Red Robin is way too expensive for what you get, unless you
like vast quantities of fried potatoes.

 RH> Wish you were there to try some of these in the original form?

Well, I did have a dish of seafowl in YK last year.

I'd not be inclined to risk it even with permission!

Reminds me of the saying

In Germany, everything is forbidden except if it is specifically
permitted. In France, everything is permitted except if it is
specifically forbidden. In Italy, everything is permitted even
if it is specifically forbidden. In Russia, everything is forbidden
even when it is specifically permitted.

      Title: CHEAP TRICKS #2-Chicken Livers with fresh Gnocchi
 Categories: Low cost, Pasta, Poultry, Advertiser, $1/head
   Servings:  4

           ===GNOCCHI==================
      1 kg Potatoes, steamed & peeled
           [while still hot & pushed
           [through a ricer or coarse
           [sieve or colander]
    1/2 ts Salt
     50 ml Plain flour
    150 ml Fine semolina
      2    Eggs
           ===CHICKEN LIVERS===========
     50 g  Butter
      1    5cm sprig of rosemary,
           [leafed]
      4 sm Onions, peeled and sliced
           [keeping peels for stock]
      3    Garlic cloves, peeled and
           [roughly chopped]
    150 g  Mushrooms, chopped in big
           [chunks]
      1    Red capsicum
      1 tb Worcestershire sauce
           Black pepper
           Salt, to taste
           Handful of chopped herbs

  FOR THE GNOCCHI: Mix everything together, cover with a plastic bag and
  allow to rest for 15 minutes. Put the mixture into a plastic bag and snip
  a corner of the bag so that the hole is about 15mm. Lightly flour a
  surface and pipe long sausages out onto the bench until it has all been
  piped. Using a wetted knife, cut them into 2cm lengths and separate them
  out slightly.

  Fill the hot pot with water, add a teaspoon of salt and place it on high
  heat. When the water is boiling, cook the gnocchi a few at a time, lifting
  them with the spider/slotted spoon, draining them well and placing them
  back on the floured surface.

  FOR THE LIVERS: Pre-heat the wok, add rosemary and butter and, as soon as
  the edges of the butter start to brown, add the onion and saute, tossing
  over frequently until lightly browned. Add the garlic and mushrooms, and
  continue cooking until the mushrooms have expelled their liquid and it has
  evaporated and they have slightly browned.
  Add the capsicums, cook until slightly softened, then add the chicken
  livers and a generous amount of pepper, cooking until the livers are
  lightly browned but still slightly pink inside. Stir through the
  Worcestershire sauce and immediately add the gnocchi, season with salt,
  stir the herbs through and serve immediately.
