What is that???

PIGS FEET WITH FRENCH GREEN LENTILS​

Try to buy pig's feet, or trotters, that are long, with half or all of the shank attached. The shank will provide more meat and skin, for a nicer wrapper.​

To Cook the Pig's Feet

Split the trotters lengthwise. Place a bed of mirepoix and aromatics (carrots, onions, leeks, bay leaves, thyme sprigs, and parsley stems) in the bottom of a rondeau, or deep straight-sided braising pan. Place the trotters skin side down over the mirepoix. Sprinkle the top with more mirepoix and aromatics. Add chicken stock to cover by 2 inches. Cover the pot with a lid and bring to a simmer over medium heat.​

Transfer the pot to a 300ûF. oven and cook for about 6 hours, or until the meat is falling away from the bones. Remove from the oven and cool for an hour to make them easier to handle.

Remove the trotters from the liquid, debone them, and discard the bones. Remove the meat, shred it, and reserve. Remove any sinew still attached to the pig's skin. The skins will become the wrappers, so scrape them with a knife to make it a uniform thickness. Refrigerate both the skin and the meat to chill. Strain the cooking liquid and reserve.



Lentils are good for you, or so I'm told

You can have that grilled, fried, or roast, with either chips or a salad.

[Andy Broadley]

How would you like your Yak ? (this is an eating thread, so 'Alive' is not an option)

 

[Abiel]

[Andy Broadley]

*Yells through to the kitchen*

Very sorry, but it appears that the yak ate all the salad then absconded out of the back door....er, can do you a nice spam sandwich.

 

[Abiel]

Spam will do- as long as it is round and served on a crumpet.

 

[SonOfThunder]

Monty Python Spam Song

Scene: A cafe. One table is occupied by a group of Vikings wearing horned helmets. Whenever the word "spam" is repeated, they begin singing and/or chanting. A man and his wife enter. The man is played by Eric Idle, the wife is played by Graham Chapman (in drag), and the waitress is played by Terry Jones, also in drag.

Man:You sit here, dear.
Wife:All right.
Man:Morning!
Waitress:Morning!
Man:Well, what've you got?
Waitress:Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam;
Vikings:Spam spam spam spam...
Waitress:...spam spam spam egg and spam; spam spam spam spam spam spam baked beans spam spam spam...
Vikings:Spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam!
Waitress:...or Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam.
Wife:Have you got anything without spam?
Waitress:Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
Wife:I don't want ANY spam!
Man:Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage?
Wife:THAT'S got spam in it!
Man:Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it?
Vikings:Spam spam spam spam... (Crescendo through next few lines...)
Wife:Could you do the egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam then?
Waitress:Urgghh!
Wife:What do you mean 'Urgghh'? I don't like spam!
Vikings:Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!
Waitress:Shut up!
Vikings:Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!
Waitress:Shut up! (Vikings stop) Jolly Vikings! You can't have egg bacon spam and sausage without the spam.
Wife:I don't like spam!
Man:Sshh, dear, don't cause a fuss. I'll have your spam. I love it. I'm having spam spam spam spam spam spam spam beaked beans spam spam spam and spam!
Vikings:Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!
Waitress:Shut up!! Baked beans are off.
Man:Well could I have her spam instead of the baked beans then?
Waitress:You mean spam spam spam spam spam spam... (but it is too late and the Vikings drown her words)
Vikings:Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam! Spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam spa-a-a-a-a-am spam. Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Lovely spam! Spam spam spam spam!

[SonOfThunder]

[Andy Broadley]

And some bacon and eggs with the toast

 

[Abiel]

It's a 1950's dish called 'Mashed Potato Surprise' It's canned mushrooms in the centre.

 

[Andy Broadley]

Whats the surprise bit?

 

[Abiel]

I really dont know- probably that contrary to expectation, it stays down once eaten!
