    Great show and guest. I like the guy and just might have to look into his book in the future. QOTD: Reduced ice wines into a syrup, then tossed in with a bunch of rice crispies. I dont know if that would even work……just call me a mad scientist!

    QOT: My favourite pie? So here is my grandma’s recipe I’m making public since our Lord has called her: Take a couple of fresh frogs, tear off their legs and put them (the legs) into a mortar together with: some spiders, flies and whatever you can catch in your cellar, bedroom or anywhere else, add some jalapeño chillies, nam plaa sauce from Thailand and palm sugar. Mix well together and wrap it up with pizza pastry. Put it in the oven until a delicious odour is filling the room.

    QOTD: In England I had a lamb and mint meat pie, right outside Windsor Castle, which was killer. Now that I don’t eat meat I guess my first choice would be a Chicken pot pie minus the chicken.

    I love New Zealand wines, love them. I just get worried about producers catering their wines to the American palate. They need to do what they do best, and that is let the terroir dictate the wine.

    I would like a “pot roast” style beef and gravy with vegetables – potatos, carrots, celery, onions.

    QOTD: Goat cheese, truffles, and duck

    That was a great show Gary and Eric. Love NZ. Nice when you have guests and they come up with great questions of the day!
    Speaking of which, QOTD: Foie Gras with leaks, truffles and morels in a red wine reduction sauce.
    That could be kinda tricky but if someone could pull it off I bet it’d be great.

    Hey, any wine called “Scott” can’t be all that bad!!

    Its always a great show when a guest is on! Not that we dont think your great Gary ; )

    QOTD: How about chocolate, marshmallows and crushed graham crackers?….butter and dough wrapped around pretty much anything tastes good!

    I dream of a meat pie filled with blood sausage and baked apples and pears.

    And I would like to sell them from a cart under the Pulaski Skyway or anywhere in the vicinity of Co-op City.

    Very interesting…will consider purchasing the book in the future.

    Awesome show, but many Australians are going to argue that those meat pies are about as Australian a food as you can get.

    QOTD: My favourite pie fillings are kangaroo and red wine and also King Island Camembert (yes Gary same blokes who make the Roaring 40s) and cauliflower – especially good if bought at the bakery on King Island.

    The best meat pies in NZ are made in a town about midway between Arthurs Pass and Christchurch. The owner of the bakery makes the pies herself, and I would eat anything she puts in a pie.

    QOTD: honestly, some kind of prosuitto with beet relish, a menstrual fluid reduction, and breast milk cheese, maybe just a little pickled baby poo

    Great show Eric and Gary. I like guests. I am going to go to New Zealand… someday.

    QOTD: Spinach, Feta cheese and onions.

    Greetings from New Zealand, What a great episode. I’m really looking forward to reading Eric’s book. I hear the chapter about the
    bar brawls is spot on – having been punched out in a Marlborough bar myself!

    Like you, NZers are over the overtly grapefruit tasting Sav Blanc. Try pairing the meat pie with some wine from the Hawkes Bay next time. I can see I’m going to have to send you some myself.

    regards

    I think your Digg this! button is broken. I’m running Firefox/2.0.0.11. As a half-kiwi, this episode has a close place in my heart, however one wine that you didn’t taste which I thought you might is 2004 Cloudy Bay sauvignon blanc. I recommend that for any occasion. As we say, get your reds from aus and your whites from the land of the long white cloud. Kia ora.

    I received Eric’s book as a present and it was funny that you had him on the show. The book was a quick read on the train to work and I highly recommend it. Plus He has love for the Cubs, you can’t beat that. GO CUBS…. GO BEARS….

    Great show! Was not really thinking about getting the book but this guys appearance on WLTV sold me.
    QOTD: Ground turkey, green and red peppers, onions, broccoli, carrots and yams.

    I would like to that Jets 1/2 football baked in a pie. What’s under the football Gary!!

    QOTD:leeks, shitake mushrooms, and blue cheese – mMMMMM

    I will have to add his book to the other 3 I am asking for from Santa!!

    People (Parker for example) don’t get why some don’t like Alsace wines. Both you and Parker have described some of those wines as smelling of Petrol. That is kerosene! So would anyone like the smell of a wine that had drops of kerosene mixed in with it?

    grilled italian hot sausage with peppers

    I like the change-up for Friday with the special guest! It opens the show up for more tangents but that’s what laid back Friday is all about…something a little different.

    QOTD: Macaroni ‘n Cheese, with potentially some lobster or crab, Pacific Northwest style!
