Don't know about the taste--it just SOUNDS awful.
Posted by TW at August 8, 2004 10:48 PMSounds like a trick to me "I just need you to taste-test a few recipes"... What and whup out a can of chick peas on me? You might make me drink the juice! No thanks. But hominy might be a different story *grin*. (Kman hates hominy - I love it in all forms, including grits!) I have a killer hominy recipe with cream cheese and jalapenos and green chilies.

Posted by Philip at August 9, 2004 10:46 PMSorry, I just can't leave this alone. Exactly as you stated so descriptively, I've always thought the whole name of this... this... stuff was "fucking felafel" and if you ever found it in some weird grocery or hardware store, that would be the name on the bucket.
Posted by Philip at August 9, 2004 10:49 PMGood, grief. I'm getting all urpy just thinking about it.

When done right, these dishes are delicious. But they are seldom done right outside of California and New York....
