Ärende: beer and celery 263
===========================
 -> I didn't think so. I'd much rather have eaten the celery and carrots
 -> separately (and probably drunk the beer separately, too).
 HN> Different tastes I suppose, I like beer in lots of things!

I like beer primarily in my tum. In dishes, I can take it or
leave it. In Carbonnades, I can take it without celery and carrots.

 -> Poor people recipes would go like this: steal 1 chicken; pluck;
 -> boil in least dirty water available until done.
 HN> You forgot "toss anything else you can find into the pot as well"!
 
There wasn't much to find among the poorer classes. Hence
revolutions and insurrections and suchlike.

Abalone steaks
cat: main, rich
serves: 2

12 Tb unsalted butter, clarified to make about
- 10 Tb clarified butter
1/2 c flour
1 c soft white breadcrumbs from day-old bread
2 eggs, beaten
4 abalone steaks, 4 oz each
1 ts salt
1/4 ts ground white pepper

Pound steaks with the flat of a cleaver or the smooth
side of a kitchen mallet (or other such heavy object)
until they are about 1/3" thick. Bread in flour, eggs,
and breadcrumbs in that order. Season with salt and
pepper. Let stand to firm coating.

Heat half the clarified butter (this is melted butter
with the foam skimmed off the top and decanted to remove
the solids at the bottom; it's a yellow, clearish liquid
of pretty uniform appearance) until it is very hot. Add
two of the steaks and fry over high heat for 2 - 3 min
on a side or until brown on both sides. Remove them to a
warm place, add the rest of the butter and the other two
steaks, and cook similarly. Serve with lemon wedges on
the side (we had deep-sea clam steaks done similarly).
