Fail!<br /><br />Cereal, venison, packzis, fish, fudge, and cherries would've all been appropriate.metricheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08160603323000839703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3412583847145043520.post-39843804337491711482011-01-20T01:38:34.210-07:002011-01-20T01:38:34.210-07:00Fair enough.

As a post-script, the post inspired a very CA central coast-ish dinner last night, which was brussel sprouts sauteed with garlic, a leek and some bread crumbs, with a bottle of wine, and now we feel awful and smell bad in exactly the way one would in parts of northern Santa Cruz county. Sadly, we couldn't find ollaleberry pie.marcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3412583847145043520.post-2068109687734411712011-01-19T10:58:31.694-07:002011-01-19T10:58:31.694-07:00I'm going to disagree with you on this.

They do travel there to visit the vineyards. And California alone has a wine industry that is considered competitive with France's, both in quality and quantity, by people outside the U.S.<br /><br />I'm not familiar with the Dakota dishes. Oddly, I ate lobster during my stay in Fargo.Seth Maskethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178036016555722068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3412583847145043520.post-30765801605025300592011-01-19T05:41:19.497-07:002011-01-19T05:41:19.497-07:00It'd be fun to do this for things other than f...It'd be fun to do this for things other than food.<br /><br />You like the CA choice? I see nuts more than grapes for CA. Or garlic. The wine's famous, sure. But I don't feel like grapes are really a California thing the way Lobster is for Maine, or oranges for Fla. We never had table grapes at home in LA, and I bet NYers drink more wine.<br /><br />Been to both Dakotas but never even heard of either of those dishes. Are they any good?marcnoreply@blogger.com
