Food Thread: Brisket And Sauterelles Dans La Pâtisserie

That's brisket...Jewish style! or more accurately, Eastern European Jewish style. Given my druthers I would eat Texas smoked brisket, because it is the Platonic ideal. But the Jewish version ain't bad.

It's really just a pot roast with attitude. traditionally there are some sweet components to the recipe, and I have heard rumors of raisins in it. Yeah...that's weird, and I will not be putting anything silly in my brisket for Rosh Hashanah.

What I will be putting in is wine and ketchup, which don't seem to go together, but work nicely with the fattiness of the brisket.

What? Use just the flat? Nope...not in Chez Dildo. Remember the First Rule Of Fat? It adds flavor, and the point of the brisket has oodles of lovely, unctuous, flavorful fat. Managing that fat takes some effort, but it's nothing out of the ordinary with braises. I might trim a bit more than usual, but even that is okay, since I will happily render the trimmed fat for frying.

This is rapidly approaching axiom status.

Fat: eat it!

Any questions?

Even the cowardly, authority-loving, muzzie-accomodating Frenchies are pushing back against the lunacy that is enveloping the eating world.

Let Them Eat Crickets!

France has a long history of well-heeled elites telling other Frenchmen how to live. These days, those prescriptions mostly have to do with the environment. Or that is the claim, anyway. So the Mayor of Paris wants municipal employees not to eat so much meat

And they don't like it one bit! Good for them!

But it's just socialism wrapped in a vegetarian cloak. And they have been voting for that crap for a long time, so it shouldn't come as a surprise.

And we haven't dodged that sort of crap. Take a look at school menus reccomended by the Department of Education. They are insidiously slipping vegetarian options and planet-friendly foods into our children's world. Hell, I look at the many restaurants in my town and a few of them are explicitly vegetarian or vegan, and more of them have those options on their menus.

Who willingly eats that sh*t?

Here in the U.S. barbecues will be under attack soon, if they are not already. The Left hates enjoyment of all forms, including dietary. They want you (not them) to eat bugs, not steaks and pork chops. They claim it is about the environment, but that makes no sense: really, it is just about the Left's eternal lust for power over the rest of us. Don't let them get away with it.

Yup!

There's always a different way to cook...everything!

I really like halibut, and my preferred method is to choose a thick piece, then sear it on both sides and finish in a medium oven. It works, but it is very time sensitive. A few extra minutes and the halibut is a bit dry, and with the price of halibut these days, that is not an acceptable result.

But last week I watched a friend make halibut in a different way, and I am nothing if not a thief of someone else's good technique!

He used small and relatively thin pieces and gently sautéed them in butter. Lots and lots of butter! The fish turned out perfectly cooked, with light browning but not an ounce of toughness or dryness. And of course he made a Beurre Blanc, which is nothing more than a butter-based pan sauce.

Absolutely delicious, and something that will change the way I cook fish.

******
Best Mustard Ever might be a tad optimistic. There are some glorious commercial preparations that come damned close to perfect. But homemade mustard sure is tempting, although a friend who enthusiastically suggested that it was easy to make was also a tad optimistic. I tried, and it is definitely harder than it sounds.
******
Good Italian-American cooking is wonderful. Nothing outrageously complicated, nothing using expensive ingredients (although veal is stupidly pricey), and there is a certain aesthetic to the classic restaurants that makes them tremendously appealing.

This one is my favorite!

I was sitting at the bar, waiting for one of the brats, drinking an excellent martini (Hendricks, a small splash of vermouth, and a twist. As God intended), and I realized that they are gradually falling by the wayside. There are some in NYC, Philadelphia, maybe Chicago and San Francisco, but they are essentially neighborhood restaurants run by recent immigrants, and nowadays we get other sorts of food at those joints.

What did I have? An order of their excellent meatballs and the Arancini special to start, then a Chicken Sorrento with sautéed spinach.

I hope Leo's and the rest of that sort of place last forever!

