Strange Brew, eh?

April 1, 2014 9:34 AM

My two friends and I like trying out new recipes, the stranger the better. However, we’ve run across a tricky one, and we’re having trouble tracking down some very specific ingredients. Where can we legally obtain Nose of Turk, Tartar’s Lips, and the finger of a birth-strangled babe? Also, related: what specifically does a Jew have to say in order to have blasphemed?

If a Jew is on the set of that well-known Scottish play, saying its name would be blasphemy enough.

I think you're taking this whole "What am I, chopped liver?" shtick a little too seriously.

You can get most of that stuff at Trader Joe's, I think.

Wear gloves - some of that stuff will really stain your hands!

I guess I'm a boring, unadventurous Midwestern provincial when it comes to fusion cuisine, but those recipes are just plain weird, sister!

When will you three meet again? Because some of this stuff can be ordered, but shipping takes forever.

Standard blasphemy is along the lines of "That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah."
