Condiment driven meals

Does this count? I had a jar of horseradish in my cupboard. I had
bought it to try it out - horseradish isn't eaten very commonly here.

I was approaching tis expiry date and I still hadn't tried it. So I
looked in the fridge. And decided to put it on bread + cream cheese. I
loved it. A week into eating this combo, I added a fresh tomato I had
just harvested, and a little pepper. Divine.

Would you call this condiment driven?

Speaking of "points of toast," I have to laugh about "points of toast."
A
woman who works in a doctor's office and I always discuss food when I am
in
the waiting chair. Over the years, invariably, tho different, a receipe
she
talks enthusiastically about always includes "points of toast." I perk
my
head to one side like a little doggie listening and a little bewildered.
If
I've got it right, they are cut up pieces of toast to a point, and I've
never quite understood the attraction to 'points of toast.' Is it a
'Gourmet magzine' type of thing? Does anyone DO 'points of toast." Phew!
I
got that off my chest.

Toast points are standard for serving caviar.

It's a less messy way to eat stuff as you don't have to bite "into" it.

Hmm, Om. Truly? Would this type of thing be served at a wedding reception,
etc? I've just not noticed it.
Dee Dee

Could be. :-)
I've only ever seen it (or served it) at New Years parties.
I can only afford to indulge in Caviar once per year...

Cheers!

So how do you make it??? :-)

Inquiring minds want to know.....

I will tell you how I make Yorkshire pudding. My confidence in turning that
into Toad in the Hole has been dented, even though I have been making it for
30 + years🙂)

4 heaped dessertpoons of plain flour
2 eggs
pinch of salt
milk and water
dripping to cook

put flour, salt and one egg into basin
put one egg into measure and fill it up to half pint with a mixture of milk
and water (approx half and half)

Beat all well together and put into fridge. I usually make my better first
thing in the morning and leave there until needed (this standing time is
important)

turn oven up to full heat and when very hot, put in baking dish with
dripping.

When it is starting to smoke,. beat batter again and pour quickly into
smoking dish! close oven door quickly.
After about 15 minutes or when it is risen and puffy, turn heat down to
finish cooking through. I haven't given heat numbers because this can be
cooked in any oven

If you don't have a window in your oven you need to have faith and not keep
peeking until it has been cooking for at least 20 minutes and then open it
only a wee crack🙂

It sounds fascinating, thanks! :-)
Simple too.

LOL true. Are you English then?

No, that was a contnued quote from the recipe I got of the 'net, sorry!
I should have put dividing lines between theirs and mine. :-)

No you need an oven to cook it. It rises until it is very light and
puffy
and crisp

O

Ah, but a dutch oven over a campfire should work as long as you have the
one with a coal lid.

Dunno but you could try🙂

I had a friend who made a fruit version of Toad in the Hole. Instead of
sausages she sliced up apples or other fruits

That sounds tasty!

I love to make baked apples with cinnamon.

I have always wondered, what in the heck *is* Yorkshire Pudding???????

kili

I have an excellent recipe for yorkshire pudding if you want it. It's
now superseded all other recipes for the pudding.

Yorkshire pudding is a cooked batter that is served with roast beef, a
very English institution, and since NZ was a British colony, that's
part of our heritage.
