It's already ground duck - I get it from online: Maple Leaf Farms Store

Ah. I was not aware that it was available. Thank you.

Autumn at the Bergstrasse …

 

 

Combining the necessary with the useful: a practice run for second Christmas day lunch while my in-laws are staying here.

Goose legs, cooked SV 18 h@70 oC, then crisped at 250 oC in the oven. Sauce made from the bag juices and Gänseklein (intestines, necks and other bits and pieces from the goose, available in 750g packs here locally). Red cabbage, with apples & raisins. Potato Knödel. 

 

 

Enjoyed with a Triple Hop (while the others had a Rioja or a glass of water, respectively).

 

 

And for digestif: Kümmel (caraway schnapps) …

 

 

No complaints.

I don't recall every seeing anyone melt cheese onto a half-shell oyster before.  I can't quite imagine those two textures marrying well together, but I'm more than up for giving it a try!

 

 

 

It's very common here, despite my strenuous efforts to get the practice outlawed. Utter waste of oysters.

Don't Oysters Rockefeller usually include a topping with romano cheese or some such thing? I like my oysters raw with as little fuss as possible. I've never been a fan of cheese with seafood. I don't grate hard cheese over linguini with clams. And when I make shrimp and grits I don't make cheesy grits, just plain. The only exception I make is when we eat crispy shrimp tacos at our favorite place for them. The cheese is minimal compared to the shrimp, salsa and pile of chopped lettuce so I just go with the flow.

I did it more than once, when I had access to good fresh oysters. I did it more than once because we liked it the first time! 😃

Depends on the cheese I suppose, but Drago's charbroiled oysters are the oyster presentation I have enjoyed above all others.

Probably our final run on the smoker for a bit as the weather is calling for cooler temps with possibly snow next week, so we'll start turning our thoughts to cooking more indoors or short runs on the bbq.  Tonight featured ribs on the smoker.  Ran for 8 hours at 225, spritzed every couple of hours and sauced with my homemade bbq sauce for the final hour.  Also, baked potatoes, not pictured, but I did make a couple of extras so I can make homefries tomorrow.  We did two racks, so one for leftovers, but only one pictured here.  

 

 

[Okanagancook]

Oh my goodness, those look delicious.  Were the ribs St. Louis Style ribs…I.e., fairly big….8 hours cooking…they must have been.

nice board by the way…I have the same one.

ty    The ribs I got from Costco, and yes they are big big ribs for baby back ribs.  

[Okanagancook]

I buy the St Louis ribs from Costco and they are big so it was probably them.  Back ribs are much smaller.  Nice just the same.

The were labelled as  back ribs though.  Not sure I've seen any in the Costco here labelled st louis but could be just labelling

Still? I know that the UK now requires all poultry to be kept indoors as a precaution against avian influenza and other infections. No such ruling from the EU?

Yes, still.

@TicTac – that fish sandwich looks fantastic. I’ve been craving fried fish for a couple of weeks.  What is that crispy looking thing just under the top of the bun?  It looks too thin to be another fish filet.

 

@Steve Irby – absolutely gorgeous oyster meal.  Talk to me about pecorino romano cheese on grilled oysters, please!  I am absolutely NOT an anti-cheese on fish person, but the only time I’ve had cheese (parmesan) on oysters it didn’t work at all.  It totally overwhelmed the sweetness of the oysters and added an odd saltiness to them.  Maybe they just used too much? 

 

We had Mr. Kim’s mom over for dinner Friday night.  The table:

 

I love setting a pretty table, but I’m pretty rusty at this multi-course entertaining business.  I really have a hard time getting into a rhythm.  And, as everyone knows, our kitchen is VERY small, so when Jessica comes in at the last minute to make her contribution and my MIL decides I’m not stirring my stir fry enough, I get a little crazed 🤪! 

 

Pre-dinner nibbles were cheese straws, corn nuts (from nuts.com – , and Smokehouse almonds. 

 

Boston lettuce with blood orange segments, marinated red onions, candied pecans, and a blood orange vinaigrette:

 

Monkfish with miso-mustard cream sauce on olive oil dressed watercress, stir fried snow peas and bean sprouts, and Jessica’s miso potatoes:

Everything turned out pretty well.  I think that the fish was slightly over cooked.  It seemed to jump up in the last minute.  But it all tasted great.  Jessica’s potatoes were excellent:

 

Dessert was caramel apple crème brûlée:

The top looks burnt, but it wasn’t.

God help us. I will eat raw oysters with the best of them, but a Drago’s chargrilled is a thing of beauty. I have been known to eat a dozen for an entree, another dozen for a main, and split a dozen fo dessert.

Cheesy oysters in Guangzhou (Canton) 2016. Deeply unpleasant.
