"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Mmm. That sounds delicious.
Err, Barb's dish, that is, not the crocodile. Although I don't know, I've never eaten crocodile. It might be scrumptiousness itself for all I know, but I somehow doubt I will find out.
In other nom news, I am on attempt number two to make white pizza today. We are trying to create the nom that is the white pizza of northern Ohio of my childhood, as done to perfection by Champion Chicken & Pizza.
It's not an alfredo or a pesto; it has no sauce at all. Olive oil, coarse salt, lots of black pepper. Tons of cheese, italian sausage, mushrooms, banana peppers, more cheese.
Somehow, no one else makes it just like this except northeastern Ohio. I've cajoled various specialty pizza places into trying to make it for me, but so far with no win. We tried making it earlier this summer and were close.
This attempt has more black pepper, proper coarse salt, and hotter banana peppers. It is in the oven now. We shall see.

White pizza! YUM! The one that Zeppe's used to make had a lot of garlic with the oil in the base.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, garlic! Garlic might be what we're missing.
I forgot you were from up there; you're one of the few people who can appreciate my deep and abiding need for white pizza!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, god. There's a site about tweets about taking a dump. What is with people and the oversharing? And then the making a buck off other people oversharing?

I've eaten alligator, and it does taste like chicken, or at least like chicken cooked with fish.

I have a mental tag on alligator i that claims it tastes like veal, but I think it's really just that, when I tried it, it had been battered and fried and so tasted mostly of fried batter like a veal cutlet.

I'll echo Ginger - my forays into eating gator have been mostly chicken-like, with a bit greasier texture and a hint of fish oil flavor.

I know I've had alligator sausage, but that's full of other flavors.
