A Rose by Any Other Name....
Sometimes it's not a matter of how the food tastes as is how it sounds.
A name can add a lot of enjoyment to a food. Case in point Tilslørte
Bondepike or Veiled Farm Girl, a picturesque name for a easy to prepare
and traditional Norwegian dessert. And then there's its cosmopolitan counterpart-
Avslørte Bypike or Revealed City Girl. A little bit more fancy, but basically
the same.
Some foods I always thought were a matter of imagination until I recently
came across the recipe for Nail Soup. This is a variation of Stone soup,
the childrens' story. Same recipe only difference is the starter, nails
instead of stones. Or perhaps I should say the non-added starter.
Nail Soup 8 potatoes,4
leeks,6 cups water,3 tlb butter,salt,pepper. Clean and Slice potatoes.
cook to a soft mash. Clean leeks,cut into strips.Boil together 15 minutes.
Add seasoning and butter.
