Sunday, October 14, 2007 - WEEKEND COOKBOOK CHALLENGE #21

This month’s Weekend Cookbook Challenge is all about Halloween! So, what’s Halloween-ish? Pumpkin, of course. But to do pumpkin would be, to quote Nathan Detroit, like playing a favorite. So what else is Halloween? Candy, sure – but, what else?

Scary!!

Halloween is scary-time! And what’s the scariest food in my house right now? Well, as I said, I went to Karl’s Sausage Kitchen this weekend and at a good friend’s suggestion and profession of love, I bought a half of a pound of zungenwurst. Zungenwurst it tongue pieces with pork fat in blood.

I know. But, I’m willing to try anything. Here it is...

I didn’t like it. I didn’t hate it, but it left a odd, disgusting aftertaste in my mouth. My friend gets the rest tomorrow. I will also try to post something else for this months WCC.

But, come on, it IS scary.
