Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Food Thread: Pâté, Sweet Tea, And Cheese Puffs? Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad!![]() What am I drinking? Burgundies. The entire region let me down a few weeks ago, as a friend who for some perverse and disturbing reason likes Bordeauxs, competed with me and won. The Burgundy I chose was crap. Flat, boring, thin. Thoroughly insipid. His Bordeauxs were simply better. And that really pissed me off, because he won't let me forget it. So I figured I had to see if they can redeem themselves, and what better way to do that than take a very fast and comfortable train (thank you French taxpayers!) to the heart of the region. And hopefully I will find good examples of their wines, which are notoriously difficult to make, and painfully expensive sometimes. I won't be drinking DRC wines (four figures is common), but rather the off-the-beaten-path wines that should be wonderful. I hope. What am I eating? Oeuf en meurette is definitely on the menu. Eggs poached in red wine, with thick bacon, mushrooms and shallots. Yeah, sounds awful. And Gougères, which are nothing more than cheese puffs. But that isn't a bad thing! ![]() ![]() Yes, it is a NY Times link, and for that I apologize. But in my defense it is a solid recipe by one of their most famous food writers. Craig Claiborne knew his stuff, and this is an excellent recipe for Pâté de Campagne. Too many recipes add all sorts of extraneous spices, but the original dish is simple, and Claiborne keeps it that way! I visited some cooking shops with friends a few weeks ago, and they sold special molds for these sorts of pâtés. Tempting, but ultimately silly for the home cook. Unless you want to make the pâté wrapped in a flaky crust, but that adds complexity to a simple dish. It is mighty tasty though! See? I am convincing myself to buy one of those baking molds! ![]() I thought France would have good garlic, but the Frogs seem to have the same problem we have in the U.S. At least they don't import filthy garlic from China. Pork is great here, but no game, so send all of your extra antelope to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Funny there are eggs in the photo b/c that's what dinner here is tonight. I have convinced the spouse lunch on weekends is a good idea, and Mother's Hubbard's wallet is still light this month, so thanks to Trump getting eggs to $2.70/dozen and Aldi's putting pie crusts on sale for 50% off, I'm making my 1st (dairy free) Western omelette quiche (onions, bacon, peppers, mushrooms, nutritional yeast) in awhile. I'm making 2, even with only 4 to feed tonight b/c I need lunches for the week, and I love my quiches. It's the reverse of the norm - it's light, airy, and light on the stomach. Replacing cream with egg white and rice milk (and going heavier on eggs) makes this more egg pie/frittata than quiche, but you still get pie crust, and who doesn't love pie crust as the carb dinner.
Got a deal on snap peas, so doing a saute of those with some grapes and strawberries as the sides. I don't need a heavy meat meal b/c the spouse already had leftover brats for lunch, so the "must have lots of meat" push is in neutral...at least til tomorrow. It should make future weekend dinner meals for me less meat forward for the summer... Posted by: Nova Local at July 13, 2025 04:14 PM (tOcjL) 9

Was bummed on my Aldi shop...something I bought for years decided to change its recipe and add whey (thus adding milk where before there was none), so I'm back to checking all labels at Aldi's again for the next few shops.

Forty . . . dollars for a bottle of bourbon???? In my drinking days of the '70s and '80s, I considered a ten-dollar bottle of *anything* alcoholic to be a big splurge for celebration purposes. But of course I was not sipping or experiencing or creating a cellar, but getting a buzz (or more) on.

That is called Oyakodon, and it's a very simple dish that lots of different food cultures make, or at least their version of it. Some sort of flavored protein (in this case it is chicken simmered in dashi), eggs, onions or some other aromatic, and starch.
The Japanese have many versions of this meat-eggs-rice dish. katsudon is made with a fried pork cutlet: katsu (pork cutlet) don (bowl) gyuudon is made with beef: gyuu (beef) don (bowl) oyakodon is made with chicken: oya (parent) ko (child) don (bowl). "Parent-and-child bowl" for chicken and eggs. Ha! Kind of macabre, though. Posted by: mikeski at July 13, 2025 04:32 PM (DgGvY) 28
I’m sure you already know this, but burgundy and Bordeaux are totally different grapes.
Red burgundy is Pinot noir, so it’s naturally lighter. Bordeaux is usually a blend with Cabernet savignon. It’s a heavier, fuller-bodied wine. I like Bordeaux. All French wines are susceptible to weather, so read up on the better vintage years and only buy them. Posted by: Elric the Bladiest Blade at July 13, 2025 04:33 PM (NgBDl) 29

I’m sure everyone is waiting to learn how The Blade’s exotic meats went over for July 4th. It was mixed.
Alpaca: Excellent. All 3 pounds was eaten. This is a delicious, lean red meat. I can’t say we nailed the cooking technique or temps (we didn’t) so I’m sure next time will be even better. Bobcat: Tasty, tied with beaver for tops on the sausage. 2 pounds eaten. Beaver: Also tasty. 2 pounds eaten. Coyote: Meh at best. Had an ‘off’ flavor that might have been the result of too much spice. Only half eaten. Python: Same as coyote. Only half eaten.

