Hoooo . . . kay! I just upped the soup kettle to five gallons. And I ordered three loaves of sourdough bread to spread the marrow on.


Ever been to South Africa? There's a barbecue joint in Jo'berg that serves marrow bones as an appetizer. Mmmmmmm . . . mmm!

On sourdough, even!

-absolutely quivers-

*proceeds to start licking Maeve's ear . . . up around the shell . . . down the inside . . . sucks on lobe . . . all the while spreading marrow on sourdough and gently waving it under her nose*

 

[Trinique_Fire]

Homemade blood sausage with a side of hot sauerkraut covered in homemade croutons.

-goes purr-

Of course, not being able to get ANY of that often, I'll go with fresh apple pie, or homemade ice cream.

Hello beautiful...I used to love blood sausage when I was a little girl. Some relatives of mine actually make various sausage, so we got the fresh stuff.

Can't eat it anymore LOL

 

[Trinique_Fire]

Mashed potatoes stirred together with salad.

Stands up straight and holds bread and marrow up over-head, out of reach. Grins nastily.

Hey you! -big squishy hugs, little lap at the collarbone-

We used to make our own, too. There's very little that's better than either homemade hard salami, or fresh black pudding. And since I'm the only 'kid' (two generations of offspring) that took an interest in learning, I'm inheriting both the meat grinder AND the noodle cutter. Both cast iron, heavy duty, never going to break thingies.

Woohoo!

Big family growing up, man. Big catholic family... and I was the youngest. It could get nasty.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Wow! Serious Wurstmacherei, Maeve. I hunt piggies out here in the West. Want to join the fun?

*winces then breaks out laughing* Okay, lady, you win this round. http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh34/Molly_Wens/lol.gif My offer on the wildschwein still stands, though.

 

[Trinique_Fire]

Sheetz food. Anything really.

Oh, and their new cookies n cream drinks.

(smeggin connection anyway...)

I thought so.

I won't go hunt them, but if you kill them and field dress them you'll have more sausage than you know what to do with.

Just thinking about comfort food makes me hungry.

My comfort food is simple, Sunday dinner fare.

Roast beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, fresh rolls, apple pie.

It must remind me of family dinners as a kid. Simpler times.

That makes me wonder what my own children will recall as comfort food.

I certainly hope it isn't Chinese take-out.

 

[lesbiaphrodite]

hot dogs, a big coke with lots of ice, and a sunny afternoon

At least it won't be fried Spam and potatoes, like my dad used to make. I don't eat Spam but if someone fried it up in cubes with potatoes, I'd eat it.

 

[Misty_Morning]

.....

 

[DesertPirate]

Fried chicken, mashed potatos, lots of gravy

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Damn, this thread is making me hungry and I just had a decent sized breakfast. Sarah, that Sunday dinner you just described is what we're making for Mom on Sunday. It's just a little dressed up.

 

[OhMissScarlett]

Long-cooked green beans with potatoes. The kind that get dark olive green and melt-in-your-mouth tender.

The potatoes have to be NEW or it's just not quite right, with some onion and a little bacon. Mmm, just like at Grandma's house.


Some more:

tuna casserole
mac and cheese
fried chicken and mashed potatoes.
ham and beans.

I still do spam fritters and chips - and the family say "thanks" even if it is just politeness.

I fuckin' like it!

When I was coming up, my mother used to make this dish that we called Nuna and Toodles. It was pretty simple--a can of tuna, a pound of sauteed mushrooms, butter, Bea Monde seasoning (Spice Islands's version of celery salt) chopped scallions, pepper and broad egg noodles. We could always depend on seeing this a day or so before grocery shopping day. We loved it.

In fact, when I was living in Iran, I tried to reproduce it, and found it to be much pricier there than it had been in the States. It broke down about like this:

1. can of tuna. approximately 40 rials
2. Noodles, approximately 20 rials
3. bunch of scallions, about 2 rials
4. pound of butter, about 80 rials
5. Beau Monde seasoning, N/A--it was sent to me from Texas
6. 1200 rials for the mushrooms
7. 12,000 for someone to fly up to Tehran and come back with the mushrooms

Tuna casserole, I forgot that one. With crunched-up potato chips on top.
Cottage cheese and potato chips.
