Not even vaguely gourmet....

[CreamyGoodness]

The sweetest older Columbian lady at the little restaurant across from my old apartment told me that she could eat the crunchy rice from the bottom of the pot with a fried egg 3 times a day. Have yet to try it, but I'm going to have to some day.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Where did you get it from you dont find that too far outside of the NC mountains?

Found a recipe online and decided to give it a go. I think I wound up using regular cornmeal rather than grits, but the problem was a flavor one rather than a textural one. Maybe my supermarket just packs substandard liver... (btw, I forget the ingredients in the recipe, so any number of things could have gone wrong).

Smoked fatty. (A whole Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage log cooked on a smoker in one piece. Stuffing and/or wrapping with cheese, onions, more meat, bacon, etc is optional.)

- "Lumpia". These are shredded daikon, carrot, and bean sprout, fried egg rolls. Serve with a mix of soy sauce and hoisin.
- Curry puff. Curried mashed potatoes, peas, maybe some ground beef, and diced carrot. Wrap in egg roll wrappers into a pyramid pocket and deep fry. It kind of like curried shepherd pie. Red dot indians call them samosa.

You didn't just mix liver and cornmeal did you? I can't see you finding everything you need in NY very easy.

If its homemade you need to bake it. Store bought fry it with butter.

I might mail you some its leftovers so its cheap anyway.

Wife tells me shes made some Shepherd pie using the remains of my bottle of old overholt rye (half a pint maybe) whiskey and rye stout as the liquid base.

Damn this is going to be GOOD!

You've a recipe for this?

I've tried and tried to make this, but it seems if you're not Filipino it don't turn out. Same with pancit.

Dammit, now I'm hungry for lumpia and pancit.

Our asian market has prepackaged daikon and carrot mix. We just add the bean sprouts and use a familiar brand of pre-made wrappers. The key, I think, it to get the oil at the right temp. Too hot and you just burn them up. Too cool and they become oil bombs. We've just made so many we learned what setting to use on the cooktop. And we always use an iron skillet.

The sauce is just equal parts Kikomen and Hoisin.

Gosh I have no memory really. Just remember chilling it overnight in the loaf pan, cutting a nice slice, frying in some butter and taking a very disappointing bite.

You're too kind btw. I might take you up on that some day!

Mac N Cheese, Tuna and Peas.

Made once while backpacking with a friend and is now a family favorite (except my little one who doesn't like it with peas...)

I prefer the shells and cheese myself, but use what you got.

 

[BrewerBear]

1 medium onion
1 or 2 potatoes
1 stick butter
1 package bratts
1 bottle beer

Melt butter in pan,cut up onion and potato and put in with the butter,place bratts in the pan and pour in the beer.Bring to a boil then turn down to simmer with the lid on for about an hour,or until the liquid thickens like a gravy.

Oh, and pancit what? Pancit is the adjective needing a noun. Equivalent to the word is "Fast Food" or "easy to cook". Can be noodles, rice, etc..

Sorry. Pancit bihon.

The Filipina's here just call it pancit.

For breakfast take an avocado cut in half, remove seed, crack an egg into each hole ...bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes until white is set and yolk is still runny. Top with cheddar and cook just to melt. Serve with toast and bacon

I used to do something similar to this with mac n cheese, can of tuna fish, can of cream of mushroom soup and a little milk or water to thin it out a little bit. I did add frozen peas on occasion.

So something similar with bread in a frying pan with butter
Cut hole in bread with a small glass and drop egg in hole and frying up like grilled cheese

Egg in a hole !

Chili cheese fries with diced onions. Oooooh yeah.

Works good with country style ribs also.

One of my faves... Ramen noodles cooked in water, drained, add the juice of one lime, some chili sauce and the seasoning packet. Yum!

That actually sounds intriguing, may have to try that.

 

[Thunder_Chicken]

Cooked elbow macaroni, cubed Velveeta "cheese", cooked and crumbled ground beef. Mix in caserole dish, bake at 350F until top is bubbly and carmelized. So bad, yet so good. Haven't had it in years though.

My favorite salt-laden grease bomb is the Jersey equivalent of a fried bologna and cheese on a buttered and toasted kaiser - known in Jersey as a Pork Roll with Cheese. Toss a fried egg on there and its called a heart-stopper. Picture here: http://www.jerseybites.com/2010/12/breakfast-state/pork-roll-egg-and-cheese/

Taylor pork roll FTW! A fried slice of that with a fried egg and orange cheese on an English muffin. My heart fibrillates at the mere thought!

This was a quick lunch Saturday before going fishing. I have to say I was pleased and it kind of reminded me of when I was in Korea and had Bibim.

Frito pie. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's a pile of Fritos corn chips drowned in chili with melted cheese on top. If you want to get fancy, add some diced onions on top.

You already got fancy when you said 'pile of Fritos'. I've only had Frito Pie in the little bag.

A couple of regional favs:
Tomato sandwich. I'll admit to 'fancying' it up with homebaked bread. I can't/won't eat grocery store bread.

Pimiento cheese! There are lots of fancy versions, but can't beat duke's mayo, orange cheddar, and those little jars of pimiento.

Frito Pie..... Fritos, Hormel Chili (No Beans, you commie!) and enough shredded cheddar and chopped onions to choke Oprah and you're in business.

Me likes that on a warm everything bagel. I enjoyed a couple on my visit to northern NJ this weekend. Taylor ham seems to be spreading, I can now find it in central NY where as I couldn't a few years ago.

I'll throw in an old standby that I haven't made in ages, quick chicken pot pie: pilsbury crust, can of cream of chicken soup, can of mixed veggies, some cooked chicken breast, bake and them eat that bad boy

 

[kh54s10]

Sometimes I do up a whole package of Bacon!!!!

Haha but how long would it take to shred THAT much cheese and onions?

I do this too. Sometimes I'll add lime juice, sriracha, jalapenos and cilantro to the broth and try to convince myself I'm eating really crappy pho.

I also eat goetta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goetta). Basically it's all the leftover parts of the pig cooked up with steel-cut oats for filler. I'll put that in grilled cheese sandwiches, breakfast burritos...all sorts of greasy and unholy creations.
