Eating Until You Pop!

I am sure there are many more refined than I, but nothing beats deep dish Chicago pizza. It's a feast anytime, no side dishes needed.

I don't know; for pure pig out food, it's hard to beat pizza, from deep dish to thin.

The more refined I am feeling, the less I want to pig out.

Homemade noodles over mashed potatos is my weakness. Can't get enough at Thanksgiving, Christmas, or for that matter other times of the year when the family gets together.

Hoppy beer, with unlimited cheese, nuts, fruit, salumi, various crackers (totally optional), and chutneys. I've been to pubs that refer to this as a Ploughman's board. It is THE comfort food for me.

A close second is a big breakfast buffet, strong coffee, and bloody marys. There is a place near my home that has Saturday and Sunday "Bloody Mary Bar" - it's basically a Salad Bar for your Bloody Mary, you order a large glass of ice and vodka, go to the bar, and make it your way.

St. Paddy's Day = Corned beef, cabbage, taters, and Guinness and TD by the gallon.

It's also what I have for my birthday, wedding anniversary, New Years, Cinco de Mayo, Bunson Burner Day...

That is perfect except no Black Pudding.

This past end of October held a harvest party. Home made chicken noodle soup with range fed organic chicken and real home made noodles. Home made tomato soup with lots of basil, garlic, onion, rosemary and parsley. Fresh from the crock Kim Chi, home made saurkraut, fresh brine pickles and green tomatoes. Brined eggplant with onion, garlic, parsley and hot red pepper. Baba Ganoush (eggplant dip), home made hummus (one plain and one with jalapano peppers blended in). Mulled apple cider and mulled red wine. Good red wine, imperial stout and Edradour scotch.

TG day will be range fed turkey stuffed with apple, celery and onion for moisture and flavor. Garlic rosemary mashed taters. Mashed turnips with butter and black pepper. Have the neeps and tatties covered there. Home made squash pies. Baked acorn squash. Labnah (thick middle eastern yogurt) dip with grilled bell pepper. Hot yeast rise rolls. Chestnut dressing and oyster dressing. Possible ham.

Being from Texas a big bowl of Menudo for breakfast is grand. Growing up in New Orleans a big plate of red beans and rice hits the spot.

Well, all of the talk about food got me to thinking. And while I didn't get close to the 'overfull feeling' stage, this morning's breakfast was quite filling.

Everything was purchased locally, and with the exception of the tea, black & white puddings and tomato, produced within 200 miles. (The tomato had a BC hot house label, so it was still somewhat local ). A local meat market sells a good bacon that they cure themselves and they make their own sausages.


With a little bit of work, and taking time to make some blueberry scones using frozen berries from the bushes alongside my house, I had a wonderful, full breakfast, including the black pudding.
