Fabulous!! You’re a genius (also a gem of a hot-threader). Between the Spam engelee and this post, you’re smokin', Pat!

. And, who could forget SPAM? Not exactly unique to Minnesota, but certainly invented in Minnesota. If you haven’t been, the SPAM museum is quite a hoot if you happen to be driving near Austin, MN. http://www.spam.com/ ~TDQ

After hitting the Joseph Cornell exhibit (it was the last day, and it one was one of the best art exhibits I’ve seen in the Boston area... period) at the Peabody and Essex Museum I took a bit of a long route home on 107...

And so early in the morning too.... anyway, here’s a page from a Q & A from the Carnegie Museum of Natural History which might answer your question. Seems that some are, indeed, edible.... perish the thought. (O_O)...

It ain’t cheap and it ain’t greasy, but Puck’s at the MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) has a Weiner Schnitzel sandwich and fries that would fit the bill perfectly. I don’t remember if the Schnitzel is pork...

kids to the Corona Ice King across the street and then to the Hall of Science for a fun day. Note they have finally made the great Louis Armstrong’s house into a museum, which I think is close by. Peking Duck (Forest Hills)...

yep if you like that, you have to try budaechigae (army base stew). One of my FAVORITE things in the world to eat. Chopped up hotdogs, spam, potatoes, and other meat products that are laying around (I bet corned beef would be...

world class museums, a real down town night scene, and now they even have electricity and indoor plumbing) I very highly recommend Junsree Thai House on Magnolia Ave. A Thai family run, very friendly business. They grow most of...

Wonderbread be authentic?" absolutely. essential for an authentic 1960’s style peanut buttter and jelly sandwich. Extremely evocative (so be careful what you evoke!). Ovaltine and Spam are authentic chinese foods....

Wonki! Best wishes to you both. Start at the link I’m attaching about the Museum of Galician Bread in Madrid. This is one of my favorite “Special Reports”. Perhaps you’ve seen this report already, but this...
