Food Thread: 2...3...5...7...11...13...17...19...23... Rib
And here we have a slightly different problem...The Prime Rib Problem How to cook snake ribs. I know this has nothing to do with cooking, but it was so odd and amusing I couldn't resist.
[Hat Tip: artisanal'ette]
Yeah...some of these are disgusting, but some are strangely appealing. I have eaten four of them, and I'll bet my parents sneaked a few more into me while I wasn't being attentive to the frequently disgusting food they served us.

I made these and used them for burger buns, and they were a qualified success, but only if you like the idea of pretzel rolls in the first place, But I left out the celery seeds. Why they are in recipe is a real puzzle. Yuck. What an unpleasant combination. Next time I will use the King Arthur Flour recipe and see which is better....
• 2 3/4 cups bread flour
• 1 envelope quick-rising yeast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon celery seeds
• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (about) hot water (125°F to 130°F)
• Cornmeal
• 8 cups water
• 1/4 cup baking soda
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 egg white, beaten to blend (glaze)
• Coarse salt Preparation:
Combine bread flour, 1 envelope yeast, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar and celery seeds in food processor and blend. With machine running, gradually pour hot water through feed tube, adding enough water to form smooth elastic dough. Process 1 minute to knead. Grease medium bowl. Add dough to bowl, turning to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, then towel; let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 35 minutes. Flour baking sheet. Punch dough down and knead on lightly floured surface until smooth. Divide into 8 pieces. Form each dough piece into ball. Place dough balls on prepared sheet, flattening each slightly. Using serrated knife, cut X in top center of each dough ball. Cover with towel and let dough balls rise until almost doubled in volume, about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease another baking sheet and sprinkle with cornmeal. Bring 8 cups water to boil in large saucepan. Add baking soda and 2 tablespoons sugar (water will foam up). Add 4 rolls and cook 30 seconds per side. Using slotted spoon, transfer rolls to prepared sheet, arranging X side up. Repeat with remaining rolls. Brush rolls with egg white glaze. Sprinkle rolls generously with coarse salt. Bake rolls until brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer to racks and cool 10 minutes.
(Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm in 375°F oven 10 minutes.)

That would be Greenland shark. The flesh is toxic, so it needs to ferment for a few weeks to make it palatable (a highly questionable term even then).

I would like to learn to make my own sourdough pizza crust, but it may be a bit ambitious.

It says to add FIVE POUNDS of seafood to it: clams, mussels, any white flaky fish, shrimp, squid.
I'm good with the shrimp, clams and flaky, but wondering what to replace the squid and mussels with. I'm just not that big on squid that's not deep-fried, and mussels inflames my gout.
Maybe crab and lobster?
(And yes, I have to wait 'til payday before I can afford all this expensive seafood.)

I'm from Southern Indiana. I have had deep fried everything. Or access to it at least.
I am not a beer fan, not drinking it, not onion rings battered in it. So, I don't think I will be doing the deep fried beer.
Deep fried pizza? If I can find it, for sure. Although, I have already had it, sort of. But, never in Scotland!

Carr's Lemon Ginger Creams. One of the best store-bought cookies you can get. Here in SoCal they're pretty much in every supermarket (often in the "gourmet" or "imported" section, where they can "justify" the relatively high price, natch).

Pendennis Club Cocktail
1 part simple syrup
2 parts fresh lime juice
3 parts apricot liqueur
6 parts gin
Peychaud Bitters to taste
Shake together with ice, fine-strain into a chilled coupe.
If you can find it, Roku Japanese Gin works spectacularly well with this. The yuzu and cherry blossom botanicals really spark up the apricot liqueur and Peychaud bitters part of the dealio.

Making a pizza, but wanted to post this for those going whacko over the total eclipse tomorrow.
Moonpies, a tribute to the total eclipse of our hearts
http://moonpie.com/
A Star is Born.
Chattanooga Bakery produced over 100 items but they knew they had something special with MoonPie. At 5˘ each, MoonPies were an affordable, filling snack that just flew off the shelves. By 1929, the factory ladies you see here were boxing up hundreds every day.
From Chattanooga to the World.
When our brave servicemen went to war, MoonPie went with them. Nothing said home more than a care-package filled with their favorite hometown snack. From the frontlines to the home front, MoonPie was the comfort food the nation turned to during the heroic days of World War II.

Yes....I think it's a matter for me of finding/buying the starter. I don't want to try to do the starter myself.
as far as fried pizza, has anyone had Montanarra Pizza? It's basically fried pizza dough, with all the toppings on top served at room temperature, but it is....yum.
I have also had a calzone deep fried, which I think is probably closer to the Scottish fried pizza, at least from the pics I've seen.

The whisk!
I use my whisk all the time....Actually, we have a whole whisk container....maybe 10 of them in varying shapes, sizes, and materials.
Although sometimes, I just use a fork.

Nice...that's about where my best friend had her first apartment.
I went to college close to there, so I spent a lot of time in Greenwood, but it has changed a lot since I have been a student.
Tip 1) Go to Gray Bros Cafeteria in Mooresville, probably a 20 minute drive from where you'll be.
2) Your eyes ARE bigger than your stomach. Trust me. Save room for dessert!

