a bit of the food show

fancy food show: redux.

(Instead of single malt scotch, single cow cheese?)
It was stinky-with a washed rind. Cheese was dunked in Farmhouse Cider.
That's milk from a single goat, they didn't make too much of it, here taste some.
Frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity-those guys don't get any older. Still tastes the same. delicious!
We don't have any more pork." 'What about that?' (I was pointing to the pile of crispy skin) I've got to have a slice of that skin... Crunchy goodness!
It was a Black Footed Iberico ham that caught my eye... I just had to have a taste sliced thinly, by hand.
Ciao Bella? My palate needed cleansing with the creamy goodness of the malted milk gelato.
Smoked Salmon from Maine with wild blueberries?
Zzzzzz Serendipitea... iced? Hot?
Popcorn with shaved Black Truffles.
Half of all imported foods are either Natural or Organic...says the NASFT
Flavored pastel colored Marshmallows are "all the rage"
Whole Black Truffles are in a basket. May I have one? No?
Korean Sea Salt...hand harvested and air dried for three years.
Mushrooms hand gathered that morning for Sid Wainer & Sons on Cape Cod
Eighty different styles of PANKO? And that was only from Japan!
Micro-greens in all varieties for the home chef or commercial chef.
Egg Creams like dad made out in the garage! Espresso Soda in a bottle!
Blue Footed Chickens on the video monitor-from kill to table in 1 hour.
Jelly Belly in flavors too many to count. Apple and Walnut anyone?
Ice Cream made from soy milk that tastes like carob.
Labeling machines, make your own labels at your restaurant. Become an olive oil superstar.
Frozen Gourmet Desserts from Morocco. Olive oil from Liberia. Olives from all over.

Next aisle, honey from Tasmania, honey from San Diego, honey from Poland, honey from Savannah, honey from New York, honey from a single hive?
Crackers, wheat, oat, groats, walnut, soy, corn, cedar (for cooking, not eating) rice, beans, etc., etc.,
Soups, I was hot just thinking about hot soup in a hot room. But I tried some anyway. Tomato Soup-milk, cream, butter, stock, and tomato.
Two Hens were at the food show- I love their chicken pot pies-they are adapting their business plan to fit a vegetarian/agrarian model and it works-the veggie pot pies have great crusts and are delicious.
Belgian Beers poured by the beer makers. Tripples, Dubbels, and Lagers. Then to Germany where they were pouring shots of peppermint schnapps from a small restaurant in the Bhurgherland... then to Mexico where they were serving little stoneware jugs of single village Mezcal. Then to England for some Ginger Beer...
