Food Thread: Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em...Otherwise Just Grill!

My grill and smoker are no longer covered in snow, so it's time to ponder the first attempt of the year....smoked pork butt, pork ribs, beef ribs, smoked sausage, smoked leg of lamb (try it...it's great!), and one I am going to try this year...smoked beef clod (shoulder). The clod is a huge cut, so I will probably chicken out and try a smaller chunk.

But it doesn't really matter what goes on the grill or smoker...there is something about cooking over coals (or gas...I'm not a Luddite) that is pleasurable in an uncomplicated way. I think the smoker is the biggest lure, because once the meat goes on, that's it! No poking or prodding or flipping or basting or any of the many things we do when fussing with food. Smoking is a matter of faith. Keep the temperature where you want it (low and slow baby...low and slow!), make sure your meat has been seasoned correctly, and then put your trust in the low-temperature combustion products of wood and charcoal. No peeking and prodding, no constant stirring and tasting. It's just you against the collagen, and may the best man win.*

As you may have noticed (check the photo up top), I am dreaming of grilled sausages. That's going to be the first outdoor event at Chez Dildo, a casual late afternoon meal of beer, burgers and some of those great sausages from my local maker. I know that some of you swear by brats poached in beer, but I prefer them grilled. Yes, I am an iconoclast, but try it, you'll like it.

As for the burgers? I think small ones (about four-five ounces) on potato rolls is the best combination. It's not the Platonic ideal of a burger, and it's tough to get a nice char without overcooking them, but the size is important because of course you'll want at least one burger and one sausage. And potato salad. And beer. And bourbon...don't forget the bourbon while you are setting up the grill.

*What? No...chicks don't smoke meat! That's just silly talk.

******
Sorry about the obnoxious website...all too often food sites seem to revel in being as busy and complex as they can get, and it's a huge waste of time. But the recipe looks like fun! I haven't made it, but it's simple and quick, so i'll probably give it a shot.
Easy Pepper Steak Recipe
Oh...I probably won't use flank steak. It's pricey in my neck of the woods, and I think whatever is on sale will work. My local market has sirloin on sale about half the time, so I'll try that.
******
I have eaten Boudin, and it's pretty damned fine eating. I have also had versions that were a bit pungent and strongly-flavored, so be aware. Not as bad as the French anduillette, which smells pretty much just like shit, and tastes only slightly better. Boudin: The Beloved Sausage of Cajun Country It's a bit different than most sausages because it uses rice as a filler, and that adds an interesting texture and flavor that makes it unique. If you can get the real stuff in your neighborhood you are very lucky.

Thank God for Vox, because they are such a sure source for hilariously wrongheaded and stupid material!
How did home cooking become a moral issue?

Over the course of five years, the authors interviewed more than 150 low- and middle-income mothers and a handful of grandmothers, in and around Raleigh, North Carolina, all primary caregivers of young children. Ultimately, they focused on nine. It’s not that foodie doctrine is wrong, exactly — home-cooked meals are great, we should eat more vegetables, it is nice when families eat together — but rather that the prescriptions of (mostly white, mostly male) public food intellectuals stop making sense when confronted with real life.
The mothers and grandmothers in the book do take food seriously. Across income levels, they care about how they feed their families, and across income levels, they feel like they’re failing. Which they are, in a way, because the task is impossible. A societal problem requires a societal fix.

Look at the sample they used. One small region (really just a neighborhood) and a tiny sample. Yet they feel confident that extrapolating wildly is perfectly reasonable.

Well...here's my extrapolation. They are wrong. Completely and totally wrong, and I use my multi-year study at Chez Dildo, and before, at Chez Dildo's parents' house.

The smug tone of "We know what's best for you" is maddening, as is the even more offensive suggestion that family dinner is unrealistic because it is the purview of White middle-class families.

You know? Family dinner is great, mostly because it reinforces the idea that the family is a profoundly important part of a vibrant culture. Nobody gives a rat's ass that you serve cold pizza or day-old rice-and-beans. The idea is to increase the cohesion of the family...to make it axiomatic that family can be counted on and trusted and relied upon if necessary.

But that is antithetical to Vox's true love, which is overbearing, all-controlling government, so they dug up some bullshit "study" to justify their progressive agenda.

******
From a Moronette....I think I will respect her anonymity.

At a Star Trek convention in Las Vegas, my sister insisted on going to an extremely expensive "All You Can Eat" seafood buffet. We were determined to get our money's worth.
Obviously, alcohol was a factor...

We are having pork chops with a side of Carrot-Zucchini Latkes with Pear-Apple Sauce.

It's actually snowing, so I'll be "grilling" the pork chops inside.

