When I was a kid, I used to throw things. I definitely would have thrown this.

one more vote for the hilariously ironic misspelling of this thread's title

The addition of ground sumac, a true Lebanese seasoning, could also add more depth and complexity to these, not to mention authenticity.

omg please proofread

Every post on Serious Eats should be held to this standard. Absolutely impeccable. Chichi, I am falling madly in love with you :)

I find it ironic and rather entertaining. Kudos!

@hmw & @sally: you two are the only ones on the right track. E.coli, for one, is a bacterium that becomes heat-stable (or heat-labile), which makes it resistant to boiling if left to ferment. There are several other types of bacteria that work the same way in raw meat, which is why, even if you cook spoiled raw meat to well-done, it will still make you sick.

I think it's not so much a function of how high a temperature you bring it to, but more how old the marinade is and whether it's been treated like raw meat itself. It can spoil really fast!

It's all science, guys!

You did yourself a favor, Grimaldi's is weak. Do yourself a favor and go to Keste or Motorino next time.

I had volcanic "bathroom" issues every time I ate cheese, milk, and eggs for about 8 years. I took Lactaid, but it did absolutely nothing. Then I read John Sarno's book, "The Mindbody Prescription: Healing the Body, Healing the Pain". Turns out I just absolutely hated my life, and in order to not have to face it my mind created a physical ailment to keep me distracted.

After 2 years of psychotherapy, I can now eat anything I want - especially goat's milk, manchego, and omelettes with Brie... :)

Sporadic lactose intolerance is not necessarily "lactose intolerance". Make sure your **mind** is ok!

My Colombian friend's mom once made me a sudado, with beef, yucca, morcilla and a bunch of other amazing ingredients. To this day I have had nothing like it. I wish I could make it!

I recently tried my hand at making authentic al-Kabsa, and it was... ok (I need to practice!). Now I want to know everything about Saudi cooking, or even any Middle-Eastern nomadic cooking traditions. I love dried limes and pomegranate powder!

Please take down the signs for produce that you no longer have available. Asking 12 different, increasingly more clueless workers about the current availability of ramps is pretty annoying.

Also, if the checkout girl could restrain herself from holding up every single item in my basket, one by one, and asking "what is THIS?!", that just be great. They're parsnips. You sell them. It's not like I'm trying to buy a snow shovel or pajama pants.
