Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: LadyJean Date: 08 Jan 11 - 01:20 AM I went to a Native American festival last year and was served some bear stew. It tasted like my mom's beef stew, one of my ultimate comfort foods. Like mom's stew it wasn't half bad cold. Mom ruined us for beef stew and macaroni and cheese. If it isn't her recipe, my sister and I aren't interested. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: gnu Date: 06 Jan 11 - 07:02 PM Ed... ever catch an eel on a small fishing rod? Feels like a wash tub on the line. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: gnu Date: 05 Jan 11 - 08:13 PM Ed... eel spear? Don't you have a salmon spear? It would work just as well. Oh, you won't get so many eels maybe, but, to me, that's a good thing. I dislike the taste, unless I am HUNGRY. When I was a lad, we never used a spear for eels. We just used a properly cut alder or large flat stones from the brook to slpash them out. It's all about knowing what to look for and walking very slowly... when that waving eel straightens out and pretends to be a stick on the bottom in shallow water... LUNCH! |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Maryrrf Date: 05 Jan 11 - 05:41 PM Fried Conger Eel is a delicacy in Chile - my mouth is watering now thinking about it. It has the texture of a firm fleshed, white fish, and it's delicious. I think you simply bread it and fry it, and they also make a conger eel chowder that is wonderful. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: gnu Date: 05 Jan 11 - 04:49 PM Good on him froggy! I shall be at Nanna`s bakery mid afternoon tomorrow to collect fresh coconut cream and lemon meringue pies for Mum. I shall actually sample a taste of each as I had set a piece of CCP as my goal when I reached 200 pounds but did not partake. I just hope I don`t get the fever. Of course, such fare is not gross as intended in this thread. Simply gross from a scale POV. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: frogprince Date: 05 Jan 11 - 04:10 PM One more re the father-in-law. We also learned that if he doesn't consider the fare delived by "meals on wheels" on a given day to be tasty enough, he will probably pour bleu cheese salad dressing on it, whatever it may be, and chow down. No, he isn't at all senile. He's just someone who has always been very much his own individual, and certainly isn't any less so at 92 years of age. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Ed T Date: 27 Dec 10 - 09:13 PM A "Donair" is an ultimate comfort foods, especially with students,at the end of a night of drinking at local pubs. A donair is an eastern Canadian variation on the döner kebab (also, some say it is a variation of a Greek Gyro) introduced in the early 1970s. The meat is shaved from a loaf (cooked on a rotating electric spit) made from a combination of (finely ground) ground beef, flour or bread crumbs, and various spices. The thickened sauce is made from evaporated milk, sugar, vinegar, and most often garlic. The meat and sauce are served rolled in (moist and briefly heated) pita bread with condiments such as diced tomato and raw diced onion. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 22 Dec 10 - 04:22 AM "Chips or fries served with gravy. It doesn't sound like it would go together but a nice rare indulgence. " Very popular in Australia - almost a 'standard' hotbox line, and I suspect English too. The gravy is usually fairly salty, so it adds salt, as well as a little 'sauce' style lubrication. A while ago here in Brisbane, a food chain started with 'New York Style' Hot Chips. Sadly, they did not last long, as the 'product', while probably very good for a snowy area, was laden with fat of various descriptions, and the extra energy was hardly needed in a sub tropical climate ... :-) |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 21 Dec 10 - 09:00 PM Just got a present from my older son- A nice chunk of Spanish Serrano ham. In Toledo (Spain) an appetizer consisted of thin slices of Serrano ham and wedges of sweet cantaloupe. So good I had to repeat order. He also sent Spanish chorizo. It is made with some of the less useful parts of the pig, but lovely taste. What parts? Don't ask, don't tell! |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: GUEST,seth in Olympia Date: 21 Dec 10 - 02:42 AM I got a 1944 copy of life Magazine from the library here and some of the stuff mentioned above was featured in "War-time Meal Planning" I always wondered where my mom and grandmother came up with such gross food, so this was informative to me-my mom said Spam was one of the few meat products you could get without using your "meat"coupons, so she and her friends used it a lot. My memory of Ohio cuisine from the forties and fifties had a lot of Spam, bologna, Velveeta and Mrs. Paul's fish-sticks in it, along with Chef Boy-ar-dee, and spinach that came in cans. Lettuce was iceberg-left Ohio as soon as I could, never moved back |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: frogprince Date: 20 Dec 10 - 11:11 AM I was probably in junior high when I first saw some newspaper mention of someone marketing chocolate covered ants. For years I kept thinking I would get some, and pass some to my older sister without any hint of what they were. The odds were vary good that, if she ate them and then found out what they were, she would have "recycled" them immediately. