Food Thread: Alabama -- The Culinary Muse Of Chez Dildo (at least for this week)

Stroube deconstructed.jpg
Greg Stroube

I have seen this guy's work before, and it is truly impressive. But it's not really food. It's impressive photography in which food happens to be the subject. Or whatever they do in the studio to the food to make it look that interesting.

When I take photos of food it usually looks like somebody's garbage (just take a look below the fold!), but short of becoming a halfway decent photographer, there is nothing to be done about that. Besides, most serious cooks who put delicious food on the table for their families aren't worried about how it photographs; they are worried about getting a second helping before those animals across the table scarf it all up.

******

Food halls are weird places. To my jaded eyes they look like loads of fun from afar, but as I get closer I see the irritating products and packaging that is at home in those overpriced stores in airports, where people buy the tin of six chocolates for $93 simply because they are bored and have some extra local cash.

10 Great Food Halls of the World

I have been to a couple of the ones mentioned in the link (it's mostly Asia...boring!), and while it is amusing to meander through some of these places, I can't help but wonder as I look at the inflated prices and the pretty but suspiciously old food in the display cases that the real purpose is to fleece the rubes...tourists who are wowed by new foods and business visitors who are bored and lonely.

For a true taste of the food of a city or country, just take a walk in a real neighborhood and walk into any butcher shop or bakery or grocery store. That will tell you much more about the culinary traditions of wherever you may be than hours spent in a carefully curated (for maximum profit) selection of luxury foodstuffs in a high-end department store.

Dear Alabama, Your White Sauce isn't just for chicken
Alabama Chicken1.jpg

Alabama White Sauce! I found the recipe on the ThermoWorks site. They make a big deal out of checking the temperature with different style probes and blah, blah, blah. Low and slow until the probe placed in the thickest part of the breast reads 155 degrees. And that's it.

And it's grand. Some of you are familiar with this style, but I'll bet most people aren't, and that's a shame. It is really good eating, even if it isn't photogenic.

And since I had some leftover sauce, I tried it with sous vide pork rib chops, and damn! Fantastic!

What's that? Did I just dip some leftover sirloin into the last of the white sauce? Why yes...yes I did!

I'll bet it's great on French Toast too...instead of that disgusting maple syrup you savages use.

******

Okay, I admit it. I would happily eat one of these things, and I am sorely tempted to try it out next weekend. It's just a burger in the shape of a hot dog, but that opens up all sorts of interesting possibilities for toppings and texture.

Hot Dog Bills

Okay...it's official. I am going to make one of these things.

I stopped reading "Epicurious" because as is unfortunately quite common, they couldn't just shut the fuck up about politics and write articles about food and cooking. No, they had to shove their personal politics in my face, so I stopped reading, and I stopped linking!

But Misanthropic Humanitarian sent me this recipe and it does look like fun, so you can blame my lack of ethical consistency on him!

I have put the recipe in a PDF if you want to download and print it easily.
Chocolate-Peanut Butter Sheet Pan Ice Cream Sandwiches

Or you could just head over to Chef John, of the irritating but mesmerizing lilting/uptalking affectation, and make his version, which sounds like the ice cream sandwiches from my youth! Well...sort of. We ate two kinds; the classic, and the Carvel version which used soft-serve ice cream and a cookie that was guaranteed to make a huge mess and stick to your fingers and hair and the car seat and...

Why did I bookmark this? Did one of you maniacs mention it? I hope not, because Campari is vile. Negronis and their bastard children are vile. In fact, I think I might put Campari up there with maple syrup on French Toast as something that is simply beyond the pale.

gin campari sour

Awful. And their other cocktail recipes are suspect. A two-to-one Gibson? Sounds hideous.

Learning how to cook really isn't a big deal. You don't need to go to culinary school, you don't need expensive tools, and you definitely don't need expensive ingredients. But what you do need is some attention to detail and a rational approach to the endeavor. Pay attention to what you do and how it changes the finished product, and you will be miles ahead of most people.

But there are a few things that really jump out at me: things that it took me awhile to figure out, because I thought I was smarter than the cookbook and recipe writers. And while that was often the case, especially with the advent of the internet, there are lots of simple guidelines that will jump-start your cooking career.

In no particular order (and feel free to add your own in the comments):


  • Don't crowd your pan. Food needs room to cook and brown. Hell, I use my second biggest saute pan for two pieces of fish!
  • Salt is your friend. But salt in layers, a pinch at every step, and you will be a happy camper.
  • Taste (or at least smell) as you cook. Yeah, sometimes it's just not appetizing, especially after you have been cooking all day, surrounded by the tastes and smells of food. There is definitely food overload, but if you don't feel like it, at least give some to the dog...he'll tell the truth.
  • Don't be afraid of low temperature cooking. It is mighty tempting to crank the heat on everything, because that marvelous browning and the resultant flavors (it's called the Maillard Reaction) makes everything taste better...right? Wrong. Gentle cooking is often the best way to cook.
  • Trust your palate. You are cooking for you! If you want to put cheese on fish or maple syrup on (shudder) French Toast, then do it.

