Food Thread: Canada: What Is It Good For?

I'll be driving back from the frozen north during most of this thread, so please play nicely, and put your damned dishes in the dishwasher...or at least the sink!

The greatest expression of the oyster is raw, on the half shell, maybe with a bit of lemon, or mignonette (minced shallots and vinegar), or if you are a savage, cocktail sauce.

But there are other preparations that are delicious, and one of them is grilled or roasted with yummy stuff piled on top. New Orleans is a good place to go for that, and if you are stickler about that whole food-borne illness thing, roasted is probably the way to go with Gulf oysters, because they live in warmer waters that are more amenable to nasty stuff like Vibrio.

Aesthetically, I think raw cold water oysters are better anyway, so this works out pretty well for me. Which is fine, because as you read this I will be traveling back from America's Hat (thus the abbreviated Food Thread), whose only value as far as I am concerned is its oysters. And Poutine. I guess.

Hopefully I will have gorged myself on nice plump eastern Canada oysters and...um...that's it. Poutine is like Skyline Chili...better written about than eaten. They are both good for late-night meals after too much crap beer and jello shots. So if you are still in your early 20s...go for it!

Addendum: okay...I did have Poutine. It was a passed appetizer at a cocktail party, so I took one for the team! It was actually pretty tasty, but it really is a bit of a mess, no matter how well it is made.

Are the risks in a typical American's life so trivial that the hysterics among us have to go after odors? ODORS!

Your Smoker Will Kill Us All [And it will be a lovely way to go! (CBD)]

This new exercise in doom speaking comes to us from NOAA, and if it comes from the government, it must be true! Right? According to a new study, the odors from cooking food are creating a danger that has heretofore gone "unrecognized and underappreciated" as a source of urban air pollution. The introduction to the study literally warns that if one can smell it, there is a good chance it is "impacting air quality."

Oh...shut the f*ck up.

We used to die of all sorts of nasty things. Food-borne illness. Starvation. War. Pestilence. Good old marauding tribes. Fires. Mine explosions.

Modern society has done such a good job of minimizing and sometimes eliminating those risks that the pinch-faced scolds of the regulatory/environmental state have nothing better to do than bitch and moan about the delicious aromas of our cooking foods.

As an old friend once said, "These people could f*ck up a wet dream."

I have had gin made with seaweed. it was in Scotland, and it was local, and I had it in a dry martini to accompany some delicious Scottish oysters. So I may have been a bit biased, but I do remember enjoying it.

But this combines two things I like...Sous Vide AND drinking! Yippee!

Seaweed Gin Martini

I might have a quibble or two with the technique, and I absolutely have a major quibble with the martini recipe.

First, there is no reason to use a vacuum bag to warm alcohol and seaweed and lemon peel. Just toss it in a Mason jar with a good lid and you are all set. Second...anyone who makes a Three-to-One Martini is a savage, and should stick to silly drinks. A proper Martini -- a Man's Martini -- is Five-to-One. At least.

Why Kielbasa? Well, for Mothers' Day I grilled a bunch of different sausages, in addition to sublime American hot dogs (skin-on of course). And one of them was Kielbasa, which was fantastic. This was not supermarket stuff, which is fine but nothing thrilling. This was from an excellent local place I have raved about before (The Swiss Pork Store in Fair Lawn NJ). Creamy Bean Soup With Kielbasa sounds delicious, especially with great sausage, so I will be trying this as soon as the weather turns brisk in...oh...five months. Somebody remind me to make this dish!

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.

25 So, I finally made my budget (time, money, work) sushi "casserole" bake - and it was a home run. Even a little bit of a Weasel recipe b/c it was a Monday.

(For 6) Microwave 3 bowls of rice (I used the HMart white rice bowls) - you can make your own, but see sale and Monday. Set aside while you cook 1 lb of frozen salmon filets in the oven (take out 2 minutes before perfect doneness).

Then, get a 9x13. Lay the rice down and shake 1 TB furikake seasoning and soy sauce to taste (some want sushi drowning in it, some want it barely there). Then, flake the salmon over the top and follow with 1/2 lb of fake krab and flake that on top and drizzle with more soy. Toss in a 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes.

While baking, seed and dice 3 persian cucumbers, 2 small avocadoes, and 2 green onion tops. When the bake is hot, pull from the oven and scatters these on top. Then drizzle equal parts Aldi's siracha aioli and more soy. And serve. I forgot the ginger and the kids thought that was great...and it even cheaper.

