Spike ,'Sleeper'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I've seen several UK people on cooking forums recommend this site [link] as a good place to get American foods not usually available in the UK. The first time I started clicking around that site, my reaction was, "It's an entire website of all the foods that my mother wouldn't let me eat as a kid!"
They've also got a special section for ingredients used in Nigella Lawson's cookbooks.
I like the haupia pie at Hawaiian mcdonalds. But they don't have it at the one on Waikiki!!
bonny, meant to say thanks for linking that column and your post about the March. I'd heard part of the story but it was great to learn more.
Yeah, I also drink water where I shouldn`t. I don`t really know why I`m not dead. But I have to say, it might not have been the smartest thing I`ve ever done, but drinking that water that was runoff directly from the glacier at the top of my hike in Alaska was one of the most delicious drinks I`ve ever had.
Oh, haupia pie! Mmm.
Did I tell you guys over here that my beloved local Hawai`ian lady reopened her restaurant in town? OMG SO HAPPY. I had lunch plate with kahlua pig, cabbage, macaroni salad and two scoops rice. And she was so happy to see me she gave me free haupia for dessert. She`s getting ready to make her own portuguese sausage which I can then buy! And I have to go this weekend for dinner because then I can get lomi salmon. The only thing is that she doesn`t do the less mainland friendly stuff like poi and poke. I have to see if she`ll do me lau lau. Nom nom nom. Anyway I now singlehandedly have to keep her in business.
I'm kind of amused that that US foods site is selling ramen noodles. I never really thought of ramen noodles as something that you'd specifically seek out.
I always though of them as lunch when you're just about out of money.
I imbibed everything in Jamaica but 75% of that was inside Sandals (don't judge, it was a gift).

Yeah. Not something that I can see ordering from a website.
Heh - a friend of mine writes a food blog focused (almost) entirely on ramen, but she means the kind of ramen she grew up eating in Osaka, not the kind that broke college kids eat here in the States. (Apparently it IS possible to find authentic Japanese ramen in NYC, but as with most good ethnic foods you have to leave Manhattan.)
