  1. I bought "Cooking for Cher". It cost me 3.99 in a remainder bin. The recipes are actually O.K. So I'll nominate "The Sopranos Family Cook Book" which was a gift, and, well, just a piece of after market trash, but still there's a couple of recipes.... I have both of the "White Trash" author's cookbooks. I'm proud of them. Maybe the spiral bound "Mad About Cheddar"...

  2. I'm no expert on chocolates, but I am well versed in deadlines. What about just rolling the ganache in cocoa powder and dusting with gold or something flashy to get the wedding out of the way, and concentrate on the cracking problem at a later date?

  3. Wonderful post Derek, looks absolutely delicious.  We have a chip shop here that does a lovely deep fried haggis that's great for satisfying a craving.

    Yum. Where would this chip shop be located? I'd like to try their haggis. Do they make their own, or do they get it from the butcher who sells black puddin' and square sausage?

  4. Good  :wink: .  If you were still looking, I'd tell you that Shefa has good briskets.  Their store-front is Toronto Kosher on Bathurst.  But you're not still looking  :wink: .
    Why, yes....at Bathurst and Eglington....I think it's called Nortown Meats. I recently bought a brisket at Max and Sons in Kensington Market. I don't know if he's strictly Kosher these days or not.

    Thank you...I'll check them out too, I'm always scoping out new spots...

  5. Having just returned from a drive to Kenora, I would suggest a lunch at The Tulip Restaurant in the east end of Toronto. Since the racetrack left and they moved into bigger digs, they have lost a touch of the genuine white lipsticked, teased hair, smoke-while-you-eat-tow-truck-moll flavour, but they serve some genuine fare that includes meatloaf the size of your head.

    BTW, where would one partake of pickled pig's trotters and quarts of beer in T.O.? Probably nowhere I guess, but I'll keep hoping.

  6. because I would have thought that the head would have been useful for something.

    Head cheese. Quebecois recipe. You boil the head and remove the meat to make a potted jellied meat thingy.

    As for the cakes made into animals and kids eating them, when I was young, my aunt used to take me to this place where this old guy had people line up and he fed them these wafers, and they drank from this gold cup and she told me it was the flesh and blood of some guy. Now that can disturb a kid.

  7. Hmmm...Made oxtails a few weeks ago. Previously frozen incredible deal at the Meat o Rama. All I can say is: cast iron dutch oven, brown the meat, add the liquid and aromatics and slow,slow, low heat cooking covered in oven.

    Pig heads make head cheese. Snout on a plate scares me, no matter what the garnish.

  8. Aha! I will file this info for future attempts. There was an abandonned BBQ near my place this week, and I wanted to drag it in to collect the parts for a smoker, but the Significant Other nixed the idea. Oh well, I have a project already going, which is rendering 50 pounds of fatty beef trimmings for tallow (have a friend who works in a restaurant and it is not easy dragging a track bag full of beef fat up a long flight of stairs. I owe her more drinks than I bought her yesterday) Gonna make soap for Xmas presents. It's a frugal craft year, like all years.
