There was an Italian restaurant here about 4 years ago that was featured on the local TV news channel as being one of the best when they were doing their grand opening.

Of course I got online excitedly to look at their menu and nope. Veal Marsala had Pico De Gallo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pico_de_gallo on it. The Spaghetti Alle Vongole (fresh clams still in the shells) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti_alle_vongole had chunks of Chorizo ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorizo here in Texas is a Mexican or Latina pork sausage) in it. So I emailed the restaurant and asked them are you an Italian restaurant or are you a Fusion Italian Mexican restaurant. They said they were 100% Italian. So I questioned them some more: what part of Italy have the owner(s) or chef(s) been to or live at? NONE! NEVER EVER STEPPED FOOT IN ITALY! So I post a review on YELP saying that these folks say they are Italian restaurant but they never been to Italy and the ingredients listed in many common Italian dishes on their menu are wrong. The owner posted a rebuttal on YELP saying we are the best. How can you post a review if you never even dined with us? Come in and we will treat you to a meal on us and we will prove you wrong. I replied NO THANK You. I don't want any FAKE Italian food even if it's free. Of course YELP FILTERED my review into the bottom of the page into no man's land that I mentioned before. 6 months later or less, that restaurant was CLOSED. I guess the news reporter who reported the story probably got paid off by the restaurant too. I was driving in Plano 2 weeks ago and a billboard next ot one of the busiest thoroughfare advertised a Pizza restaurant and it read Best Pizza in the USA. I have been busy but I should check them out. Maybe I can peform another public community service and help close another SUBPAR FAKE Italian restaurant. |

Heringsstipp
Heringsstipp
(Seems to be something special German because I found no translation of it). Sure, I have doubts about my statement. It is pickled Herrings (~ similar to rollmops) in a sour cream-yoghurt-vinegar (neutral)-onions slices-apples-pickled cucumbers-marinade with salt&pepper&little sugar&mustard and some Herbals (such as dill) to taste. It's ready made, I don't do it myself. Seved with boiled potatoes.

Chicken salad last night.
Been packing away a wee bit too much of the red meat as of late. Every now and then it's not a bad idea to step it back with something a little bit healthier. It also cleanses the palette and gives me an appreciation for some fresh greens. |

Herrings (herrings) + Stipp (flying) = Flying Herrings?

Ah, now I got it !
With a stipp is -mostly in North Germany- this kind of Sauce / Marinade meant, those herring halves are "swimming" in. EDIT: I suppose -as I understand it - it dirive from the North German verb "stippen" ( to dunk / dip) something. But I'm not sure (I'm no North German). Bowl with Heringsstipp and Heringsstipp wit potatoes (example): Receipt in German: Code:

Krispy Kreme opens at 6 am.
I was there at 6:14 am. They had fresh hot donuts coming off the rollers. While I (and other customers) was waiting in line for my turn, the manager handed each one of us a fresh original glazed donut that was still warm. Oh it was so good! The ones in my box were also made fresh this morning but they won't taste the same since they were already in the display cases and weren't warm anymore. |
