My neigborhood is still semi-rural so the equivalent is sold by some guy off a card table in front of his house; frequently with a sign with prices, a coffee can for money, and the honor system. The very best I've had were when my neighbor across the street grew too many this year and I bought some on the way to my mailbox (the Post Office only delivers to the other side of my street). Either he had exceptional luck this year or he just grows a fantastic tomato.AndrewVanbergenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923434958244441857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7616558788482418353.post-85205469704847702932011-01-11T21:09:42.876-05:002011-01-11T21:09:42.876-05:00I have never managed to fry tofu and make it remot...I have never managed to fry tofu and make it remotely appetizing (I usually just end up soaking it in whatever the sauce is).

It clashes with spinach, otherwise one of my favorites; after the pesto the spinach just tastes like iron. Might go with a ratatouille or other squash-tomato vegetable mix.<br /><br />BTW, Ozymandias, I thought it was really good on a sandwich of whole grain bread, sliced tomato, and pan-fried tofu.

That would definitely change the flavor but it might still be good; I think the extra pine nuts would help it keep it's consistency and mouthfeel. Or maybe replace the parmesan with sesame seeds and some nutritional yeast, but I've never experimented; good luck! Stop reading now, you will find the part for LabRat gross.<br /><br />LabRat, I usually pair it with hot or mild Italian sausage. I've never tried it with lamb, mutton or game, and I don't have any handy to experiment with, but I think it would be good; I've put in on hamburgers. It completely overpowers chicken or turkey except in small quantities, but it's tasty enough that that isn't always bad.AndrewVanbergenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923434958244441857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7616558788482418353.post-55339123590970413562011-01-11T17:03:05.962-05:002011-01-11T17:03:05.962-05:00What do you pair this with?
