Passenger pigeon parmigiana
Feb. 22nd, 2005 09:07 amWell, not as such, but this e-book does have culinary notes about passenger pigeons, as well as sundry other critters such as trumpeter swans and bison. And I've finally discovered the meaning of "melt" (spleen) as found in the Weird Meats section of the local Asian megamart, though I'm still not quite sure I want to eat it.
(Contrary to popular belief, there are some things I will not consume: Dutch salted licorice, really stinky cheese, and that vile blue Pepsi mutant. Based on the salt-ammonia commonalities of the first two, I suspect that I would not eat natto either, at least not more than once.)
Addendum: still reading my way through the whole e-book, and I'll be darned-- the "tuckahoe" is an edible pseudotruffle. The playground at Tuckahoe Park in Arlington was one of my favorite childhood haunts, but I never really thought about what "Tuckahoe" might mean. Then again, I'm still not really sure what a "haycock" is either.
