late twenties birthday location

Zig Zag, right around the Pike Place Market, is a great spot. I used to go there after work regularly. It's one of the (many) things I miss about Seattle. I think they have a happy hour from 5-7 on weekdays. http://zigzagseattle.com/

Forgotten foods.

I have a can of Hominy in my cupboard as I write this. And yes, I'm from the south. I love bolied peanuts, too. My dad turns rabid when he hears the words "Chess Pie." Thanks for those ideas.

Herring aspic . Whew, sounds ... interesting. And yes, it seems you all are right about gelatins falling out of favor. However, my grandmother always seems to sneak a cranberry jell-o mold onto the table every year when I go back home for the hoidays. Thanks for the suggestions.

Excellent. Thanks for the link.

Forgotten foods.

I'm writing a paper on forgotten/overlooked/underappreciated foods (ingredients or dishes) - stuff you just don't see on many plates these days - and, frankly, I need ideas. So far, I'm stuck in the Brussels Sprouts/Rutabaga areas. I know there are many more. Any thoughts and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
