Food Thread: The Great Garnish War: Summer Campaign

Looks great, doesn't it? I love big thick sloppy burgers, as long as the bun doesn't dominate. The more the merrier! Fried egg? Hell Yes! Bacon and avocado and cheese and some gloppy sauce and lettuce (not too much) and even a thin slice of tomato. All of that, piled onto a nice juicy patty makes my heart sing.

Nope Nope Nope. Too much stuff. The proper clothing for a hot dog is a bun (not too big), some mustard, a bit of chopped onion, and maybe, just maybe, if I am feeling particularly peckish, a thin scattering of sauerkraut. No disgusting pile of sauerkraut that soaks the bun and overwhelms the flavor of the dog. And don't even think about that neon-green relish that is made in a factory in China using slave labor and coal tailings.

And if the hot dog is a really fine specimen, then just the bun and some good mustard. And I am not talking about fancy sausages, I am referring to that glorious creation of American Exceptionalism: the plain skinless frank. Good ones can be found, and they are worth the search. My local place I have raved about (The Swiss Pork Store) has spectacular hot dogs that I can cheerfully eat until I am sick.

Oh...a good corn dog is allowed.

You serious bakers are weird!
Winter to summer yeast baking: making a successful transition
This is why I will never be a great baker. If the dough is too dry, I add a bit of liquid. If it is too wet, i add sprinkle of flour. Trying to figure out the proportions beforehand, based on the temperature and humidity is just too much thinking.

[Hat Tip: redc1c4]

Yeah...I am strangely drawn to those silly tropical drinks, usually made with rum, that have fruit wedges and straws and umbrellas and are almost always too sweet. This one doesn't look too sweet, and I am definitely going to give it a try, sans the orgeat syrup, which I will replace with almond liquor. The Scorpion

Oh man...I love beef jerky. There are thousands of recipes out there, and many of them are just...eh...but there a some that are fantastic. I haven't tried this one yet, but it looks like it's pretty standard. What sets it apart is the technique. Of course since it's Alton Brown, it's fussy and weird, but it does make sense. Alton Brown's Beef Jerky Recipe. I think it's worth a try. Just send me some and I can be your taster...

******
Did I post this before? I don't remember, and my cursory search didn't turn it up. Besides, it's a really good recipe, and deserves frequent posting.

Don't worry so much about the particular seafood you use. It's mostly texture and volume that is important. For instance, halibut is a fortune, so you can swap it for about the same amount of cod, and it will be different, but just as good.

As for that lobster stock? Well, it does help, but you can replace it with shrimp stock (easy and cheap to make), or in a pinch, bottled fish stock.

I think the timing of this recipe is what separates it from some that I have tried. It acknowledges that you can't just toss everything in and expect it to taste good. Yes...it's more work, but I think that in this case it is absolutely worth it.

Cioppino

9 prawns, peeled with tails left on
12 clams
12 mussels
8 ounces fresh halibut cut into cubes.
6 sea scallops cut in half
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 tomato, diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
¼ teaspoon chili flakes
1 tablespoon chopped basil leaves
1/2 tablespoon chopped oregano leaves
1 tablespoon chopped rosemary leaves
1 tablespoon chopped parsley leaves
3 cups lobster stock
1 cup dry white wine
2 cups chopped tomato (canned)
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add the onion and red pepper and sauté for five minutes until soft.

Add the garlic, chili flakes, basil, oregano, rosemary, and parsley and cook for 3 minutes.

Add the clams and cook for another few minutes.

Add the diced tomato and cook for another minute.

Deglaze with the wine, then add lobster stock.

Add the canned tomato and bring to a simmer.

Cook until the clams and mussels just begin to open…about three minutes.

Add the prawns and stir, cook for one minute.

Add the fish and the scallops and cook for three minutes.

Taste the broth and add salt and black pepper as needed.

Ladle into warmed bowls and serve with toasted baguettes.

