Food Thread: Was The Original Yorkshire Pudding Made From Yorkshiremen, Or Yorkshire Terrier?

******

Yes...another installment in the never-ending saga of Dildo's Yorkshire Pudding Journey^TM!

Yes, these were...fine. But not impossibly fluffy and tall and ethereal. But I got some advice from a real live Brit last night. We had him for dinner, and he tells me that his father swears by the minimalist technique of using a tiny bit of fat. No more than a bare bit to lubricate the bottom of the vessel.

That goes against every fiber of my being, which is that the more fat the better the food! We shall see if he is correct...so look for the next episode coming soon!

******

Recently in the comments, somebody pointed out that it is the water in vodka that makes the difference between the various brands. My apologies, but I do not remember which commenter it was, but I think it is a very interesting point. So I made some vodka with Everclear and my wife's favorite bottled water, and did a blind taste test to see whether she could identify it. It wasn't a perfect comparison, because I don't have a graduated cylinder for precise measuring, so I think the Everclear vodka was a bit more alcoholic.

One interesting result was that she did not choose what she thought was her favorite vodka as the winner! She also didn't choose the Everclear vodka made with her preferred water, so more experimentation is needed.

******

That was served to me on a recent flight. Supposedly it is "filet," although it did not specify what animal's filet, so I am tending toward rat, or maybe racoon.

I am sure that the exact temperature is specified in the instructions to the food techs (I won't call it a recipe, and I won't call them cooks), so that isn't some overdone mistake on the part of the food company. I firmly believe that it was intentional, which suggests the question: Why?

If you are going to kill the food, why not just make something really cheap instead?

******

That is my first attempt at a Mescal cocktail, and it was a success! Mescal, Amaro (I used Aperol), simple syrup, lemon juice, bitters, and an egg white. Shake it all up with ice and pour it in a cocktail glass.

Very good, although I will need to play with the proportions a bit, since I and the other taster thought it was a bit too sweet, masking the tartness of the lemon juice.

******

That is a simple pork Milanese, but with a small twist. I have some cornbread crumbs that I made because I am a cheap bastard and didn't want to throw away the stale cornbread. So I mixed it with regular breadcrumbs to see whether that worked. And it did, but not as well as breadcrumbs alone. I think the cornbread was too sweet. But it was fun to try, and it certainly browned nicely!

******
I'll be in and out, so behave yourselves, and in particular, don't talk about boring food!
******
The garlic is busily growing, with pretty impressive green shoots that are pushing a foot tall! I even fertilized them! And if they survive the deer and squirrel apocalypse, and actually grow into something edible, I will be in garlic heaven! In case it doesn't, send all of your excellent home-grown garlic to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com.

Rumor has it that the Bourbon Bubble is bursting. I have seen no evidence of decreasing prices, but maybe the bursting started somewhere else! 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.

The problem...or the solution...is to buy lots of bourbon, take tasting notes, and eventually arrive at your favorites! It should take forty or fifty years, but it is worth it!

4 I went for a walk, and the cute little ducklings that I first saw yesterday have already lightened from brownish to yellow. There appear to still be four of them, though one I could only see by his wake, since they were in some plants by the shore of the retaining pond.

I believe it was put in to keep the development's hydrologic profile (if I'm using that term correctly) the same as before it was built, so that neither more nor less water flows off the entire property as a whole when it rains, but it is very popular with various waterfowl. Most just rest briefly, and some stop to raise a family at that time of year, but in particular we have a semi-permanent population of fat and happy ducks that some residents like to feed in the adjoining park.

15 Leaving in about 30-40 minutes for Poke Bowls...but got credit for running a great concessions dessert table for my kid's 1st community play (run by our Church). Apparently, it's a new thought to tell folks to bring something they would want to eat and to not worry about bringing too much b/c it would become the post-show free cast snacks. And to keep a public list of what was coming b/c folks would naturally fill in the cracks.

Notable things - when priced as "pay want you want donation" allergy homemade stuff went like hotcakes as did Skittles and Ring Pops (sugar candy vs chocolate candy). Apples and chips/popcorn less so. Apparently, you want those items at dinner (where both went like hotcakes for the talent show the week before which was a dinner event), not dessert. Cookies were also slow. Seems kids want sugar over chocolate, or are used to it so pick it.

28 Recreated a nice snack from my childhood this past week. I had a bunch of cornflakes leftover from making a cornflake chicken casserole, and remembered that my mom used to make buttered cornflakes with garlic and salt.

