raisin pie
only one in the family who likes raisin pie ... instead of making a whole pie I do individual pies or tarts, freeze most and take out 1 or 2 when I get a yearning | |

Shorty- love brussel sprouts- but mushrooms make me nauseous- they smell horrible when frying in butter- makes me gag and they're... gross- sorry! | |

pork cracklin' is the skin on the pork roast - you score through the skin and fat making diamond crosscuts about 1/4" to 1/2" then stuff in the oven - as the roast cooks, the skin (cracklin') crisps up - before you slice the roast, cut off the skin and underlying fat, remove fat from the crisp skin and munch to your heart's content ... if you're lucky, your butcher will keep the cut off fat and skin for you
pork rinds are what we get in bags - it's the pork skin sliced paper thin then deep fried to puff up - but you gota love the crunchy ones at the bottom of the bag | |

Posted: 9/7/2006 4:18:46 PM | No, not talking about pork rinds- these are pork rendered pieces of fat, fried, with the skin attached- i swear they come in a bag at the grocery store, costs like $2- honest!!! | |

Posted: 9/8/2006 7:36:22 AM | | My local IGA has them- not sure who else carries them- they're called Pork Cracklin's- usually in the peanuts, unpopped popcorn section on the bottom shelf (maybe they think we won't find them there cos they're so unhealthy, lol!) They are a bit difficult to find sometimes. Good luck! :) | |

Posted: 9/8/2006 10:31:49 PM | My breakfast sandwich:
1 fried egg, 1 can sardines (the jalepeno ones are best) with the skin and bones, lettuce and motza on whole wheat dripping with ketchup.
Try it, it rocks! | |

Posted: 9/9/2006 6:49:28 PM | | There was/is a Chinese candy called "Haw-flakes" that came wrapped like rolls of pennies, in a pink wrapper. They were actually shaped like discs and were sort of sweet. Are those the ones? | |

Anyone know if you can get them in Victoria? I've looked around but haven't poked into the darkest corners yet ... | |

Posted: 9/12/2006 3:10:03 PM | Hi!! I am from Canada. My dad was a hunter so we had quite the interesting foods on the table. Some of the foods I have tried include:
-deer (white tail and mulies)
-elk
-moose
-caribou
-antelope
-Canada geese
-prairie chickens
-partridges
-duck (not my fav-- too oily)
-bear
-buffalo (friends raised them so NO before you ask-- they were NOT hunted)
Growing up -- my friends would hesitate before agreeing to stay for supper. LOL! Today-- I get tracked down to ask for the recipes on how to prepare the game!! Too funny!! | |

Posted: 9/12/2006 4:11:54 PM | Having lived in Europe for years, I learnt to love the following:
Venison steaks,
Escargot (snails cooked in their shells in oodles of garlic butter),
Frog's legs (also cooked in oodles of butter),
all sorts of raw fish for breakfast (in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and sometimes in Holland)
(when I say all sorts, there are hundreds of variations to savour as delectable),
and some wonderful Greek food... such as
Shakshouka (a sort of tomato/salsa sauce.. with an egg cracked into it.. break the egg yolk to fun thru the sauce).. wonderful,
all sorts of stuffed vegies.l.. like capsicums.. eggplant, vine leaves.. etc
and who can ever forget Fatty's chilli King Prawns at Newton Circus in Singapore. (his garlic King Prawns are pretty damn good too...)
I'm NOW hungry...
hahahah | |