There are lots more simple guidelines that will help you in your cooking endeavors, but mostly it's just paying attention and not being afraid to try new things. That doesn't necessarily mean complicated, because some of the most glorious culinary creations are amazingly simple. Pasta Aglio E Olio, scrambled eggs, crusty sourdough bread, grilled steak, pulled pork, chocolate chip cookies, cheeseburgers; they are all so simple, but require a bit of attention and experience to make them great. But that is easily accessible to most people!

So have at it in the comments: what simple lessons have you learned in your 29 years of cooking?

******

Tender Broccoli Rabe that isn't bitter, beef short ribs that have meat on them (not the stupid little sliver of bone they sneak into the packages), Snap Peas (apparently they are no longer grown in quantity), spare bottles of Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Old Bourbon, an herb garden that actually produces herbs, well-marbled NY strip steaks and elk backstrap to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com.

And don't think that you are off the hook with maple syrup and French Toast: I'm watching you...all of you! And I am watching you perverts who shake Manhattans and keeping a list for the Burning Times.

12 Willowed and yet it fits right here!

I found out there's a difference in swordfish steak. If the meat's pale gray or white, it fed on mostly fish and is a shallower water fish. If the meat is pink or light red, it's a deep water fish and fed on mostly squid. Pink or red is better.
Posted by: That Guy What Always Says Yeah Buddy TM at June 13, 2021 03:01 PM (R5lpX)


When eating swordfish at a restaurant, be sure to order a piece with extra parasites.

The parasites are the delicious part.* Actual swordfish meat tastes like worn out baby shoes.



*Parasites are not the delicious part.

Posted by: naturalfake at June 13, 2021 03:05 PM (dWwl8)

13 Biggest lesson - don't give up on a dish midway through. As I tell my girls, the biggest difference between a pro and an amateur chef is the pro always knows how to save a dish. And 99% of dishes are savable (now, in baking, it's a lower savable percent, but even then, they can save a lot of things)...

16 On the theory that malt will help bread dough work the way it helps beer brew, I decided to try it.
Since I am cheap I thought about a DIY malt production; and I had half a bag of feed oats that I had gotten as a winter cover crop for my garden. I soaked it and sprouted it, and then toasted it to a light brown in the oven as it was cooling down from pizza.

There are a couple of ways to prep the malted oats, one is to boil it like you would wort for beer, and the other is to cold process it. So far the cold brewing is the best reaction, but the boiling seems to work and give a smoother initial dough. I am still working on the recipe to see what works best with home made malted oats.

You mean their "polar pizzas" - my kids just used my free Tmobile credits last week and inhaled the oreo version. We've used them for birthdays in the past - for this week, it was just "use up $20 in TMobile credits that I'm paying for anyway in my bill"...

Mise en place. I don't always do this, but things go more smoothly if you take the time to do this.

Just make or get a chocolate crust, fill it with coffee or jamoca almond fudge ice cream, freeze that, then top the thing with chocolate fudge frosting, almond bits, canned whipped cream and maraschino cherries.

37 CBD, if you want a fantastic glaze from the white sauce:

Cook the bird
Move the bird to a cooler
Slather on the white sauce
Close the cooler for 30 minutes or so.

An old guy who used to work at Big Bob Gibsons shared that secret with a friend of mine. You could probably re-brush repeatedly to make it even better.

41 I disagree that mise en place is that important for the home cook...subscribing more to a Rachel Ray philosophy, you just need to pull out the products and then "chop and drop" in the order they cook, so onions always 1st...you can control heat if you're too slow or too fast in your chops...

Mise en place means acres of tiny dirty dishes per meal...chop and drop means one cutting board...

Prior to my allergies, I've made a version - but my family preferred my chocolate pecan ice cream pie (which I also can't make b/c of the tree nuts) and my pumpkin pie ice cream pie, which I can still make, albeit having to "adapt" - the original was the best...ice cream pies in premade crusts are the easiest thing - and I'm a fan of having someone else make a graham or oreo crust, and then just adding to the bottom (which I used to do with dulce de leche for the pumpkin pie ice cream pie)...

They are a lifesaver...as is sugar cookie pre-made rolls.

