Cottage cheese has been part of my breakfasts of late. I cut up a bit of avocado, cantaloupe or banana and cover it with cottage cheese. I figure if half the dish is fruit it will not matter as much that cottage cheese has a good bit of sodium. LOL!

I like walnuts in pesto. So, while not ground, they are very well smashed up and a bit emulsified with the oil.

Oh, my God!
It is served that way?
I thought it was ready to go in the oven!
I followed the link and saw that it is called “Maison Nico’s aspic de fruit de mer printanier” but the question that came to my mind first is, “Why?”
I guess it is what you grow up with, and the only aspic type dish I had growing up was head cheese. My Dad loved it but I do not think I have had it since I was 14. For some reason I thought of the Romans feasting on dormice stuffed with lark tongue.

I don’t think anyone was really ready for aspic during its heyday.

Allegedly they used aspic to create the melting head in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Oddly enough, that is not helping me develop a desire to eat an aspic dish…

There are so many kinds of aspic dishes. Some are good. Most have only one redeeming quality, how smoothly they come back up.

I’ve found hit or miss with menudo. Sublime or shit, it always seems. I don’t chuchaqui much anymore , either, and still like menudo. Used to love it for breakfast, though. Now, I’m on a chilaquiles kick.

The parents would say, “Its an aquired taste”. I haven’t gotten there yet.

They’re still so affordable, too. Walnuts are amazing versatile. I can’t name all the things I thrown them into. Perfect nut. Baklava is possibly my favorite pastry. My next one will have pistachios, walnuts (of course) and pecans. My next hurdle. Trying to find a guy I bought honey from years ago. Buckwheat honey. Was amazing.

Is out of favor? I make it all the time. It is the gold standard.
I make my own. And I think it’s even better than not bad!

I agree it is the gold standard, but I have not seen a can in decades. I assume it is either out of production or has no following in Texas.
Buckwheat anything is amazing. Buckwheat pancakes with butter and molasses for me, please!

I’ve never had it canned. I make it from the recipe on their website.
