Lox is the Jewish bacon

[chanaleh]

Nothing like working a 12-hour day... on a fast day (yesterday). I think it makes up for all the slacking I was doing coming in well after 10am for the past, like, two months while my various shows were going up. I also fear there are a lot more of these in store for me this July, due to a major new work project... and that I'm going to earn every

Lox flavored ice cream is available at Max & Mina's on Main Street in Flushing, Queens in New York.

Is lox different from gravlax? I was considering that to be lox flavored ice cream.

NPR mentioned a place in Wasilla, AK making lox flavored vodka. They started using it in bloody marys and then it got way popular.

When cooking for Jews, I often use smoked salmon where I would otherwise use bacon. I make a great pasta carbonara with smoked salmon and spinach that's...something I should do again soon, actually!

[gilana]

Now you just need a Jew to cook it for! Can I volunteer? :)

[bedfull_o_books]

Heck for that I would consider converting.... :-p

Indeed, just what was missing! Let me know when.

And then I also have to share my story of how you can tell Ireland doesn't have many Jews (only about 40,000, I've subsequently learned).

We were in Denmark with a couple who hail from Cork (him) and Catalonia (her). At the first breakfast buffet, all the food was labelled and I noticed that the word for salmon is "laks". I mentioned to the others that it would be easy to remember and they looked blankly at me and asked "Why?"

When I was visiting my mother for Mother's Day she asked me what I wanted in the house and I said "smoked salmon."

"Do you mean 'lox?'"

"I didn't know you spoke Norwegian!"

I take it you've never had salmon jerky? If you ever have the opportunity (I did when we went to Alaska), try it. It takes like bacon made out of fish.

[bedfull_o_books]

Mmmm. Salmon jerky.....

Now I crave some. Darn it.

[halleyscomet]

Whole Paycheck normally has some.

[bedfull_o_books]

I think I've seen it a Trader Joe's too, come to think of it. (TJ's is closer to me now....)

I wonder if flash deep frying would get lox to crunchy?
