• 488 nasty was was nasty

    Goat meat might go okay on pizza, if one
    substituted halloumi (a very popular cheese
    in Australia for some reason) for the mozz.
    Sounds OK to me. I haven't had goat in a long time.

    It's too meh to seek out, unless you go to an
    Indian buffet ahd it just appears on your plate.

    Henessey? I was thinking more Guinness.
    Belle Gunness?
    One hopes not. Cereal killers maybe - someone has to get rid of the
    nasty Cheerios.

    Yesterday's airline breakfast was a choice of kale
    and egg white omelet or Rice Krispies. Not being
    thrilled by either choice, I told the steward that
    I'd take either, and what came was a monster bowl
    of that stuff, with yogurt and milk on the side.
    No marshmallows or even sugar. Could have killed me,
    thought it might have been one of those Orient Express
    situations.

    Not everyone has the buckaroos to go to culinary
    school. More often it's oh, I can cook, let's do
    it, and the results are variable, from hash-slingers
    to me to Danny Bowien.
    Some do really well, and some ... yeahwell. I don't mind the hash
    slingers as long as they're not trying to do the crazy stuff.

    I don't mind the crazy stuff just so long as it
    doesn't involve zucchini.

    The thing about the anabolic steroids is that
    these had weird mental as well as physical
    effects. Look at some of our football (and even
    baseball) stars for examples.
    Those things do some weird stuff, for certain. Good old steroids as prescribed for MS (voice of experience) do weird stuff too. One more
    reason to avoid them if possible.

    Oh, don't worry about that. I am very untrusting
    of such things.

    Thinking about those big old bats, speaking of sports.
    Even those. It's been tried.
    Speaking of bats, I just watched the Sox take Game Two of the
    series. Now those are some bats I liked.
    Beware. Sweeps are bad for business. Come from
    behinds are good for business.
    Winning in five wasn't bad either. I'm not about to argue with it!

    I really, really thought it would have to come back east,
    and that would have interfered with my doing likewise.

    Indian buffet is the only place I have ever had goat to eat. There were occasions in the past when we went to a Halal market to get goat for the caregiver of the piano teacher that Gail helped out. Gail does not like
    the idea of goat, even when I pick out a non boney piece to share with
    her. I like it because of the fairly flavorful gravy/sauce it is stewed
    in.

    I also am pretty much the same way with lamb, Indian buffet only. TTTT,
    If you gave me a blind taste test of goat, lamb and beef -- I might not
    be able to identify which was which. It's all red meat to me.

    Title: Russian Beef Borscht
    Categories: Beef, Soup
    Yield: 1 Servings

    1 lb Lean beef in 1/2 inch cubes
    1 Water
    1 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Black pepper
    3 lg Garlic cloves,minced
    4 c Coarsely shredded beets
    2 c Coarsely shredded carrots
    2 tb Dried parsley flakes
    1 ts Dill seed
    2 Bay leaves
    1 Fresh lemon juice
    2 cn Beef broth
    6 oz Tomato paste
    1/2 ts White pepper
    1 tb Vegetable oil
    2 lg Onions sliced (2 cups)
    4 c Coarsely shredded cabbage
    1 1/2 c Thinly sliced celery
    1 1/2 ts Dried dillweed
    1 ts Celery seed
    1 1/2 ts Sugar

    Add enough water to beef broth to make 12 cups liquid.
    Use 2 to 4 tablespoons of lemon juice or to taste.
    1. Brown beef quickly and transfer to a very large soup kettle.
    2. Add broth and water, tomato paste, salt, white and black pepper.
    Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
    3. In skillet, heat oil, add garlic and onions and saute 5 minutes.
    When meat is done, add to soup kettle with remaining ingredients.
    Bring back to boil, reduce heat, simmer uncovered for 45 minutes or
    until vegetables are tender. Discard bay leaves before serving.
    The flavor of this soup improves with reheating. This is a large
    recipe and leftovers can be frozen. Offer plain yogurt as a topping,
    unless this is to be a kosher meal, and serve with pumpernickel or
    rye bread or rolls.

    A little mild, I take it.

    They all had it in for you? Or just the entire flight crew?

    Some do really well, and some ... yeahwell. I don't mind the

    I don't mind the crazy stuff just so long as it
    doesn't involve zucchini.

    Very little good, other than zucchini bread or zucchini pancakes,
    involves zucchini. It's grated into disintegration and just mainly
    used as a liquid source.

    Those things do some weird stuff, for certain. Good old steroids
    as
    prescribed for MS (voice of experience) do weird stuff too. One

    Smart.

    Beware. Sweeps are bad for business. Come from
    behinds are good for business.
    Winning in five wasn't bad either. I'm not about to argue with
    it!

    I really, really thought it would have to come back east,
    and that would have interfered with my doing likewise.

    Some friends and I were hoping for a win in six, so they could do it
    at Fenway, but we'll take five. Five was OK too.

    Quoting Dale Shipp to Michael Loo <=-

    Indian buffet is the only place I have ever had goat to eat.
    I also am pretty much the same way with lamb, Indian buffet only.
    TTTT, If you gave me a blind taste test of goat, lamb and beef

    Kid is quite mild and rather veal-like. Old goat is ranker than old
    mutton. Avoid! I would buy both kid and lamb a lot more often if it
    wasn't so expensive.

    I remember ("Dutch Farmer") Bill Douma introducing people to both kid
    and lamb by serving hind leg roasts of both beside a veal rump roast
    and not identifying which were which but inviting everyone to taste
    a slice blind. Every one ended up liking everything despite saying
    ahead of time they didn't like lamb and were suspcicious about the
    very concept of goat. (The lamb was very young, milk fed, baby lamb
    that had never been weaned or pastured and so very mild in flavour.)

    I'm exploring ways to use my fennel and found thus lamb dish:

    Bash up the coriander and mint and mix with the yoghurt, garlic,
    and seasoning. Reserve half to use as a sauce once the lamb is
    cooked.

    Score the lamb pieces, season with the salt and pepper and mix
    with half the marinade and the chickpeas, so it is all coated.

    Transfer the marinade and lamb to a plastic bag and seal. Place in
    the refrigerator until required.

    To cook, place the meat directly on the oven shelf above the tray
    of vegetables for approximately 45 minutes.

    Place all the vegetables in a roasting tray, add the chickpeas,
    cumin, coriander seeds, nutmeg, sea salt, pepper, and olive oil
    and toss together.

    Cook in the preheated oven for 20 minutes then remove the foil and
    continue roasting for 20 to 30 minutes until the vegetables are
    tender and golden.
