With a fancy name like "jambon du fromage",
You can charge three times more for a Ham and cheese sandwich.

I had a au beurre d'arachide et confiture the other day.

Actually I did work as a Baker at "Vie de France" one year, back in the mid 1970s
the early morning hours killed me.

"the early morning hours killed me."
Very kneady I would bet.

I got an unexpected gift in the mail from Hang10Tiki this week - a 1973 "Family Favorites Hawaiian Cookbook" and the 1973 New Hebrides Red Cross "Island Recipes". Looks for some recipes from these books here soon. Thanks Jon :D

Mad Dog
Glad the package made it
Have fun
I can't wait to see what ya make

Jon

The Hawaiian book is mostly "Faux Hawaiian" food from the 70s - cocktail weiners in orange marmalade, etc. Many of the recipes include MSG as an ingredient :lol: Very entertaining.
The Island Recipes is actually a reprint of a 1947 book. Contains recipes for Turtle Soup, dishes made from "avocada pears", paw paws, choko, breadfruit, taro, and grenadilla. The recipe for "A Good Touring Curry" calls for 1 tin of "Square Meat" (can't find out what that is? Some sort of Spam?), 1 tin of "Ox and Palm" (a corned beef), and New Caledonian crab. Very interesting!

A nice top loin steak wit South African smoked seasoning, fries And a Greek salad with feta. Not a masterpiece but very good.

What is in South African smoked seasoning?
that may be a whole new cuisine, I have yet to try.
Thanks Trav!

The seasoning is from Trader Joe's and comes in a handy grinder. Very very good. Here is a description from the website.

South African Smoke begins with African-grown paprika that is slow-smoked for 48 hours over a sustainable African hardwood called Acacia Saligna, commonly used as barbecue coals. This process enriches the paprika with a smoky, roasted flavor that evokes the South African braai, or barbecue. The smoked paprika is blended with sea salt, garlic and basil and packaged in a grinder, giving you fresh-ground flavor in every twist. Use it as a rub for meats or veggies prior to cooking, or keep it on the table in place of everyday salt & pepper. You’ll find this spice blend only at your neighborhood Trader Joe’s, where we’re selling each 1.76 ounce grinder for $2.29.

Looks great Trav. Thanks for the info on the new seasoning

Brazilian Feijoada (fay-ZWAH-da) Black beans with pork (loin), pork (bacon), pork (ham), and pork (Linguiça - Portuguese sausage) Served on white rice with the traditional orange slice. “This is a dish of bold temptation and prompt surrender for carnivores” - Leticia Moreinos Schwartz.

I prepared some Huli Huli chicken last night after returning home from a “going home to Oahu” party for a friend.He shared his recipe with me in exchange for my huapia recipe. His was ridiculously simple- oj, pineapple juice , salt. sugar and plenny ginger root sliced/grated as fine as possible. I marinated the chicken pieces (boneless) in a baggy overnight and grilled em in my Weber this afternoon.Served it with some steamed rice and washed it down with a variation of a “Planter’s Punch” I added some bitters, Cointreau, and a dash of Maraschino liqueur.
Course we had Huapia fo dessert. Wow!

Pictures David?

Sounds great Dave!
I made Cream Cheese Stuffed Pumpkin Spice French Toast for Saturday morning breakfast

I needs me some of that, right now!

In my never ending quest to take common dinners
and gourmet the hell out of them, I went to my local butcher to get a special fresh ground mix
of top sirloin & Pork for a meatloaf, I even made my own homemade Sourdough Breadcrumbs

With this version I tweaked the recipe by adding a bit of allspice to the mix
(This tasted so good, I will be using it from now on)

EGGS!!!

Those eggs have butts!
How did you do that Skip?

I was able to get one egg with no tears, but it is kinda hard as
you must peel eggs hot.
Going to make devil eggs like this.

But these days who can peel an egg without tearing it all up?
