The food thread

Reminds me of Salam Kahil, a Lebanese Canadian fellow with a foul mouth and a sandwich that would kill your veins. Click on the Vancouver Sandwich Nazi video. That's what he was like to everyone, even the dear old ladies, I'm not kidding. Try staying with it through the whole video.
I stopped in to say hi today to find the store closed. He was the guy I got stinky cheese from. I guess the Freeway accident a couple years ago caught up with him.

Eggplant, artichokes, veal, clams, mussels, oysters, arugula, escargot -- in my youth these things were never seen west of the Delaware River, and east of the Rio Grande. Basil was unheard of and garlic used sparingly, if at all. But, we did have wonderful perch, walleye, small-mouth bass. I was fortunate too that my grandfather's brother owned a peach orchard just off Lake Erie.
