Meh, reminds me of oysters. But with a little chocalate sauce it ain't bad.

Calf fry's or rocky mountain oysters or whatever you want to call em. Getting a little too personal if you know what I mean!

Best dish I have ever had in NO was the squab with dirty rice at Peristyle.


Always heard it had a great reputation, but I wasn't even into good food when it was around.

Alinea actually did call it "Pigeonneau a la St. Clair"...it was basically directly out of Escoffier's century-old recipe, but the pigeon was cooked sous vide.

Have a look-see - they even served it on dinnerware from the same time period!

That would be finished in less than a minute if it was served to me. Looks great.

I still think it was the best restaurant I have ever eaten at in NO.

I wanted to, trust me. It ain't much for each thing they bring out, so you gotta try to take your time and savor it.

I remember tasting squab at the Windsor Court years ago, that is one of those things that is so very under utilized in American cuisine.

Stella! actually had (or has) it on the menu recently, but it was breaded and fried??!! Hard to believe Boswell would do that, but...

It's extremely rare to see squab served down here, that's for sure.

I'd say, it's probably because that place did a better job of balancing cutting edge execution and New Orleans earthiness than pretty much any place else in town.

So many places here seem to try to do this, and either miss (some more so than others, of course) on one or the other.

The food we used to get there was off the wall in terms of quantity, quality, and exoticness. One purveyor threw in this free suckling pig on an order. That thing was roasted and only the cooks had it after about five hours of tender loving care.

I'll eat anything, but I don't care for pickles on anything. I love them by themselves though.

I cannot stand peanut butter and jelly.
I do love honey roasted peanuts though.

I also don't like tomatoes, but I LOVE ketchup!

When I first moved to TX everyone thought I was weird for not wanting to drown everything I ate in Ranch dressing.

raw tomatoes. but I love all tomato based sauces, etc.

on the flip side, I love raw onions on things. love onions on burgers and hot dogs. my wife isn't too pleased about that.

Although I grew up south of Houma I don't care for raw oysters. I never got the hoopla over them. I like them fried, broiled etc. just not raw.
