Food Thread – 9/15/2024

*****

Oysters and Salmon

Our normal host for this thread, Mr. CBD, is taking the day off from writing about food, presumably because he is currently researching the subject. There is a good chance that his research involves oysters, which he mentions in most every one of his Food Threads.

I share his gustatory passion for oysters. On a recent trip to Florida, I had baked oysters as an appetizer at one dinner, then I followed it with fried oysters as my entrée. When the plates were being cleared, my wife jokingly asked the waiter if the restaurant had any desserts that featured oysters. He said they could improvise if needed.

So where are the desserts or sweet & savory dishes involving oysters? How about an oyster sundae?

Anyhow, it seems inconsistent that I love oysters served any style (including raw), and I also love crustaceans, but as for finfish, I can take it or leave it. If fish is blackened, fried, smoked, or covered in a sauce, I generally like it, but if it’s just oven baked, I’d rather pass.

My wife, however, loves salmon. One thing she does that makes it more palatable to me is a simple, homemade dill sauce. Her quick recipe is equal parts mayonnaise and sour cream mixed with dill seasoning to taste. (She uses Spice Hunter Deliciously Dill.) The dill sauce is then slapped on a piece of salmon that was cooked in the toaster over. It’s quick, easy, and very good.

*****

Artisanal Bologna

As homogenized as this country is, it’s still fun to seek out local food specialties. One of the unexpected treats that I found when moving to East Tennessee is artisanal bologna. And it’s good!

There are numerous trendy and semi-upscale restaurants hereabouts where homemade bologna is featured as a protein, and where “artisanal bologna” sandwiches are on the menu alongside gourmet sandwiches and burgers.

Pit smoked bologna is also a thing here.

Any artisanal bologna fans out there?

Do any of you still pan-fry bologna like in the Depression-era, and serve it as the featured meat in a meal?

*****

Nostalgia for Defunct Food Products

What defunct foods from your younger days do you find yourself nostalgic for?

As a latchkey kid who had the house to himself during summer, canned pasta dishes were a childhood staple of mine. Franco-American Macaroni and Cheese was a particular favorite.

As we all know, Kaboom cereal pretty much defined Ace’s childhood. Are any of you nostalgic for Kaboom or other discontinued cereals?

I felt very space age eating Breakfast Squares at the bus stop if I slept too late to have a bowl of cereal. (Selling shelf-stable brownies as a breakfast item was a brilliant marketing move by General Mills.)

What other discontinued foods do you recall fondly, or otherwise?

*****

Cooking for a Crowd on Short Notice

You find out on short notice from your spouse / child / in-laws / etc that a crowd is descending on your house, and you’re going to have to feed a dozen or so people. What can you prepare on short notice, with little effort, that will feed the crowd, and have them praising the meal?

An option that I am usually provisioned for is a pot of red beans and rice with smoked sausage. There are usually several cans of Louisiana-style, creole red beans in my cupboard at any given time, and I likewise have several packages of Texas-style smoked sausage in the freezer.

I can grill up the sausage in a heartbeat, cut it up, and throw it on the stove top with the red beans. In a separate pot I can boil up some rice, and I might even make some homemade garlic toast.

Not a bad meal in less than an hour to feed the crowd.

What is your quick, feed-the-mob meal?

*****

Mushroom Chive Toast

Look at this tasty treat that my wife whipped together, literally, for a recent party.

It’s chopped, sauteed, baby bella mushrooms mixed with cream cheese, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, a dash of tabasco, spread on sliced French bread, sprinkled with chives, and baked.

It was a crowd pleaser, and since it used a baguette, I consider it French cooking.

*****

Are Cupcakes the Most Consistently Disappointing Treat

I’m guessing there must have been a good cupcake somewhere in my life, or else I wouldn’t have bought so many over the years, only to be consistently disappointed.

I’m clearly a slow-learner, since it took me a long time to understand that most cupcakes are just flavorless, dry pieces of edible sponge, topped by frosting, which is sometimes then decorated with candy confections. I wouldn’t eat a serving of just frosting and candy, but that seems to be where the action is in a cupcake.

