Then you steam or boil the cod until it reaches the consistency of Jello. When you are ready to eat it you soak it in water, draining and refilling the vessel several times. Lye, as in drain cleaner or homemade soap reagent. Here's one.įor those of you not blessed with Scandinavian heritage or who haven't lived in the midwest among the various Swedes and Norskies, it is perfectly good cod that has been preserved in lye.

They're just one of a wide variety of tasty meat pies and pastries you can get in the British archipelago, chief amongst which (in my opinion) is the mighty Cornish Pasty. I would also add, to the poster you quoted, that no-one eats jellied eels or spotted dick anymore, and steak & kidney pies are hardly a staple. Now, I will add the caveat that I love American(-style) food, however that's mainly because it's all mostly a combination of any from sweet/sticky/greasy/hot and my palate is entirely unsophisticated. See, I'm inclined to agree with you there, old chum. I cannot really get over how a mixing pot culture like America can be so totally rigid and set in how things are in the kitchen.

Having lived in both countries a reasonable time, the UK utterly dominates the US for variety, innovation and quality.

The hundred thousand Chinese restaurants with no seasoning or heat to their food, to appease the American conservative palate for sweet and bland. The same menu repeated in a hundred thousand Italian restaurants, with food that barely resembles fresh Italian food. Bourdain knows it and has given it multiple reference.Ĭoming to America from the UK, I was amazed at how totally conservative the US is with it's food, it's endless roads of restaurants all selling the same thing. The French chefs know it, they know they've been trapped by their own dogma and suffocating rules for too long. British is producing the best restaurants, the best chefs in the world right now.

The docs like it when I have it because it's plenty of protein. We tear though it pretty fast around here, pan fried till crisp served with easy over eggs and toast. The bricks get wrapped up and all but one get frozen. When the corn meal is fully hydrated I pour the mush into bread loaf pans to cool. I make the corn meal with the broth and add the meat and chopped garlic along with other herbs and spices. I cool it all down and pick the meat from the bones. Then I strain the meat and bones out of the broth. I simmer the neck bones for a few hours with onions, carrots and celery.

I don’t like it that way, cuz I don’t like when it’s squishy inside. Then you slice it, cook it and eat it! I like it sliced thin and fried crispy in a pan, but most restaurants and diners around here will cut it in big chunks and deep fry it. They basically take everything that’s left over after making hot dogs, then grind it all up and form it into a brick. It’s usually a breakfast meat, goes good with eggs & buttery toast. what’s the grossest thing that you like to eat?įor me I think it would be scrapple.
