Well I guess we could. We'll be lenient and count as many entries as possible. Besides, it refers to a place and not to Rocky, our dear friend. [Razz]

Sorry Rocky. Anyway, I bet you're as delectable as Jerry's rocky road ice cream. ;P

Alsatian pudding
Lady Baltimore Cake (with fruit between the layers, along with frosting)
Rome apples (as in Rome, Ohio. Never see this variety around anymore. Too bad. My mom used to bake them. No pastry involved, just sugar, spice, and raisins in the space where the core was removed. They were glorious.)
Eccles Cakes (for you Anglophiles out there)

You know, I don't think I've ever heard of this before. What's a KC strip steak? And why do I want it, though I have no clue what it is?
 
Posted by Set on :
 
Despite the name, Cobie, strip steak has nothing to do with strip clubs.
 
Posted by Kent Shakespeare on :
 
[LOL]

Cobie, it's one you see on steakhouse menus now and again, but perhaps not as much as one used to.

"Eggs on the Jersey side" (like in that Louis Jordan song) is supposed to mean "Eggs Sunnyside up."

You learn all kinds of good stuff in this thread! I don't usually order eggs sunnyside up, but if I do, now I've got some slang to sling.

Apparently it's just an alternate name for New York Strip.
 
Posted by Cobalt Kid on :
 
Aw, really? I like NY Strip, but KS Strip doesn't sound as cool. I was hoping it meant some new way of cooking steak I'd never heard of before.
 
Posted by Eryk Davis Ester on :
 
I suspect it's meant to sound more authentically "Western".

I used to be grossed out at the thought of wet yolk. But there are so many good breakfast places (with fabulous breads) around here that I've learned to eat over easy and poached, at least on occasion. You can't dip breadcrust in an over hard or scrambled egg, after all.

Over-easy has always been my favorite since I was a kid. Mainly because you can dip your toast into it. That childish thrill has not left me. [Big Grin]

La Paz batchoy - a noodle soup garnished with pork innards, crushed pork cracklings, chopped vegetables, and topped with a raw egg. Another dish with the same name uses misua, beef heart, kidneys and intestines, but does not contain eggs or vegetables (taken from Wikipedia!). La Paz is a place in Iloilo province, Philippines.