To be fair, there are also a lot bad full-size cakes that are similar, but there are also great cakes that are moist and full of flavor even without the frosting.

Any cupcake fans want to set me straight?

What other foods and treats always look good, but so often end up being disappointing?

Throckmorton’s First Law of Live Music: If There’s an Upright Bass in the Band, It’s Probably Going to be Good

Let’s swing on out of here with an old Bob Wills tune about eating.

Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel are joined by four original Texas Playboys in performing “Roly Poly.”

Roly Poly
Eatin' corn and taters
Hungry every minute of the day
Roly Poly
Gnawin' on a biscuit
As long as he can chew it it's okay
He can eat an apple pie
And never even bat an eye
He likes anything from soup to hay
Roly Poly
Daddy's little fatty
I bet he's gonna be a man someday

12 Salmon is one of those things have to be cooked 'just done'. Too short of time and its raw in the middle, too long and you the white ooze.
Sadly, I never watch it close enough nd end up with white ooze and have to cover it up with some sauce.

@charliekirk11
Sources I spoke with informed me that the USSS advance team was scouting the holes ahead of President Trump as he was golfing. Agents spotted the suspect in the tree line in possession of a semi-automatic rifle which they believe to be an AK-47 or similar. The agents either exchanged fire with him, or else it was only the agents shooting at the suspect—this remains unclear. The suspect immediately fled into the trees and initially managed to evade agents, but was quickly apprehended and is now in law enforcement custody.

104 AP: Trump is safe after Secret Service opened fire at suspected person with firearm near his golf club
tinyurl.com/uf4yjh8n

Secret Service agents opened fire after seeing a person with a firearm near former President Donald Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, while he was golfing Sunday.
The person fled in an SUV and was later apprehended in a nearby county by local law enforcement, the officials said.
An AK-style firearm was recovered at the scene near Trump’s golf course.
The golf course was partially shut down for Trump as he played, and agents were a few holes ahead of him when they noticed the person with the firearm, the officials said. The person appeared to push the muzzle of the rifle through the fence line and that’s when agents fired, the officials said.

I like cake, but it’s rarely going to be my choice over pie, fudge, or any kind of shortbread with custard on top (the canonical form being lemon bars/squares). That said, there is no reason cupcakes should be worse than cake. If you’ve had good muffins, you’ve had good cupcakes. They’re the same thing.

But at most stores, cupcakes, like cakes, are decorations. They’re not food. They’re meant to look good. So take your favorite cake recipe or your favorite quickbread recipe, and make cupcakes. They’ll be your favorite cupcakes.

I did go through a liverwurst phase when I was a wee Meanie, probably because my older brother hated it.

One of the fun parts about growing up in the 70s was Mom preparing food in the kitchen with the little 14" TV in the corner. One night, Cronkite was showing footage of some civil war in Africa, and they showed some little kid about my age with his guts blown out while his mother was sobbing.

173 I love apple cider vinegar. Used Bragg's for years, even though it's more expensive, but they were sold to a conglomerate and my trust in such things is limited. (Huge understatement.)

I've read about making ACV at home using peels and scraps (no seeds) of apples left over from making applesauce. Seems similar to making sauerkraut. Anyone tried making their own ACV? Any suggestions about types of apples or things to look out for?

What's funny is we all could eat at each others homes and the food would be pretty much the same. The stuffed cabbage, the Kolbasz, Chicken soup with dumplings, etc. All of the moms learned from their moms who came from "the old country" at the turn of the last century. And, then, there was the pastries. OMG! No wonder I've been fighting the waistline battle all my adult life. LOL!!

2) Liverwurst Sandwich on white bread with mustard and pickles Though as stated above getting harder to find the liverwurst part of the Liverwurst Sandwich

3) Fried Egg Sandwich on White Bread with catsup

4) Still Around but Grotesquely Mutated so that it no longer tastes the same or good at all:
Swanson's Chicken Pot Pie, Swanson's Beef Pot Pie

5) Also mutated out of the delicious category:
Underwood's Deviled Ham served in a sandwich on white bread with mayo and pickle relish.

179 There was another biscuit shape of shredded wheat, from the old Post company I think. The bales were round and laid flat in the bowl.

