Sardinian thankfulness reloaded :-) winner announced on post #52

Happy birthday! I recently celebrated my own and was pleasantly surprised to find this Sheffield made lambsfoot show up on my doorstep from a friend in the UK..

My favorite dish that reminds me the most of where I grew up in North Carolina would be the traditional New Year's Day meal. Black-eyed peas on rice with boiled greens (collard, mustard, turnip, etc.) and cornbread.

A very simple meal representative of early traditional southern cuisine. I think it's supposed to be lucky and bring fortune in the New Year or some such, my mother would tell me what the different items represent but I could never remember... I still cook this meal all through the year.

I'm a huge fan of friction folders. My work knife is a Svord peasant mini, my Opinel #6 being in my pocket in my freetime, and I'm anxiously nearing the end of a lengthy wait for a Michael Morris friction folder. I gave away a Turkish friction folder earlier this year on here as my first give-away, would be cool to win an ethnic folder in the first giveaway I'm entering.. Thanks so much for the opportunity!

Wow, Fausto. Blem or not that looks like a fantastic knife to me! Please count me in. And, thank you for all your contributions to the Forum, not just the great give-aways.

I don't know if there's anything my neck of the woods is really known for so I guess I'd try to bring some wild game of some sort. There is an annual Men's Wild Game dinner that one of the churches sponsors every year and there are some really great cooks in the area. If we didn't have some Lake Wannacut trout or Palmer Lake crappie to share I'd probably try to drag you down to Cafe Lune in Tonasket, WA on a friday morning. Salem Straub, Promethean Blades here on the forums, cooks some very nice dishes and his wife makes fantastic cinnamon rolls. Got to get there early to get one though. They go in about 30 minutes after she gets them out of the oven.

It's definitely not a cracker: more like a thin wet bread (some people prefer it very thin and a bit more crunchy, others like it a bit thick and wet).
For some reason, as least here in northern Sardinia, it's only made in the cold season (it's quite a heavy meal after all).
Should you and your wife ever travel to my homeland, I will be happy to take you out to try it :)

Ooh, that sounds good. Now, plane tickets to Sardinia, plus extra cash for meals, lodging, and a couple crates of Resolza's...

You will be most welcome, just like any other member here.
Oh, little bump up! I avoided a certain word in the thread title to dodge "casual" entries, but this is a nice chance to get a nice knife, so hopefully more people can enter :)

Forgive my late wishes for your birthday Fausto, but I am just now seeing this post. I would treasure such a beautiful knife from someone who adds so much to this forum!

I grew up in Indiana, and wish I had a picture of Mrs. Wick's sugar cream pie, but I just gave my last one to my son while visiting him a couple weeks ago. Here is a borrowed image. A few years ago it was declared the state pie of Indiana by the legislature, and is made just a few miles away from my childhood home.

Take a look here for a recipe, and the state legislature resolution.

I now live in North Carolina where pork barbecue is a culinary delight. I wish I had a picture of my wife's barbecue. Alas, we finished it when my parents were visiting just over a week ago. I have often said that my wife's barbecue (and bacon, of course!) is what prevents me from ever becoming a vegetarian.

However, we do eat a lot of meatless dishes, and this is a favorite, quinoa stuffed red peppers. It is not a regional cuisine by any means, but is a dish often enjoyed in our home. While it may not look very appealing, it is quite delicious. The red bell peppers are filled with a stuffing mix that has been sauted in a cast iron skillet in olive oil and seasoned with curry powder: onion, garlic, celery, spinach, tomatoes, garbanzo beans, quinoa, carrots, raisins, almonds, and topped with pepper jack cheese.

Just saw this fellows, will do. I don't want to derail this incredible giveaway thread of Fausto's, so PM or VM me if anyone else wants the recipe.
 
Don't worry Doug: I certainly won't complain for any recipe on my threads :D
Folks, time for this knife is running out: tomorrow morning I will pick the lucky winner.
So take your chance :)

I want in! lol that Pattada is very interesting...I enjoy when you post the traditionals of your neck of the woods! :)

Ok food wise, we have a lot of local traditions but if you put out devilled eggs they don't last but a few minutes! everyone grew up on them and they never get sick of them. I definitely enjoy my wifes recipe for them, everyone does them different, some use sugar, some dont, some spice and vice versa.

Thanks for the chance and happy birthday!
 
I just wanted to say ...Happy (belated) birthday, Fausto!! I always enjoy your threads and all your contributions. May you have many more wonderful birthdays ahead. The Pattada is just a gorgeous knife and one day I will own one, but for now I just wanted to say ....Thank You
 
Time's up folks. I do want to thank everyone here, for your contribution to this thread and, mostly, to this very special subforum.
One thing that I really enjoy about our porch, is the way everyone brings personal contributions and traditions (knife related, and not) to the discussion, just for the sake of sharing. As one wise person once told me, it's always good to go out, know, learn, share, but this discovery process works much better when you know where you're coming from and you never lose contact with your roots. This knife represents my own roots, and I'm glad someone else is getting the chance to learn a bit more about them.
This knife goes to our fellow member Sonnemann
Congrats for the lucky win Steve. Please PM me with your shipping info.
Thanks to everyone for being a part of this.

Fausto
:cool:
 
Congrats Steve! You sure won a beauty!

Fausto, thanks for the generous opportunity! I'm going to own one of those someday ...
-Dan
 
:D Monday just became OK...Fausto, I am so honored to be able to represent your cutlery corner of the world over here. Thank you so much!
 
Congratulations to both parties n this great giveaway. Fausto for sending another example of Sardinian knives to this side of the big water, and to Sonnemann, for having a good example of a Resolza to try out on some nice cheese, a little sausage, all somewhere in the outdoors.

Carl.
