Food Thread: Sushi: American Style!
There is far too much acceptance of the progressive cant in this article, and they carefully avoid (or perhaps don't realize) the idea that simply promoting hunting instead of demonizing it would go a long way toward helping their cause. Rack of squirrel, anyone? The chefs putting invasive species on the menu Here's my favorite stupid line:
While proponents acknowledge it is not possible to turn all invasive flora and fauna into gourmet food, they say that taste is key to success.And that is the reason this will fail! Killing invasive species is the way to go. Not, killing enough to stock the larders of hipster restaurants. For instance, If Texans had to eat all of the pigs they shoot to keep the population in check, they would be eating pork three meals a day...forever. But it is a good start, and maybe teaching people that their food doesn't have to come from a slaughterhouse or a corporate farm will temper the lunacy that hunting is evil.
Hey...how about a cocktail! Here is commenter "naturalfake..."
Okay, here's your Valentine's Day cocktail, which will make you look like a genius, becuz -
One, it's got a Valentiney name..."Angel Face"
Two, it comes from the Great Age of Classic Cocktail Invention 1930
Three, it only has 3, count'em 3 ingredients in equal proportions, so it's so simple even CBD couldn't mess it up, and
Four, it is specifically required by the creator of the cocktail from 1930 that you shake, shake, shake the cocktail with ice for roughly 20 seconds.
Angel Face Cocktail 1 oz of London Dry Gin
1 oz of Calvados or Apple Brandy
1 oz of Apricot Liqueur Shake with ice for 20 seconds. Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish by floating a thin slice of apple therein.
Drink! And glory in the heartfelt praise Your Sweetie gives you for concocting such a delicious adult beverage.
This is seriously good. Give it a whirl.
One of our regular readers (and a lurker) sent me this photo of his batch of "Homesick Texan's" red beans and rice. She is a fine and fun cook. Her books are worthwhile, and the recipes are solid. Although she claims this recipe is for eight. That's just nonsense. I can eat a double portion before dinner!
Ina Garten does not screw around. Her recipes are always at least good, and sometimes they are great (best meatloaf recipe on the planet). Yes, she uses too many damned bowls and pots and pans, because let us be honest, she is wealthy and has forgotten that most people don't have a legion of cleaners tiptoeing behind them in their 1,000 square foot kitchen. But the food is good, so let us forgive her. Company Pot Roast One thing I find puzzling is her use of both homemade chicken stock and a chicken bullion cube. Why? If you are making your own stock, then take one big batch and reduce it to a sixteenth of the original volume. You will be left with glace de viande, which is essentially homemade bullion cubes in gelatin form, but without all the salt!
Last week I promised kch's recipe for pulled pork, so here it is, complete with his notes, which are interesting, especially about the whole "plastic wrap under foil" thing that I have seen, read about, and am too chicken to try.
kch's PULLED PORK - 5 lb Berkshire pork shoulder, lightly trimmed
- 1 med onion, sliced thin
- 2/3 cup hot apple cider
- 1/3 cup maple syrup For the brine:
- ½ cup salt
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 cups water For the rub:
- 2 tsp dry mustard
- 2 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp dry marjoram
- 1 tsp dry oregano
- 4 tsp smoked paprika
- 4 tsp salt Method:
- Make the brine by dissolving the salt and sugar in hot water. Allow to cool.
- Soak the pork shoulder in the brine solution for about an hour (best done by placing pork and brine in large plastic bag).
- Mix all of the dry rub ingredients together.
- Remove pork from brine, pat dry.
- Sear pork in hot frying pan.
- Coat with the dry rub mix, patting it on all surfaces fairly thickly.
- Line roasting pan with parchment paper and scatter the onion over the bottom of the pan. Arrange the pork pieces on top, then add the hot apple cider to the bottom of the pan.
- Cover the pans tightly with first plastic wrap, then foil.
- Put in 325F oven for at least 4 hours. [Or in a slow cooker for 5 hours or more]
- When done (falling off the bone), shred immediately (much easier to do when hot!). It's best to do this by first cutting away the bone, then shredding the meat and any fat with forks.
- Strain the cooking liquid. Add the onion to the shredded pork. Skim the fat off the liquid and discard. Add the liquid to the pork, along with the maple syrup. Mix well, then check and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Cool. Reheat gently, serve on good buns. Should make enough for 10 generous portions. (Will freeze well, though)
Some notes: - Up here in Canuckistan pulled pork is usually done - or at least finished - with lots of heavy, sweet bbq sauce. I've always found it too heavy, too rich, too indigestible (even as I've served that style by the ton - give the customers what they want, good and hard if necessary). Given the opportunity here I decided to try a different route. It's kind of sloppy (you'll need napkins!), but much lighter on the stomach and in my opinion a better showcase of the pork and maple. - You can do this without using the Berkshire pork, but if you can get it, it's well worth it. Actually, you can even do this with pork loin, but why would you want to? Unless it's really cheap... -As I mentioned earlier, my recipe starts with 30 lb of pork. I tried my best to adjust ratios in cutting the batch size down, but would suggest giving this a try, then noting any changes you might want to make for future batches. -The plastic wrap/foil thing. Yes, we do actually do that. The plastic wrap seals in all the moisture and the foil protects the plastic wrap. Trust me, if done carefully and correctly, it works.
Brussels Sprouts that aren't as tough as trees, beef short ribs that have meat on them (not the stupid little sliver of bone they sneak into the packages), carrots that don't taste like stalky chalk, spare bottles of Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Old Bourbon, an herb garden that actually produces herbs (but no basil!), well-marbled NY strip steaks and elk backstrap to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com. And don't think that you are off the hook with maple syrup and French Toast: I'm watching you...all of you! And I am watching you perverts who shake Manhattans and keeping a list for the Burning Times.

