Food Thread: Mothers' Day Edition

***

I have two mothers to feed today, and while one would happily eat steak every day for the rest of her life, the other broadens her horizons somewhat and likes the good old American hot dog.

And so do I, so it is not a chore. The real question is: What sort of toppings go best? The answer is chopped onion, a bit of sauerkraut, and some good brown mustard. I will brook no discussion about this...the deluded few who do not embrace The Dildo Way are simply wrong.

However, in the interest of peace and comity, I have graciously... generously... wonderfully... agreed to expand the toppings somewhat. Chili sauce and grated Cheddar were thrown into the suggestion box -- probably in the dead of night -- so I will consider it as a token. But it is a childish and ultimately disappointing way to treat one of the glories of American backyard cooking, and yes, that is a thinly veiled sneer. Sautéed onion and peppers is also on the list, but I think that goes better with more robust sausages...maybe a sweet Italian?

I really must stop settling, but I will also allow yellow mustard. Ketchup however is a bridge too far, and I will have security escort out anyone who asks.

******

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I lived in a student co-op (commies as far as the eye could see), and we had a rule: "Do not put inane things in good food." And while I like sugary, tart candy as much as the next guy, in the context of Oreo cookies, they are in fact inane!

And pretty damned gross sounding.

******

"The lurker sometimes known as Marty" has another flavor of bear meat, but it is maple/blueberry sausage! I'll need a ruling from the Horde, since my rules consider both of those ingredients to be inane with meat.

Well, most of the time. Maple syrup glazes can work on pork, and fruit admittedly goes well with some meats.

Good butter, and Flap Meat...whatever the hell that is...just send it, Broccolini that isn't $6/bunch, garlic...lots of garlic!, well-marbled hanger steaks and elk chops to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com.

Who are those poor deluded souls who shake their Manhattans? These are the same people who drink fine bourbon with coke, and probably shake red wine with ice too.

However, I will give dispensation to those who use maple syrup on Brussels Sprouts! I tried that and it worked nicely. I still prefer Agave, but still...

And yes, I used to demand fancy bourbon, but let's face it, $1,200 for a bottle of bourbon is just stupid, insulting, and a ghastly affront to most people's palates and wallets. I think the sweet spot is $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle.

10 If it's just a plain ole run of the mill hot dog on a white bun, mayo and dill relish. Possibly chili and white onions, but no cheese! If it's a real beef frank, mustard, grilled onions, and the bun should be toasted. Brats are a whole different conversation.

11 I am not cooking today.

My girls made me Belgian waffles with a fresh berry sauce (strawberries and blueberries) and bacon for lunch.

My boys and spouse are making my fakeout meatball subs with sweet potato fries and roasted okra for dinner.

I would have asked for sushi or fish, but they took me out to a sushi lunch Friday (where weekday lunch specials make sushi affordable - lunch for 6 "adults" for under $100 including a 20% tip is kinda amazing)...and the boys don't trust themselves with fish, so I'll probably make something this week...

18 I don’t even remember the last time I ate a hotdog. I think my body would revolt. I am, however, eating a little more decadently than I would on the average day. I am being made a delicious dinner tonight of filet, charred green beans with a balsamic reduction, and baked sweet potatoes.

Mother of my children is getting crab clusters for dinner. To dip in 'drawn' butter. Not sure where the name came from except it's a long drawn out process to skim the foam off, then extract the 'good stuff' from the top, middle, and almost bottom. What settles at the bottom, the grit? Toss.

22 As for hot dogs, made them for the 1st time in 9 months this week.

I had picked up a wildly on sale sauce - Sabretts Onions in Sauce. It was wild. It was almost horseradishy vs oniony, but it did make a great topping with relish and yellow mustard for the dogs.

Usually, I am just raw onion, relish, and dijon, but this was a fun sub...for about $2/jar. (I think Safeway originally wanted $12, so this was another "buy the discount thing and figure it out" purchase).

26 I have no problems with the hot dog condiments, but I would also add (wet) crushed hot peppers, because I add this to most everything, and I'm also somewhat partial to relishes.
However, with condiments, less is better. Just a touch of a few.
Oh, and celery salt.

A variety of toppings are ready after the dough is handcrafted into rounds.

Posted by: Nova Local

We had the same breakfast! I had 1/4 of a whole grain Belgian waffle this morning from our local little healthy place where they make fresh pressed juices, topped with fresh berries that were all perfect (strawberries, blueberries and blackberries) along with an almond milk latte. It was delicious. Their coffee is so expensive so I don’t get it very often but when I do, I am reminded how good it is. No bitterness at all. I don’t know how they make it so much better than anywhere else.

