Still, though...I friggen love pop tarts. And I do admit to enjoying eating out at a nice restaurant on occasion. Almost all of the meat my wife and I consume is the result of something we "gathered" ourselves. As a matter of fact...my wife is at this very moment standing up a tree with a bow in her hand hoping to "gather" us a bit more. A majority of the remaining meat we consume comes from a pig we butcher ourselves. A fraction of any other meats we do happen to buy come from either an organic farm or, on very rare occasions, a deli down state (Detroit). We buy our poultry from either the Amish or an organic farm near the Amish. Our eggs come from a friend that has "free range chickens" (eggs purchased from a store come nowhere near the quality and taste these eggs). We also have a garden and grow quite a few of our own vegetables. Still, though...I friggen love pop tarts. And I do admit to enjoying eating out at a nice restaurant on occasion. Oh, hell yeah: I don't care that much for pop tarts, but white cheddar cheez-its....ooh la la! We too occasionally enjoy a fine restaurant; usually ethnic though, say Thai or Malay... I love to cook, and routine fare like breakfast or meat 'n taters is usually better at home. I do make a mean panang curry. When I was a kid, if we had meat on the table, it was because my old man shot it (usually after I flushed it--miracle I survived  ): venison, squirrel, rabbit, quail, pheasant, turkey, catfish, carp, bluegill, crappie. I longed to eat "store meat" like the other kids and to this day have little taste for game, though fresh fish is fine. Can't stand to eat salmon, either, because we went through some hard years eating salmon cakes my mother made from cheap canned salmon, often served with cream of potato soup, sometimes several times a week: I still go pale at the scent of salmon...

Your gramps live in 'Staven, the home of big hair?
The New Haven area has several fine Thai restaurants, and at least two very good Malay places. There has been an explosion of ethnic cuisine in New Haven over the past decade--Asian, Afrian, South American. I'll put together a list and pass it along. We also have several excellent Asian grocery stores, so Thai noodles, curry pastes, coconut milk, lemon grass, etc. are widely available. The panang curry is easy; I'll write it down next time I make it. And next time you pass through, let me know: my treat. Save lives! Click here! Join the World Community Grid with Team EvC!

I bet that's exactly it, schraf. Either Flies has an exquisitely sensitive nose, or the chef had a heavy hand; I did notice in another post that Flies says he doesn't eat much fresh fish because it smells, well, fishy...
I sometimes use a small amount of fish sauce (I'm allergic to all shellfish), but often don't because it does turn some people away. Probably wouldn't want to offer him winter kimchi, either Save lives! Click here! Join the World Community Grid with Team EvC!
