We sort of think of this as pickled eggs dyed red.

Bill German good stuff

Oh yes indeed....you have some *great* food heritage...we love german
eats.

When we lived in KC, we found one authentic german eatery, hole in the
wall that opened into Munich, authentic german proprietors, best
schnitzel ala holstein and fried cabbage I ever had......second best
food in town......gates bbq was first. ;-)

My heritage, scots, gives us haggis.......need I say more. But, we
also contribute Glenlivet.......

Charlie, who has a pig butt on the smoker as we speak...pulled pork
sammies for the youngsters tomorrow.

Sounds tasty. I did a big batch of braised chicken drumsticks today,
(they were on sale for $.99 per lb. for an 8 lb. bag) and a hyooge pot
of black rice cooked in pork and veggie stock.

Most of the time, I cook my steak rare. ;-d

Seared on the outside, chilled, and served in a salad.
A creative way to serve steak leftovers!

Try marinading the thinly cut beef in vinaigrette for an hour or two, or
over night. Serve with cold leeks or asparagus cut into 1" to 2"
lengths, and French bread. Bread, cheese, and red wine, afterwards.

Ooh, sounds yummy! I often use a vinaigrette marinade for grilled
chicken over a wood fire. Marinating the asparagus prior to grilling
works too. I have one of those veggie grill thingies for the wood grill.

Hm. Carp is considered a trash fish here. I may have to re-assess that,
thanks!


You should, at least once. Folks most places consider them trashfish.



I'm wondering if there is a fillet technique for them.

Fixing carp is easy. Get a large pot. Fill with water, put a half dozen or
so rocks on the bottom. Bring to boil. Add 1 large or several small carp.
Cut up as needed so they fit in pot. Add salt and pepper, not too much. Boil
for about 20 minutes - fish tend to cook fast. Discard carp, remove and eat
rocks.

Can you fillet them?

Nope. After you cut off the heads and tails and fins and gut 'em, use
a pair of pliers (catfish skinning pliars work well) and pull the skin
off. Not tearing of chunks of meat is a good idea. ;-) After you
score them, and score them deep, both sides...cut them in 4-5 in
chunks...the tail piece is the best, IMO.

Ah nevermind. I missed reading this the first time...
Sounds a lot like preparing catfish except those are not scored.

Yep. It is pretty quick after you get the hang of it.

BTW....if so inclined, both the roe sacs (female) and milt sacs (male)
are good eating...awfully rich, in particular the carp nuts. We
hillbillys like our oysters of any sorts. ;-)

Charlie

I've eaten roe sacks but have not tried milt sacks.

For tinnitus, try running a fan at night.
Works well for me.

I have trouble sleeping without one now. ;-)

Glad to know we aren't the only ones like this. Fan always at night.
When we travel we must carry a fan. Winter and summer. Night silence
is....unnerving. ;-)

I've met others like this too.
When I went hunting last month, the dead silence out on the prairie
(except for the occasional screech of the barn owls in the old shed next
to the trailer) made it so I could not sleep. I bought a small fan at
wal-mart post-haste!

yeah yeah yeah.....similar to the old put a carp on a cedar plank and
bake for thirty minutes then toss the carp and eat the plank. ;-)

Seriously, if you ever had a proper carp, you would sing a different
song. :-)

Betcha never ate gar either. Easy and better'n you would think.

Care
Charlie

We have alligator gar around here. I've noted that many fisherman toss
them on the bank.

I've never caught one. Might consider spear fishing for one. I'm not
convinced an average fishing line would hold one with those teeth!

It's normally used in Menudo and either slow cooked or pressure cooked!