A summery version of an ice cream sandwich is to make thick sugar cookies from those rolls and fill them with scoops of sorbet. The Talenti raspberry or strawberry hibiscus flavors are spectacular in that setting...

I'm more a chef, than a baker...so I always think of "where do I get a big payoff in flavor and where do I not" - so I also never make homemade pie dough b/c there's so many my allergy-free options, and the filling is the payoff...

71 Back when I was a kid, *mumbldy* years ago, when flank steak was cheap, Mom put some in teriyaki to marinate for the afternoon. Well, shit came up for the next few days and finally after 4 days, mom and dad put it on a hot barbie. She was worried it would be bad, but we did not waste anything. It was delish. So, that's how I do it now. Rarely since its too fkn expensive.

80 Another vote for mise en place, Lizzy and CBD style. Have everything out is the first principle. Then use common sense to decide if you need to prep individual ingredients. Group them if you can.

If you are envisioning TV cooking shows where each ingredient is prepped and sitting in its very own glass bowl, then yes, that seems wasteful and inefficient.

If you ever get the chance, order fried chicken at a gas station. The fried chicken livers are great at those places, too. And get them with the potato wedges.

If you order two potato wedges they'll give you two, same with the chicken and everything else. What you want to do is say "Can I have $2 worth of ________" and they'll fill the bag halfway up and write $2 on the outside in permanent marker.

So, a rustic cook then...nothing wrong with making it tasty for yourself!

My youngest today got cheddar goldfish and put mayo on his plate for a dip for his lunch "snack" (my kids get one "unhealthy" thing for lunch of their choice)...after seeing it, I asked "seriously, you're adding fat on fat" and he said it's the tastiest thing ever. And today, I was thankful my allergies prevented me from trying it.

It should mainly be used on poultry, although I know some people add it to pork sandwiches. Which is fine if that's what you like, eat what tastes good. But it's for poultry, even though people call it a BBQ sauce.

The trick is to make it and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least a day (three ideally) because it improves with age.

I guess I've been half-assing Alabama White Sauce for a while.
One of the things I discovered while in Japan is that they use mayo in lots of their cooking.
So, I started on occasion using Kewpie Mayo (the absolute best mayo in the entire world) as a binder for rubs and sauces when grilling chicken.
Works very nicely and adds extra flava!
Japanese Kewpie is the best mayo of all time. So, check it out if you've never used it.
Costco started carrying Kewpie but it's an American made version. Close in flavor but not quite as good.

HMart has a few versions of Japanese mayo - I've been a Hellman's snob for life (after my Oma used Miracle Whip - and that's just not mayo), so I haven't tried any of them...yet...

154 naturalfake, my brother uses some kind of fancy mayo to coat bluefish before broiling them (bluefish can be kind of "fishy", so I generally don't like it) and it's delicious. I'll have to ask him the next time the lazy bastard catches one.

155 I love shrimp salad like my mom made it in the 70's. She did shrimp, celery, elbow macaroni, Hellmann's mayo, black pepper. That's it. My ratio is 4 pounds of medium shrimp with one 16 oz. box of elbows. Nice and shrimpy. Tastes even better the next day. The only change I made is to add stuffed green olives cut in half and sprinkle it with Old Bay once it's on my plate.

I make this a lot in the summer and also on Good Friday.

Seriously, it's egg and vinegar - Japanese tends to use rice vinegar and egg yolks. American tends to use distilled vinegar and whole egg.

157 Speaking of Boil-In-Da-Bag, I tried "Kevin's Natural Foods" which has different chicken entrees and veggies entree/sides all paleo friendly. He uses that boil in da bag thing to lock in the flavor and all you have to do is heat and eat. Like Grandma's chicken feet, it's a treat you heat and eat.

I like Alabama White Sauce.

167 Bread and Beer brewing simlarities - I've delved into that a little bit.

Fermentation temperature over several days, yeast pitch rate, even the temperature the yeast has been pitched at can alter the flavor of the beer substantially. Usually warmer is not better when it comes to primary fermentation of the beer (legally speaking, the "wort" becomes "beer" as soon as the yeast is pitched)

I think to some degree the temperatures we use to prepare dough before we bake bread are a matter of convenience. Making a poolish and letting the yeast work for up to 24 hours on at least a portion of the dough improves the flavor noticeably, also the color, and the finished loaves also tend to not mold nearly as quickly. Aged dough is a lot better.

I haven't noticed colder temperatures working in my favor for bread making, unless stored in the refrigerator for the bulk rise. It's interesting how different crafts can help us in the way we think about things.

180 My entire adult life I was use to cooking for a family with Marine Company sized appetites. So, I had to really watch the pennies and use plenty of pasta, potatoes and rice to stretch the food budget.

