Learning how to pronounce “Flaeskeaeggekage” is probably more difficult than learning how to make this delicious dish.

One regret I have is not having discovered Kotlety Pozharskie prior to now. These Russian ground chicken cutlets are out of this world delicious! This couldn’t be simpler to prepare. You make the cutlets by mixing ground chicken, milk soaked bread, butter, and salt and pepper. Shape the mixture into cutlets, and then roll in breadcrumbs. Fry these delicacies in butter, and the results are incredibly moist and juicy cutlets!

Korean Fried Chicken is also known as KFC. I love that! I also love this CRISPY, sweet, spicy, and garlicky fried chicken (Yangnyeom Dak). It’s definitely finger lickin’ good. 🙂

Eggs Benedict

Eggs Benedict is probably my favorite breakfast. If you have not had Eggs Benedict, you are seriously missing out! It is heaven on the plate. Toasted English muffin, topped with amazing Canadian bacon, and a runny egg. Last but not least the creme de la creme utterly delicious sauce called Hollandaise, which is lemony and buttery, is poured or spooned over.

The base for the Eggs Benedict is the toasted English muffin. I have been eating English muffins for years, not always as part of Eggs Benedict. On other occasions I’ve had them on their own with butter, as part of an egg and bacon breakfast sandwich, etc.

Thomas’ English Muffin

I was delighted to learn that Thomas’ English muffins is actually one of the foods listed in the book 1,000 Foods To Eat Before You Die, by Mimi Sheraton. It became #15 in my quest to try each and every one of the foods in the book. Of course I had had this one before, so the Thomas’ English muffins was an easy one to knock off on my list.

Tarragon Chicken and mashed potatoes

Can I please say at the beginning of this post, do not be afraid of the butter. 🙂

Tarragon

Tarragon

Tarragon is a lovely herb. It tastes a bit like licorice, and also has a licorice/aniseed aroma. We have some growing in our herb garden, and it grows like crazy! It has a very fascinating history, and was used by the Greeks and the Arabs as early as 500 BC. Allegedly at that time it was called “Dragon Mugwort.” The French call tarragon “estragon” which means “little dragon.” Therefore, poulet a l’estragon translates as chicken with tarragon.

Marmite and Vegemite

I was first introduced to the taste of Marmite when I was living in England. No, I didn’t eat Marmite from the jar (can’t imagine doing that!). snacked on Twiglets which are coated with a savory yeast extract that tastes like Marmite. Twiglets are so named because they look like twigs.
