National Wiener Schnitzel Day

What exactly is Wiener Schnitzel, aka wienerschnitzel? Simply put per Wikipedia it is a very thin, breaded and pan fried cutlet made from veal. It is one of the best known specialties of Viennese cuisine and is a national dish of Austria. It is also a common dish to Germany. The History of Wienerschnitzel enlightens us with the origin of Wiener Schnitzel neither being German nor Austrian."

Awakenings: All 'Bout The 'Choke

Awakenings: All 'Bout The 'Choke | Human Interest | Scoop.it
Some foods are just good. Others fall within the classification scrumptious. There are even some you might call exciting. But what do you say about the artichoke? It's a vegetable with arching, deeply lobed, silvery, glaucous-green leaves (according to Wikepedia, that is). People who cook with culinary flair (Food Network, for example) say the artichoke 'goes great in just about anything and dazzles on its own as well. Use it in panzanella salad, pasta and more tasty dishes." What do you think?

All 'Bout The 'Choke: Did you know the artichoke is a member of the sunflower family? You don't eat seeds, instead it's the bulb that's edible before it blossoms. Artichokes may be boiled, baked, steamed, grilled, deep fried, and stuffed with all sorts of yummy fillings. Check out the recipes for today...

Corned Beef and Cabbage Day

Via Sharla Shults
Skuuppilehdet's insight:
Corned beef and cabbage is a most fitting menu item for St. Patrick's Day! It is interesting to note, however, that this is yet another American-based tradition. Today in Ireland, this foodie combination is geared toward tourist consumption. Most Irish do not identify corned beef and cabbage as native cuisine to Ireland!
