Overheard on the General Topics Board
"Do give liver a try, sauteed with onion, garlic, and bacon, deglazed with red wine. Saute until center is still a bit pink, then slice into very thin bite-sized pieces, like 1/8" thick. That way, the texture is not noticeable." – greygarious
"I used to bite my nails, so I bought some of that nail varnish that tastes revolting. It worked at first and I kept tasting to remind myself how vile it was, until I got used to the taste, then somehow I started to like it, almost revelling in the bitterness and finding pleasure in the unpleasant. And of course, still biting my nails. Same with olives, and Campari, and beer. Perverse, eh?" – gembellina
"[The term 'slickers'] is new to me, but I have heard of slippery dumplings, as in Chicken and slippery dumplings, which are a flat noodle-like dough product which is called a dumpling. I think it's from Pennsylvania Dutch cooking." – janniecooks responding to a thread started by wekick about an item on the menu called "slickers" at a Jerseyville, Illinois, restaurant
