Bringing back the food thread..

[ET2SN]

I looked for it but couldn't find it.

Anyway, Fall is coming to the Northern Hemisphere and its time to start thinking about something besides the grill.

Get yer beans on!



Cajun spices are good but sometimes you really need to find some Soul Food spices (aka: The I-tis) for your greens. "Beef Bacon" sounds a lot like Tallow and sometimes nothing can replace Bacon like Bacon.

I need to find a good recipe for Hush Puppies.

That's because we did not have a thread with the word food in it-Not before now.

Instead we have pizza-thread and other food related thread Which I right now can't remember the title of.

I know I had a national dish thread.

Edit
I found by searching a thread made by me, that we had a thread with the word food in the title
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=251427

And then we had
Skybird's

Oh man does this dish look delicious or what

- pizza: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...187623&page=16

- burger: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=251618

And either a thread on baking bread, or bread recipes scattered across the existing threads.

Now lets take about food a thing we can't be without, not for long that is.

Oh, we can, we can be completely without any carbohydrates, and be healthier than we are with them. What we would need instead as an energy provider, is good fat. In fact I have bread just once every 10-14 days now. I still like bvread, but I now feel better off without it. If I would not love the taste of bread so much, I would live completely without bread, thats absolutely no problem, and only have the occasional pizza dough and pasta.

But that belongs into the health thread.

I meant in general and yes there are things we can live fine without.

Now that we talk about pizza dough and pasta

Cuts 70 percent of production: 'It's a very, very serious situation'

Gas prices are very high at the moment.

And the consequences have been felt in the European fertiliser industry, where fertiliser producers have cut capacity by 70% overall.

"The fertilizer industry in Europe has just closed over 70 percent of production capacity. This is a very, very serious situation that is completely out of the realm of possibility. This is a much bigger reduction in capacity than a year ago," says Jacob Bagge Hansen.

He points out that the situation was already serious back in the autumn of 2021. But from here it has only accelerated.

Fertiliser prices have been high for a long time, and with no prospect of prices settling right now, the consequences may be that food production will have to be reduced.

The media report that some production can be saved by importing more ammonia from other parts of the world.

But that is not easy, as there are limits to how quickly ammonia production can be ramped up, and that would just send ammonia prices soaring instead. Moreover, far from all fertiliser plants are built to take ammonia.

My fault, Markus, you wrote "lets talk abotu FOOD, a thing we cant be without", by I received somehow "Lets talk about BREAD, a thing we cant be without".

Completely my own fault. Neurons on the loose....

I like green beans with savory and bacon, or beans in bacon coat, with potatoes and lamb in minty-minty peppermint sauce.


Lamb is a very healthy meat, becasue sheep normally are always held on trhe greass, are pastured. That means much less Omega-6 and more Omega 3, compared to animal meat and animal fats from feeding with corn, soy and the likes. - Thats GOOD!

If you remove the peppermint sauce then I would eat it.

Someone mentioned bacon
Have anyone of you tried this Bacon Explosion ?

You want especially that sauce! People kill for it.

Why is it that you two can always scatter one my threads with ONE post?






Actually, I want to start messing around with a recipe for Hush Puppies. More like a variation, I want to start with a basic 50/50 mix of corn meal and corn flower with baking powder and some herbs and maybe some bacon crumbles thrown in.

The twist is that I want to borrow from the process of making Bagels and heat a pot of water to boiling while heating up some cooking oil. Once the water is boiling, I plan to add a tea spoon of salt and a table spoon of sugar to the water. For the batter, I want something a little stiffer than pan cake batter but not much thicker.

I plan to (tea) spoon the batter into the pot of water. It should sink and start to cook. When the dough is cooked enough to make the baking powder active, they should then float to the surface. After that, allow to dry off on some paper towel and chuck them into the hot oil and deep fry until golden brown.

Sweet jalapeno hush puppies would be interesting, I know that's the way I like my cornbread so...

Sweet Thai Chili would make for some interesting hush puppies too.

Actually, ET2SN, the Hush puppies recipe isn't too hard. Try this on for size.

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1⁄2 cup cornmeal
• 1⁄4 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon onion powder

Directions

Combine dry ingredients.

• Add egg and milk.
• Stir well.
• Should be the consistency of bread batter.
• If too thin add more corn meal or flour.
• Drop by teaspoonful into hot grease.
• Cook until brown.

I hope this helps. I get the feeling you already know this recipe and working on variations of it.


~ Enjoy ~
