Pork Neck Pie
The pie looks amazing on camera, doesn’t it? Photogenic food. I got a lot of positive feedback on the pictures, and they are great shots. My concern is that the pie itself doesn’t quite measure up. Don’t get me wrong—it’s a damn good pie. It’s essentially cost-effective pulled pork in a portable format that looks fantastic.
Winterlicher Schweineeintopf (Low Cal)
Here's what you need to know about the dish. It's filling while low calorie. The final version, not the one depicted in the video, lands at 256 calories per portion. It's really decent on a cold day.

New Year’s Black Eyed Peas

Whiskey Pecan Pralines
What we call Pralines came to this country, like most “Merkin” foods, via Europe. In the case of Pralines, it was the French who make sort of almond brittle they call pralines. I’m not really certain what the difference is between that and a classic nougatine is now that I think about it, but it doesn’t really matter. Think about the different origin stories for the Joker. It’s like that. Similar, but different.
