I make (cure and smoke) all our bacon even have made it from a lamb briskit t it was to die for!

I can tell you how if you like!

Whoa, HiD!!

I made pastrami once and it didn't come out too well. Also made and smoked link sausage and they weren't all that great either . . .

What do you think . . . have I got any chance to do a better job with bacon?

I've been reading this thread, and thinking what a great idea it is to make latkes (though i'm not sure what those are yet) or potato pancakes out of left over mashed potatoes. And then i realized why i never have. We never have leftover mashed potatoes. Around here, those are eaten immediately. :/

absolutely! there is no reason whatsoever you can not make bacon at home

the briskit works nicely but you need a fatty one! I am Yankee but live in in the Pacific NW so I do a maple cure with apple smoke! and it is very well recieved ...we could start a thread ..hmmm how do we make bacon a garden subject???? got it!!!!

"smoke your prunings" ok that sounds bad "making bacon as it relates to gardening?"

let me know and I will share ..really I am due to make some it makes nice holiday gifts if you start now it will be pefect for sharing over the new year as well ...in your black eyed peas!!!

nothings says holiday bliss than bacon with a bow!

HI there

Latkes are the name of a shredded raw potato pancake with a hint of onion or chives ..they range from all over Europe but I believe (and you can prove me wrong I am just telling you what I know) they are mainly through Eastern Europe and Russia? Germans and the Swiss I know love them! I bet every culture who has raw potatoes has made some form of latke they are a compress hashbrown maybe? ..they are fried in a skillet lots of hot oil until crispy outside but tender soft in the middle ..and simply is to die for

they are traditionally served at Chanukkah but by no means exclusively Jewish although I am have a bit of a bias think Jewish ones reign supreme ..(it is really the only way I know how to make them!)


some folks love them with applesauce and sour cream or just sour cream ..my dad eats them with beet horseradish ..very good

awww I am getting nostalgic over latkes I hope you folks who have never tried them do


I like them with hot sauce on them

Why would one need to be careful about recipes online, HiD? Liability? Heck, I take my shoes off before I start work in the kitchen! LOL

Latkes are very much like hashbrown potatoes. We do call them hashbrowns in other parts of North America, don't we?

I had to laugh at questions about grit and "grits" on BackYardChickens. I swear, some people born and raised in the US know polenta and don't know grits. But, there are lots of regional foods I don't know about.

Thank you, Punkin.

I thought you had to register with allrecipe to use it. My son suggested it too, but . . . he's not much of a cook. Shhhh !

I did a search in cooks.com and so much showed up it was hard to wade thru them and some didn't even have all 3 ingredients. Maybe I haven't figured out how to use the search properly.

Casseroles? I was very busy last winter practicing on casseroles. I must have tried 8 or 10 recipes, at least.

sorry Steve I deleted what I said ..typed what I was thinking ..and you caught me first whoops

2 reasons 1.. if you do not give credit where credit is due it bites you back so it is good to list a recipe with a link .and give the credit and honestly I have no idea at all who invented what but I would sure like to be fair before I posted ...and 2 the other side of the coin.. ..I had a bad experience of being at the other end of this and just remembered it as I was typing ..then I thought ..forget it and deleted what I said I am sorry

post your recipes with reckless abandon! enjoy life and pay no attention to this crazy woman behind the post

but I make a damn good latke

yup like hashbrowns but cuter!

 

[HiDelight]

do you guys put cracker meal and eggs in hashbrowns?
