OFF LEASH: On non-meat
"Off Leash" is an occasional column by Fiddler. Past columns can be found here.
It was Samuel Johnson who said that "a cucumber should be well-sliced, dressed with pepper and vinegar, and then thrown out." He is, I believe, correct, and I would further extend that claim to any and all vegetables including, but not limited to, carrots and potatoes.
The same goes for pancakes, which I recently and regrettably sampled. They were being prepared on the stove in a fashion similar to chicken. I thought, not unreasonably, that they might likewise be delectable. I was wrong.
I immediately spat out the flour-and-egg concoction and looked up with an expression that could only be interpreted thusly: Bring on the sausages.