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Ed T Date: 17 Dec 10 - 07:17 PM I haven't had these two since I was a kid. Start with freshly made (and crusty) home made bread. #1 Take fresh heated bacon fat. Put molasses in it. Dip fresh bread into the mixture. #2 Put brown sugar into a dish. Add fresh (or as fresh as you can get) cream. Dont mix it. Dip your bread deep into it, capturing the mix. My recollection is that they were good, but obviously not healthy. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Ed T Date: 17 Dec 10 - 07:03 PM OK, I admit it. I like this one. Its from my youth: Take a slice of bread, thick, home made is best. Pour some gravy over it....don't be bashful, now. Put some Molasses all over the top of it. Eat and enjoy. It may sound gross....but, it tastes just fine. Once you have it, I'd wager you would have it again. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Joe_F Date: 17 Dec 10 - 06:28 PM A couple of days ago I made Christmas cookies, and there was some dough left over after I had filled up the cookie sheets. So I save it in the fridge, and today I sauteed it in butter for use as a dessert. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: GUEST Date: 17 Dec 10 - 02:25 PM `'dutch crunch' bread` Man, that`s like ya died and went to heaven. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 17 Dec 10 - 02:14 PM The Montecristo is a good days-after-turkey meal. Slices of turkey are a good filling. There are many variations, the name is dependent only on dipping the entire sandwich in the egg-milk mixture and frying in butter. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: GUEST,999 Date: 17 Dec 10 - 02:09 PM I have eaten at least twenty kinds of bannock made by the Cree, Slavee, Dodrib, Gwitchen and my sister (miss you, Nancy) who I think learned how to from either the Ojibwa or Mohawk. Hers was the best. She said the `secret` was to use the cheapest lard ya could find. Dang, she made whitefish one evening--it`s a great fish to eat--and I pigged out big time on the bannock. I think of it as one of the three or four best meals I ever ate. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 17 Dec 10 - 02:03 PM Charmion, why stop at that? I fondly remember the Montecristo sandwiches at a favorite restaurant. Heaven! Three slices bread, buttered one side Butter one side of first slice Cover first slice with a slice of ham and a slice of chicken. Butter second slice both sides and top with good cheddar cheese Butter third slice and place on top Trim crusts Cut in half (diagonally if desired) and secure with toothpicks. Mix eggs and milk (as for French toast), and dip sandwiches in the mixture, until well-coated. Fry in butter in hot skillet, adding more butter as needed. The second bread slice may be mushy for your taste- Pre-fry in the skillet before assembly. All slices of meat and cheese should be warm. Remove toothpicks and serve on a warm plate. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Charmion Date: 17 Dec 10 - 09:25 AM Q, your toasted bacon-and-cheese sandwich has a noble relation in French cuisine, the famous "croque Monsieur," which is basically a grilled cheese sandwich with a slice of Westphalian ham in it. Without ham, you get "croque Madame." |
|
Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 16 Dec 10 - 08:38 PM Lots of memories in the contributions above. Kids will eat almost anything, or they did when I was one. Beans on toast is universal, not just British. We had it with a sausage on the side. And I remember the spam with potatoes, sweet or otherwise. Two from university. A Salisbury steak (giant burger without bun), with a large scoop of baked beans and lots of Ketchup, toasted bun on the side. (Nighthawk in Austin). Steak tartare, with mugs of dark beer (German place by the Gesangverein, Austin). Loco moko- Two burger patties, two scoop rice, two scoop gravy, bun on the side. (Several places in Hawai'i). One we do about once a month- Two slices of supermarket 'dutch crunch' bread, containing fried thick-cut bacon, old Canadian cheddar, sliced tomato, a layer of each. The sandwich toasted in butter. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: gnu Date: 16 Dec 10 - 07:07 PM 999... "Forgot to mention I lightly salt it." Jaysus man!!! Joe F ain't got nUthin on you. Salt the bacon fat fried bread? That's not gross... that's fookin sick. My cheeks, what are left of them after the slice&dices are sucked in at the very thought. You win, hands down... I hope. Oh my, oh my. Bread fried in bacon fat... and then add salt? I shall have a hard time getting that off my cheeks. That oughtta be a blues song about hard times er arteries er both. But, I asked, eh? Didn't think I'd hear that one, tho. Again... oh my! |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 16 Dec 10 - 05:23 PM The best 'fry bread' is found on the Navajo homeland (I wouldn't refuse it from any other tribe who makes it). 1 cup flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon powdered milk 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 cup water Mix dry ingredients in a bowl, then pour water over it and stir with a fork until it clumps. Using floured hands, mix the dough, form a ball but do not knead. The inside if the ball should be sticky and the outside well-floured. Cut the dough into 4 pieces; shape, stretch and pat into a rough round about 5-7 inches in diameter. Heat vegetable oil to 350 F, about 1 inch, in a large, cast iron skillet. Check with a small piece to see if it bubbles and begins to fry. Gently place the formed dough in the oil. Press down on the dough as it frys, to submerse the top. Fry to brown and flip. Each side takes 3-4 minutes. Some use the entire recipe in one round, pizza-sized; a little more difficult. Take out and keep warm (but serve within an hour). Cover with your choice of syrup or molasses, or roll lile a tortilla and use your choice of filling. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Genie Date: 16 Dec 10 - 03:20 PM Back in the disco days, I used to burn off a thousand calories or so on the dance floor at a local restaurant called O'Callahans -- and then put back probably twice that many by ordering their "Garbage Grinder" burger. IIRC, it had 1/4 lb. (at least) hamburger, cheese, bun, a fried egg, 2 strips of bacon, mayonnaise (I might have had them hold that), ketchup (which I definitely did have them hold), mustard, pickles, onions, tomato, lettuce. It might even have had guacamole too. But that was real "comfort food!" |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: GUEST,999 Date: 16 Dec 10 - 12:34 PM I guess my favourite would have to be bread--whole wheat of course--fried in bacon fat. I have about two slices per six month period. I know bacon`s not good for a guy. Forgot to mention I lightly salt it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Charmion Date: 16 Dec 10 - 09:37 AM No mention of that great British dish, baked beans on toast! With a fried egg on top! Lay two slices of toast side by side on a plate, ladle the beans over both, and gently place an egg fried sunnyside-up on top of each. Works best with home-made beans, and a dollop of HP Sauce on each egg. Devour with tea ... |

And a mug of tea. BTW, everything is fried in lard, or at least the bacon and sausage fat. Some people add baked beans, but I find that truly disgusting. |

Other comfort foods in my family growing up were pancakes 'n' gravy, and torn bread ends 'n' gravy. Also turn bread ends and dark Karo syrup. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Seamus Kennedy Date: 16 Dec 10 - 01:29 AM When I'm performing at the Shannon Pub in Buffalo, NY, I simply have to have the following for dinner at least one of the nights: an order of Buffalo wings correctly prepared i.e. deep-fried until crisp, and then smothered in Durkee's "Frank's Louisiana Hot Sauce" with celery sticks and blue cheese sauce for dipping, accompanied by a pint of Guinness and followed by a hot fudge sundae. Exquisite. And the Shannon makes the best Buffalo wings outside of the Anchor Bar. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: LadyJean Date: 15 Dec 10 - 12:29 AM Here I sit, nostalgic for my mom's spinach soup. She made it herself. It was like pea soup, only thinner and a nice, dark green. The soup was delicious, and it was such fun to bring a thermos full to school, and holding the bottle well above the cup pour it so everyone could see that dark green liquid. One friend thought it was moss soup. I wonder if I could find her recipe. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 14 Dec 10 - 05:48 AM I have found that with ice cream, the low fat types are useless - I end up eating far more - and they are higher in sugar anyway, so little effective less calorie input... So the most indulgent ones are the ones for me - I can only have small quantities before I am sated. Perhaps not as GROSS as others ... |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 13 Dec 10 - 10:31 AM When I was a kid, in the late Pleistocene era, my mother would often ask what my brother and I wanted for supper. The answer was often, often: Fried Spam and sweet potatoes! That would be canned sweet potatoes, by the way. Spam cut about a half inch thick and fried. And, although we didn't specifically say so, it was assumed that that set of delicacies would be accompanied by canned jellied cranberry sauce. Haven't had that in More's the pity, more's the pity.

