Birds nest

As you all know, I've moved to New Hampshire (see earlier posts about Maple Syrup, etc.). From a culinary perspective, Hanover is a healthy chef's paradise; it is the land of organic vegetables from the farm stand, locally-raised meat from the farm in the next town, and fresh-baked bread from one of several local bakeries. A few of our friends raise their own animals for eggs and meat, and absolutely everyone has a vegetable garden. It is a place filled with wholesome, fresh, healthy goodness everywhere you look.

So... imagine my surprise when I encountered THIS at the Hanover Street Fest:

This is a Bird's Nest. It is a hard-poached egg in a nest of greasy sausage. It was so horrifying and yet so alluring... and it smelled *great*, especially after all that healthy organic tree-hugger food I've been forced to eat lately.

Kerry ate four.

So here's the challenge for Dietz (or any of my fellow grease-loving foodie friends): make this at home. The sausage was NOT just a patty shaped around an egg. Rather, someone had painstakingly molded sausage into a hollowed-out egg shape, then filled the center with an egg. The egg was cooked perfectly. You could pick the whole half-egg shape up and eat it by hand... sort of like a deviled egg. Except... more devilish. I challenge anyone to try this at home and post the recipe.... cause I can't figure out how to make it.

Of course, this doesn't quite live up to the bacon-woven pig-fest that Dietz created back in May, but.. it seems easier, and still wicked unhealthy (as we say up here). I might even send it to thisiswhyyouarefat.com.

I am now back on my rigorous diet of mulch and dried leaves - oops, I mean Healthy Local New England Food. *sigh*
