I believe that John’s thumb is covering what comes after “horse”…maybe a misspelling like “house special”….I don’t think we’re talking Black Beauty here or Mine that Bird.

Victoria wins! This is indeed the menu from Yakitori Jinbei (address and phone number in the AccessAtlanta listings). It is one of my favorite restaurants in the metro area for an honest Japanese lunch. I had a bowl of kitsune soba — buckwheat noodles in a seasoned dashi broth topped with sheets of fried tofu. My friend had a toro rice bowl — a big mound of minced fatty tuna and raw quail egg over rice with slivers of nori, which was an incredible deal for $10 and change.
Do they serve horse. Um, nooooo….they serve “horse mackerel,” also known as aji. (Gene called that one.) I was covering up the menu. So, please, don’t go looking for Trigger fingers.
Horsemeat, however, is eaten in Japan. I once tried thin curls of freshly slivered frozen raw horse loin, called “basashi,” to be dipped in ponzu sauce. I don’t recall the flavor as much as the singular sensation of the raw meat melting on the tongue.
Victoria: I have your choice of these fabulous gift prizes:
1. A set of measuring spoons with a Perdue (chicken, not Sonny) logo.
2. A scented candle with a Levitra logo. (I don’t believe it actually contains the drug, but then I’ve never tried to light the candle.)
Please send me an email and we can arrange shipment.
Thanks for all your guesses. We have to play this game again.

John — I meant to compliment your article in Cooking Light a few months ago, on Belle Chevre in Alabama. And I was reminded to, this weekend, because I found the goat cheese in CostCo of all places.

What is your email address? Rather than those amazing gifts that you would have to package up to send, how about giving me a recipe? When I was a kid in Indiana, a neighbor mom made the most wonderful cheesecake. It was not creamy as in loaded with cream cheese. It was dryer like maybe she used ricotta? Any suggestions? Thanks!
