Oh, it is. I’m going to be using some this weekend to liven up some apple-roasted pork tenderloins

Agreed! I want to buy some so that I can replicate it. Hmmm…

You’re at it again, the food hype thing

“Pho sucks”

“I hate gravy that is incorrect”

“Salted caramel sucks”

“You dont know what authentic tacos….. “

This reminds me of the best Jewish deli I ever frequented: Corky and Lenny’s in Cleveland Heights. Their chopped chicken liver sandwich was _da bomb_—silky, onion-sweet, just enough schmaltz to make you forget your cardiologist’s warning.

The rest of the menu was a festival of deli greatness: towering corned beef and pastrami sandwiches on rye, matzo ball soup with basketball-size matzo balls, knishes that could double as catcher’s mitts, latkes crisped to golden perfection, smoked whitefish, lox and bagels, rugelach, and giant dill pickles.

I was devastated to learn they finally [closed in 2023](https://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/2023/12/corky-and-lennys-closes-after-67-years-in-business.html)—67 years of corned-beef glory gone—though I haven’t set foot in Cleveland for forty years. Time flies, but the memory of that chopped chicken liver sandwich make me want to time-travel back to Cedar Center.

Dammit, I haven’t had chopped chicken liver in decades and now I want some! When I lived in Boston there was a sandwich shop downtown where I could get a damn fine chopped chicken liver sandwich.

Just mustard and horseradish sauce for condiments on a Rueben
