Soul food
Wonder how many sourdoughs we have amongst the crew here?
Division of labor in this camp is that I do the sourdough stuff, the boss does most everything else. My contribution to "debate night dinner" was the biscuits: Girl did an "autumn soup" and we put 'em together: Dessert was said biscuit with a dollop of strawberry freezer jam.
The girl had to leave the room while the debate was still going on. I'm pretty sure it was the politics, and not the dinner.

Re: Soul food
When you said "soul food", I was expecting watermelon or some greasy chicken. That looks good to me Earl. Slap some pure butter on those babies and send me a few.

My sentiments EXACTLY !
To me soul food means what the older black folks cooked "back in the day" (as the younger black folks now say).

Re: Soul food
Fried pork chops, mashed potatoes, purple hull peas and turnip greens. That's soul food.
Those biscuits sure look good though

Re: Soul food
I used to frequent "Soul by the Pound" in downtown Chicago back in the '80's. Great cohn braid, unusual veggies, but I never touched the chitlins...they smelled just like the creek around the local sewer pipe.
Out here in Hispanoland they have "menudo" and some people are crazy for it, never tried that either.

Re: Soul food
"menudo" was one of Fred Sanford.'s favorite soul foods I do believe.
I have not tasted menudo or chitlins.
I bet everyone knows Fred Sanford.

A good menudo is delicious. Cow tripe, white hominy, onion and spices. Or, there's white (broth) menudo, too. I don't care for stewed chitlins, but WILL eat my share of fried ones. Reminds me of chewier calamari, LOL.

Re: Soul food
Absolutely! I remember on a trip home from VN, a friend & I imbibed a lot on the last leg of our trip, Honolulu to LA. He invited my wife & I over to dinner on Sat. nite. We showed up, two whitebreads in a dark neighborhood... if you take my meaning. His wife answered the door, saw us standing there and yelled over her shoulder, "SAM, DID YOU FORGET TO TELL ME SOMETHING?"Alphawolf45 wrote:I agree with all that...Really like the menudo...I think it comical how some folks swear off foods they havent even tried...Thats okay,people is funny....dang.......The picture of them biscuits is making me hOngry.pneuby wrote:A good menudo is delicious.

She invited us in, and said, "... we have enough, but we're having 'Soul Food'."
I calmly said, "...fine, I've never had any, what is it?"
She said, "... we're having ham hocks, black-eyed peas, corn bread, collared greens."
Sounded just like what my grandma fixed us when I was grownin' up! Wife bein' raised in Naw 'rLeans also felt right at home! Good eats.
Love white broth menudo. The red, not so much... but man, will it fill ya up. Y'all probably don't like "bait" either? Sushi, good for ya, if it don't kill ya!
Different ethnic foods can be a rewarding experience. But... y'all can keep balut! Even 3 sheets to the wind, that took my breath away! NEVER to be repeated.

My lady firnds family in the Philippines love that , but I gotta say it ain't for me !
Same can be said for the Durian Fruit in the Philippines !
I remmember sitting beside a pinoy on the flight over in 2008 and him telling me to try Durian . He said it is a wonderfull fruit , it taste like heaven and smeels like POOH ! I tried the Durian once or twice and that ain't for me either .

Re: Soul food
Here in the islands raw fish, and shellfish is the accepted way to eat fresh seafood. A couple things that even some mainlanders may find unappetizing is raw beef liver dish called "Aki" which is fresh raw liver chopped into bite size pieces with chopped seaweed and salt added. Prepared properly I love the stuff, a tad funky if not. Trick is soak the liver overnight in milk. Another island favorite is "Na'au" which is basically pork intestines (chitlins) cut up, marinated, and cooked over the fire (pulehu). The main thing is clean it out real good by running water through it for several minutes. Some even soak over night in a water and baking soda liquid to absorb some of the funkiness. I don't mind a little funkiness, it adds to the experience. I love the red Mexican style menudo as well beef tripe stew another island favorite. The only thing I absolutely refuse to touch is blood of any kind whether it be blood sausage or Filipino Dinuguan, blood dishes disgusts and repulses me.

Re: Soul food
Earl, your sourdough biscuits are soul food to me. I've got to get a starter going. Around our house, soul food is shorthand for such things as browned beef in gravy over mashed potatoes with peas --from back in the days of grade-school cafeterias, where you could buy a half pint of whole milk for three cents.
Re: Soul food
Ji next time you are in Texas, There is a cool taco place on the rough side of San Antone that makes a dish called Morcilla con Toriados (blood sausage with grilled jalepenos on a ho-made flour tortilla). This stuff is so good you will bite yourself for not having tried it earlier.

Re: Soul food
I've had a few blood sausages in a pub, and had Dinuguan a few times. Don't dislike either, but they didn't inspire me, neither.
Yes, there's a reason for the Kosher and Halal methods that drain the blood.

It is good soup,white or red, I like it with plenty of cilantro chopped fine and a good squirt of fresh lime juice with plenty of bolillio bread on the side. French or Italian bread works to
Tripe, white mexican hominy, onion, garlic, salt and some good marrow bones from the lower legs will do it for the white version and just add red chile to make it red.
My Grandfather and all the ole cowboys on the border called it- sorry so-and-so.
Friends from the North called it Mc noodle and friends who wouldn't try it called it cow guts and corn.