I prepped some bacon today, so that we could have BLT's for lunch, but mostly because I'm making a Frittata tomorrow with bacon and potatoes, so I oven-baked a full package. I needed to use up a dozen eggs because we're going out of town. Emptying out fridge.

26 Girl grilling. Yeah, I'm the main griller and the sole smoker in our family. Smoked two slabs of baby back ribs for husband's birthday this weekend. Don't have any idea how many days it will take the two of us to eat them.

The seafood buffet reminds me that as way plus 29s we can't eat that much anymore. But we are planning to reconstruct the amazing scallop pizza we had at the Bistro East in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia a few years ago. Secret ingredient? Carmelized onions.

I haven't had a kitchen knife accident - but there was a time I was up on top of a steep roof patching a leak with tar and a putty knife. I slipped, and in contorting to keep myself from flying off a pretty tall roof, I landed on top of the putty knife and slashed my wrist open. I guess because it was pretty dull it just slashed the skin and didn't penetrate anything beneath, but it was freaky to look at all the stuff in your wrist with the skin hanging open. Took 7 or 8 stitches.

96 To stray a bit back to the topic, the two things I've found that help with smoking are use way less flavoring wood and smoke than you think you'll need, and absolutely try to maintain your smoker temperature. Gas and electric smokers have an appeal despite breaking from the meat + fire way because they're so good at keeping a steady temperature.

Well that's all I got, thanks for listening, God bless.

This morning was another Jimmy Dean busciuts and gravy extravaganza which brings the following to mind.

I use McCormack Country gravy mix but make it with all real milk. The residual gravy is then used by spreading to take the oxidation off the copper bottom pots and pans. When the gravy develops a kind of green tinge, you know its working. A couple hours of close watching might be needed.

The bit about knives triggered my kitchenophobia but this time not my bayonetophobia.

99 I was at a New Years Eve party years ago, some friend took me to some rich guys house who I didn't even know. He was drunk, and had a bunch of drunk friends. They had a bucket of unshucked oysters, so he decided to show off by grabbing one and showing how he could open it with a butcher knife. Long story short, I was standing next to him right when the butcher knife (predictably) slipped, and put it straight through the palm of his hand where it came out the other side. Turned out I was the only out of all those idiots so I gave him some first aid and wrapped his hand up in a towel, and then all his friends carted him off to the ER.

And then came the weirdest part - me and my buddy were left in this mansion, basically, owned by people we really didn't even know, with a seafood buffet plus beer and champagne for 20 people, and we were all by ourselves. So we ate and drank til we were stuffed and decided that was enough of that.

I think the little white ones and the baby bellas are the same variety, just picked early or left to mature, respectively. The darker ones have a stronger flavor and different texture, like you noticed.

Whether it's worth the price difference is up to you.

A redhead I was dating tried to stab me once.

Posted by: Moron Robbie - Black Slaves Invented Cooking at March 24, 2019 05:55 PM (ApUNS)

156 Grilling: I had good success grilling the Tomahawk steaks (a 2" rib steak on a giant rib handle that I had to saw off most of to fit in the Big Green Egg). Thickish coat of salt and some pepper, right before cooking. Both sides, because it's so thick. 6 minutes on each side at 525, nice crust, then over to the side for some indirect heat. Pulled it when there were still some spots inside at around 105, but the thing is so big that it evened out to perfection. Really great cut of meat, and you can't beat the pure pleasure of looking at it.

Kitchen knife accident: I use Chinese cleavers for most things, and I was cutting a carrot piece lengthwise. I had unwittingly selected a thicker cleaver than I thought, and so the carrot rolled underneath the blade, which came down on my left fingertip, splitting the nail and leaving a good bit of fingertip on the unanchored side. In the emergency room, the local anesthetic guy was way backed up, so I got my stitches without any, rather than wait. Some of them had to go (shudder) through the nail. Not fun. The finger is fine now, but there is a touch of numbness that remains.

I still have the end of the thumb but had to lay the flap piece on the end and really cinch it down for a long time.

164 We stumbled on a wonderful addition to our smoker list of must do the week after Christmas when we throw our traditional "It's over, stop obsessing and have a drink" mostly annual blowout.I had a case of frozen oysters on the half shell (which plumped up in brine very nicely for the raw bar) and as the afternoon and alcohol drifted by, we thought, why not smoke some. (Did I mention the Alcohol?).We put them in the smoker frozen solid and wandered away for an hour. We may have discovered anew form of cold smoking, because these were perfect.I may try some frozen salmon next week.

Posted by: Puddin Head at March 24, 2019 05:28 PM (vV/gB)

Cod is, well, a kind of fish. You can learn all about it in the wonderful book, Cod. Apparently it's really low in fat, so was perfect for drying and preserving.

Scrod, as I understand it, is an old Boston term for "whatever fish that was selling at the docks for cheapest, because it was a kind whose name diners don't know, so you can't get a premium for it."

