The Round Table cookbook

[Fjolnirsson]

So, way back in the days of old, The Round Table was a sub-forum at THR. There was a thread where everyone posted favorite recipes, and the intention was to have them bound in a spiral notebook and provided at cost to whomever wanted one. Well, when the forum was closed, the information was saved to someone's hard drive, which subsequently crashed, and the recipes were gone forever.

Shall we give it another try?

[Gewehr98]

Sure.

My possum recipe:

Find a 12" x 24" pine board. Marinate the board in Worcestershire sauce, dates, and beer. (any brand will do but Schlitz is the preferred brand for possum connoisseurs) Drill several holes in pine board and stuff with mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, 3 cloves of garlic and let ingredients sit overnight in refrigerator. Prepare one possum, (fresh is desired but road kill will work as well) by skinning and gutting the possum. Place onto pine board and roast for 10-12 hours or until possum is black and crispy. Now take possum off board and throw the carcass away. Slice the pine board into 4" x 4" squares and serve as a dessert entree' with your favorite meal.

Looks like you're ripping off Paula Deen's "All I eat is Butter, Baby!" cookbook

Subconsciously, I suppose. After all, most everything's better with butter. Or chocolate syrup.

French Cuisine?

French Cuisine?

Can't be. He didn't mention cooking with and serving with wine.

Obviously southern cooking.

Edit: Nope, I'm wrong. Southern cooking would involve corn bread.

Why could one bale hay all day, then eat a whole chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy and biscuits while drinking a 12 pack of beer like it was nothing?

Then repeat the next day.

[Fjolnirsson]

Wow. You guys are like caffeinated squirrels. No attention span whatsoever. Somebody pass out some Ritalin...

Best meals I've ever had in my life was back in high school, bucking hay bales for various farmers around town.  Those farmers' wives work hard to keep those reputations.  And by reputations, I mean as fantastic cooks that serve it and keep the table full until everybody is stuffed.

One thing I've never quite grokked is the differences in BBQ around the U.S. of A.

There's wet, dry, vinegar, sweet, you name it.

South Carolina, Texas, Missouri, Florida - pretty darned confusing.

I had a few favorites in Florida, Charlie & Jake's, Sonny's, etc.

Charlie & Jake's did pulled pork sandwiches, with meat smoked in an out-building, and served "dry", but you had a couple different squeeze bottles of sauce at the table.

Sonny's did theirs dry, too.  The beef brisket was nice, with a red smoke ring under the bark.

My favorite, however, was Rudy's in Texas.  That dry-rub, oak-fire beef brisket was amazing, so I'll wager that's what they define as Texas BBQ?

Might not be lost forever...

Potato Cream Cheese Soup

2 regular potatos or one large baking potato, cubed
1 large can or three cups chicken broth, plus enough water to make a quart, total
1 block (8 oz) regular cream cheese, room temp and cubed sliced
1/4 c dried onion (flaked or diced)
1 T thyme
1 t garlic powder
2 T butter, room temp
1/4 loaf SPAM or 1/4 lb ham, cubed very small

Cube and boil potatos until soft.  Drain.  Add broth and water.  Mash to desired consitency.  Add dried onion, thyme, and garlic powder.  Bring to a boil.  Add cubed meat and cream cheese.  Stir until cheese has incorporated.  Add butter and stir until incorporated.  Simmer for 2-3 more minutes then remove from heat.  Will thicken slightly as it cools.

You can also make this with leftover baked potatos (I get a bunch of leftover BPs from my brother's restaurant).  I suppose you could also add things like grated carrot or diced celery, too.

Guys...

If any of the ingredients come from a CAN, it's not a real recipe. Not even if the can is cream of mushroom soup (especially if it's this). Eeewww.

He didn't mention frying anything, either.

You can say, "I'm having barbecued (beef, chicken, whatever).", but if you say, "I'm having barbecue", you're eating pork.

Nothing against barbecued beef, chicken, or others, mind you. I'm just making sure the discourse uses the proper terms. :)

By "Sonny's" do you mean the chain restaurants? If so, feh.

Come to Atlanta and I'll take you to Harold's, or Dean's in Jonesboro, or Melear's in Fayetteville, for some real Southern barbecue.

[Iain]

Nothing against barbecued bee,

That does it.

You guys are as bad as the French.

Okay, I'm trying this as soon as I get home. Will report.

Bee stingers give it that extra kick.
