Food Thread: Using A Coq Is A Cock Up!

Coq au Vin! Oh...grow up. Not that kind of coq! In fact, I didn't use a coq...I used a couple of fryers, because the dirty little secret of this most famous French dish is that by the time the old rooster has been braised into tenderness, it's pretty tasteless. But the sauce is delicious, so that's why they serve it with something to soak it up...good potatoes or even noodles. In my case it was a cheesy polenta and a loaf of sourdough.

There's nothing particularly complicated about the recipe, but this is one of those rarities where the original just isn't quite as good as a carefully thought out modern version. For instance, instead of braising for hours in red wine, I marinated the chicken in the wine for a couple of hours. That way it picked up plenty of flavor but didn't overcook. And I cooked the thighs and wings (about an hour) longer than the breasts (20 minutes, and it should have been a bit less), because...duh!

Aside from that I think I kept it pretty straightforward. And the results were delicious. And since it is a braise (quick...yes...but still a braise), I made it on Thursday for Saturday's dinner, and it worked just fine. In fact, it was probably better after a couple of days.

And yes, now you get the obligatory, "The pompous nonsense about using a wine you would happily drink is stupid, not backed up by experience, and is a total waste of money." I want to drink a $100 Burgundy with my Coq au Vin (I didn't but still...). Should I buy an extra bottle just so I can cook with it? NO! Cooking destroys most of the subtlety of wine, and what you are left with is the bare bones, which can be gotten very cheaply from any $7 wine from a reputable store. I used a $6.99 bottle of California Syrah, and since there was some left over after cooking, I tasted it. And it was fine. Fruit, tannin, maybe a bit of acid. Plain, generic wine, but perfect for my needs!

Boneless chicken wings can have bones, Ohio Supreme Court rules

The headline is a bit deceptive, because obviously they want idiots like me to click. The reality is a bit saner, but frankly, I am so sick of the whining and whinging from all sides of the food safety debate that a pox on both houses!

Republicans on the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that bones are a natural part of chicken so a consumer should be on guard for them -- even in boneless wings

Their arguments are dumb, balanced by the arguments on the other side, which are at least as dumb.

Yes, the guy was injured by a bone in what was advertised as "boneless." But "sh*t happens." Holding all of society to impossible standards...essentially perfection...is a recipe for a riskless society that descends rapidly into sclerosis. At the risk of expanding this profoundly stupid lawsuit into a critique of American culture in the 21st Century, it exposes the rapidly expanding fear of everything that has infected us.

We are terrified of the weather, of pesticides, of kidnappers, of tainted food and water, of cars that aren't 100% safe, of mean words, of playgrounds not lined with three feet of padding.

We need to return to the America of yore, when risk was managed, and sometimes embraced as the price we paid for achievements that astounded all of us. Most of us are here because our ancestors took a huge risk. Let's get back to that mindset, and eat "boneless chicken wings" without undue worry.

Sicilian Girl is a nice website that thankfully hasn't fallen into that horrendously irritating habit of 37 paragraphs of link-laden bullsh*t before the reader gets to the recipe.

I also checked with Rondinella Momma, who knows a thing or two about Sicily, and she gave her stamp of approval. And since she is singing in Sicily as I write this, I am going to take that stamp seriously!

******
Naturalfake was recently in Spain, and aside from raving about The Prado, Spain's national museum, he sent this along. And I am in awe! Octopus and Waffles?

It's a weird combination, but then Chicken and Waffles is a weird combination until you try it, so I will reserve judgement.

He still shakes his Manhattans, which is an affront to all that is good and fine and pure about cocktails, so don't take him too seriously!

******
Here's another installment in the never-ending saga of bald-faced lies about inflation that come out of our pathetic excuse for a government. Parsley? Doubled! Onions? More than doubled. Butter? Up at least 75%.

All of which is a result of filthy greedy corporations profiting on the backs of American citizens....right?

******
I was poking around Jamie Oliver's website, looking for interesting stuff to cook, or at least suggest that one of you maniacs cook it and report back. He has a new (to me) section for "Healthy Recipes," which irritates the f*ck out of me. Who the hell is he to say whether a recipe is healthy. In fact, you poncy Brit wimp, your grammar sucks. A recipe can be "healthful, not "healthy."

Anyway, I saw this: Homemade salt beef. As far as I can tell, it's corned beef, but the name "salt beef" has connotations of British ships of the line battling storms as they make their way into the Med to do battle with the French and Spanish navies, Lord Nelson seasick in his cabin, and sailors eating moldy hard tack and rancid salt beef.

