That looks good. How are the Crawdads done?

 

[Tuliman]

Boiled with vegetables (fried first in butter), spices and alcohol.

Google wants to spell it Kotlety. Either way they remind me of the kind of thing Grandma used to make.

EDIT: Now I see - Kotleta is the ground meat and Kotlety is the patty from it.

It is Kotleta
They are Kotlety

Elnlish form would be Kotleta for one, Kotletas for many.

Kotletas (Kotlety) are made from ground meat with added ingredients like onion, yolk, bread, salt, pepper, etc...

Here is an example, Tesha's kotlets (Mother-in-law's Kotlets) Google Translate

That sounds... appealing. Do they plant maggots into the meat as well for that extra textural kick?

Is the Corsican maggot cheese on the list of edible (as long as the maggots have fled of course)?

Right after I'm done that special predigested coffee.

Predigested coffee is called "Vivarin". RTFM.

Kopi Luwak.

 

[sofaspud]

Ya gotta wonder about the java junkie that discovered that!

 

[Wavebourn]

Thanks, I know now what Billy Joy meant when called the language Java. It is pre-digested language.

I was thinking of feeding the dog coffee beans, never know (and easier logistics).

Good idea!

I'm looking for a predigested TV remote in my backyard.

But that's another story and I will not ruin another thread.

No, better to feed a goat. You need shape and size of beans.

Sorry, I'm going, but I could not resist.

Pork Tenderloin.

Trim and season the loin with something like seasoned salt, black pepper and poultry seasoning.
Wrap in 250 gr. of side bacon, use toothpicks to secure, cut to ensure no problems when rotating in the pan. *Count the toothpicks used.*
Fry on medium-low until it feels right when you poke it with your finger. Remove from heat, watch the colour of the drippings. If juice is clear, remove toothpicks and slice into 3-5 cm pieces. You don't have to eat the bacon but you probably will.

And the vegetarians just finished some Xihongshi Chao Jidan. Mine had some extra peppercorns.

Xihongshi Chao Jidan.

Excellent breakfast dish. Second only to bot chien with tomatoes on the side.

exactly why I do not contribute to this thread.

It's hard for us to find the pre-made rice or turnip cake without the shrimp lagniappe. Made my own on occasion. Bot Chien is delicious, but there's something in the flavor contrasts in Xihongshi Chao Jidan that keeps drawing me back in- it's one of those dishes that I will only make at certain times of the year, when fresh, ripe tomatoes are in season. Our CSA farm just delivered a bunch of mixed red, yellow, and orange tomatoes, and I couldn't resist.

It's not just for breakfast any more.

The spoils of having an in house chef are not lost. No recipe, just make it. For a sauce she serves it with a soy sauce, fish sauce, water and red chili flakes with just a hint of Splenda.

So it's like beer then.

That's what we do. The farmer brings us great produce, and we just try not to screw it up.