OT; The leaders of the Convoy to DC 2022 said that it's a way to get the govts attention on how we feel. Newsflash, the govt already knows how we feel with Bidens low polling numbers and Dems knowing they're going to lose the midterm elections and they still don't care. So what's the point of the Convoy? The truckers should have been doing this at the same time as the Canadians. They should close their bank accounts first and then go home and stop rolling.
Yep, make a run on the banks. That'll work! Fed will shut that down faster than you can say...I'll take that in hundreds please.

To be fair, this is my "I've got so much stuff to do" Northern Sweet Chicken BBQ. Alost 5lbs of chicken thighs (bone in/skin on in the crock) and 1.5lb sweet onion in the crock - did 8 hrs on low and just shredded it (tossing the bone and skin). Took out all the broth/fat liquid except about 1/4 cup (and left all the onions) and then grabbed a bottle of Aldi's hickory smoke and brown sugar BBQ sauce and added 1/3 of the jar with s&p - just enough to slightly darken and moisten the meat without going over the top. It's gonna go on Panera's Sourdough (bought for a soy allergy guest yesterday...and they ate it, but now I have 9/10 of the loaf left). Should be good.
The other name for this BBQ is "cheap" which goes with the whole dinner theme - this would almost fit the $12 for 4 challenge, even with my roasted calabaza squash, strawberries, and baked gingered starfruit.

When I was at the supermarket last night getting the ingredients I opted for getting pre-cut bottom round instead of doing it myself. Well their beef chunks were a lot larger than I would do mine. I try to do mine to about an inch or less.
One thing I am missing in this stew is the McCormicks beef stew seasoning I throw in. I thought I had a packet at home but wound up it was for something else. So I added a bit more Worcestershire sauce, a little more thyme and a little more salt. So far it tastes good.
Will find out in another 4 hours when it is done.

I LOVE NY strip...I'm stuck with a singular sirloin to make tomorrow (didn't use it for Beef and Broccoli on Friday b/c I had too much so tomorrow is the drop dead day). I saw an Asian Beef Bone Broth for 80% off at Hmart today, so I'm thinking about using it for a shabu shabu like soup tomorrow (with shredded baby radish tops and greens, carrot, cilantro, ginger, and maybe some green onion). It's the only way I can think that might feed a few people in the house and be worth the effort...

Posted by: banana Dream at February 20, 2022 04:19 PM (bYTQR)
Yes, really does work! We use it when we want to do a long slow cook that's completely sealed. The wrap does the sealing, the foil protects the wrap from melting everywhere. Keeps all of the moisture in, so the best way to braise.
Kinda like sous vide, now that I think about it...
Posted by: kch at February 20, 2022 04:19 PM (5nduJ)
I was not all that impressed and the portions were small. I wound up getting a burger or something when I got home.
That being said I do like sushi. The restaurants by me all have the chefs preparing the sushi right in front of you. Only the hot dishes are cooked out of sight in the kitchen.