Or maybe I am reading too much into it...

******
For those of you who like the edges of brownies!

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.

My and the world's patience has run out. Shaken Manhattans henceforth will be banished to the land of Long Island Ice Teas and Frozen Strawberry Margaritas.

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.

EAS - Emergency Alert System.

People with true Celiac's disease already know that corn, oats, and rice are gluten free. That label is for all the Munchausen allergics to sort it out.

The nice thing about trendy gluten-phobes , though, is that their demand increased the supply of quality choices for people who really need that. Silver lining, and all that.

I knew a supervisor at work who was told by docs to go gluten free to reduce abnormally high iron levels in his blood. Seems reasonable. And he is still the only such individual I remember who was prescribed such.

But yeah, all of a sudden all of humanity can't eat wheat? Seems a strange thing to virtue signal over.

78 The Ex used to buy two frozen turkeys after every Thanksgiving when they were being sold off for cheap, and keep them in the freezer as 'emergency guest food'. If someone was coming she could never decide what to make so she'd yank one of them out and make turkey.

Reading about the substandard food service at the Paris Olympics because "sustainability" and other woke and climate-related concerns had priority over providing sufficient nourishment to the athletes reminded me of a similar experience at our week in scout camp about a decade ago. The focus of the food service folks was to "minimize food waste" and they had set up a program to measure every possible aspect of that.

One way to minimize waste was -- surprise! -- to serve bare minimum amounts of items that were not popular, such as a single styrofoam cup worth of steamed vegetable medley for a table of eight diners. Other equally ridiculous strictures were put in place. No one, but no one, was happy, but the "generated food waste" weights and volumes were charted religiously after each and every meal!

It makes mixing the dough faster and easier than a spoon, the round sides make it easy to scrape the bowl and it cleans up easily. (Did I mention it is easy?) Such a simple tool and I don't have to haul out the Kitchen Aid mixer.

Posted by: Catch Thirty-Thr33 at July 28, 2024 04:20 PM (8sMut)

It's b/c of processing and farming...some farmers have multiple grain products growing and winds blow, so they don't always end up with "perfectly clean" product (aka, there can be a little wheat in the oats). Also, processing lines may or may not be dedicated solely to the grain.

I know allergies are tough for people, and this actually matters more to those with wheat allergies vs celiac (which as a huge intolerance, is still not immediately lethal). But, that's why you get the labeling.

It's also got to do with the fact that up until the 1970s or so most people with severe food allergies died young and never got the chance to reproduce.

But I can say there are people here who know a huge amount of differing things, people to learn from. There are also people who talk out of their right ear. If you don’t like what is being said, it’s okay to ignore. Same with you- people may ignore you.

If you are as young as you say, I will help you with this: Being a cold, prickly personality won’t get you far. It’s not cute. Normally it’s a defense mechanism. If that is what it is for you, you will have my prayers for peace in your heart.

152 In addition to the dough whisk I mentioned in comment 136 I rediscovered a simple tong that has been around for a long time but isn't seen so much anymore. Instead of the nutcracker style hinged at the top, it is a scissors type with angled triangular heads to grip. They work great for turning bacon and sausages and getting them out of the pan. Such a simple thing that works well. As I do more in the kitchen, I appreciate these small things.

BTW, Mrs. JTB inherited them from her folks when she left home. No telling how long her folks had them before that. So they have to be at least fifty years old but still look new.

Reading about the substandard food service at the Paris Olympics because "sustainability" and other woke and climate-related concerns had priority over providing sufficient nourishment to the athletes reminded me of a similar experience at our week in scout camp about a decade ago. The focus of the food service folks was to "minimize food waste" and they had set up a program to measure every possible aspect of that.

One way to minimize waste was -- surprise! -- to serve bare minimum amounts of items that were not popular, such as a single styrofoam cup worth of steamed vegetable medley for a table of eight diners. Other equally ridiculous strictures were put in place. No one, but no one, was happy, but the "generated food waste" weights and volumes were charted religiously after each and every meal!

Try it. We have a soul food kitchen in Mobile that makes it - I always get greens when we get food from there, because you want to talk about heavenly. Normally, I like a good cornbread to soak uo the juice, but you can’t get nuts when you are eating waffles, so sacrifices need to be made.

