===============================
Hey Michael!

-> 
->  -> The main appeal (besides scarcity) is that the aroma is
->  -> reminiscent of sex hormones. Not that great of a deal.
->  HN> Some seem to think so!
-> 
-> The hormones are fine. Truffles I find mostly a waste of
-> time. Sure, they enhance some dishes, but so do regular
-> mushrooms, onions, garlic, and MSG.
-> 
-> Further, many people (read t C i t H) get cheap summer
-> truffles and stick them in all over the place, and they
-> look all luxurious but taste like almost nothing. Seldom
-> have I had a real truffle outside Europe, and even in the
-> cases I've found real ones, they tend to be stale. P.S.
-> The Oregon ones are not great.
-> 
Hmm, have never had the Oregon ones (at least to my knowledge) but have 
never had them in a dish that I really thought they made a huge contribution 
to. 

->  HN> Hmmm, I'd have thought you'd love pheasant, but not if it's cooked 
to 
->  HN> dryness! I think a wild pheasant has the most wonderful flavor, as do
->  HN> most  game birds.
-> 
-> As I said, they do have their place, but I am definitely
-> not going out of my way for them. For some reason I prefer
-> Guinea fowl: perhaps they're fatter.
-> 
I've never had guinea fowl....wonder where I can get one (grin)

->  -> Do you serve meadowlark with citrus juice?
->  HN> Not I, I had them fried and I ate them not by choice at the time. 
They
->  HN> were  actually pretty good though, and in a pinch I'd not be averse 
to
->  HN> having them  on the plate. 
-> 
-> One has to travel the world to find such a dish.
-> 
Nope, one only had to get caught target shooting at Meadowlarks by my 
dad...who's motto was "Don't shoot anything you don't intend to eat." 
Dredged in flour and fried in Lard they certainly weren't haute cuisine...and I

didn't eat the tounges(grin)....but I've eaten worse too. 

->  -> Spicy Chicken with Thai Basil
->  HN> Simple straightforward, and it looks pretty good too!
-> 
-> Did you ever wonder why the food at Thai restaurants came out
-> ten minutes after you ordered it? 'cause it takes 5 to cook.
-> 
Yup! 

->  HN> I'd probably add a bit of celery as well.
-> 
-> [gargl]
-> 
Well some of us LIKE celery (grin).

->                KHAI LUK KOEI ("SON-IN-LAW'S EGGS")
->                ===================================
-> 
->   Seriously though, this dish is delicious and easy to make. If you
->   don't have quail's eggs, then use 8 hen's eggs. You can also use the
->   sauce to go with fried eggs or simple omelettes.
-> 
I can go to Pal Do World and get quail eggs...fresh or even canned!
chat with you soon