Lea and Perrins offered a "white" Worcestershire sauce for years, that was really a sweet sauterne sauce with some of the Worcesterspices. As the saying went, I put that shit on everything, and used it as a base for sauces and marinade. Great on fish, shellfish, pork. Late in its career they started calling it "Rooster Booster." Unilever decided to kill it everywhere, and no one offers a pre-made sauterne sauce.

• Trader Josef’s Beef/Bean Stew. Pretty much the only canned soup I ever really liked, and I ate a lot of it when I lived in San Diego.
• Pepperidge Farm’s Mint Brussels cookies. They’ve apparently brought them back as a holiday-only item but I don’t need extra cookies during the holidays. I used to practically live on these in college.
• Wise Cheese Waffies. We called them Lich Waffles in my college gaming group. These plus Häagen-Dasz Vanilla Swiss Almond were my meals when the dining halls closed.
• Just about anything I used to like that is now made with HFCS or without lard.

Cooking salmon perfectly? Rumors are that it can be done. Rumors that you can not only cook it perfectly but add smokiness in the process?

Only once in a very long while can I achieve that. I use a wood fire and it probably amounts to mere seconds over the fire.

Wood fire is the key, so you got the right idea. The technique is to put the flesh side down first, and let it go for no more than a minute. I usually spread bacon fat on the skin during this step. Then flip it and let the fire lick the skin for no more than a couple minutes. On my smoker/grill, I can close the vent and cover, which banks the fire pretty quickly and sends up a nice plume of smoke. Pull the salmon after another minute, depending on thickness. Pair with a frosty Chardonnay..

302 My dad fondly remembered oyster stew as a poverty-row breakfast from back in the coal-shoveling days. It's just canned small oysters sauteed in butter. Whenever I could find big cans of oysters I'd get some for him, but he couldn't get over oysters being expensive in later years. His family only ate them because they were cheaper than meat and eggs, in the 30's.

In plantation days, chicken was a once-a-week luxury for the master's family, and they fed lobster to the slaves.

348 which was a mixture of butter, peanut butter and maple syrup

Here’s something you might enjoy:

¼ cup peanut butter; ½ cup maple syrup; 1-½ cups whipping cream.

In a very cold mixing bowl, blend the peanut butter and syrup until smooth. Add the cream and beat until light and full of air. Freeze for one hour, stir thoroughly, and then continue freezing overnight.

I found it in an old Vermont cookbook.

350 Bologna (baloney) story.

The backstory: my then girlfriend's grandma lived in Pella, IA and the Dutch ancestors make fantastic ring bologna. Dutch letters (pastry) too, but that's another thing. So whenever the family visited grandma, they would load up on bologna and bring it back with them. The way they prepared it to eat was by boiling, and then peeling the casing off.

So anyway, one day my girlfriend asked if I wanted some bologna. I said sure, since I was hungry. Well up until then I didn't know the backstory, and the only bologna I knew was the lunch meat kind. So she starts some water on the stove, and I'm like, what's that for. She said she was gonna boil the bologna, and I just about walked out. I was picturing her taking some Oscar Meyer and throwing it in the pan...shudder...

356 I am making apple cider vinegar on my counter right now.

I make it in a gallon jar, but I have made in in a half gallon jar too. My recipe is:

chop up apples, or use skins, and cores (I cut out the wormy cores because I am posh) You need the raw skins because that is where the wild yeasts live. I chop them to chunks about the size of the last joint of my thumb.

I then put them into a jar, and and fill the jar up mostly full with tap water. You can use distilled water, or bottled water, but I never found there was a problem. If you worry, then hold back some apples, and put them in the next day when the chlorine has had a chance to react out against the apples.

If you have apple cider with a live culture like Braggs, add some. Other wise just cover the jar with a loose top, or a cloth.

Stir the fruit down with a clean wooden spoon once a day until the fruit sinks to the bottom. It will smell like alcohol.
Then let it sit until there is a clearish white gooey skim on top of the jar. That is dead yeast cells, and the "mother" and it means your juice is going to vinegar.
When it gets thickish and smells like venegar, you can start using it.