Anyway. Go eat some. 🙂

179 We tried a new cocktail I found, called the -

Enzoni

1 ounce gin
1 ounce campari
3/4 ounce lemon
1/2 ounce simple syrup
4-5 grapes, muddled (green or red)

Add ingredients to a shaking tin, muddle grapes, add ice and shake. Double strain into a rocks glass over a large clear cube.

This basically turns a Negroni into a kind of punch or English summer cup.

Very refreshing and fruity. Also works well straight up should you wish.

If you're someone who finds Campari too robust for your shy and retiring, delicate pink taste buds like CBD. I'd suggest you flip the amounts in the recipe between the Campari and lemon juice.

That'll make things a bit more sour yet keep the good things the Campri does for the drink.

Give it a whirl. Esp with Mediterranean chow! That's a good combo.

225 So ... I'm pretty sure the thing about "fried green tomatoes" started with the damn movie. And before that ? Yeah - I had certain folks of a certain demographic that rhymed with "gloomer" make fried green tomatoes.

Turns out ... with enough batter, you can eat anything. Pig Intestine. Squirrel Brains. Or tomato that is not ripe.

Helpful hint ... it's not the unripe tomato that makes the taste.

231 >>On the gluten free thing: it just shows how people in this country turn stupid when food comes up. Labels are all over my store that read "gluten-free". On OATS. On RICE. On ALL SORTS OF THINGS THAT HAVE ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY NOTHING TO DO WITH WHEAT.

Gluten is added to a lot of things to make it shelf stable/hold it together. You would be amazed at what has gluten hiding in in, such as: bottled spices. I know this because I have family with celiac who get violently ill when they eat something w/gluten in it (they are not doing this as a fad diet). That labeling is incredibly important, not dumb at all.

237 Part 2 chick pea veggie burgers

After draining and rinsing the chickpeas, place them in a bowl and mash them with a fork or use an immersion blender.
Add all the other ingredients to the bowl and use your hands to mix very well.
Use your hands to shape the mixture into into 6-8 patties.
Cook on the BBQ at 400 F for approximately 10 minutes per side or heat 1-2 tsp oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat and cook the burgers for about 5 minutes per side until browned and firm. Also ca oven-baked at 400 F for 20-30 minutes, flipping half-way through.

Can be frozen up to 3 months.

You should try Fried Green Potatoes. Or Fried Green Peppers. Fried Green Plantains.

Anything fried, and firm enough not to be ripe. Fried Green Apples would probably be a hit, depending on the batter.

240 Fried green tomatoes related: I recall one Thanksgiving at our minister's house, where he always had an odd assortment of people who didn't have family nearby. Someone brought what we thought was apple pie. My brother and I took a few bites and noticed something was off. It was a green tomato pie. For dessert. Ugh.

I would take those clams and set them aside while I chopped up green and red pepper, and onion and sauteed that. Chopped some Monterrey Jack cheese into small slices. Then popped the clams into the steamer, dropped the onion, peppers and cheese atop, broiled, then ate an entire hour of prep in about five minutes.

311 I had the job of covering Bam Adebayo (Miami Heat/Team USA) in his senior HS year and a few tournaments. That guy is cool, or at least he was 6 or 7 years ago. More than once he helped me reel in hundreds of feet of cable after a game. Never asked him, he would see me and then grab the cord and keep it straight, etc. Small thing, but I've liked him ever since those couple seasons of half getting to know him.

346 Making homemade mac 'n cheese. I used to make a white sauce, kinda like gravy; make a roux then add milk, then add in cheese until it's melted and thick. But that's a lot of work.

So, I started to cheat and just mix in sour cream and either cream of chicken soup or a can of nacho cheese to the cooked pasta, plus shredded cheese. Put it in a baking dish and bake away.

OK, this is how I used to make it for my kid when he was young and a very picky eater:
1. Have pre-cooked pasta in the fridge.
2. Put 1 or more slices of American cheese in a bowl with a little milk, microwave for 30 seconds, or whatever, so that it melts.
3. Stir it, then stir in some pasta.

374 Strip steaks are salted and resting in the fridge. Grilling to commence in about 90 minutes.

Made a very nice beef lo mien earlier in the week, marinating 1/2 lb of petite sirloin strips in 2 tbspns each of soy and oyster sauce, 1 tbspn dry white (cheap) sherry, 1 tbspn sesame oil, 2 tbspns corn starch 1 tspn sugar (optional) and 1 tspn ginger powder.