31 It wasn't a craving, but one of the few things that set on my stomach in the first trimester (so, like, January / February) was a hot dog. I'd split it and fry it, fry / toast the bun in butter, and then just use a million gallons of mustard and sometimes onions. Didn't even have to be fancy -- I was using Bar S dogs and Wonder Bread buns. But I could eat it and feel not sick for a good 5 minutes.

40 Not crazy about tropical fruit drinks most of the time, but we do like a good Mai Tai. (Tahiti Nui in Hanalei on Kauai is our gold standard.) Did some research and a lot of experimentation a couple of years ago and decided on a version that does contain orgeat syrup. Personally, I don't think almond liqueur would work as well, but we may try it.

To tie this comment to the last thread about everyone's delight at Hillary's loss, we were drinking mai tais the night of the 2016 election. As the race got tighter and tighter, so did we. By the time the race was called for Trump in the wee hours, we were good and blasted.

Most worthwhile hangover ever.

If the main ingredient for making the hot dog chili is "chili brick", it will probably be okay.

Long, long ago we used to have a Dairy Queen nearby that had interestingly tasty chili for the hot dogs. It was neat because you could taste all the flavors they made it with, and it was obviously extremely simple and things they'd have on hand in bulk in the kitchen. Ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire, and probably a chili brick.

It's probably the same chili nationwide, but I tend to avoid chili dogs when I'm on the road.

115 Speaking of hot dogs, we bought a little device that steams them for about $20 a year or so ago and we use it constantly. There's a nonstick bowl for water and a clear container fits on top of it. It can hold a half dozen or so, I guess. It has a couple of bun warmers, too, but they're just upright rods that toast the bread and they're rarely used.

I think I would prefer the roller, but this takes up very little room and cooks them nicely. It's as close as I've gotten to those little hot dog carts you see outside of Lowes and other stores down here in the South.

123 My wife insists on buying the 90+% lean meat for burgers - since Im making them I counter by mixing in bacon grease. With the expensive ground beef you need to do the bread and milk thing too. So you mush the meat, bread, grease, garlic salt, and pepper (or mortons steak seasoning) together and grill. These work without cheese or other toppings - just some brown mustard on toasted big English muffins.

156 When it comes to garnish on a burger there are times when simple suits me better than fancy. That's a burger (rare), a thick (at least a 1/4 inch) slice of good Vidalia onion, the bun and a smear of yellow mustard. Other times I'll load it up.

For regular hot dogs, I'm fussy. Most brands give me a bit of heart burn. Hebrew National sit well and are the tastiest. (Fortunately, the Single A Nats minor league stadium nearby uses them.) Mild mustard and well drained sauerkraut completes it. I hate a soggy hot dog bun. If the kraut isn't available, substitute good pickle relish.

158 I'm starting to eat a pork belly I just finished
smoking. I took it off because the fat burst into flame. Fortunately I
was there and able to take it off immediately.

It's awesome. The crisped skin is truly like candy.

But I think this experience answers a question. Should I put it on the grill fat side down or up?

And it also tells me to never consider smoking Michael Moore because all his sides are fat.

I'm also enjoying a Moscow Mule on a lovely afternoon.

It won some kind of international prize and is delish.

It another no-fail cocktail.

The Saturn

2 oz gin
1/2 oz Passion Fruit Syrup
1/2 oz Orgeat
1/2 oz Falernum
3/4 fresh lemon juice

Blend with 3/4 c of ice until smooth. Pour into rocks glass.

I also like this served straight up.

Don't worry/whine about the extra ingredients. If you make tropical and/or tiki drinks on a regular basis you'll use up the passion fruit syrup, orgeat, and falernum el quicko deluxe.

Liber and Co make good PF syrup and Orgeat. Available from Amazon and most liquor stores.

210 One more easy yet oddball tropical drink (though I think I've posted this last summer):

The Lani-Honi

1 1/2 o. Benedictine
1 oz light rum*
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice

Combine all ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker. Shake and strain into a goblet or wine glass filled with ice. Serve.

This is one which I prefer straight up. YMMV.

Very nice cocktail. One of my personal faves.

