Thanks for that info warning about deceptive packaging by the Log Cabin folks. How disappointing for those of us who love REAL maple syrup.

Here’s the link again along w/ Quix ping.

I have to work all day Saturday, so I am going to stop by Fire Fresh BBQ tomorrow afternoon and pick up a tray of pulled pork and some ‘Bama Red Ribs.

Let's Pork

Snip:

There's a saying in Yiddish my Great-Aunt Sadie used to tell me when we'd visit her in Ft. Lauderdale: "If you're going to eat pork, get it all over your beard." As an 8-year-old to whom puberty and halakha were both just three-syllable words, I was confused. Now I realize it's the Yiddish version of "Go Big or Go Home." At any rate, Traif, a new restaurant at the Brooklyn base of the Williamsburg Bridge, is full of happy eaters, beards glossy with bacon grease. Apparently they each have a Great-Aunt Sadie of their own.

It takes chutzpah to open a restaurant specializing in pig parts just a stone’s throw from Hasidic-heavy South Williamsburg and its scary forelocked squads of Shomrim. It’s like if someone opened a gay bar called Infidel right outside Mecca. “Two for one Heinekens for hajjis.” But two things save Traif: Its chef/owner, Jason Marcus, is a Jew. And also, he’s pretty good at his job. Marcus’ menu is exhaustive, ever-changing and printed daily in a font called Bradley Hand. Given the general unsavviness of Traif’s design, I doubt whether Marcus was aware the font was designed by Briton Richard Bradley, a Bible lecturer and typographer whose oeuvre consists mostly of creating fonts for Christian literature. Type nerds, though, can’t miss the irony.

I LOVE it. Thank you for sharing this. Sounds like Aunt Sadie was quite a gal.

Well, we all love to cook out and pork is always good
but for 9-11 it seems to me it should be bitter herbs,
burnt pork and for desert, revenge, best served cold.

9-11 NEVER FORGET.

[MamaDearest]

I was shocked to see it, actually, and found the menu more than quite interesting.

9-11 NEVER FORGET.

That's the purpose of this thread and the problem we have in today's world - far too many have forgotten and apparently don't care one way or the other about the victims, the intent of the terrorists, that trials or punishment have not yet been meted (with an administration that cannot even bear to utter the words "terrorist" "Muslim" "Islam" or "jihad," nor has the rebuilding of human lives or the physical building replacement occurred, nor are they willing to secure our nation's borders from dangerous illegals from terror-sponsoring countries in their distorted view of "redistribution" of America's wealth and "compassion" for everyone who crosses the border illegally.

You do have a big point, Tet68. I was encouraged to start this thread as a take off on the ‘National Day of Service’ replacing its actual understanding as Patriots’ Day, begun under Bush.

It came to me. It should be the national day of FOOD service. And while we’re at it, let’s make sure to have lots of smoke in the air filled with the aromas of pork. Just because. While we can still buy it in the US, I suppose.

The bitter herbs, unleavened bread, and so forth is a nice idea. It is Yom Kippur.

I even looked for little paper napkins in the shape of crescents that I could put a star on and wipe my mouth or whatever I feel like it with. That’s a little bit of frou frou I don’t need to mess with, I don’t think, but it’s a thought.

Turns out this will be the last Walter Reed 9/11 cookout for the troops, too. No everyone can be there. But we can send smoke signals up to high heaven. All across the country.

I also found a little New York eatery, Sweet Revenge. Also makes cupcakes. Maybe there’s an appropriate recipe in that idea. http://www.sweetrevengenyc.com/

I do hear you though. I hope there’s so much smoke that the whole nation smells pork.

Dont eat the Koran use it for chum.

We use ground up fish guts and menhaden oil to chum up fish we target. A little Koran dust would just be yummy delight for our fish down here.

Does it matter, it's out there in public.

So what? They might be offended? Screw them, they offend me and they certainly don't care. It's a cult of death, nothing more.

[dfwgator]

That’s my point, if you give in to muslims on the Koran burning, next they will target Internet forums like this one. They will always go out of their way to find something to be outraged over, and the government will keep cowering into submission.
