Hate it when people put nuts in bownies! No. This ruins the taste. But man, do I love nuts by themselves.
~Miracle Whip
I could go on, but I will stop here...
What's the one food you just won't eat?
it's a very very...very long list... it's probably quicker/easier to list what I will eat.
One thing I absolutely refuse to pick around is mushrooms, if anything has mushrooms in it, I would rather starve than consume.... it's tainted.
What's the one food you just won't eat?
W. Who wants to eat anill eat bananas and pineapple and peaches; but nothing with them as an ingredient.
I too, try to stay away from organs (except liver.) Oh, and lima beans.
Crabs have brains large enough to extract and serve?!?
What's the one food you just won't eat?
Fish. Fish sauce. Anything remotely fishy.
Also, I HATE runny egg yolks, they remind me of mucous.
What's the one food you just won't eat?
Beets and turnips. Can't get around the metallic taste either. Used to hate brussels sprouts, but found a way to make them yummy (roast them!).
As to the "sea urchin roe" detester, I can guarantee you have never tasted nor even seen sea urchin roe. Uni, which is the food that comes from the sea urchin is, in fact, gonads. When you order sea urchin in a sushi restaurant, you are getting the testicles from the hermaphroditic aquatic hedgehog. But I know what you mean. Uni is not my favorite either. Nor are crab brains, which I was served many times when I lived in Japan. For that matter, any kind of brains--sweatbreads from cattle, etc.
Back to gonads. There's a lovely restaurant in Oklahoma City, OK called Cattlemen's. They serve a dish called "lamb fries." We ordered it and ate it up with relish without knowing it was, you guessed it, lamb testicles. All I can say is they were incredibly tender and tasty.
Are most foodies fatties?
Personally, I'm almost 15lbs overweight at 145. The last 5 came on when I started dating chef BF. But damn, I am so freakin' happy. Totally worth it.
