Hi Michael,

 ML> I've had satisfactory rouladen with and without pickles.
 ML> Sometimes the without have had pickle juice in the sauce.
 RH> This is the first rouladen recipe I've seen that doesn't call for
 RH> them. I can't imagine pickle juice only as an acceptable sub.

 ML> I think in the recipe quoted, the mustard is supposed to
 ML> do both its work and that of the pickles. See the end of
 ML> this post for my own rouladen recipe, which uses both.


But you don't get to crunch into the pickle if it's not there.


 ML> Pickles are about the only setting in which I tolerate
 ML> dill - salmon with green fronds doesn't do it for me.
 RH> A light breath of dill is fine, swimming in it, no way.

 ML> Tell that to restaurants, amateur cooks, and food shows.

Don't order it in restaraunts, guide the amateur cook and take the food
shows with a grain or more (half the shaker?) of salt.  Easy enough
solutions to all 3 situations. (G)


 ML> Tomato sauce? That's just not echt.
 RH> Ever have it that way?

 ML> Nope, but it strikes me rouladen need a brown background.

I like it both ways but I think I make the tomato verson more often.

 ML>  RHCt> I've had milk chocolate with bacon in it.  It almost worked,
 ML> but the  RHCt> chocolate wasn't dark enough.
 RH> Michael brought some to the picnic last year at Janis's.  As I recall,
 RH> it wasn't an overwhelming success--more of an "OK, this is
 RH> interesting" reaction.

 ML> Some people kind of liked it. I found it too milky and too salty
 ML> but otherwise fine. I originally read "chocolate milk with bacon
 ML> in it," which seemed an unappealing idea.

It would have been better with darker chocolate and a more pronounced
bacon taste instead of an almost but not quite bacon taste.

 ML>     Servings: 6

 ML>        2 lb round steak
 ML>        3 md pickles
 ML>        5 oz smoked bacon, minced
 ML>        1 lg onion, minced
 ML>        3 oz breadcrumbs
 ML>        4 oz prepared mustard
 ML>        2 Tb oil for browning
 ML>        2 lg onions, sliced thin
 ML>        2 md carrots, diced
 ML>        1    celery stalk, minced
 ML>        1 qt beef stock
 ML>        1 c  beer (substitute water)
 ML>        1 Tb butter (or a little more)
 ML>        2 Tb flour (or a little less)


Saved, I'll have to give it a try.  Probably with the cast iron dutch
oven to hold in the heat/flavors.  I'll probably sub another cup of
stock for the beer instead of water.
