Thanks for the greetings. I had turkey and cranberry sauce and stuffing and corn and coffee and pumpkin pie at my brother's house. He's a great cook. Now I know some Europeans think corn is for feeding cattle, but it is really good.

Happy great day to you all, what ever it happens to be.

All on the same plate? I know the Americans are renowned for wierd combinations (peanut butter and "jelly" [aka jam]) but that lot takes the biscuit!!! Wink

As for corn, on the cob or nibbles - either way very pleasant. Have you visited Europe recently? or are you just assuming that what your TV tells you is gospel?

No this was way back in the 70's, if you're old enough, was there during the oil embargo.

Miss the snitzchel.

My mother loved the people in England when she visited there some years back.

Susannah, as to fried banana's don't know as I ever, but I am a big peanut butter and jelly fan. Of course you haven't lived unitl you have a peanut butter and sweet pickle sandwich.

And plenta??? we called it mush.

Unfortunately Leah, yes I am Frowner and the bones and joints (no not those sort .. the ones normally associated with Amsterdam) remind me often.

Peanuts and banana sound OK but then, by adding double cream and ice cream it would not be far off from being a banana split. Fried? No I don't think so - about as appealing as a Mars bar fritter - yuk. Peanut butter and sweet pickle? Hmm, jury is still out on that although it is swayed towards throwing it out.

Tony,

If you try the peanut butter and pickle route, there is also the bread and butter pickle which is good, and some have eaten it with dill pickles (the true dill, not kosher with garlic).

Ah back to work time now.

Hope all had a great weekend.

Leah,

PB&DP must be a (mid)western combination. It's common in my Ohio family, but definitely "Uck" food in NY. [I'll have to try your PB & B&BP combo.]

It's (corn meal)mush to Ohioans; Polenta to Italians; and "Scrapple" to Pennsylvanians when poured into a small loaf pan, refrigerated overnight, sliced 1/4" thick, and (pan)fried for breakfast with butter and maple syrup.

See what gastronomic things we can all learn about WebFOCUS. Anybody use WF in FoodService apps?

Chris, the PB and B&BP may be unique to me. This is making me hungry. I never much cared for fried mush as a child, so my poor son led a deprived life of never having mush.

On a serious note, I should open a question on report caster while I'm thinking about it.

Well all I can say is Biscuits are actually Scones in this part of the world but I've yet to figure out what the 'gravy' is. It's more like a white or béchamel sauce and nothing like a decent drop of Bisto! I dare say you all will find out these things at Summit ....

Thanks for the holiday wishes, Glenda if you want a turkey sandwich I'm on the NE side of Houston and I have plenty left. It was an interesting holiday to say the least. Last Friday my son had told me he was bringing a friend from college. I was expecting 9 people besides that (or more, I have a tendancy to pick up orphans). I bought a 17+ pound turkey. On Monday one couple called and said they were having guests from out-of-town and couldn't make it, on Tuesday my son called and told me his friend is Hindu and doesn't eat any meat and wouldn't even eat stuffing fixed in the turkey and on Wednesday I found out another of my guests had been in a car accident and couldn't make it. That left me with a 17+ pound turkey for 7 people. My son wouldn't even take any back to school with him. I had turkey, dressing (I even made a small pan without broth that didn't go in the turkey for my Hindu guest), mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn on the cob, rice with mixed veggies, rolls, minestrone soup, pecan pie, German chocolate cake, wine(lots of wine) and a cranberry gelatin salad (that I discovered still in the refridgerator after dinner was over).

Gravy can be more than one thing in the US. My spouse has definite ideas on how to fix it as well.

There is the 'rue' which is a flour / oil (pan drippings/butter or what ever) kind where you mix the flour and oil base, brown it and add your liquid which may be water, milk, beef stock, vegetable stock and so on. This is cooked until smooth. Note your basic sauce is thus as well. Seasonings to taste.

Then there is my mother's method which is fast. She'll take the liquids from the meat cooking and add cornstarch disolved in cold water to the liquid to thicken.

Then there is red eye, which is a coffee ham juices mixture.

Cooking class is over.

Pat,

Thanks for thinking of me. My better half is frying up the third turkey as we speak. (He just called to see if I wanted it fried or baked!)

Grits are great too. I have them every weekend ala "Chef Rayban".

Leah,

If your spouse has the 'rue' thing down, he ought to be able to make a pretty good gumbo. Us 'cajuns' say a good 'rue' is the key to a great gumbo.

That's another dish Francis and company need to try if they havent' already. Gumnbo with potatoe salad. Now I'm getting hungry and this cold weather is perfect for gumbo.

Glenda,

I always associate gumbo with okra. Not a veggie we care for, but my mother-in-law fried it all the time.

Leah,

You don't have to put okra in gumbo. Omit the okra and add a little gumbo file powder (a little goes a long way). I sometimes omit the okra when I am having company that has an aversion to okra.

Yup, Boston has no problem with British ingredients but I'm not sure how it'll be South of the Mason Dixon line, it's a bit like 'North of Watford' down there Smiler

Ditto on the beers Music

Glenda,

Bisto is not a beer but is gravy like no other, and is probably loved by most Brits, ex pats or no (except veggies and vegans most likely Wink)

Being a frequent Texas vistor (north Dallas area) I can vouch for the beers although there are still a few that I would like to see there, even though you can now get Newcastle Brown!

I wasn't referring to the "bisto". I was referring to the "Ditto on the beers".

Red Face Which I admit I jumped to conclusions. Your ditto was in response to Francis's comment and not a slur on the beer down here.

My bad!
