Ärende: beer and celery
=======================
On 10-08-07 MICHAEL LOO Scribbled to HAP NEWSOM about beer and celery 

ML> HN> Hmmmm, beer and celery should go together...and carrots too. the
ML> HN> flavors should complement quite well I'd think...beer does NOT
ML> HN> go with zucchini however! I'd carmelize the carrots a bit before
ML> HN> adding any beer to em though!

ML>I didn't think so. I'd much rather have eaten the celery and carrots
ML>separately (and probably drunk the beer separately, too).

Beer does go with zucchini - if you drink enough beer you almost can 
enjoy zucchini. Sometimes. Sort of.

ML> HN> Hmmm, very interesting recipe..it would have been a very
ML> HN> expensive dish if it were really medieval in origin..sugar, and
ML> HN> the spices, would have not been available to the "masses" in
ML> HN> medieval times and who knows what grain of paradise is? 

ML>Poor people recipes would go like this: steal 1 chicken; pluck;
ML>boil in least dirty water available until done.

Funny you should mention stealing ingredients. One of the Dirty Dave 
specials uses that technique ....

      Title: Unique Apple Pie (An Uncle Dirty Dave Special)
 Categories: Tnt, Pies, Fruit, Pastry, Pork
      Yield: 6 servings
 
      4 sl Bacon; Rendered and crumbled
           -=OR=-
    1/3 c  Bacon drippings
  1 1/2 c  Unsifted all-purpose flour
      2 tb To 3 tb cold water
      1    Egg yolk

MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
      3 c  Apple slices (med)
    3/4 c  Granulated white sugar
    3/4 c  Light brown sugar
      1 ts Cinnamon; ground
    1/4 ts Allspice; ground
    1/4 ts Nutmeg; ground
 
  First, swipe some apples from that apple tree down the
  alley. A medium sized Kroger bag should be enough.
  Assuming you don't get caught scoot for home and wash the
  fruits of your labour. Peel, core and slice (medium) three
  cups of fruit. Put in a bowl and cover with water to
  prevent browning.
  
  Make the pastry.
  
  Pastry: In medium-size bowl, place 1 1/2 C unsifted all
  purpose flour. With pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in 1/3
  cup of bacon drippings, until the mixture resembles coarse
  crumbs. Do not add salt. The dripping provide plenty of
  salt.
  
  Add 2 to 3 TB cold water and an egg yolk to flour mixture
  and mix lightly with fork until moistened; gather into a
  ball. Wrap pastry and refrigerate 30 minutes.
  
  Roll out pastry for a 9 or 10 inch pie pan. Butter the pie
  pan and place bottom layer of pastry in it. Mix 3/4 cup
  refined white sugar, 3/4 cup light brown sugar, 1 tsp
  cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg and 1/4 tsp allspice in a medium
  sized bowl. Drain apple slices and mix with sugar/spice
  mix. If all the sugar/spice mix is not used up in coating
  apple slices spread it over the filling after transferring
  fruit to pie pan.
  
  Moisten rim of pastry with a little water and place top
  crust on pie, pinching top and bottom together to seal.
  Cut steam vents into top crust with a sharp knife. If
  desired, use a pastry brush to brush the egg white left
  from getting the egg yolk on top crust for a glaze.
  Sprinkle sugar across the crust lightly and dust lightly
  with cinnamon.
  
  Bake pie @ 350oF - 375oF for 50 to 55 minutes or until
  crust is lightly browned and filling bubbles. Cool 10
  minutes on wire rack before cutting.
  
  Variations... I often fry up 4 slices of thick cut slab
  bacon to provide the bacon drippings. Then crumble the
  bacon slices and mix with the filling. Serve with a slice
  of sharp cheddar cheese between the top crust and the
  filling.
  
  This is an absolutely scrumptious pie, if I do say so.
  
  First made in August 1955, Springfield, IL
