Not me. Or Burgoo - 2 meals mentioned in that wonderfully atmospheric novel.

I see the usual STEM types are showing up here with their unutterably dumb film reviews. It never fails here.

unutterably dumb film reviews

If you are referring to me, I thought both were excellent films.

All the actors except Campbell were outstanding. The directing and cinematography were superb. And the Coen version portrayed a beautiful, gritty(!) realism superior to the original.

I wish I could get over the dialog.

Burgoo

Weird. The first time I heard that term was this morning. I was researching "Benghazi burner", a makeshift camp stove the WWII Brits in North Africa devised out of four-gallon cans. Their version was a kind of porridge made from fried tinned corned beef and crushed hardtack biscuits.

Funny thing is that I had no idea that what my Grandma made for me and my Brother all those years ago was sofkee. Didn’t learn that until after I saw the True Grit remake, and did a Google/YouTube search.

But then again, I have a habit of trying recipes for different things I hear about in movies and TV shows.

Ian Fleming’s Vesper Martini?
Yup!

Woke up (Came to) many times face down naked on the floor of my kitchen thanks to the trusty Vesper Martini.

We’re old friends.
