Photo of the Day: Salmiakki Ice Cream
Salmiakki definitely is not for everyones taste and there are huge differences between different salmiakkis. Salty liquorice does not tell it all.
I do love deeply some of salmiakki, like Tyrkisk Peber and hate some so much I don't want anything to do with them. It's a complex delicacy. In ice cream I find it gross, but with chocolate oh so fantastic!
So, greetings from Finland :)
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Lamb, I don't really care for the ham.

If I have to eat frozen pizza, I'd definitely choose Ristorante Mozzarella.. and pimp it with some prosciutto.

Chocolate and lamb. Though I'd really like get my hands on Reese's peanut butter eggs mentioned couple of comments before.. but no can do in Finland.

Mainly I was taught by my mother, but home ec studies in age 13-15 did great job too :) I also read a lot of this subject, learning never stops.

Juustoleipä, an Excuse to Dip Cheese in Coffee
barely relevant, but i just moved to florida from upstate new york and oh my GOD, i miss my wegman's.
*tear*
Juustoleipä, an Excuse to Dip Cheese in Coffee
I like a lot of interesting flavor combinations but I'm pretty sure coffee and cheese isn't one of them.

Let's face it, Wisconsin just basically rules when it comes to cheese.
California? Happy Cows?! I think not. Jerks.

Brunkow Dairy (Darlington, Wisconsin) also makes an amazing bread cheese.
Juustoleipä, an Excuse to Dip Cheese in Coffee
It looks good but WHY dip it in coffee?
Juustoleipä, an Excuse to Dip Cheese in Coffee
Oooooh, squeaky cheese! No one ever believes me that it actually does squeak when you eat it. I didn't think they had it around here. I'll have to hit up Wegmans the next time I'm all the way upstate. Maybe I should make a trip just for that... My people rock. Go Finns!
Juustoleipä, an Excuse to Dip Cheese in Coffee
This is what we actually eat in Finland. It is good in coffee but even better if you fry it in butter and eat with some jam (cloudberry is traditional but a bit hard to come by). Some add cream and let it simmer before serving it with some fresh berries.
Juustoleipä, an Excuse to Dip Cheese in Coffee
Yeah it is the same kind Trader Joe's just sent out the ad about. I remembered reading "bread cheese" and I think it was about 4 bucks cheaper per pound!

I had a sample at Wegman's, and they topped it with pesto and a tomato salsa. Good stuff!
What's Your Take on Cake Ice Cream?
Reading these comments has been interesting. When it's all said and done, it comes down to personal preference. I love Cold Stone’s Cake batter ice cream with extra cookie dough mixed in. You’re right a70wilson that is key! So far, nothing in a local grocery store has come close to replicate the taste. I’m scared to try Ben & Jerry’s version.. Too many nay sayers. My research continues!

@jammarita: Thanks for the info! I definitely do not want the hate-worthy stuff.
What's Your Take on Cake Ice Cream?
I saw this in the ice cream section at the local market but haven't had the nerve to buy it. I do heartily wish they would bring back Half-and-Half, a swirl of dark chocolate ice cream and stout ice cream. Now THAT was some smooth "comforting" after a ragged week.
What's Your Take on Cake Ice Cream?
I have not had this, but I tried Maggie Moos cake batter ice cream and loved it! I've seen cake batter flavored ice creams at the store, but they always have stuff added in. I DON'T want frosting, sprinkles, or chunks, just the creamy-smooth sensation of licking the bowl. Sadly, Maggie Moos closed down all stores in the area, so I can't get it anymore.
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
We had Pork Roast.
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Neither. Sort of. We're having a pork roast. Cuban-style, which for some reason we call peegleeg. With black beans and rice. And plantains. Boy, are the inlaws going to be surprised. hehe.
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Ham and a standing rib roast.
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Even if I celebrated Easter and served one of these, I wouldn't want to after seeing these pictures of the animals! Jeez, way to make us feel like barbarians :)

What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Thursday I picked up an absolutely gorgeous semi-boneless leg of lamb. It's even free-range!!
Unfortunately, I had to stuff it into the freezer because our primary Easter dish will be a spiral ham. (On which I will nibble - enough so as to not draw attention to myself - while I concentrate on the many delicious side dishes instead. So while the rest of the family happily eats and enjoys the ham, I will be enjoying an assortment of cheeses, asparagus w/ Hollandaise sauce, steamed carrots, scalloped potatoes, and homemade applesauce.)
PS: @erikkaa - are you able to share, or is your "amazing... and... insanely delicious" lamb recipe a deep dark family secret?
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Neither - I don't eat pork because (IMHO) pigs are treated so poorly and I don't eat lamb because my Dad always called my Mom Lambie when I was a kid. It seems wrong. :) We are having a turkey.
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Lamb. My sister is obsessed with a recipe that I make with it and has specially requested lamb for the family Easter dinner. I can't say I'm upset, it is an amazing recipe and is insanely delicious!
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Tofu!
Why did you guys pick the cutest animal pictures ever? Easter guilt?
What's on Your Easter Menu: Ham or Lamb?
Ham...... with a cripsy glaze. Match that up with homemade macaroni and cheese and green beans with roasted corn topped with parm regg and romano cheese. Yum!
'Top Chef' Contestant Fabio Viviani Spokesman for New Frozen Pizza Line
these are easily the best frozen pizza I have access to in supermarkets here in The Netherlands. And at €2,20 (=$2,80), they ain't exactly expensive either. They make quite a few. I'd link to the list if the website wasn't so crappy, but here are the Ristorante versions:
Ristorante Bolognese
Ristorante Calzone Speciale
Ristorante Funghi
Ristorante Hawaii
Ristorante Mozzarella
Ristorante Pasta
Ristorante Pepperoni Salame Piccante (tip!)
Ristorante Pollo
Ristorante Formaggi & Pomodori
Ristorante Prosciutto
Ristorante Quattro Formaggi
Ristorante Quattro Stagioni
Ristorante Salame
Ristorante Spinaci
Ristorante Tonno
Ristorante Vegetale
