I think I ate Weinersnitzel and pom fritas about 9 days straight when I went to Germany lol. Funny story behind that I will share sometime.

Django, asparagus in season here also but I prefer gewurztraminer.

Gewürztraminer is fine, too. Have you tried Edelzwicker? I guess, you would like it, too.

Not familiar with that varietal, will look for some and give it a try. Thanks.

ROFL I love talking food. Peoples tastes are so different. I am about as picky as they come, but can't imagine not eating biscuits and gravy or corned beef hash or grits. (you can keeo the Crawfish..more bait)

And I'm not eating anything but the steak at Nortoons house with a cup of hot tea please. You can have all the wine and whatever Reisling is. Never acquired the taste for alcohol.

Here in Germany the asparagus season is starting right now and a Riesling would complement very well.

However, you shouldn't ride after a bottle of Riesling (to be on topic Smile )

Your asparagus is white. That is probably lighter tasting than the green asparagus here. Like the Hollandaise sauce!

All my day rides end about 5PM as Penny expects me home early for supper. Actually it was my four brothers and three sisters that taught me not to be late for supper or there might not be anything left.

I ride the back roads in cottage country where there are no swanky restaurants. So having a glass of wine with a burger and fries is unlikely. Although I have been known to drive well off my planned route for a A&W Teen Burger and frosty mug of root beer.

Ketchup enhances anything it touches.

Weird, huh? Smile

Despite our 6 month winters here, I keep my BBQ in the garage so I can grill all year long. Nothing smells better than a couple of thick rib steaks on the cold winter air. Even the coyotes in the bush down the street agree. They start yapping about 10 minutes after I start.

This has been has been our TGIF supper for decades: crusty buns warmed in the oven, Caesar salad, caramelized onions, pan fried button mushrooms, rib steaks grilled medium rare, and a bottle of Beaujolais. A little extra has been added lately, Quebec goat cheese with maple syrup flavouring. Place a good chunk on the side of your plate, mush your fork into it, stab a good forkful of salad, and enjoy the garlic taste of the salad followed by the creamy taste of the cheese and maple syrup.

My other favourite is thick lamb chops. Three minutes a side leaves them medium rare. The coyotes also approve. Potatoes cut in chunks, lightly boiled, then brushed with butter, lightly sprinkled with salt and pepper, and browned in the oven using the broil setting. Brussel sprouts or asparagus with cheese sauce, and a bottle of hearty Italian Merlot.

Never had any luck with salmon. It stuck to the grill, tin foil, cedar plank, etc. Finally gave up and have Penny bake it. She uses a lightly greased piece of parchment paper in a rectangular ceramic pan. With the skin side down, she brushes the top with maple syrup with a touch of soya sauce added. 20 to 25 minutes leaves it moist and flakey. Served with skin and gray fat removed, a side of steamed fried rice, and a bottle of German Riesling.

I remove the skin first. An oil based marinade and brushing the grill with canola oil helps to prevent sticking. Even with all that I still lose about 10% through the grates, lol.

Der weiße Spargel! I'm very envious!

There's no doubt Nortoon is the bona fide foodie 'round these parts. Those gourmet meals sound incredible! Mrs. Futterman agrees that a quality German Riesling is her favorite wine, especially when paired with any dinner items.

I thought this thread was about places to eat when we're riding. Speaking of which, I am working on a list of eateries in Eureka Springs and along some of the routes folks are likely to ride. Yet another reason for people to join us!! http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8988

I've ridden by Mollys Tavern in New Boston, NH many times so I finally decided to stop for lunch. It's a popular place for riders so it seems.



I ordered the Cannon Burger: cheese, bacon, onion rings and chipotle sauce. It was good. Smile