Prep your bok choy/cabbage/celery while marinating, stir fry with a sliced onion and clove or two of garlic. Plate when cooked to your liking, oil your wok again (I'm using a cast iron skillet, because 'Merica!) and add the meat. When about medium rare, add your veg and turn off the heat. Cook your favorite noodles (I think Udon works best, but you do you). Put in serving bowls when done, and add your wok/skillet product over the top. Garnish with green onions or peppers. Eat with chopsticks. Fingers also acceptable...

@351-nice hack! When my kids were little, they were picky enough that they only liked Kraft mac 'n cheese. that glowing orange powder was magical I guess.

Maybe the key is to get a somewhat deeper baking dish and not boil the pasta? Kind of like when making lasagna and doing the no boil thing before hand.

Seems to be much better quality meat than typical grocery store stuff (ie no gristly / chewy crud) and much higher fat content, so it's very nice for biscuits and gravy. And it's very tasty. We got the variety pack with regular, spicy and country and they're all good.

409 Doing up 10 mini pizzas for dinner for the family starting with a 10-pack of naan bread as the base. Pizza tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, then a selection of 3 meats depending on who wants what (sliced pepperoni, finely diced roast beef or finely diced roast chicken), black pepper for the chicken, sliced mushrooms, diced Spanish onion (for extra flavour!) and diced red/yellow/orange bell peppers.

Placed on metal trays, 2 large, 1 smaller, then into the oven at 400 deg F for 10 mins, then swap the top and bottom large trays and back in for another 10 mins, then take those two out and if the middle smaller one needs an additional 5 minutes it gets that.

I go thick on the toppings (because why wouldn't you?) If you prefer going thinner on your toppings, drop the temperature to 350 instead of 400 to avoid burning the naan.

Oven racks: We've got the standard two that came with the oven as well as a useful little riser-rack that clips onto the top two of the normal racks. Very useful for doing up pizzas or larger batches of cookies.

429 CELIAC ... Years ago, an 18-month-old child in our family (who began walking at 12 months) became so weak he could no longer walk ... Doctors were baffled because his only symptom was occasional bouts of diarrhea which -- by the time he was hospitalized -- eventually rendered him very weak ... Doctors at the hospital did every test imaginable over the course of 3 weeks (without a clear diagnosis) until, finally, his mother (having repeatedly seen gluten allergy as a possible reason for the diarrhea and weakness) demanded that her son be given some type of test for Celiac ... The mother made her request politely at first but, after a couple days, ended up threatening to pull her son out of that hospital and take him elsewhere ... Doctors surrendered, did the test, and results for Celiac were off-the-charts ... Then, after just 3 days after removing all wheat products from his diet, the child was able to walk again ... Doctors can be reluctant to test for Celiac Disease because there's almost no money in the cure.

e-bikes are rapidly becoming one of the leading sources of fires in NYC. There have efforts to ban them completely from indoor storage. The city is even talking about building separate facilities where they can be stored.

I will grant you that e-bikes have some legitimate uses, but ultimately they would not exist were it not for the great Gerbil Worming hoax. The people who ride e-bikes would be riding bicycles with little gasoline weed-whacker engines on them. Which do exist. And mopeds, of course, which have been in the market for 60 years or more. Unless one is a an athlete in great shape, riding up steep hills on a pedal bike is damned hard work.

455 429 Doctors can be reluctant to test for Celiac Disease because there's almost no money in the cure.
Posted by: Kathy at July 28, 2024

True celiacs are only 1% of the population, so it’s more odds are it isn’t than it is. As for money, normally, it’s insurance companies that balk at testing because of the odds. In a child that age, he would then go to a dietitian and nutritionist, both of who would be attached to the treating hospital. It’s not necessarily a money thing, but an insurance company thing.

457 I did a quick scan and everyone is off topic anyway.

Rasmussen dropped their latest poll today.

Trump 50
Harris 43

Out of curiosity I checked their final 2020 poll.

Biden 48
Trump 47

Hitting 50 in a poll is generally considered a highly significant benchmark. There are no longer enough undecideds that can change the direction of the race.

==================
Possibly, I suppose ... But this child was in the hospital for 2-1/2 weeks -- and having blood drawn daily -- before the doctors *agreed* to test for Celiac ... And had the test been done sooner, the insurance company would have had to pay for a lot fewer hospital inpatient days ... Another case of penny-wise and pound-foolish.

466 So nice someone agrees with me about cooking wine, why should we spend serious $$ for it when it gets simmered for hours, mixed with spices, herbs, veggies, and cooked in juices from meat, fowl & fish? I usually reach for any bottle I have in the house that has less than a third left in it.
