Title: "Newfie" Homestyle Cooking and Baking
Post by: caribougrrl on June 26, 2019, 01:21:56 PM
I will save my rant about the use of the word newfie, particularly by Newfoundlanders who've moved away and only have a nostalgic relationship to this place... but...

I have been invited to join a FB group called Newfie Homestyle Cooking and Baking... with >20k members... as much as I love the spiral bound cookbooks church ladies' groups put together for fundraising, I have no interest in contributing to this group, and I am certainly not going to walk away with any good recipes.

OTOH, there are some real gems being posted every day.

Like Anita's Orange Crush Salad
(https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/65297783_2525942817445601_1188431117389135872_n.jpg?_nc_cat=101&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=577449a7cdb0e5976a37b8810d283abf&oe=5DBA959F)

and Dorothy's French Dressing Pasta Salad
(https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/64975508_10157560546790625_2062336514062286848_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=d7f0799b8ecf8fdb1a49a2c4bb20997f&oe=5DC63A88)

and Catherine's "Goulash"
(https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/65114057_10162175566660624_2833187902794498048_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=caf2f4bfac50504fd97ad167f10a1c06&oe=5DC6D517)

and at least 7 no-bake cheesecakes so far today...



so, the question is, do I join for the entertainment value, or just go on about my life like I don't even know this exists??

i will admit to a certain obsession with church lady cookbooks.  my mother collects them (or she did, until her house burned to the ground - so long, cookbooks!  what a loss).  they are a great reflection of the food culture in any given area.

I also love church lady cookbooks. So much, I volunteered to put one together as a fundraiser for our community garden... the garden committee decided to apply for a grant instead, but I might try again in a couple years.

Confession: jello & jello salads were something I never got to eat as a kid and I LOVED. Loved loved loved loved. Jello and gummy candies are just about the only thing I "miss" about being a vegetarian.

Those pasta abominations though... holy hell.

I am also inexplicably fond of jello... but that particular version gave me sugar shock just reading the recipe. :)

I think jello is okay, I would not go out of my way to eat it, but it’s fine... but just PLAIN jello. Once people start suspending other food in it, I just can’t.

My dad’s family loooooved that stuff and I remember choking down a lot of jello “salads” as a kid. Popular add ins were fruit cocktail, sliced bananas, and (this one was the worst) shredded carrots and raisins. Whhhyyyyyyyyyy?!?!?
Title: Re: "Newfie" Homestyle Cooking and Baking
Post by: rocketgirl on June 27, 2019, 12:52:05 PM
I would eat a jello salad full of fruit and whipped cream.  (There is something called a strawberry pretzel salad that is popular here that is strawberry jello and crushed pretzels and some sort of strawberry cool whip.)

I will not eat a jello salad that has mayonnaise (or miracle whip or similar) in it.  That is gross.

I do not like plain jello.

I would eat a hamburger mac or a chili mac.  I am not sure what that "goulash" is though.

The only meat that I would put ketchup on is a burger or hot dog, but normally not even that.

I think that in most of the world, goulash is a stew.  Here, it seems to be like "homemade" hamburger helper.

Agreed. But, that said, I feel like my mom had a similar looking dish that she called goulash. I think it’s what people sometimes call American chop suey?

I’d probably eat any combo of beefy sauce with macaroni. That photo in the OP looks horrendous, but food photography is notoriously hard to do well. It probably tastes decent.

that type of goulash is very popular in franco american communities in new england - where it is called "american chop suey."

I think what puts me off most about that "goulash" is the shininess.  It's like she tried to thicken a watery tomato sauce with corn starch.  :vomit:

I thought that too, then thought maybe it's just the quality of the sauce she bought? So I went to see if she also posted a recipe. Lo and behold:

Quote
JI use lean ground beef fried up with onion and garlic powder in little olive oil. Drain grease when almost cooked. Cook whatever kind of pasta you like. Then I use 2 cans of tomato soup, 1/2 can water, 1/4 cup of ketchup, cook on low till heated. Simply mix meat, noodles and soup together and you’ve got one tasty Goulash! Enjoy!

