Cook the Book: 'Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Book'
Eastern NC whole hog wood smoked Q - especially the place in Goldsboro - sorry I'm having a senior moment and can't remember its name.
What Fictional Foods Do You Wish Were Real?
The Shmoo from Al Capp's comic strip, Lil' Abner. "The unusual creature loved humans. A Shmoo laid eggs and bottles of Grade A milk in an instant, and would gladly die and change itself into a sizzling steak if its owner merely looked at it hungrily. Its skin was fine leather, its eyes made perfect buttons and even its whiskers made excellent toothpicks. Shmoos multiplied much faster than rabbits, so owning a pair of Shmoos meant that any family was self-sufficient."

Cook the Book: 'Zingerman's Guide to Better Bacon'
Because it reminds me of my childhood when everything tasted better. Why you may ask? Because my mother kept a small coffee can of bacon fat that she used for fried foods. That's why.

Talking Sausages....
It is a perfect food, one of three upon which civilization rests, the other two being bread and beer. Some of the best sausages I have eaten were in Germany. You can get good ones almost anywhere in the country. I especially remember the ones at the Nurburgring race track in the Eifel mountains north of the Mosel River. Delicious wursts served with a hard roll and a dollop of mustard. Add a good German beer and the throaty exhaust note of race cars - heaven. The best sausages I have eaten here in the US are made by Bavarian Meats in Seattle's Pike Place Market. As good at the ones in Germany.

I love almost burned bacon because of the crispiness and saltiness. It also goes soooo well with over-easy eggs and buttered toast. It's so perfect!
