[PROPOSAL] Collaborative View from Earth on Earth Food

[konamouse]

How about starting with a chicken stirfry using the ingredients from that Recipe Card?



Actually, here is a homemade Macaroni & Cheese recipe (sorry, it's in American measurements):

1/4 c butter
1/4 c flour
2 c milk
1 tsp salt
2 c cooked elbow macaroni
2 c shredded cheddar cheese
1. Mix together butter, flour, milk & salt over low heat (do not let milk get too hot) to make a white sauce.
2. Add 1 1/2 c shredded cheddar cheese; stir until melted.
3. In 2 qt casserole, place 1 c cooked elbow macaroni, cover with half of the cheese sauce, then repeat. Top with remaining 1/2 c shredded cheese.
4. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.

Or, we can send them a gif of a box of Kraft Mac & Cheese.

Faggots and Peas

1.5 lbs pig's fry 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
2 medium sized onions salt and pepper
2 tbsps fresh sage or 1 of dried 1 tbsp plain flour

Wash the fry, leaving the caul (the lacy, fatty membrane surrounding the stomach and gut) and leave it in lukewarm water to make it more pliable. Mince or chop the fry and onion and mix thoroughly with the breadcrumbs, seasoning and sage. Form into eight portions and wrap each portion in a piece of caul. Place in a baking dish and cover with the hot water. Bake in a moderate oven for about three hours until the faggots are nicely browned. More hot water may be added if needed. Thicken the juice with the flour half an hour before serving.

These faggots are traditionally served with mushy peas: soak dried peas overnight and then steam or boil slowly while the faggots are cooking. ]

Okay, I vote that we don't just send in dreadful English recipes!

Kidding. Now who knows how to make a good haggis?

[tanner]

well you asked
but dont send it -- its not my recipe
i do love haggis tho


1 sheep's lung
1 sheep's stomach
1 sheep heart
1 sheep liver
1/2 lb fresh suet (kidney leaf fat is preferred)
3/4 cup oatmeal (the ground type, NOT the Quaker Oats type!)
3 onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup stock
Wash lungs and stomach well, rub with salt and rinse. Remove membranes and excess fat. Soak in cold salted water for several hours. Turn stomach inside out for stuffing.
Cover heart and liver with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Chop heart and coarsely grate liver. Toast oatmeal in a skillet on top of the stove, stirring frequently, until golden. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Loosely pack mixture into stomach, about two-thirds full. Remember, oatmeal expands in cooking.

Press any air out of stomach and truss securely. Put into boiling water to cover. Simmer for 3 hours, uncovered, adding more water as needed to maintain water level. Prick stomach several times with a sharp needle when it begins to swell; this keeps the bag from bursting. Place on a hot platter, removing trussing strings. Serve with a spoon. Ceremoniously served with "neeps, tatties and nips" -- mashed turnips, mashed potatoes, nips of whiskey.

How about this for a bit of ethnic variety?

Ooooh, I have an easy and very tasty one!

Mexican Shredded Beef:
1 2-3lb lean beef roast
2-4 cloves garlic (or more, if you like garlic--more makes it better!)
1 can chopped green chiles
2/3c water

Coarsely chop garlic. Throw in the bottom of a crockpot/slow cooker. Rinse beef roast; put on top of garlic. Pour chiles on top of roast. Add water to crockpot. Cover, set to high, leave for 3-6 hours. After cooking, remove roast from crockpot, trim any fat, and shred with forks. Put meat back in crockpot and stir up with juices and chiles until re-heated through.

Serve as taco or burrito filling, or in any Mexican recipe that requires shredded beef.

This recipe also works with pork roasts (as I found by accident), but pork needs a certain something else that I haven't quite figured out yet.

And rose, I'm going to have to try out your margarita recipe...

Perhaps we're all forgetting the staple of a Cube Hunter's diet:

1. Remove plastic wrapping.
2. Insert in crisping sleeve.
3. Microwave on HIGH for 1-1.5 minutes.
4. Enjoy.

You all know what I'm talking about.