1 oz cornflakes (about a cup)
1 tbsp butter
1 large clove garlic
salt

Crush the cornflakes if desired (mom didn’t, but when I first made it the leftover cornflakes were already crushed, and this worked). Layer cornflakes, butter, and garlic in microwavable cup or bowl. Microwave about 20-30 seconds until butter is fully melted.

Mix, salting to taste, and eat.

34 I am curious about this little fat thing and Yorkshire pudding. I make it for Christmas Eve just like my mama did, and it is not a low fat thing, hence the once a year indulgence. It is always devoured. That said, the youngest found the little British kiddo who does the short cooking snippets. He did a roast and served each portion in a Yorkshire pudding bowl. This has been requested, but my child said our roast needs to be 1. Far less cooked, grey roast should be a crime, and 2. Seasoned. He only used salt and pepper. I quoteth “where is the rosemary? The garlic? The entire herbed crust? Abomination!” Apparently there is a pan specifically for Yorkshire pudding and these bowls. I will source it and we will try it out.

There are all sorts of ways to make Yorkshire pudding, but they all have one thing in common: the pots need to be very hot and they need to be dense enough that they don’t cool down too much when adding the batter.

Smart of you to get that information out of him before having him for dinner. Now looking up pairing suggestions for Brit. Bass Ale, perhaps? Newcastle? Guess it depends on how you prepared your Brit.

In re the fat content suggestion, this may track with the pancake theory, which holds that you should toss the first batch of pancakes that come off a freshly greased griddle. Subsequent pancakes that come off that griddle are indeed fluffier, and take on a more uniform golden brown color ONLY if you do not regrease that griddle. May your quest for pudding be rewarded, if only so that you no longer have to have your guests for dinner...

Butter and brown sugar, with milk stirred in at high temperature. I skipped the final step of adding in powdered sugar since that is more a glazing than a frosting.

Strawberry shortcake is today's dessert here at Casa Sin Problemas.

105 I believe ‘vodka’ is literally translate as ‘little water’ and it’s made by distilling to nearly 100% alcohol and then adding water.

There do seem to be some differences between brands, as some seem to be ‘heavier’ and more oily than others. And the cheaper brands used less filtering and cheaper distilling techniques.

But I have long thought that ppl paying heavy money for ‘designer’ vodka are wasting their money.

Foreign airlines were better across the board.

110 Re: vodka--I just bought some Tito's and like it. Been trying to find something alcoholic I can still drink occasionally without my cheeks turning bright red. My beloved red wine is the worst, white not any better, bourbon a little better.

But one drink of Tito's with lime seems to be okay. They make a big deal about no additives.

It’s not new! I have been telling y’all about this, but no one listens. It’s like they think anything I say doesn’t equate to tasty food so they just skip over me or something! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Joking aside, the honey honey tastes just like warm milk and honey, only frozen. You have to try it.

123 United Kingdom and Ireland have "mothering Sunday" the fourth Sunday in Lent which is usually sometime in March. It started out in America as a sort of seminreligious holiday in the church to show respect and appreciation for the kind of sacred nature of good mothering, , and the woman who founded it in America was unhappy with its commercialization.

136 I think I'm the one who claimed that the "flavor" of vodka was mostly a function of the water, but that's not an original thought.
Gray Goose actually bragged in their advertising about their use of spring water from the Cognac region of France as to why their vodka tastes better.
My determination of that was personal testing. Your use of a third party is a much better experimental protocol.

146 Strawberry shortcake season is here.…
Posted by: Ben Had
Strawberry shortcake is today's dessert here…
Posted by: Joe Kidd

Started the day with a churro that daughter and hub brought from their restaurant dinner last night.

Followed by a slice of daughter's rhubarb pie — not only delicious (with whipped cream), but also had a crust that was good enough to have on its own.

And that was just the first pot of coffee.

Daughter & hub, and Goodson are here with their four dogs (our Daisy makes five). Planning to make burgers and fries for dinner in a bit.

And daughter brought fixin's for strawberry shortcake for dessert.

For Mother MiladyJo Day. Who also got flowers.

A special prayer for daughter, whose conceptions have all failed - mother's day sympathy. She and our excellent son-in-law still trying & hoping & praying for parenthood. MiladyJo and I can use the grandkids, since OtherSon and his wife and two kids have been estranged for years now.💔

Not sure what to wish for Goodson, comfortable with his "confirmed bachelor" t-shirt. He'd be a good dad, with the right woman, whom he hasn't found.

Hugs for all the mothers here.💝💝🌹🌹