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: LilyFestre Date: 11 Dec 10 - 10:06 PM I also really like to dip salty french fries from McDonald's into a vanilla milkshake....I do it maybe once every 5 years...love that sweet and salty combination!!! And every great once in awhile I love to take frozen Lite CoolWhip and dunk Wheat Thins in it. YUM! Waffles with lots of butter, real maple syrup and sausage is a hit too... Junk like this has been gone from my diet for a long time but I still love it!!!!!!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Jeri Date: 11 Dec 10 - 09:42 PM Oh yeah! Corned beef hash! I never got it as a kid because my dad had had some sort of post-traumatic WWII reaction to it. (Apparently, he ate a LOT of it.) Naturally, the first time I tried it, I loved it. Over-easy fried eggs with toast and bacon, or a cheese omelet. And for the grossest of the gross, something I encountered in Texas: Frito pie. You take some Hormel chili, heat it up (add hot sauce to your taste), dump Fritos in, add grated Mexican-style cheese, smoosh it all and throw on a glop of sour cream, if you like it. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Rapparee Date: 11 Dec 10 - 09:25 PM Freshly caught catfish, breaded in corn meal and deep-fried in lard. Peanut butter chocolate cake (no eggs, recipe from about 1948). Well prepared liver and onions. Fried calves' brains on...no, I've actually eaten that but it wasn't by choice!!! It has the consistency of fried fat globules. Panhaus, fried and served with syrup. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: kendall Date: 11 Dec 10 - 08:56 PM Janie, I love canned corned beef! For comfort food, Chocolate ice cream, Reese's peanut butter cups or Oreos. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: katlaughing Date: 11 Dec 10 - 08:31 PM Scrambled eggs with a piece of toast and hot chocolate to dunk it in. It was a quick Sunday evening winter meal after coming down off the mountain where we played in the snow half the day in wet, soggy woolens! But, I don't have to water down the eggs like my mom had to to make them stretch to feed all seven of us and I have more butter/oleo. Well, she did, too, after all the kids grew up and moved out.:-) |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Janie Date: 11 Dec 10 - 08:21 PM Spam. Oh yeh. One of my favorite meals as a kid when Mom and Dad were absolutely broke only I didn't know it was baked Spam and canned sweet potatoes. Mom would put the rectangle of spam in the center of a glass pie plate, and empty a can of drained sweet potatoes around it. She'd make a syrup from water, brown sugar and vanilla flavoring, pour that over, and pop it in the oven for 20 minutes to heat through. A can of peas sprinkled with nutmeg was the typical side dish. I thought it a meal fit for kings. Working with the poor as I do, I know this is still considered a fine meal by many. I don't remember mac and cheese mixes when I was a kid. Mom made mac and cheese with velveeta. Mac and cheese was always a side dish unless Mom splurged and cut hot dogs into bite-sized pieces to stir into the finished product. If there wasn't meat then it wasn't a meal in our house in the 50's. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: The Fooles Troupe Date: 11 Dec 10 - 08:09 PM Take a block of Philly Cream Cheese, freeze totally solid. Then chip/shatter pieces off. It becomes very brittle, so if you use a knife the right way, you can break nice squarish lumps off. Eat while solid - a sort of sour ice cream taste. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: gnu Date: 11 Dec 10 - 08:09 PM Spam... canned heartburn... excellent choice! |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: gnu Date: 11 Dec 10 - 08:08 PM Urp. I ate the whole thing. It was delicious and terribly decadent. But, I did it "healthy"... no marg or milk. >;-) I expect tomorrow morning might be unpleasant but I was comforted. |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: LilyFestre Date: 11 Dec 10 - 08:03 PM Spam and mac & cheese with spicy mustard in it. Yep. Spam. Love it. My husband tells me it's made of "lips and assholes." LOL. Michelle |

Subject: RE: BS: GROSS comfort food From: Jeri Date: 11 Dec 10 - 07:26 PM I can pig out on Kraft Mac & Cheese, but for my birthday, I had Annie's Mac & Cheese--just powdered cheese without preservatives. It's probably just as fattening. I love the frozen fettuccine alfredo, which is just uppity mac & cheese. |

Subject: BS: GROSS comfort food From: gnu Date: 11 Dec 10 - 07:14 PM I make mac and cheese with Cracker Barrel Old cheedar. It's gooood. It's decadent. It's a once every month or two comfort/treat. But, this week, Kraft Dinner is 59p a package and I haven't eaten that garbage since I was a kid. I have the water near a boil and I am going to pig out... I hope it's as tastey as I remember it when it's all we could afford. So, what's your comfort/treat that's deacdent garbage that you KNOW is bad for you that you PIG OUT ON? |