Trying to decide what I'll have for dinner. Not a lot of choices in the house that are not frozen or canned, I'm afraid. It's getting tougher to get salmon at a reasonable price. Walmart used to have its one-pound bag of frozen salmon filets for under $5 before the Sniffle Scare. The last time I saw one, it was more like $7. I'd pay that (with gritted teeth) -- but I can't find it in the stores around me.

15 Forty . . . dollars for a bottle of bourbon???? In my drinking days of the '70s and '80s, I considered a ten-dollar bottle of *anything* alcoholic to be a big splurge for celebration purposes. But of course I was not sipping or experiencing or creating a cellar, but getting a buzz (or more) on.
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at July 13, 2025 04:21 PM (omVj0) A few years ago, I found an excellent 7 yr old bourbon for 17.99, called Bird Dog. I was skeptical. They had a 4 yr old for 13.99, but given that Wild Turkey 101 was north of 21 bucks, I figured the 7 would be a fairer comparison. Well, lemme tell ye, I started buying it in pairs after that first bottle. Sure enough, after a little more than a year, it disappeared from the shelf. The store couldn't find it anymore. Fast forward to earlier this year, and it's back, sporting a fancy price of 25.99. Apparently, I wasn't the only one asking about it. I should pick up a bottle for old time's sake, but at that price, much of the thrill is gone.. Posted by: Joe Kidd at July 13, 2025 05:34 PM (bA75n) 97
I could never get into frozen salmon...I'm just very snobby about my salmon still having a texture that just doesn't stab up to freezing. I'm not as picky for white fish, so I've bought frozen cod and tilapia...pretty sure you can find both in your price range in Aldi (or maybe 1 b/c they do seem to rotate frozen a lot)... Posted by: Nova Local at July 13, 2025 *** Yes, I see both at various times, both at Aldi and WM. We do have a fresh seafood market about five or six miles away on my side of the river; I keep meaning to go back and see what they have.

Speaking of Aldi, we have a new one that opened late in June, a much easier drive than the previous two. And 7/30 is the announced opening date for the one within walking distance of my house. Both of these used to be Winn-Dixies, aka "Highway robbery with cashiers," so the change will be welcome.

I love chilaquiles, but not every Mexican restaurant serves it. I only know of one chain in the area that does. It's bit heavy because they use lots of tortilla chips as the starch. Not something to be enjoyed even semi-regularly, more like once a year, at least for me.
And then there's the hash brown bowl or grits bowl from Waffle House. Onions aren't added by default but you can ask for them and they would qualify them as this type of dish I guess. Posted by: Farquad at July 13, 2025 05:43 PM (yqgaV) 107

9 Sweet tea should not be too sweet. On a hot summer day in the South it's just the thing. I understand that it has electrolytes.
Posted by: fd at July 13, 2025 04 It has minimal electrolytes. Black tea does have antioxidants, so we might could stretch it there. Sweet tea shouldn’t taste like syrup, the sugar does balance the bitterness of strong black tea and it would provide an energy boost, because sugar does that. Adding sugar to unsweetened tea is not the same thing. You have to add it while the water boils. It just is the way it’s done. Posted by: Piper at July 13, 2025 06:02 PM (p4NUW) 122

Perfessor Skwerl, I am not familiar with "cockintryce", but I assume it's this:
"A cockatrice is a mythical creature, typically depicted as a two-legged dragon, wyvern, or serpent with the head of a rooster. It is known for its petrifying gaze or venomous bite, which can turn living creatures to stone." You'd have to sneak up on that jasper and dispatch him from behind.

We were visiting family up in supper-club central, which is Sawyer county Wisconsin, way way up in the north woods.
We left this morning to return to far NW IL, and took the cheese route south, a whole lot of linked county roads (H, G, M, F, oops, bridge out, take Y) and our first stop was Thorp, WI, population 1710, home of Marieke Cheese Family Farm. I dropped close to $100 on their 1000-day aged gouda. The next stop way down from there, in the town of Mauston (say "mouse," cheesehead) to visit Carr Valley Cheese Co., where we got six or eight items, among which is their cave-aged cheddar. The Canada wildfires have ruined the air the past couple days, with indices up in the 160+ range. We intended yesterday, up on the 17,000 acre impoundment lake called the Chippewa Flowage, to go ride a boat with a nature-loving couple who are as deep into loons as can be, but the lake air was so dirty you couldn't see the opposite shore across even short reaches. We cancelled. Posted by: Mr Gaga at July 13, 2025 06:28 PM (zeLd4) 140

Breakfast potatoes. Here is a list of ingredients our Collier county FL locally owned chain, Skillets, lists for the menu item they call Skillets potatoes.
Potatoes, milk, cream, cream cheese, and chives. When presented, the dish looks sort of like a small omelet, like they took a thick potato pancake and folded it in half. Forking into the thing, you can see the cream cheese in the center, not a thick dollop, just a thin layer. I wonder if they mix the dairy items together with a whip, measures such that the mix is like a light cake frosting, fold in the chives, and smear it onto a pancake, then fold, then finish in oven. Whatcha think? Posted by: Mr Gaga at July 13, 2025 06:47 PM (zeLd4) 149