The Washington Post has a Peep contest each year where people create scenes using Peeps, and the pictures are always fun. Remember the year all those miners were stuck in a collapsed mine in South America (Chile, maybe?) and they finally got them all out, and one guy had both his wife and his mistress waiting for them? They made a Peeps display with that.

flavor woods should only be used for the first few hours of cooking: after that, they won't add to the flavor, and, in some cases, OVER smoking will actually degrade the results, usually with the stronger flavored woods, like oak.

238 flavor woods should only be used for the first few hours of cooking:

after that, they won't add to the flavor, and, in some cases, OVER

smoking will actually degrade the results, usually with the stronger

flavored woods, like oak.

My brother has an electric smoker
that stays sealed with 4 ozs. of wood and is sometimes too much smoke. I
have a big ol' Pitts and Spits that is heated and smokes by burning
wood. Hard as hell to control the temps but I like the smoke taste
better.

My new propane smoker is the same way. I only put one chunk of wood in it now. Anything more is way too much smoke.

Try making a paste with corn starch and Kirsch. Add after all the cheese has melted.

The kirsch gives it a little understated cherry kick that goes great with the cheese, particularly if you use emmental which has a little nutty flavor to it.

This relationship is still in the early stages but the way he talked about her, she seems reasonably vetted and I know he wants to have a family and settle down.

But yes - the ongoing "talk" is always in play.

327 nurse,
What ever happens, you and Insom only have 11 years and 10 months to figure it out, because according to Sandy Ocasio, the planes will be gone after that.
It is a long walk from WA to FL, and vice versa.

331 I'm doing keto w/mild IF (around 14-15 hours a day). Been on it about a week.

Coffee for breakfast, with just a dash of cream and butter (can't do black).

Lunch was celery filled with brauschsweiger, queen olives and pork rinds dipped in high end blue cheese dressing. Not bad.

Supper was ground chuck mixed with sauteed shredded red cabbage with pepper, season salt and about a tbsp of A-1. Also not bad.

Hi Ben! I'm sorry, were you trying to find me? I've been in and out of this thread and have surely missed things.

My son just brought in yesterday's mail that I forgot to bring in and I received a nice package from you - thank you so much!

335 Got to go, but after dinner I will do a cardio-approved Happy Dance for the US of A, DJT, Tonypete and son, Ace, and nurse ratched and Insomniac. Among others. Bluebell and weasel.

336 The kirsch gives it a little understated cherry kick that goes great with the cheese, particularly if you use emmental which has a little nutty flavor to it.

I'm German and Swiss. Fondue was kind of a thing in my family.

Plus it's simple.

350 One of the pleasures of my time residing in Louisiana was ready to eat boudin for sale at gas stations and Convenience stores. Fortunately I can buy Beaumont boudin here in TN and cook it up myself.

351 Try making a paste with corn starch and Kirsch. Add after all the cheese has melted.

The kirsch gives it a little understated cherry kick that goes great with the cheese, particularly if you use emmental which has a little nutty flavor to it.

354 This isn't a knive accident, years ago when my wife and I were getting married, we went to a large department store to register. We decided on the usual appliances, etc, but also wanted to get some kitchen knives.
I am not a chef, but I am a forensic pathologist, so I only knew the knives by what *I* used them for. So, we wandered along, and I said that I thought that looked like a good liver knife, a good brain knife, one for doing subcutaneous dissection, etc. I wasn't paying attention, but the saleswoman apparently started looking a bit alarmed, and my wife had to step in and explain things.

We forensic pathologists also have a deep appreciation for cutlery, at least those of us who trained with large knives (there's another school of practice that relies more heavily on scalpels and small knives).
When I was a trainee, I had a great knife, but when I graduated, I left it behind. It was such a popular knife that it was etched as the "Billo memorial knife." After a year or so, the Chief Medical Examiner decided to make it his personal knife. Years later, I returned to the state where I trained, at about the time the Chief retired. I went to his retirement party, and he returned my knife to me. I have been using it for the past 10 years. The knife has been in continuous service for 35 years, and has probably been used in over 10,000 autopsies.

355 I keep reading these comments about "my grill is covered with snow and I can't grill." Shoot, I lived in Iceland for two years and grillin' was NOT something I gave up. Don't you own some boots and a jacket? Like the lady said, "Grill Baby, Grill!"

359 I barbecued a 4 lb. corned beef flat yesterday. Washed it off and then soaked it in fresh water to get rid of some of the salt. Seasoned it with corriander,rosemary, garlic and pepper. Smoked it for 4 hrs. at 250F using oak for smoke. Then into a pan with the veggies and 3 cups of water, sealed with aluminum foil and back onto the grill at350F for an hour or so. It was excellent.
