The food thread

[nezbleu]

Ed I have had lots of Maxwell House coffe in my day, including the big cans, but I never saw a prayer book with one. Maybe that's just an American thing?

Dinner for 16

Wow, that's a big hunk of beef!

 

[nezbleu]

I
I haven't quite decided what to stuff it with. I think I'll use some pork sausage meat, add lots of garlic, some lemon zest, herbs, maybe some breadcrumbs, and some pistachios. I "tunnel boned" the leg (removed the bone without butterflying the meat) so there isn't a huge cavity to fill.

Well I went with pretty much that except I forgot the lemon zest. The marinade had a lot of lemon so it wasn't missed. The lamb was fantastic, and the pistachio stuffing was too. My mother has always hated lamb and she had 2 helpings!

The stuffing:

meat from 2 bratwurst, fried until just cooked.
6 cloves of garlic par boiled unpeeled, then cooled and peeled
1/3 c shelled pistachios, well rinsed and soaked to remove salt and skins
1 "ciabatta" roll cubed, fried in olive oil and butter
1 big handful parsley
2 stalks fresh rosemary
leaves from 2 or 3 sprigs mint
combine all in food processor, cram into boned lamb leg, tie, hope it doesn't all fall out!

I suspect it is just the US. But they came loose, the grocer would give you a copy. You might just ask. I have seen copies at churches that use it as a guide for last supper reenactments.

I didn't realize that meal ended with coffee.

If a grocer in Canada handed out a religious pamphlet he would likely get a few strange looks (unless it was Budhist, because you know those Buddhists!). We might even apologize to him!

What's this all aboot eh? Hang a larry at the religious talk before its too late friend.

So does anyone around here eat corn flakes?

Nature's Path Organic for me, 6 days a week with plain yogurt, banana and honey for sweetening, and soy milk.

Sounds perfectly disgusting Jeff. Where's the bacon?

 

[vinylkid58]

Where's the bacon?

That comes on the weekend. Big honkin' pieces of local Berkshire bacon with eggs and pancakes with real maple syrup.

[Cal Weldon]

That's better. You scared me for a minute.

Among the favored breakfast cereals KCF feature prominently, along with raisin bran, Cheerios, Shreddies and Quaker Oat Bran Squares.

Somehow this sentence induces thoughts of a bowl of cereal with some commercially fried chicken floating in it.


"What is soul?
I don't know, huh!
Soul is a hamhock in your cornflakes, yeah"

There are lots of modified specialty foods available that I avoid as they substitute starch for gluten.

Ed have you tried these, Shirataki Noodles, Zero Calorie & Carb Free Noodles at Miracle Noodle. My wife finds them too creepy, essentially nothing there a "virtual" noodle. If you're used to rice/tapioca based products from Asia they are not that hard to get past.

I eat Quaker Oats (Old Fashion) most days for breakfast. At work I have it with walnuts and dried cranberries. At home on Saturday or Sunday I usually have it with banana and walnuts.

The exception is weekends when I ride bicycle, then I don't eat breakfast until after my ride. I have Eggs, Grits and Bacon.

 

[TheGimp]

Smoked Salmon this weekend.

 

[TheGimp]

Meatloaf tonight.

 

[nezbleu]

Smoked Salmon this weekend.

All gone now, but Willy's is the best. (I think Willy is gone now too, but his family still makes the best smoked salmon.) We had some before dinner last night.

 

[Cal Weldon]

Every once in a while you just have to do it.

 

[VenusFly]

oh my god bread. I miss bread so much. You can put butter on bread and a snag (sausage).

Gluten free diet has its emotional cost. My love of bread.

And here's a cold one to go with it.....Cheers!

I wish I could find PU on tap.
