 DS> How much would you pay for an exceptional brew?

$12 a six pack; $18 for a truly premium import.

 DS> How about $5 an ounce?

I paid $1 per ounce once for an Innis & Gunn Scottish beer, sweetened
with heather honey and aged in old whiskey barrels. It was $11.50
for a 12 oz glass of draft at the Delux Burger Bar in Edmonton last
July. It was too sweet for my taste, interesting to try once but I
wouldn't do it again. I can't imagine ever going more than that.

I've never spent that much on wine or even scotch.

For people with more money than brains.... or taste IMO.

One of my recent projects has been researching street food and
snacks around the world. This is one of the things i can up with....

    toast-uh

A "toast-uh" is a Korean sandwich, often cooked up on the street in
a little truck or from a cart. It's usually made of egg, a slice of
ham or thin sausage patty kind of thing, maybe some cheese, and a
pile of shredded cabbage doused with maybe Thousand Island dressing
or ketchup and mayo on white bread that's been griddled grilled
cheese-style. It goes well during or after a night out of carousing.
Or anytime.

It is puffy and circular and reminded me of a Hot-Pocket. Plunk it
onto a heated cast iron press that pinches off the corners and seals
the edges.

One type is made of tuna salad loaded with corn, peas, macaroni, and
mayo. There's also a slice of ham, a few sweet pickles, a pile of
shredded cabbage, a glob of mashed potatoes, and a slathering of
strawberry jam.

which was essentially fried egg, shredded carrot and strawberry jam.
Bizarre. I actually used to have a toasted sandwich maker here in
Korea for making Tuna and cheese toasties (western-style).

Rory said... That's absolutely fantastic. I used to occasionally eat
a different variant--minus jam--and if you weren't quick to stop
them, the venders would liberally apply dowsings of sugar to your
ham-and-egg-ish toast...

Maven said... Wanna know what would taste good in it, tho? All the
components of a traditional American thanksgiving dinner: turkey,
mashed potatoes, stuffing, cran jelly, maybe some corn or sweet
potato...

Kitikata-san said... The general concept seems fun, but tuna, ham,
peas and strawberry jam together is not good eats. I would think of
dropping the jam.

Ask any of my students what toast is and they describe the above:
bread with egg, cheese, salad dressing, ketchup, cabbage, pickles
and ham. This sandwich, named "toast", is so popular that the kids
are shocked when I tell them toast, back home, is toasted bread.