1) Your favorite pizza dough (I make it ahead of time in large batches and freeze it in portions.... works fine as long as you give it plenty of time to warm up and get the yeast working again... take it out of the freezer the night before and put it in the fridge, then take it out of the fridge in the morning seems to work well for me).
2) Package of bacon
3) Preferably several types of cheese, but if you only have one on hand, that's fine too. Cheddar is good with this, as are mozz or provolone.
Fry or microwave bacon, distribute bacon and cheese over half of dough, fold over, pinch together, bake.
You can add more toppings if you want, but at some point you might as well just make a pizza. The point with this is that it's very fast and no fuss.
I've never had any go to waste.

When I lived in NYC, the family ate at Nippon for years. Don't know if they're still around. Lately, my favorite is Sushi of Gari on East 78th.
Here in Montana, it's all made by locals (not Japanese). Some of it's good but a lot is made by people who don't have a frame of reference. It's all overly complicated rolls to please the college students.
And please keep the cream cheese out of my sushi.

Rice with chopsticks is the way to stay slender! Since I eat a lot of Japanese, I've also gotten pretty proficient, but when you stick to chopsticks vs their Miso soup "scoop spoon" (which I have the kids save for eating the rice when main courses come), you eat slower. And slower means you get asked by kids finished with their meals to try some of yours...

Took me a long time. I started with California rolls, which is mostly cooked fish/crab, etc. But at the aforementioned King Soopers, I finally tried their ahi tuna, and it was really good. I prefer it to the salmon, which is also good. Don't like eel, or any of them ones with fish eggs.

It's run by Koreans, so the sushi can be a bit different. The Koreans esp for their rolls and such go crazy with sauces, which is usually a huge error in my book cuz sushi is so light in flavor that it's easy to overwhelm and in that case you might as well be eating tofu.
However-
the folks in this place for the most part really know what they're doing, and the sauces (mostly) were perfect. Delightful stuff.
As it's an izakaya we also tried the roast salmon collar which was totes yummy.
Pro Tip: If you see fresh fish collar being served in a Japanese-ish restaurant....go for it! It's almost always superb.

Rice with chopsticks is the way to stay slender! Since I eat a lot of Japanese, I've also gotten pretty proficient, but when you stick to chopsticks vs their Miso soup "scoop spoon" (which I have the kids save for eating the rice when main courses come), you eat slower. And slower means you get asked by kids finished with their meals to try some of yours...

Anything that is needed to shove food into my piehole I can easily become an expert at. It took me one sitting in my teens and like that, I'm good. I had a lab that would eat too fast so we had to put big plastic balls in his bowl and buy dog bowls with knobs you have to eat around. I probably need something like that. I practically vacuum food up if I'm not careful.

If it pays well, people will unleash their ingenuity in coming up with ways to efficiently pluck them out of the environment while cutting down on waste (such as catching less valuable creatures, and the time/effort to reset the traps / re-bait from that).
Turn a problem into a market, and market-based solutions will manage it for you.

If you don't feel like using a frying pan for a meatloaf recipe, try this one:
Mix together 4 eggs, 16 oz of tomato juice, 1/2 c finely chopped onion, 1 T salt, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, and 1 /1 cups of quick oats in a large mixing bowl. Add 3 lbs of lean ground beef in pieces, and stir with a spatula, eventually mixing it all in (adding the beef in small pieces facilitates mixing. Form into 2 loaves, then place in a 9x13 baking dish. 350F for 1 hour.
This is incredibly moist! No pan of water required.

The kiddos wanted to watch the Super Bowl, natch. So, I thought I'd whip up some Sloppy Joes as the main course.
I was about to use my Mom's recipe when I came across a William-Sonoma recipe, which looked so much more gourmets than my Mom's 5-ingredient throw-together.
It took a lot more time and knife work and ingredients to whip the WS version up and it tasted fine and all.
But,when it came down to bun-biting time, the SW version tasted almost exactly like Mom's with Mom's even maybe being just a smidgen better. Very very much the same though.
Wasted effort, don't you see? applying lipstick to a pig, doncha know?