I am drinking my green juice for lunch (chlorophyll, lemon, celery and a little maple syrup plus water).

Dinner will not be so healthy, however.

38 We recently joined Costco and realized that you can buy their Kirkland hot dogs for home. The ones you buy for in the store for $1.50 are okay but if you cook them at home OMG! The hot dogs themselves are so good that much more than mustard detracts rather than adds.

PS - I love Belgian waffles so much, I have a maker for them, even in a townhome kltchen. But it is a pain to make them for 6...thus, why I'm so happy to let my kids make one waffle at a time, so everyone can have one...vs me doing it

I'll never forget when they came out with mystery Oreos. My kids went through a phase of wanting to try all the new flavors when they came out a few years ago (it's probably a decade, but don't tell me), and when we tried Fruit Punch Oreos, they swore they were the worst ever. Then, a few months later, there was a Mystery Oreo, so I bought it for them. If it wasn't the same DANG Oreo...my kids swore off ever buying "mystery" flavors for any foods ever again, figuring they were always gonna be the repackaged worst flavor of a product.

The chili-cheese dog with raw onions and mustard is one of the glories of Western Civilization.

Though I can also go for:

Mustard, onion, pickles or relish

Mustard, onions, sauerkraut

Chicago dog

You'll notice a general theme above.

Those who put mayo on a hot dog should be taken out back and hung then buried in an unmarked grave lest their perversion spread.

Those who put catsup on a hot dog probably had a poor upbringing and should be pitied, but also beaten with a frozen mackerel until they stop their filthy habit.

Made Hazan's Minestrone Soup recipe yesterday.

It was delish! But, also like chili, she said it was better the 2nd day and....she was right.

This may be one of those things you can make ahead of time to serve to guests and they'll think you were a hard-working genius in the kitchen.

Oh! I'm now a believer in throwing the leftover rind from Parmesan cheese into soups and stews. You get a light, umami/ cheesy vibe to your dish.

107 What's the difference between ketchup and catsup?

Grape Catsup.

Wash and stem the grapes, and stew them slowly, with a little water if necessary, until they are soft enough to rub through a colander. Measure the pulp, and return it to the preserving pan, allowing to three quarts of it 2 lb. of brown sugar,
a pint of vinegar (white wine or cider), an ounce each of ground cloves, allspice, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper, and a saltspoonful of cayenne. Boil all together
until the quantity is reduced to about one half, and is very thick. Skim, take from the fire, and when cold bottle and seal with wax.

119 38 We recently joined Costco and realized that you can buy their Kirkland hot dogs for home. The ones you buy for in the store for $1.50 are okay but if you cook them at home OMG! The hot dogs themselves are so good that much more than mustard detracts rather than adds.

It's been years since they disappeared, but I still miss the Polish sausages which were once available at the Costco food courts.

133 Banana catsup (no, really!) is a surprisingly good substitute if tomatoes are off-limits. According to the label on the version I bought, it's a WWII Filipino invention, created during a shortage of tomatoes and a surplus of bananas. Has a nice tang, and is just sweet enough.

151 So, finally gonna tackle the sushi bake casserole tomorrow...

Gonna use some frozen salmon with some on sale krab this week (and almost cook through the salmon so I can flake it like the krab). I think I'm then gonna layer a 9 by 9 with cooked white rice drizzled with soy and furikake seasoning...then topped with the fish and baked for 5-10 minutes to warm through...then topped with diced cucumber, diced avocado, diced green onion, diced pickled ginger and then soy and this Aldi's siracha aoili I tried tonight on the sweet potato fries which I think should rock on the fish as the "spicy" version of sushi...and some salt and pepper somewhere.

Very budget, so if it fails (fish is under $8 total for 1.5 lbs)...well, it's a Monday dinner...and I might let the kids make homemade muffins (and we'll have some more Mother's Day sale strawberries), so there will be something else to eat...

157 Sausages of various kinds are better than hot dogs, which seem to be the mild, bland, American version of what used to be a semi-ethnic food.

I went a local rodeo yesterday. The only substantial food being offered was hamburgers, hot dogs, French fries.... Except for the firefighters, who had sausages with onions and peppers (though, you could have it without). Excellent food with no additional toppings, suitable for the strength required to stand for 2 hours (it was a standing room only crowd when we got there, an hour before the events started - 3,000 people).

