What is your "Signature Dish?"

[taxlady]

I guess one of my signature dishes is French Canadian tourtière. It's a meat pie with three kinds of ground meat and no gravy in the pie. It is served with gravy or home made ketchup. It's a traditional winter dish. It'a getting time to make some. I usually make three at a time and freeze two of them. The stuff is quite yummy.

I would eat both with a healthy salad of course, good looking pies Taxlady, in fact you are the Taxidermist of the pie crust.

Smoked Duck and Andouille Gumbo (A few fresh raw oysters at the very end)
Corn Bread Dressing....

Can you share how you make these? I would love to know how to make a meat pie.

It's my vegetable beef soup for sure. At least that's the one I get the most compliments on. It's certainly my favorite. It has pretty much every vegetable imaginable and is best if simmered nearly all day. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it actually!

I don't think I have a "signature dish" at all. But I sure know how to make a cracking good traditional Kalymnian seafood meze.

Fried octopus, squids, schrimps, lobster tails, grilled fresh sardines and scrumptious homemade chips done in olive oil. All fresh out of the sea, bargained hard for at Pothia's fish market, taken home and cooked to perfection. And this is what I do the best as dear Mummy taught me.

By the way, I also make rag rugs (back of chair).

It's making me hungry.

We sometimes have this for Christmas, because seafood is very plentiful at that time of the year. But I love seafood at any time of the year. It's just so lovely and the fun of it is haggling down at the market.

I wish we got fresh fish here. I'm too far from the ocean. Lots of people tell me it is fresh, but I lived in Copenhagen and it doesn't meet my standards. I used to buy fish that were fished that day.

Be a little tenacious in finding really fresh fish in your city. There's got to be a way. Why not ask a bistro manager where he gets his fish from? Or, Google up Dragør fishmongers for example, grab a pen and log any phone numbers. Because once you find a source, they'll get it to you because it's all good trade for them.

I'm in the motorbike trade, and go worldwide on the 'net in my search for specialist parts. So why not fish?

Fish is already expensive. It will be way out of my price range if they have to fly it here.

 

[Poppi G. Koullias]

Okay, well good luck anyway.

 

[buckytom]

poppi, i'm gonna have to come visit you at christmas time. man, that looks good.


i have a few dishes that i'm most often asked to make, so i guess they'd be my signature(s).

sunday gravy garden style, manhattan clam chowder, and pork rib roast with apple and butter gravy.

 

[Poppi G. Koullias]

Tom, you'd be welcome to eat with me anytime. And bring your clam chowder with piggy and its apple sauce and butter gravy - now that just sounds amazing.
