10405. jayackroyd - 7/19/2004 1:51:45 PM Dinner for me tonight was doggie-bagged vegetable biranyi from the relatively new Indian restaurant a block from here. Their portions are huge. 10406. arkymalarky - 7/19/2004 3:46:49 PM I went to Western Sizzlin, which I'm not that fond of, but we had a meeting there. They overcooked my steak, the waitress noticed it herself and offered to get me another, which I requested to go. It was overdone too, though not as bad as the other. I'm still going to have it for lunch tomorrow.
Trivia:
Jim McDougal used to eat at that particular Western Sizzlin every Saturday before he died. It was better then. 10407. PelleNilsson - 7/19/2004 4:55:34 PM No we don't bring home leftovers here. I don't think it's done anywhere in Europe. I must say that the idea of bringing home a half-eaten steak and some soggy french fries strikes as less than appetizing. 10408. Macnas - 7/19/2004 4:57:53 PM Meal portions in Yurp are generally a good deal smaller than in the 'States. There is very little left at the end of the meal if it was a good one.

at first glance I read that as
"doggie-based vegetable biranyi"
... raised my eyebrows. 10410. Magoseph - 7/19/2004 7:46:14 PM The custom of bringing home leftovers is one that I welcomed gladly when the kids were small, especially from the Pizza Hut. The boys and their father relish cold refrigerated pizza and I did not have to cook breakfast. I don’t know if any of you have ever eaten cold slices of Pizza Hut pizza, but if you haven’t—don’t knock the idea until you try it. 10411. alistairconnor - 7/19/2004 9:06:33 PM Hey, I never met a pizza I didn't like.
I count this as a vice, or at least as a character weakness. 10412. Macnas - 7/19/2004 9:37:03 PM Except the pizzas with fish on, fish do not belong on pizza. 10413. alistairconnor - 7/19/2004 9:42:19 PM Anchovies, yes. Salmon, yes, in certain circumstances. Tuna, in a pinch.
My philosophy is libertarian, or even libertine : anything goes on a pizza. 10414. Macnas - 7/19/2004 9:44:24 PM I thought you were vegetarian? 10415. alistairconnor - 7/19/2004 10:03:20 PM Currently a non-practising vegetarian. The cycling trip did me in. I would have eaten anything, generally a kilo of pasta or potatoes per meal, along with any bits of cheese, dead animals, or even greenery that got in my way.
But even as a practising vegetarian, I was a fish-eating apostate. 10416. Magoseph - 7/19/2004 10:18:11 PM I am now ready to go gallivanting in beautiful downtown Lake Geneva with my daughter-in-law. We will have haircuts and we will act as Chicago tourists--we will take a boat excursion to see the beautiful lake homes, have lunch, and see the gift and clothes shops. 10417. Macnas - 7/19/2004 10:57:42 PM Sounds cool Mago.
10418. Macnas - 7/19/2004 10:59:20 PM Fish, the only fish I'll eat is trout, wild river trout. Nice mild taste, and all the better when you've caught it yourself. 10419. judithathome - 7/19/2004 11:57:54 PM I love cold pizza. My favorite pizza is from a local place we go...it's called a Chaobella. He puts ricotta cheese, basil, proscuitto, and paper-thin sliced Roma tomatoes on it and sprinkles just a little bit of mozzerella over it all. 10420. Macnas - 7/20/2004 12:03:11 AM That sounds good. Proscuitto is a kind of parma type ham, or am I wrong? 10421. judithathome - 7/20/2004 12:09:32 AM Right...it's wonderful.
I guess you could use regular smoked ham...it's just a nice touch that he uses the proscuitto.
I have even dreamed about that pizza! I only have it about once every six months. I'm sure I could eat it every day but that wouldn't be wise. 10422. Macnas - 7/20/2004 12:17:11 AM I don't eat pizza much myself. Nice when I do through. 10423. Macnas - 7/20/2004 12:17:33 AM "though" 10424. Macnas - 7/20/2004 12:18:57 AM I do eat paella regularly, but without the snails.
