So soon? already? Well, folks lets hope that BDL's guess is correct. I have heard of a Royal Sub, but don't remember what was on it either. well, we shall wait for a response from LollaRossa to confirm BDL's stumpedness. In the meantime, great answer on the blood tofu. Assuming it's correct, sounds gnarly. I would try it, maybe like it and never make it. (course I might order it every chance i got).

So here's the question shall we call BDL stumped and kill the thread OR do we let BDL present a challenge of his own to his stumper? Let these two go head to head in a who knows what who when where kinda thing? or call it dead and done?

I personally vote Head to Head, ( a q&a showdown, Lolla gets 5 questions, BDL gets 5 questions and the one with the most correct answers win (in the case of a tie, OahuAmatuerChef will eat a cockroach instead of Tilapia )) and if BDL wins let the stumping continue. If he loses well...Let the thread die and just let BDL respond to what interests him as before.


Remember, it's all n fun and I don't want any hard feelings over a friendly challenge.

So who votes what? AND TO ALL YOU LURKERS OUT THERE, MAN UP OR WOMEN UP OR WHATEVER, GET INVOLVED PEOPLE

Royal Sub. Meats are Italian Sausage and Cappicola. Could be regional...not quite sure. It's what I grew up with.

BDL will probably pwn me in this lil contest......but if he is up for a head to head, best out of five, I am game......and I have been in this biz for tooooooooo long to take things personal.

natto. Yes, fermented soy bean paste. Natto smells like essence of old socks and wet forest, tastes like mushrooms once it gets past your nose. More than anything else it's an old peoples' health food breakfast, but surprisingly good with chopped ika or maguro in a temaki. FWIW, the traditional accompaniment is Japanese hot mustard (not wasabi).

Me likee.

BDL

I'll wait a little longer before giving the answers and enough background to make them interesting. Almost all of the answers given have either been right as far as they went, or better than right. "With my mouth," indeed.
