I've got to see the Bolognese just to watch my girlfriend's head explode when you don't get it JUST RIGHT! Edit: Why are you using canned cabbage? Fresh Napa should be available pretty much anywhere in the states and will have a much less sloppy texture, plus it's gotta be cheaper. Edit 2: Some of the cabbage hate is forgiven, since you used some Frank Black (plus it's a cover of an Elvis song for bonus points).

I would understand the canned cabbage hate if he was outright eating the cabbage but he was turning it into a slurry with the shrimp, I can't imagine that it would have made that much of a difference. And I'm gonna vote beef stew because I want beef stew now...

I think canned cabbage is so bad because you can get them fresh all year anywhere. They're a year-round vegetable. There's no reason to eat canned cabbage unless you're on a submarine or something.

This was my main source of confusion, cabbage is nearly always available fresh -- I wouldn't even think to look for it in a can.

I didn't want to buy a whole cabbage for basically what amounted to a spoonful. Produce is pretty perishable and I have a thing about trying not to waste food.

I get that. Everyone should know, though, cabbage is a surprisingly versatile vegetable. You can eat it raw or cook it to death and it will be pretty good either way or any way in between. It's particularly good in stir fry. I say surprising because in my family the tradition is to boil anything remotely vegetable until it's bitter mush. I didn't realize things like cabbage or spinach or broccoli could have a texture other than slime. I used to even turn down cooked carrots because I thought cooking meant liquifying. If you have a similar history with vegetables, you should give cabbage (and really everything leafy and green) another try.

I can get not wanting to waste a whole head for a teaspoon, but for other people attempting this, I'd stress trying to buy a small head of cabbage. It's as Argle said, a very versatile vegetable, and if you shred it raw, mix it with a little hot sauce, vinegar and oil (salt and pepper to taste, of course) it makes a killer topping to any fish tacos. And yes, will knock out in a stir fry. I guess I'm just used to trying to use up what I have in the fridge from having a poor people complex  so I forget some people aren't trying to constantly figure out how to use that last piece of sausage with spring onions that are on the edge or whatever.

But Mico, if you bought a whole head of cabbage you could've given us a bonus recipe for coleslaw. After all, cooking is all about making extra work for yourself in a desperate attempt to make use of all your perishables at once, right? But coleslaw is easy to make and a delicious side dish. Probably my favorite cabbage-related food. Goes great with chickencheese EDIT: vvv

Sub mayo for a little olive oil, only a little sugar, heavy on the vinegar and spices. Add lots of other veggies (I like carrot, raw zucchini and radish if I'm feeling frisky) as well as lemon juice. Let it marinate for at least an hour. Not in any way traditional, but I think it works well. Honestly it's the creamy texture that I think puts most people off. Oh, and hot sauce works really well in this combo, specifically Chipotle Cholula.

Beef Stew There's a very tasty Finnish regional meat stew recipe, called Karelian Hot Pot. That's pretty much the only stew I've ever made - will be interesting to see what stew means elsewhere.

Ooooh you should make hot pot I think in Japan it's called shabu shabu. What you do is you make some really spicy chili soup with beef stock and lots of beef fat, then you put it on the table over a portable burner or a hotplate in Americaland, and you toss raw food into it. Cooked food comes out! Amazing! Also you give people a pile of condiments and they make their own sauce so the guy from Arkansas can just smother everything in ketchup while you have a sesame garlic dip. You need friends and it takes 90 minutes to eat and beer is pretty much mandatory.

And maybe some onions or apples if you really want to modify the taste.

I worked at a restaurant that sold premade slaw kinda like that. No one working with me liked it, but the customers liked it because it was super runny. Boss said that attempts to make the slaw fresh made people upset, because it didn't flow like a goddamn river. No, what tonberrytoby said. Caraway and bacon make for excellent slaw.

I've never had cole slaw that wasn't half or more mayo and it wasn't until now that I realized cole slaw could be remotely good and not just a weird and gross excuse for people to eat pretty much straight mayo.

   Meatloaf Adapted from the Good Eats meatloaf recipe (and also sized down because holy poo poo Alton Brown wants me to make HOW many pounds of meatloaf????) 1 and 1/4 lb ground beef 1 chopped shallot 1/2 cup breadcrumbs 1/2 tsp cayenne 1/2 tsp pepper A sprinkle of crushed red pepper 1 and 1/2 tsp salt 1 egg 1 tsp chili powder Some BBQ Sauce (Optional) Soy Sauce or Honey The instructions couldn't be simpler, really. Prehead the oven to 400° F Take all the poo poo and mix it together in a big bowl Slap that meat mixture into a pyrex and form it into a meatloaf shape Cover with the BBQ sauce as a glaze. If you like, you can mix the BBQ sauce with Soy Sauce or Honey. Use a barbecue brush to spread the sauce around and get it nice and even. Bake for 45 minutes. --- Soundtrack Chinese Man - I've Got That Tune Yo La Tengo - Here to Fall --- Voting: No voting this time, I have a special halloween episode cooked up. Haha, cooked up. Voting resumes with the next episode. Mico fucked around with this message at 11:12 on Oct 13, 2013 |