I see you saw my Northern BBQ post tonight - when the kids' want "brown" sauce, I'm not screwing around with making that. I only put real effort into the southern types...
And if you are an Indian sauce maker who avoid dairy and makes amazing sauces, I'm buying your jars - looking at my new Maya Kaimel Goan Curry sauce (which will make a perfect fish, tofu, or veg or all 3 curry for Lent - tried it out last week with bay scallops, smoked oysters, and veg, and it was outstanding)...only thing I'd change was the smoked oysters for shrimp or tofu - a little too earthy for me, but spouse wanted and loved them...
Since Food Network taught me to cook, I learned a lot of lessons from a lot of shows. The lessons (if not the food) I took from Sandra Lee's Semi-Homemade...focus on where your effort matters and buy the cheats when you have a family to feed on limited time.

The steak was a flatiron, which my BIL cooked perfectly to my taste (of course; he's an expert!) It was delicious, but I discovered I don't care for my steak to be cut into very thin slices except for a sandwich. Ah, well. Can't argue great taste, even if the form sucks.
For wine, we had Brancott Estates Sauvignon Blanc, and it was marvelous. Very dry, with a tartness sort of like grapefruit, and my new favorite wine. It was recommended by an employee of the local liquor store, who's given me good advice before

I spent yesterday with my scout troop at a campsite on the east side of Chesapeake Bay near the outlet of the Susquehanna River(yeah, yeah, Camp Rodney). We had steady winds all day in the 20 to 30 mph range and that made it damned cold outside.
Anyway, the adult leaders, all male, prepared a jambalaya for our dinner (there was one heretical substitution -- kielbasa for andoullie sausage). Cooked over coals in a Dutch oven. It was fantastic and perfect for the circumstances. Having that experience of working together to create an excellent meal with the camaraderie that we have developed over many years made me appreciate what I had been missing since I stepped down as Scoutmaster at the end of last August. (To be fair, my absence was by my design so that my successor could establish his own way of running things and working with the youths.)

Hydrolyzed protein is a precursor to MSG. You do get glutamic acid as a breakdown product.
OTOH, you might be surprised where straight-up MSG does show up. Knorr Chicken Bouillon Powder, for example, is basically what chinese cooks would call "chicken powder" and MSG is the #2 ingredient (right behind salt).
Works great in certain stir fries...

While most restaurant wasabi is indeed dyed horseradish, I have had the real thing. Easy to know; it looks sort of moist and almost foamy compared to the usual stuff. At the really top places, or at many places in Japan, they will grate it right in front of you, on a special kind of grater, to show that you are getting the real deal.
Real wasabi is much tastier, and much less of an attack on your sinuses.

I used to meet up with a bunch of friends every year to do an annual tuna fish. We always blend the tuna after we caught it and put it on ice to prevent blood from spoiling the meet. And we always brought along some wasabi so we could have a little sushi on the boat.
And the night before we always met at that restaurant for drinks in the upstairs bar before heading out the next morning, well middle of the night.

The other day you mentioned seeing the port, almost, from your front yard where that luxury car ship was supposed to land. I had no idea such a huge facility had been built. Things have changed since the 1970s. Did the facility take out that house with the seasonal hen and rooster on the mailbox? (Along route 138 if I recall.)

Years ago, I figured out how to get rid of a meatloaf's soggy bottom ... Bake it only halfway in the loaf pan, invert it onto a wired rack atop a rimmed baking sheet (to catch drippings), then put it back into the oven to finish roasting ... Yes, more bakeware to clean ... But this method ensured I could actually serve meatloaf SLICES instead of chunks and blobs.

Tamago is a good way of introducing kids to sushi places. Most will eat and like tamago. Just a simple egg, what's to be afraid of? Then let them try a few tiny pieces of sashimi. Then move on to the harder stuff.

Each plate of 2 nigiri was about 80 cents. Just the basics -- tuna, salmon, eel, tamago, octopus, etc. Each seat had its own tea spigot (free, btw).
They just count up your plates when you're ready to leave.

Since it is so bloody expensive in restaurants, I used to go to the giant Asian grocery store in downtown, Uwajumaya. I bought sushi grade hamachi, ahi, clam, eel, salmon, black cod, just about anything I could find. Salmon roe and flying fish roe. Pickled ginger, wasabi and seaweed sheets to make our own rolls. Make sushi rice and serve with bowls of sprouts, English cucumbers, avocado and pickled radish.
For a fraction of the cost, we would eat sushi until it was coming out our ears.

