How to Eat Like Ernest Hemingway

Author Ernest Hemingway was renowned for living life to its fullest, even though that sometimes meant running over other people or nature itself. He had a great appetite for adventure, women, and food. Although Hemingway no doubt went through privations at certain times in his life, he always wanted to enjoy food at its best, and wouldn't think twice about telling a fine restaurant exactly how to prepare his meals. Making a hamburger the Hemingway way must have taken quite some time, but the recipe sounds delicious to me. So does the recipe for campsite corn cakes, despite the need to take a food processor, griddle, two bowls, and half a pantry of ingredients along on the camping trip. He liked roughing it without roughing it too much. But Hemingway would also try foods you and I would never consider, like raw lion meat.

And then there's the Hemingway Daiquiri, born at Havana’s El Floridita bar when Hemingway thought daiquiris needed more alcohol. You'll find the recipes for all these dishes, plus Bacon-Wrapped Trout in an article at Flashbak. -via Nag on the Lake
