Re: Food but not recipes
Since my dad does some very fancy cooking, it is quite fun to point out the couple of oopses along the line, such as getting distracted and forgetting to consider displacement when brining a turkey.

Re: Food but not recipes
Pancakes in this house are crêpes, or palicsinta, Hungarian crêpes, as I grew up eating them. Every time the grandkids are here, they want palicsinta. It takes a long time to make a recipe and a half of them, but the kids have a great time filling them up and eating them. I make them all, and then we all sit down to eat.

I like buckwheat pancakes, and mayo, but not at the same time.

Weeks after the arrival of Brood X, the buzzy swarm of cicadas that emerge from the ground every 17 years to cover trees and sidewalks across a swath of the country, federal health officials have a new warning: People with seafood allergies shouldn’t eat the insects.
The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday issued the advice to would-be bug-munchers via Twitter, noting that the cicadas “share a family relation to shrimp and lobsters.”

Re: Food but not recipes
Yesterday, I ordered filet mignon sliders from a restaurant (delivery, of course). They included various packets of condiments including...
Mayo.
I didn't use it. I was not sure if it was for the fries or the sliders which already had a light horseradish cream. It was light enough to add but did not cover the wonderful tasting meat.
The fries were nicely seasoned so any condiment would have covered that.

Re: Food but not recipes
Hey Cosco shoppers - they have Cahills chive cheese again. It's a seasonal offering, and delicious. Get it while you can. Best served room temp.
The flavor is akin to sour cream and onion tater chips. Not delicate or subtle at all. Pairs well with red meat and robust red wine, but not fruit. Good for fondue.

we European commies must have the better capitalism - we never had any food shortage, Heinz ketchup was always available (produced in the Netherlands). Of course I cannot speak for the UK brethrens under their self imposed Brexit

And I can't speak for the other 49 states or the other 57 counties of California, but there was always plenty of Heinz on the shelves when I made my frequent visits to the condiment aisle at Nob Hill Foods to restock on creamy, delicious, yummy, delectable, oh-so-good-for-sammiches, mayonnaise, which is an important part of a healthy lunch and an indispensable/irreplaceable ingredient in a BLT.

Re: Food but not recipes
The shortage is of small packets of ketchup used in fast food restaurants and for takeout orders.

We went to Taco Bell the other night (no judgment!) and they gave us, without even asking, 46 packets of sauce. It was literally like a double handful of sauce packets. Not a single paper napkin (boo...I use them like paper towels here) or a straw, but holy shit, we're set with Diablo sauce for several years.

Re: Food but not recipes
I had a discussion today with a manager of a restaurant I have been frequenting often (take out during the pandemic) during the last year, and even somewhat regular before that. He was mentioning how they had run into difficulty getting plastic forks, chicken (one time for two weeks on this), and other things like ketchup, mustard, and napkins.sugar magnolia wrote: ↑Tue Jun 15, 2021 3:09 pm We went to Taco Bell the other night (no judgment!) and they gave us, without even asking, 46 packets of sauce.

Re: Food but not recipes
The rhubarb wont quit here in NW Ohio. Last year I did all the traditional rhubarb stuff. Recently I saw a recipe for a rhubarb cocktail using a syrup with it as the base. I like cocktails, but I love salads with flavoured vinaigrette more.
So a couple weeks ago, I chopped up and cooked a pound of rhubarb in several cups of plain white vinegar and a quarter cup of sugar. Cooked it to mush then drained and strained it. Bottled it an empty glass vinegar bottle. It is just wonderful with olive oil and thyme on a salad. Tomatoes and Feta, of course.
This picture is about 1/16th of what I could have harvested. I really need to thin it all out and freeze some for winter pie and.cobbler.

Re: Food but not recipes
The hobby farm on the road between my house and my office just finished the rhubarb season. I missed it last year, so I made sure to get quite a bit this year. They only have about 10 plants but had piles of stalks at the farm stand.Patagoniagirl wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 2:22 pm The rhubarb wont quit here in NW Ohio.

I cook it as sauce, with light sugar, to put over ice cream or just to eat as a snack. We probably cooked up about 15 pounds this year, and it's a little overrepresented in the mix of stuff in the freezer.
Never tried it as a salad dressing ingredient--thanks for the idea. Will have to wait until next year. I'm going to order one Victoria plant (the most common variety, medium tart) and one Colorado Red (very tart, bright red, no green) so I can make it really zippy (read: minimal sugar) like my grandmother used to make. She always said it was done right when one spoonful made your eyelids sweat.

Re: Food but not recipes
I would say the same, but with the way my roommate goes through ketchup, we usually have a shortage ourselves.Volkonski wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 5:03 pmJohn Thomas8 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 4:56 pmIf they're needed, we've accumulated 7 short tons of the these from ordering with DoorDash the past 15 months.

The last year I've seen a lot of comments about raisins in potato salad. I have never heard or seen such a thing, have you?

The only salad raisins belong in is carrot, and I don't eat either raisins or carrots.
Raisins in bread pudding is a felony, too.

Re: Food but not recipes
As a lifelong Southerner, I have heard Sugar's opinion about raisins and salads expressed many a time. There is one salad that raisins complement well. It is made at a local pub/diner by lifelong Southerners.
Ingredients:
Baby spinach fresh
Pine nuts
Slices of white onion
Raisins
Fresh fried bacon pieces
Crumbled feta cheese
Ott's Honey Mustard Dressing (my preference)
Grilled salmon if you are really hungry
This is my reward for getting through an IBS episode when I can finally eat greens again. And, of course, a Dos Equis Ambar or two to wash it down.

That sounds like a cross between a hot bacon grease salad and a watermelon salad, both of which I can eat my weight in.Tiredretiredlawyer wrote: ↑Fri Jul 02, 2021 6:41 pm As a lifelong Southerner, I have heard Sugar's opinion about raisins and salads expressed many a time.
