| Some of the really funny reviews: cookertas from Shelton, WA on 01/09/06 Can I prepare this in advance and freeze it for later use? Should I freeze the water and the salt separately? Since it rains here all the time, can I use the water that's piled up on my flat roof, or do I have to use the "forspecial" water from the sink thingy? I hear some people in fancy cities who don't have to wear boots to get to their trucks actually BUY water in bottles (HA! That's funny! Pull the other one!) and if you think I'm going to go along with that scam, well think again! I know what "Evian" spelled back'ards is! diningd on 01/04/06 I made this for my husband last night and he licked his bowl clean! duncans from Tighnabruaich, Argyll, Scotland on 11/27/05 That’s pure brilliant, by the way! I hud bin champion ‘o’ the Tighnabruaich Highland Games fer the last 10 year. That is until Hamish McWhirter stole ma title last summer. To regain ma crown I’ve had tae resort tae a strict oatmeal-only diet. Unfortunately, I’ve been huvin’ a wee bit ae a problem swallowin’ handfuls ‘o’ the stuff which is awfy dry and sticks in yer throat. I tried chasin’ it wae a wee dram, but there’s ony so much whisky a mon can drink, ye ken? So in desperation ah flung some oatmeal in tae that Epicurious recipe and lo and behold it turned in tae a delicious glutinous appetizing dinner, can ye believe it! Thanks Epicurious. I’ll be tossin’ ma caber fer years tae come. nefer-teary from karnak on 07/03/02 The ritual embalming process of us ancient egyptians utilized some of the best saline secrets that are only now being uncovered, so to speak. Might want to consider adding a little frankinsense and myrhh to the recipe. A Cook from Washington, DC on 07/10/02 I too, did something wrong. I thought I'd try to give it a smoky flavor, and attempted to make this one on the grill. Big mistake! The coals went out, and the water evaporated. Unless you're an expert, don't substitute/add/delete any steps. A Cook from Louisiana on 07/11/02 I left this to boil for a couple of hours - the recipe didn't really specify. Well, someone in my family must have really loved it, because when I went back to check, the pot was totally empty!! The guilty party won't 'fess up, but I'll definately make it again! A Cook from AZ on 07/15/02 How perfect! My in-laws are very picky eaters. At last, I've found a dish with ingredients that won't offend them. This will become a staple in our house! |
