Abbott did it for Costello. Sonny did it for Cher. Behind every

star is the straight man, humbly standing in the shadow of his

glitzier partner. A lot of foods play this role too - pie

Recipe search coincides with start of football season

For many, tailgating isn't just a pregame meal, it's an obsession.

Ribs, burgers and barbecued chicken are the all-stars of tailgating

feasts, and the key to a winning recipe is in the sauce.

is one ingredient that gives barbecue an extra special flavor,

and it's honey! Now tailgate chefs have a chance to enter their

honey barbecue recipe and see if it scores.

Hautes Glaces, upscale ice creams from Vosges

Haut-Chocolat, put an ultra-sophisticated spin on a summer-time

staple. Flavors include: Pandan (dark chocolate infused

with pandan, a fragrant Asian herb similar to vanilla);

Red Fire (ancho chili powder and cinnamon heating up dark

chocolate ice cream); Wattleseed (white chocolate ice cream

infused with the seed from Australia, which tastes like

a combination of hazelnut, chocolate and coffee); a fourth,

Naga, is a sorbet (coconut, white chocolate and curry flavoring

white chocolate sorbet). MORE

savvy

First, let's get past the name: Applegate Farms' organic

Fire Roasted Red Pepper Chicken & Turkey Sausage. Phew.

in these links, though one complained about blandness.

The fully cooked sausages just need to be reheated; they

tasted good on their own, but also would work as part of

a larger recipe. A 12-ounce package of four links is $5

in the refrigerator case at specialty grocers or online

at www.applegatefarms.com.
