Unusual foods for lunch or dinner

far too much time on your hands, young man!

Back to unusual cuisine: I remember seeing "Herring Ice Cream" when I was in Sweden. Of course, I didn't try it.

Just the though of it ... bllecchhh

Certainly you don think I actually made that, do you? I found it online.

Margaret, choco snails are great, huh? I'll bet you've had the Belgian kind, yum. But even escargot is yummy. I've been eating them since I was in 7th grade. If you like mushrooms, then you'd like 'em.

^^ I've had escargots one time; butter and garlic, as I recall. It was very good. It was rather like mushrooms... Gosh, that was ages ago.

Critters a la mode....mmmmmmmmmm. Maybe I should have made something like that when Rojo came over for dinner last night. The weather the previous few days had been rather cool so I thought I would make some hearty stew type meal. As luck would have it, after I had decided to make this certain dish (beef with carrot, I believe I posted the recipe last year) the weather turned HOT and humid. So it was one of those rare times to use the air conditioners. But the cold shrimp cocktail was good, so was the stew, too, I was just unhappy that the weather didn't cooperate and compliment the dish. Ah well, at least the Opera cake was pretty yummy (if you care for a chocolate overdose...which we all seemed to enjoy).

Erm, I think I'd rather the delicious stew you made, thanks. I always enjoy shrimp as well. And anyone who serves dessert (especially anything with chocolate in it,) is in my good books. Stupid weather here never cooperates, btw.

Thanks for coming Robin and I hope we can do it again.

Thank you, Stephen. And yes, I certainly hope so.

Stephen - I'm insanely jealous that you and Robin have met. I mean, Sydney is not THAT far from you guys!! (drat).

You're both lovely people, at least that's my opinion based on the fact that I only really know you by reading your erudite eruptions here.

Aw, that's sweet to say, CT64. Well, some day you'll come to Montreal, right?

Anyway, you and Turwethiel are in the same vicinity, so...

I expect the snail chocolates were Belgian, never had Escargots but I do like mushrooms.

Here is something unusual, but not for us.

Mum used to give her dog "Frosty Paws" which is along the same line.

I have never heard of "Frosty Paws" I bet the dog liked it though.