******
Man...I really like pan-fried foods. Unfortunately my stove hood is cruel joke, and I hate cleaning the stovetop.

I think you lunatics should rotate cleaning duty and I will cook for you.

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.

Years ago for our office Christmas party one of the guys organized a dinner at an Italian restaurant in the North End. It was actually the 2nd story of a home.

Only about 4 tables in the place for normal occasions but we had the whole place that night. The hostess asked us if we would like to order of if we would like the chef, her mom, to choose for us. We, of course, went with option 2.

One of the best dinners I've ever had. So much food and it was all fantastic.

One of the advantages of living solo is not having to fuss over kitchen cleanliness. A few times a year, when it becomes an eyesore, I will break down the stove top and make it spotless. Then I don't want to cook on it and mess it up.

What to do? If I'm frying, I'll lay newspaper over the top, cutting a hole or two to accommodate the cast iron, and have at it. Toss the paper out when your done, and no one's gotta know nuthin...

44 This week, I learned how to make congee (simple stuff - just plain rice porridge with some mushrooms and ginger. Nothing special, which is the point. I like a simple congee) and it turned out splendidly. It's incredibly easy, I just assumed it wasn't. I will be keeping it in inventory for the foreseeable future. A little bowl of congee makes a great lunch, with some protein on the side (a hard-boiled egg does nicely).

I'm also dialing in lasagna. I have a recipe that I liked on my first two attempts, but the ratios were off (too much noodle on attempt 1, too much sauce on attempt 2, etc.). I keep trying. Lasagna is expensive to experiment with, though. I really hope I have it nailed this time. I'll know in a couple of hours.

I drove up to Kansas City on Friday, right through the heart of Kansas' main producing area for quality grass-fed beef.

There were surprisingly few cattle out in the fields.

Further, you can usually see the cow paths where they take common routes to water or through pasture gates. There were giant land holdings with zero cow paths.

Have the beef processors managed to severely push down the profits of beef producers? That is certainly going to eventually raise future beef prices.

Cod takes very well to butter and vice-versa. Melt the butter to just about it's smoke point, add cod filets, lower heat and flip the cod after about a minute. Cook about two minutes on the other side. Plate and squeeze a bit of lemon, toss in some capers if you have em..

I've never had quail, either. Quail eggs, yes, but not quail itself. Odd. You'd think I'd have had at least one of those. Yet, no. I need to try them.

We eat the small channel catfish. Up to 3# are a good size to clean and eat. We take a picture with a happy kid and throw the big ones back!

Harvesting from a "clean" pond makes a huge difference. People in flyover country are actually starting to utilize tilapia to eat algae and keep the ponds clean. They die off in the winter, so they are not invasive if they escape the ponds.

I know guys that eat the tilapia they catch when they start to get sluggish in the fall. They say that those tilapia are good eating, but I have not had any of those.

I got in trouble my senior year in high school because I happened to look out the window during English and saw the most magnificent pheasant ever just walking around. Apparently I had tremendous impulse control because I left class and went outside and caught it, and brought it in. The English teacher was not amused and I got detention. I didn't get to keep the bird either.

When we were little, my father used to bring a stack of dimes to the table. Anyone that got a pellet, got a dime.

A great way to make kids chew carefully and make sure they don't actually consume lead pellets. It also makes you look forward to getting a pellet.

As a kid, we ate quail, pheasant, duck, goose, doves, and prairie chickens.

All very tasty. The ducks and geese are a little strong and greasy with dark meat for people that think that flavor is too gamey (including most kids). My mom would cook the ducks with orange slices and wine. That sweetness really offset the gamey flavor very well.

109 Is this it?

Icelandic Rye Bread (Rúgbrauð

This dense, mildly sweet, hearty rye bread is ubiquitous in its native Iceland, where it’s traditionally sliced very thin and served with smoked, cured, or pickled foods. That said, it’s also delicious with a simple smear of salted butter. Since it’s leavened with baking powder and baking soda (not yeast), it’s simple to throw together: no kneading, no rising, just mix, bake, and enjoy.

