Serious Eats: ruiniste's Profile

i work near the bakery, and try to pick up one of their sandwiches (or their amazing pizzas) at least once a week. the PBM (or PMB, as i think they call it there) is out of this world. they've also got a roasted beet, goat cheese, and arugula sandwich that sometimes makes me weep with joy.

Ithaca, New York: What/Where to Eat?

definitely glenwood pines! a lovely view of the lake + their burger/fries got me through 8 years of grad school up there.

and i second louie's lunchtruck -- (ask around the cornell campus; just about any undergrad can direct you to where the truck is parked). good, solid, greasy grub. can't be beat.

enjoy the gorges!

Best bring-home food vittles from the UK?

for indian/curry/kebab -- avoid brick lane, and head a little further east to a place called new tayyab. (http://www.tayyabs.co.uk) amazing lamb kebabs, fairly inexpensive, almost always a wait .... but completely worth it. (note -- it's byob.)

Do You Have a Favorite Cheapish Olive Oil?

I was going to suggest Bertolli as well. And perhaps the Gallo ones by Unico, if you have access to them.

Vigo or other cheap Spanish oils, preferably if they're fruity.

Marca Verde -- I get it from Sur La Table. At $10/giant bottle, it's delish and great for cooking or salads.

Carapelli does it for me, but I have to say it is a bit on the fruity side which can run into some things.

I would love to see this post! Though I really am rooting it is something that I can buy at a store that doesn't make it's profits by strangling small businesses, causing civil wars, and encouraging white collar mafia behavior.

Also, "EVOO" is really annoying. I don't say "BHABM" for my Blue Honda Accord Base Model, I usually just call it a Honda or an Accord, or whatever is RELEVANT to the conversation. Is it vital that Rachel Ray uses EXTRA VIRGIN in this recipe? No? Then just say Olive Oil. Or Oil. Or whatever is actually helpful. That's all, I have to tend to my BHBEWAB(brown-haired, brown eyed wife and baby).

I have cut back on my expensive olive oil purchases this year, and have been buying Colavita extra virgin olive oil at the super market.

It happens to be excellent for everyday cooking and salad dressings.....I do miss my Frantoia from Sicily, though.

Colavita! I only started buying it because I like the shape of the bottle and the label, but it's done well for me.

I picked up a bottle of "Trader Giotto"'s Italian EVOO the other day, and it was very tasty in my salad last night.

Colavita is pretty reliable, and easy to find here in flyover country.

It may be only three more syllables, but we're typing here. EVOO is simply easier to type.

I also use Kirkland, but my mother swears by Fresh and Easy.

Stew Leonard's now puts out 3 nice Olive Oils, that i belive got for $7. Prefer the Mediterranean version the best. But the Spanish one is bad either.

More importantly can we all make a pact never to call it EVOO? It's only three more syllables to say the real name. For some reason that totally makes my skin crawl.

I could have used this analysis a few days ago! I went with Colavita I think. Probably not the best choice.

Try the Kirkland brand at Costco. Doesn't come in a quart size, but it's cheap and cheerful.

Ramen and Pork Buns from Sui Ren in Williamsburg

I think there has always been two pieces of duck breast. If you look closely at the picture, I think you can see two pieces of crispy skin. Don't miss the tuna/quail egg skewer and the maitake (hen of the woods) tempura. Mmmmm.

What Weird Family Foods Did You Grow Up Thinking Were Normal?

jello with a middle layer of sour cream, bananas and strawberries (from the freezer) - for school lunch, a scrambled egg sandwich made that morning on white bread with, yes, ketchup - pork roll and swiss cheese with relish and ketchup on english muffins for dinner - still love them all!