My babies are now all grown and have flown the nest. A few years ago I started to buy much better grades of seasonings (read - more expensive).

Wow! I had been using crap for decades - what a difference. Same recipes - completely different flavors.

Then they don't taste very fishy at all. Esp if grilled over charcoal.

223 Guess we'll see soon enough, but it's the whole package in Israel that's worrying. Possibly very worrying, due to context.

Iran won the mega-lotto in November, with the US election. Regime was literally rescued by US voters, and/or the collapsed and corrupt election system. They are in the process of collecting their winnings (sanctions are going away, idiot children in power here will renew the disastrous JCPOA, Europe/Russia/China gold rush in Iran will be epic).

Iran and its proxies surely figure the Hamas/Gaza episode as a strategic win, again, especially in context (the US collapsing as a serious regional factor). The Israeli Arab problem shocked, and continues to shock, Israelis, and is a big deal.

In this whole context, plus of course the vicious enmity of the Biden idiots, Bibi departing is potentially a disaster.

238 "This isn't a Restaurant". (Things Moms used to say)

We didn't go to restaurants that often. It was notable, because we had to get dressed up. And take a bath most likely. This is the real reason McDonald's became so popular - relaxed grooming standards were applied to the troops. We didn't eat there very often either.

Seems to me between the honest sit down menu restaurants, McDs, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Shakeys, would be less than a dozen times a year? Maybe that was the agreement with dear old dad - at least once a month, I get a break, saith Mom.

If Momma ain't happy, ain't NOBODY gonna be happy.

think about things. Posted by: Common Tater at June 13, 2021 03:59 PM (Ejylv)


I was unclear, I soaked the malted oats in water in the fridge, it is supposed to be easier on the beta-amylase that cuts the carbs up for easier digestion by the yeast. I suppose if I got some lager yeast it might do ok cold, but the bread might take a week to raise!!.
The dough has to be kept warm to raise or the yeast won't grow.

I got the advice recently to keep the dough around 80F or else it won't bake right, one issue is big gas bubbles in the middle and the other is that my loaves used to come out raw in the middle after 40 minutes baking.

316 310 I have a confession to make. I cooked a prime rib roast using sous vide this past week at fishing camp. 8 lb roast. Cooked it for 8 hours at 132F then roasted it on a very hot Weber charcoal grill for 10 minutes to form the crust. It was magnificent! And my heterosexuality has been unaffected!
I hereby retract my funnin' of CBD regarding sous vide. He is completely right about this.
But completely wrong about maple syrup on French toast.

317 I make my own mayo. It is easy and I can leave out the sugar and add
what I want to it, garlic, chiles, whatever I like. The recipe goes
about a cup and a half.
However, don't add black pepper when you are trying to emulsify it, it prevents it for some reason.

Used to like V8 juice too. Do they still sell it in the cans, or plastic only? I always used to buy Hershey's syrup in a can, that just looks cool.

350 I use Johnsonville cheddar brats as "hot dogs". Why not? They also stand in for Andouille with red beans and rice at about half the cost. Fry 'em up and use lots of cayenne and cajun stuff and tastes OK to me.

I try making "authentic" recipes a lot of times, and about half the time go back to what I like, or "Well just gimme sumpin' I'm used to"

Now dried red beans take a long time to soak and cook and simmer I'm not averse to using canned beans there.

Friend made me chili that way a month ago - was annoyed I guessed his "secret" ingredient. It's good, but it does read VERY sweet in a chili, so if you don't like any sweetness to a chili (aka, you hate Cincinnati style, as one example), don't do it...

435 Late to the thread but wanted to comment on the food halls. Faneuil Hall Market was one of my favorite places. The most difficult thing was deciding what kind of food to eat as there were so many different wonderful choices. The other place was the food hall in Barcelona.

457 I was at Montgomery Mall a couple of days ago and the food court there is humongous. They had all kinds of food. It did not strike me as typical although I'm a New Englander. I've never been in such a huge mall. The funny part was that there is a sign on the door that masks are recommended, not required and I was one of the only persons in the mall not wearing a mask.
The phrase people keep using is that there are mixed messages from the CDC so they are going to stick with the mask.

Well, the whole thing is lined in metal, that is why I picked it up. The insulation is very good, and my trial run of "just stick the heater element in there for an afternoon and see what happens" did give a nice temperature and no issues. Once it is vented and I bleach it a final time it should go fine
I did cut out the compressor and ρρρρρρ ρρρ disposed of the refrigerant in the DEQ required method, but I let caution guide me when considered seeing if the iso-butane is as flammable as they say . . .

Don't know that there is anything to contradict using it, but I've never heard of using UV for any short or long-term food storage/prep.