159 We hadn't eaten any fish last week, so yesterday a sauntered into the grocery with the idea of making Grilled Salmon Tacos with Pineapple-Chili Salsa.

But, they had a pretty good sale on swordfish, and I considered the fact that we hadn't eaten any fat, healthy parasites lately, so I opted for the swordfish.

The upside on the swordfish is that once you give it a good trimming, it cooks more or less just like a nice steak.The meat takes a good, hard sear and still remains juicy.

The Swordfish Tacos with Pineapple-Chili Salsa were excellent. The parasite weren't bad either!

Also made guacamole with chips and margaritas.

A fun time was had by all!

Catfish is an acquired taste.

"Swai" is a product from communist Vietnam (bottom feeding catfish to be honest) with the slightest hint of Agent Orange as a flavoring agent. It 'pairs well' with wine grapes grown from soil heavily treated with 'Roundup' and watered from the Camp Lajuene aquifer.

When I told my daughter this truth she - with tears in her eyes - asked, "Why are the Republicans doing this to our country?"

171 If anyone is into halibut, try my way:

1. Fat thick cuts of halibut

2. Drown in quality melted butter

3. Bake at 375 to 130 internal temp. I use a quality thermometer stuck into the fish when I put in oven

4. Take out. Drown in melted butter. Add a squirt of lemon. Season with pepper, salt, and some old bay. I’d youre adventurous, add some za’atar.

Try it. Youll thank me later.

Posted by: Ben Had at September 22, 2024 05:40 PM (I1GXe)

For shrimp fajitas, if I were grilling them, I'd just do something simple.

Probably a quick marinade with lime juice, olive oil, lots of garlic, salt, pepper, maybe chop up a jalapeño or serrano.

Then onto a hot grill or griddle.

I'd mostly depend on the salsa or something like a chipotle-ranch sauce to add extra flavor.

There is something about halibut and butter. One recipe I've used also uses mayo. I know... gag, but it's pretty good. The seasonings are more to the salty side than lemon, but lemon is still used.

This seems key:

In Paris, the mostly upper-middle-class, environmentally conscious voters who form the bedrock of Hidalgo’s support have welcomed the trend. Many expressed support for the MP Sandrine Rousseau when she denounced barbecues as an environmentally damaging tradition perpetuated by red-meat-eating men with sexist values. “They are symbols of virility,” she said, making it plain that virility was not a good quality in her eyes.

They want to destroy French tradition, all part of the patriarchy -- and less protein = less masculine. Sickos.

Rumor has it that your neck of the woods gets a lot of Weller bourbon. Maybe we can arrange a trade? A couple of bottles of Weller Antique 107 for the equivalent Antelope (or whatever piques your fancy)!

235 Right now I’m marinating, well, more like tossing, brass in a walnut shell purée.
But I did just finish a large Idaho spud with butter and sour cream. Mmmm.

No really, I am still doing follow-on construction after the fencing went up, and am interested in raising small numbers of 'unconventional' things.

Lightly tumbled brass embraced by a walnut shell crumble, with hints of nitrocellulose.

245 Tonight I pulled out the last marinated skirt steak and it's roasting on low heat in the oven. Goya black beans in the crock pot with a sprinkle of onion powder and chili powder. Will heat up some canned rice - shut up, I thought I'd try it - and sauté onions and bell peppers.

254 Time to start baking pies. Way back a great baker (my Mom) showed me a trick making the crust. Using ice cold water, put a capful of vanilla extract in the water. You get piecrust that makes you just want to eat it plain. Pumpkin pie crust reacts particularly well here. Mom was a difficult teacher, she was an intuitive baker who could measure by eye with uncanny accuracy. She DID measure when making candy, though.

256 Mackerel sushi, aka saba, is my favorite sushi would highly recommend it to anyone whio is mackerel-curious..
Posted by: Joe Kidd at September 22, 2024 06:19 PM

-------------------

Agree, but only at a top-flight sushi place. Raw mackerel goes bad faster than just about any other fish. Which is why it is rarely seen on menus very far from places where it is caught.
