Ours were cubes (about 1" square) of smoked salmon that had a brown sugar type glaze. They were not sweet & sour (only sweet and smoky) and not like jerky so I guess there are many definitions of it. This is what we got from the local seafood place...more expensive than I would ever buy but my friend bought it ($19.99lb)

I went to a late breakfast with friends, and am thinking that between not being very hungry right now and it raining, I'm going to skip the Greek food festival and either just skip dinner or reheat leftovers.

I made cassoulet. Jacques Pepin's "30 minute cassoulet" recipe, more or less, with the addition of browning panko crumbs under the broiler. It's so good and so heavy. I bought a half apple pie for dessert and we won't get to it.

And a glass of chianti, and a glass of bordeaux.

30 minute cassoulet? I gotta check this out. Yum.

Last of the beef tenderloin (Tournedos Rossini, again) tonight and one last fresh bath of Beef Stroganoff last night with leftover for munch today.

"Smoking" 11 lb of pork back ribs tomorrow to eat over X nights.

Bucatini Carbonara
For some reason it wasn't as good as usual so a waste of calories.

Have to make your own pancetta.

Impulse stop at Taylor’s Refresher (gott’s roadside) in St Helena (north of Sf):
cheeseburger
fried chicken sandwich
fried teriyaki chicken sandwich
shared fries with cheese sauce
milkshake
iced tea

delicious and I’ll never be able to make a real fried chicken sandwich.

Yep, that matches the salmon candy I would get at WF. I guess it isn’t really sweet and sour as I said last night :-)

I have the book (Fast Food My Way) but found the recipe online too.

So it's chewy? Hmmm...You're not really selling me here. :D

less chewy but texture is like biltong. Also more sweet and not sour. Bad me!

Off topic, but interesting:

I was watching a rerun of Family Feud recently and in Fast Money there was a question asking at what time do you start thinking about dinner? The first family member said 6 pm, and the second family member also said 6pm, but then said 7 pm after she was buzzed. Both responses got a zero (0) score and they did not win the $20K.

I don't know anybody who waits that late to think about dinner. IIRC the #1 answer was 2 pm as you would think about it to plan the cooking or where you were going to go out for dinner to make reservations. (Of course, this was recorded pre-Covid.)

Quite possibly deep South America where 10p is when the kids eat.

What was the number one answer?
i start the day before because I usually have to move a frozen protein to the fridge.

Lol good point :-)

The ones I had were not chewy...just the texture of usual cooked salmon but with carmelization on the outside. Eaten cold (room temp actually).
