Let's taco 'bout it!
- Sharon has been drinking a lot of Ginger Tea from Traditional Medicinals--it has a little milder flavor. Winter made these Teriyaki Meatballs made with grass-fed Aussie Beef--yum!
- We're talking holidays meats (kinda like a summer sausage that you can get at the mall each Christmas time).
- We talked a little bit about Thanksgiving and one of the most popular holiday birds, the turkey, last year on this episode.
- Alexander Hamilton believed no person should be without turkey on Thanksgiving. Sarah Hale, writer and poet, is considered the godmother of Thanksgiving, because she romanticized the turkey in her book Northwood.
- The Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens talks about the roast goose.
- Hank Shaw who writes at Hunter Angler Gardener Cook and the book, Duck Duck Goose, speaks about how lovely the goose is and how you have to cook it (2 different temperatures: 135 degrees F and 165 degrees F). By the way, goose is quite expensive.
- Sharon has gifted Winter and Lee duck fat before.
- Goose was an integral part of a Jewish household before WWII, because of the schmaltz, according to the book Rhapsody in Schmaltz.
- Prime rib is a very Las Vegas tradition starting at the casino Last Frontier's Ramona Room for $1.50. (But if you're in Salt Lake City, Fiddler's Elbow and MacCool's Public House has prime rib for brunch.)
- Feast of the Seven Fishes is an AMERICAN-Italian Christmas Eve tradition, that I'd be down for. There's no hard fast rules on how many seafood dishes that are served. Baccala, a salted cod, and eel are common.
- There's a ham belt and climate plays a part as discussed with Cristiano Creminelli.
- Ham was cured for spring specifically Easter, then it eventually got included during Christmas time. There are City Hams (wet brine) and Country Hams (dry cured).
- Dwight Kalb made a sculpture of Madonna (the singer) and sent it to David Letterman.
- Deep-fried turkey--ordered online (not done in our own homes!).
- The Food Fight listener and her husband have different hunger levels when it's time to eat.
