I have only one quibble with KWs review of Mr. Pickles (well, besides the fact that she gave it 2 and a half stars when her review makes it sound as if it's more like two stars), I fucking hate the word "unctuous"! Even writing it gives me the shivers. But I understand because it's hard to think of varied food adjectives to use. Here's a definition in case you need one
unctuous \UNGK-choo-us\, adjective:
1. Of the nature or quality of an unguent or ointment; fatty; oily; greasy.
2. Having a smooth, greasy feel, as certain minerals.
3. Insincerely or excessively suave or ingratiating in manner or speech; marked by a false or smug earnestness or agreeableness.

At least she didn't use "offal."
That word has no place in a deli review.

What's wrong with the word "offal"?
-m
it's awful! da dum ching (that's a rimshot)!
of·fal ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ôfl, fl)
n.
1. Waste parts, especially of a butchered animal.
2. Refuse; rubbish.

Now that I've eaten some glands in the form of sweetbreads, I'm eager to eat more and more offal. Mmm..offal. I'm so hungry!
Oh, I think of offal as being "tasty by-products" not "waste parts," but I still don't know if you object to variety meats, or the word, "offal." Either way I want to know which deli in Sac sell variety meats!

My boss recently gave me a copy of a "Variety Meats" cookbook because she had two copies! The endpapers of this book are priceless. Lots of hearts/gizzards/livers scattered about, interspersed with meat grinders.
Great term, Variety Meats. Who thought that one up? It's so happy.

Offal is waste. Variety meats aren't being wasted, so I don't think they are offal.
I don't think people should eat offal, but go for the head cheese, if that's your jam.

Oh, I always thought that variety meats and offal were one and the same. It still seems pretty subjective as to what is what, though. Like if you eat it instead of tossing it, it becomes one rather than the other.
For me, some of the stuff seems more edible than others. Like tongues or livers, for instance, are delicious and easy to eat. Whereas, the time I ordered duck feet, I just couldn't figure which part to eat. I tried nibbling at it, but nothing budged.

I had some stewed duck feet once, but there was indeed meat on mine. Not much, ok, but it was really good. Then there were those bbq chicken feet at the peep off this year... yipes. Nothing budged at all on those. It was like chewing on my own toes. I will never get the image of little Luc Kaiser (sp?) chewing on one, out of my mind.

Ms Beckler, I totally concur, dood, about "unctious." It is the tinfoil on your fillings, fingernails on the blackboard of words. It makes "greasy" sound like a good word.
Fuck Unctious and the whore that brought it here.

How about Stewed Horse Stomach.It was served at my wedding and after a few sho chuu`s was quite awesome they was also shark fin soup.Anyfolks like Akira Kurosawa?Check out Madadayo where the main guy in the film is buying horse meat as an old horse stares him down..I would feel guilty about eating horse if that happened to me.Also in korea i ate spicy intestines and crunchy insects that looked like meal worms.Hell-- ya can get a bowl of crunchy insects from vendors on the street.Last night a tourist didn`t believe me that you can buy a gigantic whore/hostess house shopping magazine at the local yuppie book store called tsutaya.So i should him the stack of naughties..In japan all that is supposed to illegal but it operates in the grey area of japanese law.Last night was Tanabata--lots of sweaty drunks and cops keeping control.So happy tanabata...jay san--who likes Elf Power?
How does she review Mr. Picckles and not have the garlic sauce? That's what makes their sandwiches diferent. It's like reviewing In-N-Out and not having the sauce. I'm baffled.
2 stop eat
