I read your signature, Alty!

WG, you're likely the only one. Sigh. :)

Will I get a prize? Some poutine?

Poutine is Canadian. I am in Canada, but I'm much better at making spaetzle, bratwurst, blaukruat, etc.

But poutine, if it's made right, is the bom diggity. Sooooo good, and sooooo bad for you. Love it!

Grilled bratwurst? and toasted marshmallows? I called my brother near Rochester NY to send me some of western NY's white hots. I'll eat bratwurst until the hots arrive. Spaetzle would be nice too.

I just had sauerbraten. Yuck.

Ewww! Ya, I agree J, sauerbraten not good. Not good at all. I'm cringing just thinking about it.

I like Bratwurst... never had Poutine.

I've had awesum suerbraten...and I've had some not so good., but I haven't had opportunity to have it much or often.

LOL! We got moved to our own thread.

Who hijacked it this time? I think WG started it. :)

I was doing an Alty. And had only responded to your wondering about no one reading your signature, and Bob's your uncle, a new thread got started.

Are we really calling the hijacking of a thread an "Alty"? That's a bit sad. I didn't start it. I'm sure it happened long before I cam along. Sigh.

Smoothy, you must have poutine. French fries with cheese, covered in gravy. What's not to love about that? When I was pregnant with Jared I was still working in insurance. Our building was downtown, and attached to a large mall. In the food court they had a place that specialized in poutine. Best poutine ever, and I've had it in many different places. Just talking about it makes me salivate. Soooo good.

Every day I told myself I wouldn't get poutine, because it's really not healthy. Every day I'd lose the battle. That Poutine is very likely the reason I gained 80 pounds with my pregnancy with Jared. But it was so worth it.

Damn, now I want poutine. :(

Never saw it on the menu anyplace around here... I'll try anything once... unless its got tripe brain or intestines in it.

Beer brats on the grill tonight! Yumm, I can't wait.

You used to be good at it, but have calmed down a lot and now stay on topic. I responded to you when I shouldn't have and then went off on a tangent. See how easily I/we went from your signature to poutine? That shows we aren't boring.

Poutine done right = yumm.

Poutine done right = orgasmic. :)

I just went too far, didn't I? :(

Poutine looks heavenly. I've never tried it, guess that's going to be next on my list.

You have to try it J, it's that good, if done right. It need the right fries, right cheese curds, and the right gravy, and then it's heaven. Even without the exact right ingredients it's pretty good, but to truly enjoy it you need the exact right ingredients, like anything else.

Okay, can we stop talking about poutine, because I'm seriously drooling here. :(

If you are even in the New Paltz NY area ......

Tomber, I saw Roulade (which they spelled wrong, it's Rouladen but who's judging?) and now I'm seriously drooling.

I make wicked Rouladen. Very very good, if I do say so myself. :)

Und Goulash auch? Mein lieber Gott. Himmlisch!

See, just talking German food makes me start talking in German. :)

I think they are using that spelling to differentiate the appetizer from the main course.

My favorite recipe that they offer occasionally as a special is their Schweinshaxe braised with White Wine & Mustard, Fried Sage, Sauerkraut & Mashed Potatoes (although I usually ask for spaetzle instead of the potatoes).
.

Now I want perogies!

What kind of perogies? Potato, Cheddar and Jalapeño? Sauteed or boiled, with butter and sauteed onions?

Cheese, boiled then sauteed in butter!

Or with Lekvar. The way Mom used to make!

Okay, you all have to stop talking food. I'm getting depressed.

I miss my moms spinach the most. Ground spinach, the consistency of porridge, cooked, things added to it (what I don't know), two fried eggs, and boiled potatoes. Every year when my mom asked what I wanted for my birthday dinner, that was it! I can still taste it, even though it's been at least 15 years since I've had it and I don't have the recipe. :(
