Default Premature review Book " jamie at home"


A cookbook based on the four seasons. Nothing so unique about that
except it only has recipes using stuff you can grow. Author recommends
seed saver's, Johnny's and more. Sort of reflects "Omnivore's Dilemma"
and mentions wild game.

Dedicated to Steve Erwin.

Starts off with this here chat. Edited for brevity .

" Look, I thought this would be a good opportunity to get you all up to
speed, because it will come out in the press eventually anyway. So I'm
going to tell you straight: basically, my wife has accused me of having
an affair. She'll tell anyone she meets that I've been nipping out of
the house for and hour here , an hour there, and coming back looking
refreshed, rosy-cheeked and guilty, with grass stains on my knees.
........................
All I've done is fallen in love with my garden, and with my veg patch
in particular..........."

Winter --Lutefisk......mmmmmmmm... NOT!

Charlie

"Lutefisk is cod that has been dried in a lye solution. It looks like
the desiccated cadavers of squirrels run over by trucks, but after it
is soaked and reconstituted and the lye is washed out and it’s cooked,
it looks more fish-related, though with lutefisk, the window of
success is small. It can be tasty, but the statistics aren’t on your
side. It is the hereditary delicacy of Swedes and Norwegians who serve
it around the holidays, in memory of their ancestors, who ate it
because they were poor. Most lutefisk is not edible by normal people.
It is reminiscent of the afterbirth of a dog or the world’s largest
chunk of phlegm." --- Garrison Keillor


Being married to Ingrid 39 years we never had Lutefisk. Just lingon,
herring, mustards, small potatoes, Kineckabrod, (Sp) Eel and what ever
else was about. Gooseberry seems to be creeping in to the smorgasbord
delights. Oh god forgive me herring all types too. Then there is the
lighting of the glogg...Aquavit the fire of life. Still I forgot to
mention Limpa and there are types of Limpa. Then there is Pea soup with
fat back on Thursday. This on the side. I try do this on Dec 21 being
a solstice kind of guy but Dec 24 rules here.

Those Swedes also have rotten fish under pressure that is considered
excellent. Never had it .

A half-starved population with a Œwhat the heck mentality¹, decided to
go ahead and try storing fish without such trifles as preservation.

Oh, sorry, have some haggis then.
Haggis is a traditional Scottish dish.
There are many recipes, most of which have in common the following
ingredients: sheep's 'pluck' (heart, liver and lungs), minced with
onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and
traditionally boiled in the animal's stomach for approximately three
hours.
Haggis is traditionally served with "neeps and tatties" (Scots: swede,
yellow turnip or rutabaga and potatoes, boiled and mashed separately)
and a "dram" (i.e. a glass of Scotch whisky), especially as the main
course of a Burns supper. However it is also often eaten with other
accompaniments, or served with a Whisky-based sauce.

On second thought, just bring me a single malt.
