What does RUMAKI mean in Scrabble?
noun
A party appetizer of chicken liver and a slice of water chestnut wrapped in bacon, marinated and then grilled or baked.
Rumaki became a fixture of American cocktail parties and tiki restaurants in the middle of the twentieth century, when Polynesian-style food was fashionable. The salty bacon, soft liver and crisp water chestnut give each bite three textures at once, and the little bundles are usually held together with a toothpick. A soy-based marinade is the traditional way to season them before cooking. The dish has a Japanese-sounding name but was largely an invention of American restaurateurs.
