#72 Victory Storm King Imperial Stout Float (via JoeFoodie)

Beer purists may cringe at the idea of putting a scoop of ice cream in a good stout, but don’t knock it until you try it.  A really great premium vanilla ice cream works incredibly well with the chocolate, coffee, & roasted notes of the stout.  When the ice cream melts, a sort of beer milkshake forms - a really delicious treat.

#71 Headcheese (via TwoHungryDudes)

The headcheese made locally by Detroit’s own Corridor Sausage Co. is transcendent.  Huge porky flavor, excellent texture, and perfect contrast with the baguette & Sauce Gribiche.  You would be hard pressed to find a better bite of deliciousness.

The headcheese was made for the Michigan Beer Tasting at Cloverleaf Fine Wine in Royal Oak, MI.

Beer Review - McSorley’s - Irish Pale Ale

For everyone’s favorite beer holiday I figured I would try a Irish inspired beer. Calling itself an Irish Pale Ale McSorleys feels more like an interesting cross between an India Pale Ale and and an Irish Red Ale.  With a light copper color, thin white head, and, a flowery and sweet wheat smell to it it’s easy to say that it caught me a little off guard at first.  McSorley starts out strong and bitter with hints of flowers, smoke, and pine, and I honestly thought thats all it had to offer, but once I took a few more sips I got a strong wheat sweetness on the finish. McSorley’s is full bodied and dry (the only way I can reasonably describe it), and it comes on strong and just when you think it’s over it gives you a sweet almost hefeweizen finish.  I have rarely had a beer this much in two different places both a pale ale and a red ale. McSorleys is a nice option if your a bitter beer lover (hop-head) looking for a change of pace or if you like red ales (Smithwick’s, or Sam Adam’s Irish Red) but are looking for something with a little more bite to it.

#70 Biftekia (via @joefoodie)

Biftekia is a Greek style meat patty comprised of lamb, ground beef, onions, parsley, oregano, & other spices.  Served with garlicky tzatziki sauce & Greek salad, biftekia is a nice change of pace from normal hamburgers.  

Biftekia was purchased at Athenian Shish Kebob in Saint Clair Shores, MI.

#69 Kibbeh Soneyeh (via JoeFoodie)

Although my favorite kibbeh dish is nayeh (raw), soneyeh is a close second.  Literally translated, kibbeh bel soneyeh means kibbeh in a tray.  Soneyeh is has 3 layers: 2 layers of kibbeh with a layer of hashwi in between.  A spicy &  rich dish, kibbeh soneyeh pairs well with pita & leban.

The kibbeh soneyeh pictured here is from Emily’s Deli in Saint Clair Shores, MI.

#68 Cherry Almond Bread Pudding (via JoeFoodie)

A carryout from Jumps Restaurant in Grosse Pointe, this bread pudding had an intense almond flavor.  Perfectly sweet with a touch of tartness from the dried cherries, this was a truly luscious dessert. Rich, but not heavy.  The vanilla creme anglaise added an eggy/creamy dimension.  A really nice dessert.
