Yorki

I have some horribly dull eating habits. Habits that include boxes, cans, plastic tubs. It makes me happy, because sometimes real cooking is too hard, and a girl has to eat.
I have another quirky food habit: I like to tinker. I like to play with my food. I stop well short of Ferran AdriĆ , though. I will not force you to smell burning juniper sprigs while you burst fake caviar pellets in your mouth, chin dripping with foam.
But I like to play.
This sushi is made from Yorkshire pudding, a drizzle of horseradish/sour cream, and topped with a tender slice of leftover prime rib. (What a great time of year for leftovers!)
It was good, and a lot of fun. But I think I'd really rather have a roast beef sandwich.
Cute, though!

If someone else is making them, I think I'd prefer this to a sandwich. If it's my effort? ;-)

Beautiful English Sushi (but how on earth do you manage leftover yorkshire pud?).

Kailyn: It was very "cocktail party."

Mouse: We usually manage to eat it all, but there was so much. And -- leftover yorkshire pud is not as good as fresh. :(

Susan: And Happy New Year to you! I was *literally* combing through your blog the very instant your comment arrived. Whoo!

That's brilliant. Wish I had that over here. We ate all our steak last night (big eaters invited to dinner) and there's just a puddle of soup left. Just saw your truck food comment - are we channeling again?

Zoomie: I was tickled to see your post on truck food! Funny.
That beef sushi is beautiful, isn't it? But it didn't "eat" beautiful; can't Asian up that stuff.

Zoomie said...

Maybe if you tried some ginger with the beef?

Zoomie said...

Oh, and the penny just dropped on "yorki." All that champagne, you know...

cookiecrumb said...

Zoomie: No, I meant you don't want to Asian it up. Just a silly experiment.
Hey, thanks for the yorki penny. I should have called it nigiri yorki. :)
