Dinner 2016 (Part 11)

[Anna N]

Only on eG  could one consider French Catfish Pie Soup on New Year's Day.  

[TicTac]

To each their own!  As long as you enjoy it!

 

Another good rendition of Latkas (aside from the regular potato/onion combo) is Potato/zuccini - very nice as well.

Made an eggplant and zucchini lasagna before leaving for work this morning.

 

Good god!  Do you get out of bed at 3am??

 

Beautiful as usual.

A traybake as the Brits like to call them. Potatoes and kielbasa roasted on a quarter sheet pan.

Well, I'm British and have been for a very long time, but I never heard of a "traybake" until now.

 

But what do I know? Mr Google has several tray bakes, some identifiably British. But every definition I can see say it is a sweet dish.

Today I made a big pot of Ham & Bean Soup and a batch of Cornbread to get us through tonight, with plenty of leftovers for tomorrow.

Nothing bad about sour cream or creme fraiche with fried or roasted potatoes, but if you are serving a brisket with your latkes you most likely wouldn't do dairy with that, you would do applesauce. That's always been my own preference: home made applesauce with a squeeze of lemon and a dusting of cinnamon. If I'm serving potato pancakes with a vegetarian meal, I might serve both apple sauce and a dairy topping on the side. 

 

For New Years Day tomorrow I'm going French Hanukah by way of the Carolinas: Duck fat roasted potatoes with a side of apples sautéed in butter and a drizzle of Steen's cane syrup. And I will make some simple vegetable potage, just because I have some chard and misc vegetables rolling around the crisper and a quart of turkey stock in the freezer. So that would be French Catfish Pie Soup.

 

But then, I've always contended my latkes were "Methodist latkes" because I fry them in bacon fat...

 Oh ye of little faith.   There is a little more British than the BBC. Click

Hmmm.

Looks good whatever you call it.

(BTW, the BBC website gets more Americanised every day.)

I don't recall hearing the term 'traybake' in this context when I lived in England - perhaps it tends to be regional? I was mostly nearish London. However, whatever you call it, that looks delicious and I am going to make a note to try it next time I find the good kielbasa in the store, as I am all in favor of limited mess meals for busy days. I think I'd probably start the potatoes first, then add the sausage assuming it is pre-cooked? Roast potatoes always seem to take forever for me.

[Anna N]

I suspect the term is recent rather than regional. The equivalent North American term at least for the savoury version is sheet pan dinner/supper.

Could be. The Oxford English Dictionary doesn't list it.
