Talesin, send me that Novi, squid recipe. When I can... I get this 'Seafood Mix', with small squid, octopus, oyster, clams, scallops, etc. I usually give it a quick saute in garlic, drawn butter & olive oil, sherry and parsley.
Dan-o, Portobellos are one of my very favorites! I will try your recipe soon.
I love oysters, especially fried in a good breading.
Escargot and all the other 'weird' foods I usually like, too. Even Little Toe's, Haggis, I knew I was gonna HATE it, I mean...Google it and see how it's made... It is Delicious !
A family recipe from my German ancestors: German eggs: Simmer a link of good German or Polish link sausage in water for about 20 minutes. (Oven-proof pan) Slice into 2" lengths and stand upright and evenly spaced in the sausage-water. Break several eggs in and around the sausage. Bake in oven until the eggs are almost set...they will be poached and take up a great flavor from the meat.
FrenchBabyFace, thank you for a neat idea for a thread...I hope you'll share with us some 'everyday' French favorites...like families really eat everyday.
