Dandelion Milk...

They just have different styles, nothing wrong with that, the knowledge shared is the same mostly. I wasn't looking to share any cooking advice as of yet but did think of it. I was just looking to share how amazing the dandelion is, in itself.

I can't take someone seriously when they have one of those 12.95 hollow handled 'survival' knives and a non-functional Rambo style headband.

Here is an actual outdoor gal talking about dandelions for reference.

It's fairly well known that many Japanese are Francophiles The reality may not meet their expectations though - http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/6197921.stm

The French name for dandelion is because the root is a diuretic. Our name is also from French, dent de lion (Lion's tooth) from the serrated shape of the leaves.

A simpler gesture of self-importance might be more simply inked, "I am a pretentious hipster."

(a couple of these were quite tasteful-dug the Moby Dick and the dandelion )

I do love that song "Laughter in the Rain." I mean, not love like I'd like to give it a rimjob or anything...or oral sex...not like he's Annie Lennox...but it was a happy song in a time/space continuum when I was around ten years old and more monkey than man, climbing trees and chewing on dandelion stems, scouring unlikely places for thrown-away Playboy's and Penthouses and dreaming of a secret hiding place where I could have sex with women twice my age....

This sift tastes like diabetes.

I've seen dandelions both yellow and white all my life, but I never knew how they went from one form to another.

Whiskey. Love it. A good corn (mash) whiskey has a subtle sweetness to it and the glass smells of caramel.
Belgium beer is great. New Belgium's Lips of Faith (Dandelion, Wild Ale) is the best around.
And a good Zinfindel is bliss.
I just started smoking again.


I don't think I'll ever grow to like whiskey, but beligum beer sounds tempting. Just watched "In Bruges" again these days. I don't know how easy it'll be to get it, since german beer is pretty dominant here in Germany, apart from the commercial foreign brews such as Heineken, but I'll definitely try.

After watching more videos on tasting menus I have come to appreciate what they are. I guess I more rail against the restaurants that serve up tiny dishes as THE meal... no large number of courses.

I would have been there in a flash if I were anywhere near Vancouver!

I've discovered a highly regarded restaurant which does tasting menus a couple of hours from me... one day I shalst go.

Good luck, hope it goes well.

No dandelion petal unfortunately, but each course will only be a few bites.

Then again, it is 12 courses, not just 3 or 4

Sorry, have to downvote. It was a reflex reaction when they showed mcdonalds with fine dining over it. Want to see american fine dining? Try Alinea or MOTO or The French Laundry, or WD-50, or any of a hundred different places. America actually does have a cuisine. STFU. Fucking big mac. Argh.

I just watched the Alinea video, and while I'm sure the food is delicious, I HATE that form of cuisine...
"Here is your main meal sir"
"Where?"
"There sir, on the plate"
"I can see a flower petal on a stick"
"Yes sir, that is your meal, a dandelion petal infused with Yak butter broth, perched delicately atop a reduction of baby seal flipper, drizzled with aioli and ground camel hoof."
"Well, that sounds great, but I think I'll eat that in, erm, one, maybe two mouthfuls"
"Ahh, but of course, you just need to order another 18 courses sir"
"This one cost me $45 on its own!"
"Is sir a cheapskate?"
"No, but I do need to pay the bills"
"I scoff at you sir... scoff"

Really, a complete wank... I enjoy good food, I enjoy food with great presentation, but I can NEVER come at food where the portion sizes are so insanely small that even after a 3 or 4 course meal you're left empty. I don't suggest just going to a steakhouse and getting the largest damn slab o' meat you can, but come on, I go out to EAT not to sample.
