what's the biggest meal you have ever eaten?
Probably, as someone else said, Christmas Eve's seven fishes! My biggest and certainly my favorite meal of the year.
Cocktails and Spirits with Paul Clarke: Is the Customer Always Right?
@enygmaone, yes, but the difference is--while a bartender at a neighborhood sports bar won't necessarily know how to make a good Blue Blazer even if they had the ingrediants, a bartender at a craft cocktail bar should CERTAINLY know how to make a good gin and tonic. And they surely have the ingrediants for it.
If someone orders a jagerbomb etc and they don't have the ingrediants for it, then they don't have the ingrediants for it. That's different. I don't think that a bar should have to stock every liquor in the world if that's not their goal...but if they have the ingrediants, just pour the damn drink!
How They Eat at the Jersey Shore
Whatever. I'm of Italian-American descent, from Staten Island (like several of the cast members)...I go back and forth on my feelings on this. On the one hand, nobody is forcing these kids to act this way--this IS the way they act. I'm 25 years old, and with my background and where I'm from, trust me, I know LOADS of people who could be on this show.
These people exist, whether you like it or not. Not every Italian is like this, obviously--if someone is stupid enough to think that, then that's there dumb fault.
But really, what's the big deal? They're just a bunch of 20 somethings who like to party. It's basically and Italian version of the Real World. So what, let it go.
And yes, I do watch the show. And I love that they show them cooking and eating together, which is such a large part of our heritage. I'm very proud of that.
