I don't know what's for supper tonight. I think I'll pick something out of The Minimalist Cooks at Home. Until I decide what that will be, here's some interesting reading on twenty things you must eat before you die.
I'll have to take Nigella's word on the pig ears. I can hardly be snobbish about ears when Paul Hinrichs informs me that I have been eating pig snouts all these years in my braunschweiger.
And I'm happy to see veal marrow in osso bucco on the list. At least that'll be one thing I can try soon.
The one thing I would add to the list is Colombian Ajiaco, which I've mentioned before--it's a chicken and potato stew, with capers and avocado and cream added right before eating. Sounds strange, but the combination is delicious beyond words. The lack of a certain herb called guascas and the right kind of potatoes make it difficult to duplicate exactly here in Minnesota, but one can come close.
