I just discovered this post, and even though it’s been quite awhile since any postings – I thought I had to toss in my .02 …

When I was younger, we’d go to the Indy speedway for the 500 – we’d alway have Wiedeman’s pastries (Ft Thomas – long gone) and – wait for it – deviled ham sandwiches – of course on cheap white bread. Also a staple at the speedway – their ENORMOUS pork tenderloin sandwiches. I still get them whenever I go to the speedway – it’s the only place that does them right.

I also have a penchant for cream horns – of course nobody does them like Virginia Bakery did!

Where do you get your braunschweiger? And why didn't you express your excitement at seeing it featured in my sandwich post?

Oh! I forgot! Donut Guy- some bakery around here, I’m not sure which, used to do deep-fried croissants covered with donut glaze. The outside were super crispy and a dark golden brown, and the insides were soft and almost squishy. HEAVEN. You should make some. And send them to me.

Ooh, this isn't processed-disgusting, but I know a lot of Americans are squicked out by organ meat and snails.

I LOVE escargot. In fact, if I knew I could get some decent snails (I'm guessing Jungle Jim's), I would make escargot bourgignone (supremely easy to make)tonight. There is nothing working for the little bite of snail, then emptying the garlicky butter in to the dish and sopping it up with bread. I'm pretty sure that at least 75% of the dinners I had in Paris with Terry involved me getting escargot. Yum yum.

Some people find foie gras (or any sort of liver) disgusting. I love that too-- pan seared please. I think you guys know that though, since Terry and I had our foie gras fest earlier this year.

This is a bit processed, but I do love liverwurst, particularly braunschweiger. My grandmother would die if she knew I was eating it now (I hated it as a kid) but mmm. Braunschweiger.

To clarify: Terry has admitted TWO horrible foods; the CBB and the cheese sauce are both so disgusting they have to be considered individually.

Proud Rooster: Owned by Bush/Cheney fans, if anyone cares about that.

I like liver & onions, fried chicken livers, tongue, ho-hos, White Castle and beef jerky.

allson–You really can find the best junk food at out-of-the-way gas stations, can’t you? And I love Chic-o-sticks; they were also my mom’s favorite candy.

Blackbird– I will note that he didn’t get the corned beef hash the LAST time he was in NY. But that’s a post.

Allison– Oh, me too. I’m a big fan of diet Dr. Pepper, Fritos Flavor Twist Honey BBQ, and gummi SOMETHING– either sweet-and-sour worms, bears, life savers– doesn’t matter. Yum.