After taking delivery of 5 lbs of lamb shank, which will go into a massive pot of Scotch Broth (5 lbs of shoulder will cook with the soup), I was preparing to simmer them to tenderness before stripping the meat from the bones. Then I thought: why not sous vide that?
After some reading, I've settled on 48 hours at 143.
Anyone know if it would be a bad idea to sous vide them in the vacuum bag they came in?

I am completely obsessed with my air fryer. I have a basket style air fryer. Looks like a giant egg, basket pulls out like a drawer. I try EVERYTHING possible in there now!! Last night I made a grilled cheese in there, and I will never do it the old way again! Butter each slice, assemble the sandwich (combo of American and provolone on Texas toast was the choice last night), 365 for 4 minutes, flip the sandwich, 365 for 2 more minutes. Perfect!!
Pro tip -- insert a toothpick into the sandwich while cooking the first side. Otherwise, the top slice can be blown off by the force of the air. Toothpick can be removed before flipping.

Lettuce prices were too high to swallow, so hubby got the more reasonably priced Napa cabbage to use the leaves for the bulgogi and rice lettuce wraps. I was dreading a tough chew, but the Napa worked perfectly! I now prefer it to lettuce.

The best meal I ever had in Japan was a Japanese full course whale meal. Whale in all dishes from different parts of the whale. Real old-fashioned fancy cooking. Yum!
If you happen to read my novel, "Wearing the Cat" there's a fictionalized description of that meal therein.

Prices are causing me to shred my own carrots. I mentioned my previous shredded carrot purchase was $1.99/package at HMart in Sept and then went up to $2.99 in Dec. Today, it was $3.99. This is 100% inflation in 6 months which annual would be 200%. It's why I bought starfruit - somehow, that hasn't budged from $3.99/package, so if I'm gonna pay that much, I might as well get something fun to cook.

It is good!
If you see it, Rothman and Winter Orchard Apricot is the best. The Luxardo is also good.
The nice thing about Apricot liqueur is that it's actually used in quite a few classic cocktails from the "Angel Face" era. So, you can get good use out of it.

Sipping rum I think is an exploding market in terms of demand, as more people discover it, but supply is more/less what it's been for ages, with a few new entrants responding to demand.
It's been yuuuge in Europe for years, including of course the UK. Think the American market is still in early stages of rapid growth.

He used to hunt rabbits with a hammer. (He said he could stun a rabbit on about every 3rd throw.)
I have eaten the rabbit stew that my grandmother used to cook. It was excellent!
My grandfather also used to hunt squirrels. (My grandmother's squirrel potpie was also excellent.) His pro-tip was to NOT throw any old male squirrels in the pot. He said their flavor was strong and nasty. They were only good for skinning.

They are made in the USA so no flaming container ships to navigate.

I have heard that the average American no longer eats a well-balanced diet, and that most of us require some vitamin and mineral supplements.
I am glad to see that you are looking out for the health of the Morons.

When I was still allowed to eat sushi, I used to frequent a place near my workplace. The chef/owner was Korean, his cooks Mexican. Nothing more American.

That's why you should only shoot for the head!
Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at February 20, 2022 06:48 PM
That is actually where my grandfather shot them when he was young.
When he got old, he would shoot them with a 20 gauge.
He used to give us a dime if we spit a pellet on the plate when eating squirrel or quail. That policy made it fun for young boys to eat wild game - and also lowered our consumption of lead!

It was very thoughtful of you to make up food. My own recent experience with people bringing food has been very humbling.

I used to trap and shoot the gophers at my Dad's place when I was a kid; caught more than 100. Had a pellet gun with a scope (found the scope in some weeds at the back of the property). With that pellet gun and scope, I could hit a yellowjacket 30 ft away. Used it once to snipe a gopher that kept eluding my traps. When he popped his head out, I popped him; the pellet went in his head and out his ass.

They have a fast food place here called Seasons of Japan. It is fried Japanese food cooked by Mexicans in the South. Not great, not terrible.

You know how some people had a fight or bad words as their last interaction with a friend or family member before they passed away?
You have done the opposite - your last thought is a happy one that you were going to bring over some tasty grilled meat to cheer them up!

It was passed by Proposition. Some rich lady here said horses were noble beasts that were never meant to be eaten as food (tell that the the folks that made those cave paintings). Unsurprisingly, Kali passed it.

There was a case I know of where an illegal alien was throwing rocks at golfers. One of the golfers ran over him with his golf cart...several times...leaving him either dead or crippled. Long story short: golf club went belly up, became field of weeds.
