    Perhaps the laws were written to excuse picklers
    and briners, with less scrupulous butchers taking
    advantage of the statutes to add water for water's
    sake.
    Entirely possible. Did you ever read Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle"? That
    book was the catalyst for establishing the FDA. A lot has improved since
    then but there are probably some things that still slip under the wire.

    No, I did a meta-read if you will - I read about Mr.
    Sinclair and his work but found the writing itself
    kind of unpleasant so never actually finished a work
    of his.

    He missed it terribly.
    As would any of us who consume it regularly.
    Quite likely.
    Some would miss it more than others.
    That's the way sauces are meant to be used.
    Should, but some people like to drown meat and suchlike in them.
    I've seen presentations that looked more like
    soup than like roast.
    Take your choice--soup or roast. (G)

    I kind of like gravy but tend to eat it by itself.

    Since this one is based on green tomatoes, there's no meat in
    it. > ML> One could still put suet or lard in.
    I put in just a bit of regular beef fat.
    The sensible route.
    That was my thought.

    Sauce gribiche
    It works here.
    It's sort of a classier tartar.
    Mayo and pickle relish work well in a pinch. That was the tartar sauce I
    grew up with for fish sticks, (G)

    I read "fish sucks," language that of course you'd
    never use but which would be an apt description for
    something I tasted recently that I might or might
    not describe here in a future post.

    Fish Sauce
    categories: KfP, ingredient
    yield: 1 batch

    Fish bones and heads, washed
    1 potato, peeled and sliced (optional)
    2 onions, sliced
    1 ts salt, more as desired
    3 carrots, whole or sliced
    sugar (optional)

    Place all ingredients in a large pot and fill
    one-third to one-half full of water. There
    should be enough water to cover the fish to
    be added later. Bring to a boil.

    Hi Michael,

    and briners, with less scrupulous butchers taking
    advantage of the statutes to add water for water's

    No, I did a meta-read if you will - I read about Mr.
    Sinclair and his work but found the writing itself
    kind of unpleasant so never actually finished a work
    of his.

    "The Jungle" was the only one of his books I ever read, never read that
    much about Sinclair either.

    Should, but some people like to drown meat and suchlike in
    them. > ML> I've seen presentations that looked more like
    soup than like roast.

    I kind of like gravy but tend to eat it by itself.

    I'll take it in reasonable amounts. Depending on the meat, I'll put some
    gravy on it and just about always on mashed potatoes if available. I've
    had mixed success in making it so if he's not bussy otherwise, I'll ask
    Steve to make it. (G)

    Post it if you dare (G), see if we agree or disagree with you. We've had
    some not so great catfish so usually avoid that; OTOH, flounder is
    usually pretty good.
