A salmagundi is either an English dish that consists of chopped egg, ground meat, anchovies, onions and assorted spices or, more generally, a miscellaneous collection. So today, I bring you a salmagundi of links for the Slashfood Ate. These are links I've collected all week long, tasty bits that I've been holding on while I looked for a way to write about them.
- For her birthday, Laura at The Kitchen Illiterate made Tuna and White Bean Sandwiches that have captured my attention and motivated my purchase of a can of cannelinni beans last night.
- On Tuesday, Culinate posted a terrific interview with Lynne Rossetto Kasper, host of American Public Media's wonderful food program, The Splendid Table.
- Over at Serious Eats, Robyn Lee posted a hilarious and wonderful stop motion "cooking" video called Spaghetti Western. This one is a definite must watch.
- Geekadelphia found a cache of retro cereal box images. My favorite? Cocoa Hoots!
- PAgent twittered this link over to me yesterday and it has gone straight to the top of my 'must make' list. Because how can you live until you've tasted coffee jell cubes?
- Starting at the end of this month, the folks from Epicurious will be touring farmers markets in five US cities. They've created menus for each market and I'm particularly thrilled, cause they're coming to Philly.
- The Homesick Texan has the ability to stir up cravings inside of me that I didn't even know were possible. Now I can't stop thinking about carnitas.
- And lastly, did you hear that a bunch of new food-related words are going to be in the 2008 edition of the Merriam-Webster dictionary? The list includes edamame, pescatarian, phytonutrient and prosecco.

Homesick Texan sent me to my local Mexican restaurant (the owners are from Michoaca) for carnitas. They were outstanding!

Marisa I want to be one of your friends - salmagundi has long been one of my favorite words, and you're probably only the second or third person I've ever heard use it.

Hey thanks for reading my blog and mentioning my not-so-fancy-but-completely-delicious sandwiches. Mmm, now I am craving them again.