Population growth can have its downsides. In 8th grade metal shop, one of the projects was an abalone knife (just a foot-long aluminum bar, flat, with an angled business end that was also tapered down for prying, some finger grooves ground towards the top, and a hole for a lanyard,
Metal shop project, city-wide. Now - people have rarely seen abalone (and only farmed), and can't imagine back then you'd just go get your own.
I have an untested hypothesis that out at San Clemente Island, long a govt. reservation (started as a naval artillery range, now lots of weapons testing and SEAL training), the abundant abalone, safe from the coastal hordes, and of course verboten to harvest, are yet - sometimes - in danger from people authorized to be there. Just a hunch.

I never seem to catch anything on the few occasions I've got lately- -except eels and perhaps the charm would have form off by now in cleaning fish anyway.

Flag on the play. Tomato is a fruit.
First of all, I said "vegetable-like" as a pre-emptive defense against this sort of sophistry.
Secondly, tomatoes are vegetables because they are. I don't want to hear anything about seeds on the inside and grows on a bush or whatever the excuse of the tomato is a fruit crowd is using today.
Do you put tomato in your breakfast cereal? Do you put blueberries in your pasta sauce?

Nah.
But, I bartended for years while getting my education, etc.
And I enjoy mixed drinks.
Really, most classic cocktails fall to a type and you'd be surprised how many different and delicious drinks you can make with relatively modest set up.
I rarely go crazy with the buying but here a for instance when I went out of my way over the last week.
One of my grandfather was Mexican and he came from San Luis Potosi.
And I recently learned of two mezcals in the area from SLP. So, of course, I was curious and had to get them.
They are both made from the Agave salmiana.
One is....no kidding-
Wild Shots (a celebrity mezcal by Toby Keith)
and
Reyes y Cobardes Mezcal (Salmiana from SLP, pink label))
They have similar flavors but are substantially different:
WS is upfront smoky with a flavor of roasted sweet peppers and way in the back is a citrusy kind of thing going on.
RyC is smooth as a baby's bottom, the citrusy thing is upfront, nice agave flavor, a wisp of smoke, and the sweet peppers at the back.
If you want to try a great drinking mezcal, RyC is your boy.
But, see, I normally wouldn't go out a buy something like that.
But, now I have to look up some cocktails...if that makes sense,
because the delightful and sophisticated Mrs naturalfake ain't slugging back shots.
Even if there is a worm in the WS bottle.

So they trot down to the butcher, he suspends the duck from the clothesline and slits it's throat. They are horrified. Brought the jar of blood home and grandma made the soup. Of course they refused to eat it.

I've only found TWO items the instant pot cooks well: hardboiled eggs and chicken with rice.
I might dig out my crock pot to make stew/pot roast next time. That tool at least I understand. :-/

Hi Ben, Thanks for mentioning that. My limited experience with chutney is not good. They are always too spicy hot, which I can't tolerate. But I found a recipe for fig chutney that doesn't call for heat, so if I can get the fresh figs I'll give it a try. I bet it would also go great with my home made Greek yogurt.

I don't use pressure cookers -- dutch oven for me. But I do use alcohol. Alcohol is your friend when cooking cheaper/less expensive cuts of beef.
I use mainly red wine for beef, white wine for chicken. At least 2 to 6 ounces of wine. It simply makes your protein give up the ghost and become extremely palatable in an hours time.

Maggot cheese sounds pretty revolting. The cheese actually contains live maggots that people leave in the cheese as they eat it. They have to shield themselves as they eat the cheese because when disturbed the maggots can jump up to 6 inches. I think that wins the list.

I'm a math guy. I look at the 4.49 / pound cut of beef and calculate in my head how much wine will make that tough cut of beef palatable. It's usually another .25 or so per pound of wine.
So add the 4.49 and .25 per pound together and you're still just about half the cost of tenderloin.
The method is not madness. It's tasty and tender.

since then. I lived out near Percy Priest lake, west of Nashville.

I was the guy in high school who would drive to NJ when underage even there (it was 18 then) to make the booze run.
A girl I fancied asked me to get her some Mad Dog. Being as I didn't know what that was, I asked for it at the counter.
The guy still sold it to me. It was a more innocent time.

I use mine every single day, 364 times a year, for about 30-45 seconds. So that's about 4 hours per year.
The stick part breaks because it's plastic, or the blades break after a while. Can't buy just that part, so I have to buy the whole thing. I have 3 of them now.

They are cooking at too low a heat, and likely closing up the grill while they do it.
My Dad does this.
You have to start HOT. As soon as the meat hits that grill, the bottom drops out (re. temp).
Then, you have to go to another Hot Spot when flipping. Can't overload the grill if you want both sides seared proper like.

Actually about to a put a small-ish tri-tip on the grill. Packaged affair from Trader Joe's, with a marinade, because last 4 days have been the head cold from outer space, incredibly powerful. Have tried their Santa Maria-style version before, pretty good.
Sear on both sides, then undetermined time at medium heat level, indirect.
Oh, and the CZ-83 I bought and put away uses "9mm Browning Court" on the roll-mark (one way, I deduce, to distinguish that special last run of that model from all previous production). So there are several ways to say .380, why, I don't know.
