However, until my local farmer's market starts carrying items like frozen lima and fava beans, I am going to be wasting more gas traveling to two locations. I despite cooking dry beans in general... it's just not worth it.

]]> Comment on Choco-Bananas Are Serbian Sweetness by Elizabeth http://www.cookography.com/2012/choco-bananas-are-serbian-sweetness/comment-page-1#comment-18808 Elizabeth Wed, 25 Apr 2012 15:33:01 +0000 http://www.cookography.com/?p=2671#comment-18808 Hello! I am from Serbia, and I must tell you, you've been missing out. The SwissLion bananas are great and all, but the ones that Stark makes.. http://www.stark.rs/lista-brendova-bananica.html# (I'm sorry, there doesn't seem to be an English version for now, don't know what that's all about...) Well, in short, they're the "original" ones, but it always depends on who you ask, of course. It's all marketing these days, and there are a lot of similar products made by small companies, and not all of them taste quite as good. (And I do take into consideration that the one most advertised is not always the best!) Anyway, if you really want to get a kick out of these chocolate wonders, then I strongly advise you to make these rolls: http://www.coolinarika.com/recept/rolat-sa-bananicama/ If you're really interested, I can translate it into English for you. Chocolate bananas are a passion that needs to be shared. :) Hello!

I watched Julia Child watch someone make this on TV years ago, made it once, and the visitors I shared it with still rave about it every time we talk. Then I lost the recipe. :( So happy to find this. I used King Arthur bread flour and white whole wheat 50/50 (all bread flour for the biga). About 24 hour biga fridge-rise. My oven is flaky and didn't get about 400, but it stil turned out wonderful. The inside looks like a giant English muffin. Fantastic with hummus, plain, or with butter and homemade plum jam. Start-to-finish about 34 hours, but worth every minute of it. Thanks for posting it! Wow!

I could not see the bellies because of the batter but when I ate one it had the consistency of a worm! It was disgusting and I spit it out. The waitress asked if there was something wrong and I told her I didn't care for them. She told me that that was the best part of the clam. I told her I would tear them off, eat the strips and she could have em. Later that night I was nauseated and had the runs. Never again! I had clams with bellies out east one summer near Cape Cod.

See, my favorite pickles in the whole wide world are Claussen Pickles. If you do add the chili flakes along with a small jar of pimentos and a jar of capers, you got yourself pickles tasting like Claussen pickles. It must be chili flakes and drain and rinse the pimentos and capers of their packaging juices. I tried this recipe and I added a few things.
