• Czech goulash

    From JIM WELLER@1:135/392 to DALE SHIPP on Sun Dec 5 20:10:00 2021

    Quoting Dale Shipp to Dave Drum <=-

    I am not at all sure why this is "Czechoslovakian" versus any other
    sort of goulash.

    Cesky gulas or Czech goulash is very much like Hungarian gulyas
    (goulash) except that it gets a generous amount of marjoram added to
    it and is usually served with sliced boiled bread dumplings instead
    of egg noodles.

    Bread dumplings are merely fist sized lumps of yeast leavened bread
    dough boiled like dumplings. They swell up to softball sized and
    get sliced before serving. A single dumpling is a massive serving.

    Title: CZECHOSLOVAKIAN GOULASH

    1 md Size can V-8 vegetable Juice

    That makes it American!

    3 Carrots, chopped
    1/2 Head cabbage, chopped
    Chili powder

    These make it Not Gulyas! Massive amounts of paprika are called for.

    Ketchup
    Worcestershire sauce

    American again.

    looks decent IF you like cooked cabbage.

    I do and the recipe sounds good; it just needs a new name.

    I'm still researching Yorkshire things. And kippers are or at least
    were a major traditional breakfast item there

    Title: Kippers and Scrambled Egg Breakfast
    Categories: Eggs, British, Breakfast, Smoked, Herring
    Yield: 2 Servings

    2 Kippered herrings
    4 Eggs
    1 ts Fresh lemon juice
    1 tb Butter
    Fresh ground black pepper

    To kipper means to cure fish by cleaning, salting and drying or
    lightly smoking. When a herring is kippered it is first
    butterflied, cured in brine and cold smoked. It has a smokey,
    salty flavor.

    Heat the kippers gently in a fry pan or in a baking dish in the
    oven. Season them with lemon juice, pepper and melted butter over
    all.

    Or place kippers on a broiler rack lined with aluminum foil. Dot
    each fish with butter and sprinkle with lemon juice. Broil fish 5
    minutes on each side until skin is crisp and golden brown.

    Carefully remove the backbone and optionally peal away the skin.

    Scramble the eggs, seasoning to taste. Serve the scrambled eggs
    with kippers on the side. Serve with toast.

    Yorkshire Wensleydale or simply Wensleydale is a historic mild cheese
    that has been made in Wensleydale, North Yorkshire since 1150 by
    Cistercian monks. These monks continued to make the cheese until the dissolution of their monasteries in 1540. Traditionally the cheese was
    made using sheep's milk. The art of making the cheese was passed by the
    monks to the farmer's wives who produced a blue variety of Wensleydale
    at their farmhouses. Today, Wensleydale is produced mainly from
    pasteurised cow's milk and sheep's milk to enhance the flavour.

    Parkin is also known as ....

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Yorkshire Parkin (Oatmeal Gingerbread)
    Categories: Breads, Grains, Fruits
    Yield: 2 Loaves

    1 1/2 c (8 oz) medium oatmeal (this
    - means ground oatmeal, not
    - rolled oats)
    1 1/2 c (8 oz) whole-wheat flour
    2 ts Baking powder
    1 ts Ground ginger
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 c (4 oz) apple sauce
    1 1/2 c (8 oz) brown sugar
    1/3 c (5 oz) black treacle (a kind
    - of molasses)
    1/3 c (4 oz) golden syrup; You
    - could substitute molasses
    - for both of these, I guess
    1 Egg white; lightly beaten
    1/2 c (4 fl oz) milk

    Parkin is a variety of gingerbread, good warming stuff to
    eat out of doors in cold weather. When I was a child, it
    was always a firm favourite for the firework party on
    Bonfire Night each year. This is adapted from my mother's
    recipe.

    Prepare 2 1-lb loaf tins, or an 9x9 inch square tin, by
    spraying with Pam. Set the oven 350ºF/175ºC/gas mark 4.

    In a large bowl, mix together the oatmeal, flour, baking
    powder, ginger, and salt. In a small bowl or saucepan, mix
    together the apple sauce, sugar, treacle, syrup, and milk,
    and warm slightly to dissolve the sugar. Add these to the
    oatmeal mixture along with the egg white, and mix together
    to make a soft mixture of a slow-pouring consistency,
    adding extra milk if necessary. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or
    until the top springs back when pressed lightly with a
    finger.

    After it has cooled a bit, but before it gets cold, cut it
    into 2-inch squares in the tin. Cool the pieces on a wire
    rack, and store them in an airtight container.

    It tastes better if stored for 2-3 days before eating.

    Hi Nigel

    I'm still researching Yorkshire things.

    Have you come across Yorkshire puddings yet?

    I grew up with them as a regular thing. My paternal grandparents
    were first generation Canadian with Yorkshire born parents. And my
    other grandfather was from Cornwall, and so familiar with them too.
    My wife is French Canadian but an English girl lived with her family
    for a year when she was a kid and so her family learned about them
    too and made them often.

    Rhubarb in some form like a crumble possibly with custard?

    I am fond of tart rhubarb sauce as a side dish or relish for meat
    but also like it in pies, cobblers, crumbles and crisps.

    Wensleydale cheese.

    I have not tasted it, just read about it. I saw some recently in the
    imported cheese aisle of my regular supermarket but it was $55 per kg
    so I gave it a pass.

    Parkin?

    I've made it once but generally make by gingerbread cakes and
    cookies with white (wheat) flour.

    I'll be posting some recipes for baked goods once I've slogged
    through the fish and meat and poultry ones in my export queue.

    Arnold Bennett was from the Midlands and Liverpool is in the west
    Midlands but this looks like it could be popular in Yorkshire as
    they are fond of smoked haddock and hardy breakfasts there as well.

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Omelet Arnold Bennett
    Categories: Breakfast, Smoked, Fish, Eggs, British
    Yield: 2 servings

    6 lg Eggs (the fresher
    -the better)
    6 oz Smoked haddock
    -(or other smoked large-
    -flaked white fish)
    2/3 c Cream, heavy
    Butter
    2 oz Cheddar (sharp),
    -finely grated (the
    -light yellow New York/
    -Vermont style is best)
    1 pn Dill
    1 pn Salt and pepper

    Prepare the fish by poaching it lightly (5 minutes) and then
    breaking it up into nice large flakes.

    Whip the cream and fold in the grated cheese. Add the fish and
    set aside. (The remaining steps are a basic omelet recipe and can
    be used with any filling. Crack the eggs, beat them up with the
    dill, salt and pepper.)

    Meanwhile heat a frying pan. Add a knob of butter and let it
    melt. When it has stopped frothing and is just beginning to go
    brown...

    Slop in half the egg mixture and immediately return to the heat
    and stir the eggs two or three times; then with a fork draw the
    edges into the middle and allow the un-solidified egg to run onto
    the exposed pan.

    While it is still a mixture of fluffy and runny, add the haddock
    and cream mixture. Continue to cook until underside begins to
    turn golden brown. Fold over and serve on a hot plate with bread
    and butter immediately. (You can't leave it in the oven for ten
    minutes while you do another!)

    I came upon it in the Bistro under the Everyman Theatre in
    Liverpool, circa 1978. The following is my reconstruction of the
    dish I had there.

    Wensleydale is a cheese make, originally, in the Wensleydale area of
    Yorkshire. It's got a creamy texture and is usually has cranberries or
    other fruit in it.

    Parkin is like a dryish oatmeal and tracle gingerbread cake, often a
    staple during the winter.