366 Lebanon bologna is a type of cured, smoked, and fermented semidry beef sausage; it is not, in spite of its name, a pork-based bologna. Similar in appearance and texture to salami, it is somewhat darker in color, and is typically served as a cold cut or appetizer.

367 If you want to make a second batch of apple cider vinegar, put the "mother" in a new jar, add the fruit like before, and then the water. You do the same thing but it should take less time/

I have used raw apple juice, and the squeezed pulp from pressing apple juice. It all works to one extent or another.

remember to strain out the old fruit eventually.

Honestly...I can't really answer the question b/c the crowds that have descended of this size have been so different.

I make a nice try of freshness and one dip...and folks are happy.

It wrote about Ryan Routh, a former construction worker from North Carolina who spent several months in Ukraine last year and is now seeking recruits among Afghan soldiers who fled the Taliban. He plans to move them to Ukraine from Pakistan and Iran – in some cases, illegally. Nevertheless, dozens of people have apparently expressed an interest.

Tripe was a much-feared dish when mom made it. The smell was horrid, so us kids opted for the liver. That was the choice. When she felt charitable, she'd prepare the liver with bacon, but most days it was either tripe or liver. Mom was a gifted cook, but she fell under the mistaken idea that organ meats had to be thoroughly cooked, i.e., vulcanized.

Anyhew, one day at the table, the tripe was looking good to me, garnished in a nice tomato sauce, so I asked for a taste. My brother and sisters thought I lost my sense, but whodathunkit, it beat mom's liver by a country mile. I don't trust myself to make it, but I may need to get over this and make the effort..

With Legion growth stalling, Ryan Routh, a former construction worker from Greensboro, North Carolina, is seeking recruits from among Afghan soldiers who fled the Taliban. Routh, who spent several months in Ukraine last year, said he planned to move them, in some cases illegally, from Pakistan and Iran to Ukraine. He said dozens had expressed interest.
"We can probably purchase some passports through Pakistan since it’s such a corrupt country,” he said in an interview from Washington.
It is not clear if he has succeeded, but one former Afghan soldier said he had been contacted and was interested in fighting if it meant leaving Iran, where he was living illegally.

The New York Times article backs up the Russian Defense Ministry’s information regarding the countries which are actively trying to recruit mercenaries to join the fight in Ukraine. It wrote about Ryan Routh, a former construction worker from North Carolina who spent several months in Ukraine last year and is now seeking recruits among Afghan soldiers who fled the Taliban

The New York Times also reported when Lee Harvey Oswald went to the USSR. They sure seem to be on top of stuff the CIA would know.

Pea soup is not hard to make, you need split peas, and pot to boil them in. It is good to have some sort of hambone or similar for the meaty taste, and you can shred carrots in for a bit of color. You do have to blend it though.

For some reason the sauce was better and tastier than their Spaghetti-Os and some others that were just too dang sweet. It was the only Chef Boyardee that I would eat. (OK, Mom made the pizza stuff on occasion, because we weren't always middle class.)

Also, the Progresso Tomato Florentine with Italian Sausage soup. The discontinued it ten years ago or so. It was good. And, now that I look at it, it had the same waxy pasta, and the little sausage bits look kinda like the meatballs in Roller Coasters......

Probably not, I buy distilled white vinegar for cleaning and canning, and I use the homemade stuff for mixing with water for drinking, and for cooking. I used about 2 gallons last year. It is however, free, which is my favorite price-point. I have apple trees and I hurt a little inside for every apple I toss into the compost heap.
It is supposed to be good for what ails me, whatever that is, so I do like drinking it. It kills the chlorine taste.

495 As a young'in, one of my lost favorites was one of those Banquet or other-brand frozen dinner trays. I think it was "Chicken and Dumplings", but unsure if it was Banquet-brand, or named differently.

It was chicken cubes in chicken gravy. On top of it was a layer of dough. All in a family-sized, large rectangular tray, so it wasn't a pot pie. Though it would be one of the best pot pies if it were.

It would have to cook for a while in the microwave, which would harden the dough on top like a crust. I believe the dough had indentations into 4 rectangular sections. so you could break apart and quarter the dinner for a family of four.

Or just feast upon it yourself.

One of several products I sorely miss.