*For a drink this simple, I think you need to use a maximum flavor white rum like "Banks 5 Island Rum" or "Bayou Silver Rum"

Banks is so full of flavor and delicious that it makes even a simple daiquiri taste like a complex tropical drink. i highly recommend it. If you can find it.

Don't know why you couldn't. I mean, I wouldn't use the outer most leaves, but slice them, steam them and salt them. Ummm, good eatin'. They say that you should just give them time for the head to form, but if they haven't formed by now, I don't know that they will. Cabbage is more of a cool weather plant.

328 Great food pictures today! For some reason those things always seem to taste better in the summer time. Your analysis of accompaniments for hotdogs is perfect... Depending upon how many beers down the line we are. At 2AM, any hotdog starts looking pretty good.

329 Cocktails are an artifact of Prohibition when booze was awful and needed to be disguised.

That's a bit like arguing that spices were used to disguise the taste of rotten meat (they weren't). In fact, only the rich used spices, because only they could afford them. Likewise, properly used, a cocktail can enhance the quality of good liquor, which is all I drink now, because I can afford it.

Steaks or the whole tri-tip?

Above advice is good for steaks. Don't overcook, take them to 130 degrees F or so. Depending on thickness, you may want to slice the steaks into fajita-thin strips.

Best advice, though, is buy a grill.

I just had a couple hot dogs with KETCHUP, yellow mustard, and saurkraut on them. This is also an acceptable variation.

--------------------------------------------
Been there. Once.

It's one of those places specializing in organic, locally sourced, "farm fresh" food.
And "free range eggs."
Yes, that's what the menu said. Something something topped with "free range egg and capers."

We were puzzled by this. Were both the eggs and the capers free range, or only the eggs? The caper being planty-stuff, we figured only the eggs.

But how does an egg range about? Does it roll?
Has to be.
So free-range eggs must be ones that are not cramped and restrained by those cruel styrofoam prisons.

In any case, the food is fine but way too expensive for what you get. Normal people from the area, many of whom have their own gardens, aren't going to pay $12 for a side salad of "farm fresh" greens.

They are catering to university faculty, local professionals, and rich tourists. This scandal will not hurt them.

For range duty day last week I made an unconventional sandwich: pumpernickel, thin-sliced Santa Maria style tri-tip, with just mayonnaise on the bread, and topped with some sweet pickle relish. Oh my. Spectacular.

I do a simple rub of paprika, blk pepper, garlic and onion powder, some cayenne, cumin, and salt on the tri-tip. True Santa Maria style calls for rosemary, but my rosemary bush died and I have yet to replace it.

Actually, a real man buys his own booze, drinks it however he wants. And when some busybody tries to tell them how to drink the liquor that they DIDN'T buy for him, the real man tells them to fuck off and mind their own gorram business.

409 red you can certainly duplicate that meal elsewhere ..... but I have my own reasons for not wanting, or planning, to leave. And can't wait for our next short trip up to the Santa Maria area.

Think I told this story, probably on the ONT, in a dialogue with CaliGirl, but last time we were up there we were going to stop for a night at a friend's in Ventura, and I wanted to bring central coast tri-tip for dinner.

Uh uh. Not really available. Last place that sold local tri-tip, locally, appeared to have gone under a few years ago (probably drought related). I was fairly thorough in my investigation, and was lucky to have been friendly with a few restaurant folks in Los Alamos, who were happy to explain that they didn't know of any way to get it.

Even stopped by the Hitching Post II (the one used in the movie), and talked to the chef out back. Figure he'd know. He said sometimes a grocery store in Los Olivos had some, but rarely.

Did score some amazing produce at a roadside stand CaliGirl recommended.

They say the average person eats six or seven pounds of spiders a year. Obviously, people who live near spiderportals or in active spider conduits will eat more. I like to knock all of mine out by the second week of January so I don't have it hanging over my head for the rest of the year.

There's 7 species in the southwest, iirc.

All in all like a bad red wasp sting.

I was with one man once who got hit in the hand at night, when picking up a piece of wood. His entire arm puffed up and turned black and blue up to the shoulder. The worst part was that we were all in a small group that had to walk 15 miles just to get back to the car.