(They also had funnel cakes, popcorn, kettle corn, and cotton candy. It was a fun 3 hours.)

168 I am almost ashamed to admit this, but I bought a dozen Jell-O packs because they were deeply discounted. The problem seems to be they were made to add a flavored sparkling water that isn't carried around here. (AHA brand)

I substituted storebrand citrus. It was a hit.

Anyone else trying weird foods just because they're on sale?

Hot dogs: one side mustard, other side ketchup, and sweet relish down the middle - on a steamed bun!

Wursts are wonderful, especially on a German roll (hard outside crust, soft on inside) with mustard. And a bier!

170 We just tried some beer cheddar beef and reindeer sausage from Alaska Sausage Co. Guy who started that is straight from Bavaria, so he knows sausage. Anyway, nice and fatty, with tons of flavor, and the outside crisps up nice and brown with some lovely carbonization. I can also see this sliced thin and added to baked mac n cheese. I think you can order it online.

175 FETA CRANBERRY PINWHEELS
I just tested this recipe for upcoming summer
get-togethers, and all my tasters loved them:

8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 c. feta cheese crumbles
1/2 c. finely cut green onions
3/4 cup dried sweetened cranberries
2 large flour tortillas (burrito size)

Combine the cheeses and onions in a bowl; mix well. Divide and spread mixture evenly between the two tortillas, pushing the cheese mixture nearly to the edges. Sprinkle dried cranberries evenly between two tortillas. Roll up tightly, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate at least one hour (or overnight). To serve, cut each roll into 12 slices.

Spinach tortillas will yield a festive look for the holidays ... Can also be made with gluten-free tortiillas.

176 Marcus Rieker of Rieker's Prime Meats in Philadelphia had this to say Weisswurst vs Bockwurst:

Weisswurst. Type of bratwurst, which translates to "white sausage," is a very mild, finely textured veal and pork sausage native to southern Germany. Seasonings might include lemon, nutmeg, and white pepper. In German tradition, weisswurst is poached, served in a bit of its cooking water, and eaten by sucking the meat out of its delicate casing.

Bockwurst. Essentially a weisswurst but a little smaller and seasoned with fresh chives or sometimes parsley. The fully cooked sausage is commonly eaten at breakfast

180 Hot dogs didn't become a classic because they are good - they became a classic because they are cheap. Being the least meaty form of meat, they need something to kill the taste, and something to provide broader nutrition. Chili and cole slaw do this the best. Onions and mustard can be included.

Better forms of sausage, like brats and 'gourmet' hot dogs, need less cover. Real German brats get mustard or sauerkraut. Sabretts onion sauce is great, but at its best when served from a pushcart in NYC.

Best hotdog I ever ate was from a greasy roach coach in the industrial park in Newark New Jersey. It was so good I went back and got a second one. Two weeks later I was back there and went to the same food truck. Same truck different guy and the hotdog was nasty, I tossed it out.

186 I made a red curry last night over rice noodles. I used a different recipe that called for coconut milk and peanut butter, and included bananas added on the end so they would get cooked but not cooked to paste. It made it more like a satay, which was surprising.

Posted by: gourmand du jour

seed oils are linked to inflammation, and may be toxic to your liver if (the oils are) cooked to hot.
I have heard a lot of biochem supporting these two statements, but on the whole there are actual studies linking chronic inflammation correlation to seed oils.

If you add the studies coming out that seed oils really don't reduce heart problems at all, the only reason to use them is cost, and the fact that vegetable based margarine spreads better on bread at room temperatures.

there are a lot of speculations about that, one is there was a better profit margin on the seed oils, and another was the idea that animal fats are bad as a matter of faith from influential madmen like John Harvey Kellogg and Ancel Keyes, and a third is that the seed oils being cheaper hide inflation caused by the Federal and Fed policies.

I can say that since the adoption of "seed oils are good and animal fats are bad" policies to combat heart disease, the incidence of heart disease has gone through the roof in the last 60 years.
whatever seed oils do, it doesn't seem to reduce heart problems.

Well, Brave AI says seed oils high in omega-6 fatty acids can be inflammatory. I just bought bottle of canola oil cause supposedly healthier. It's high in omega-6. Oh well.

Posted by: olddog in mo at May 12, 2024 07:12 PM (ju2Fy)

205 The only reason canola is supposedly "better" is because it contains considerably less erucic acid than rapeseed oil, i.e. a bad omega-9 fatty acid. Unfortunately it doesn't make it any better in terms of omega-6's.
