Chef, I need some advice

Postby Corey Rossen » Fri Apr 04, 2008 8:42 am

My wife keeps offering to serve me up a nice dish when I get home late from work for so many nights in a row. I want to accompany the dish and show her that I care, but I can't seem to find what pairs well with a knuckle sandwich. Any advice?

Richards Wild Irish Rose or MD 20/20 would probably enhance that flavor well.

A forty "zone" of Old English will do very nicely, too :D

You're going way back here......But a favorite old German/East European dish was indeed pigs knuckles. They are frequently served with kraut and boiled potatoes (or potato pancakes).

They are pretty heavy, and a nice cold true pilsner would go very well.

In sort of a related culinary issue, you have putting feet in your mouth. Pickled pigs feet used to be a popular "bar food", but again, have lost their popularity.

Many times, getting these feet in your mouth leads to the knuckles.

Do any of you remember when Ann Richards gave the introductions at the Democratic Convention one year she said "You know poor George, he just can't help it, he was born with a silver foot in his mouth".

I miss her madly.

The spouse who works late should be served a nice meal or snack, and a refreshing beverage in a glass, by the spouse who was home first. That is just common courtesty. it may even be in the Bible.