Any fish works - so light and healthy. Only downside is you need to be careful serving, or it will become a mess.

We will make again, and continue to experiment.

29 I love raw oysters, but I will never eat a raw one from the Gulf. A tour of the Carlsbad Aquafarm was an incredible experience! The farm is in the inlet from the Pacific for a desalinization plant and they grow more quickly than the wild oyster (that felt strange to type). Your tour includes a tasting of several different oyster types and you shuck 'em!
As far as the feds coming after my grill/smoker...I'm grilling a dry-aged, thick cut ribeye tonight and roasting panko covered broccoli and cauliflower alongside...try to take my grill/smoker away from me.

The introduction to the study literally warns that if one can smell it, there is a good chance it is "impacting air quality."

Lessee here....so, last week I was conversing with someone who liked weisswurst and yet-

despite living in the Great State of Texas, which ought to be THE SAUSAGE CAPITOL OF THE USA, given all of the German and Czech immigrants what moved here, claims to be unable to find weisswurst.

I had to leave to attend to some cookery last week, but I'm back to say-

Pshaw!, sir. Pshaw!, I say.

If you live in the DFW area, go to Kuby's a German deli and meat market and restaurant,

and there you will be able to find not only Weisswurst but several other types of German sausage.

Get thee hence!.....uh, Tom Servo, IIRC.

99 57 CBD, as long as you're taking them for the Team, will you try screech, or Canadian bacon?

What Canadians call back bacon or peameal bacon is a thing of wonder, and it has no resemblance whatsoever to what Americans call "Canadian bacon". That monstrosity is akin to chicken nuggets made from compressing breast meat into lumps, only the raw material is ham bits and cellulose sausage casing.

The other things to try are Nova Scotia lobster, fish and chips, and PEI mussels. Oh, and good rye whisky.

123 Here's something that I thought sounded horrible but actually turned out to be something I like:

Arriving this Summer at your local grocery is-

Creamy Coconut Dr Pepper.

Way back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth and your local Tyrannosaurus Rex made Sno-Cones on the corner next to the Home Depot-

they had Coconut flavored Son-Cones.

That was my fave.

And the coconut flavoring they use in the DP tastes just like that, and surprisingly it blends well with Dr Pepper.

Give it a try. It won't kill you and you might like it.

I think I'll try mixing it with Coconut Rum for an Adult Beverage tonight.

YMMV.

132 I grew up on the eastern shore of Maryland thinking that the Chesapeake Bay oyster was the best there was. Then I moved down south and had an Appalachicola oyster and it was just as good if not a little better. Went out to CA on a wine country trip and had some oysters at Point Reyes and was like "whoa this is an oyster? It doesn't taste like the ocean floor!"

Then I moved to Maine and I experienced what can only be described as bivalve bliss. John's River/Damaraiscotta oysters are a divine gift from the heavens. It's truly amazing how fresh and clean a good Maine oyster tastes. Damn I'm getting hungry thinking about them.

I was just little, so for awhile, I thought gays were like Al Capone and Lucky Luciano.

I used to make personal thin-crust pizzas with tortillas. I'd put some coconut oil in the pan and merely fry the tortilla while spreading a super-thin layer of sauce, shredded cheese, and pepperoni slices on top. By the time the cheese is melted, the tortilla will have a light crunch. Pretty good.

257 I used to make personal thin-crust pizzas with tortillas. I'd put some coconut oil in the pan and merely fry the tortilla while spreading a super-thin layer of sauce, shredded cheese, and pepperoni slices on top. By the time the cheese is melted, the tortilla will have a light crunch. Pretty good.

270 "...be sure to frighten them..."

With fresh caught abalone, it's really important to smack/stun them, so they don't tense up. Once they tense, you have to marinade and tenderize the meat for hours. It's all good, but it's much easier to surprise them.

Sort of like dating in college.

The Missus makes a mean crab cake. The trick is to use the highest quality lump meat that you can get. The horrid stuff you get in even high end restaurants are made with ground up claw meat. Then use some saltines for binding, and just enough seasoning (e.g. Old Bay) to make you think you're on Chesapeake Bay. Finally, don't fry them, bake them.

Mohamed Mohamed Mohamed is gonna starve to death with my seeds if he kills me. If he gets lucky - which is unlikely. But he's out there. I've seen who is coming over the border - almost daily on Twitter - and this is beyond suicidal what is going on.

There are lakes that very few humans have fished in, so the fish literally bite on any lure
Poutine is disgusting, BTW