Sorry, I can't hang with that. That gets a big fat nope from me.

I mean-- why. Why would you eat that? It doesn't have to be fancy. Just used a can of tomatoes instead of soup, lady!

That goulash sounds a lot like the goulash you would find in South Dakota pot lucks and school lunches in the 70s and 80s. That bread pudding recipe is making me a bit queasy.

Jello bread pudding is an abomination.

First of all, there should be no jello.  Second of all, there should be butter and bourbon.  And eggs and probably milk and sugar.  I don't remember what all, but definitely not jello.

Linda made an "Orange Creamcycle" cake for her husband's birthday. She made it yesterday. Her husband's birthday is Tuesday. Just so we're all clear about all the things.

(https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/67548545_2866640196740256_3719831979194056704_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&_nc_oc=AQk_7I4VRdM3hwVK1BzVSaZY00R-aLYWdkIxMh04u0cbFCumznQ5pekpSVEZ0-BczNs&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=cb90f52951e88ddc2af66b292f46b226&oe=5DD8B605)

At any rate, I don't think I should worry about it getting stale or anything, because it seems to be packed full of stuff that does not go off:

Quote
Orange Creamcycle Cake recipe: I can’t find orange cake mix, so I just use a white and add one pack of orange jello powder, dry to the cake mix. When the cake is done and cooled you can add another pack of jello and add just one cup of hot water, let it cool a bit and poke holes in the cake then pour the jello in. Refrigerate. Topping two pack of dream whip and a pack of dry orange jello. Mix the same as the directions on the dream whip box. It’s delicious and tastes just like creamcycles .

Debbie made a corned beef casserole. When I viewed it on my phone, I figured the photo was pre-baking. I am not so certain anymore.

(https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/67385559_2539165789441507_178923024676814848_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&_nc_oc=AQmJW7YPc01vpPykh3C4_kk51pOlKCWY71hSEDAVvtm7diMV29TbnbnsHMIxcFmZvw0&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=f89b7d1c76b562897cc4102b8e3a498c&oe=5DDF2BDE)

I mean, on the one hand, it looks not cooked. On the other hand, there is evidence of recent cooking on an otherwise very clean baking dish, roughly mimicking the outline of the casserole.

Reading the comments has not really cleared up the issue of cooked or not cooked. It has, however, introduced some interesting tips for corned beef casserole.
- All is in the recipe is corned beef, potatoes, onions, and salt and pepper
- Gordon makes his just like that except he put a can of gravy on before baking
- Carol makes it just like Gordon except she uses a can of tomato soup
- Donna uses tomato soup mixed with barbeque sauce
- Roger likes to eat this with a big side of baked beans
- Vivianne forgot all about corned beef casserole and is excited to try it on Sunday, maybe with some carrots mixed in
- Emma definitely adds carrots
- NOT ONE PERSON suggested sauteeing the onions before baking

I cook mashing potatoes. Let them get cold. About 6 potatoes. A can of corned beef hash. Mash it in the potatoes. Fry an onion. Mix that in. You can use an egg to hold it together. Make into balls & flatten. Then fry till there browned. There crispy that way.


Dorothy made a corned beef casserole, kind of like Debbie's from earlier in the week, except she added shredded cheese, peameal bacon, and what I think might be cheese strings.

white rural north american cuisine... but, plus cod tongues
Title: Re: "Newfie" Homestyle Cooking and Baking
Post by: caribougrrl on August 06, 2019, 10:59:08 AM
so, for balanced reporting, here are some things I think of as actual regional foods... but would be interested to learn if they show up in other places:

Three-Bun Bread - I mean, it's just regular home made bread, but cooked as three small loaves in one loaf pan, which I have not encountered anywhere else, but is the default here. No one bakes it as a single loaf. The best part of three-bun bread is the tipping slice, which is when you get the last part of one bun and the first part of the next bun in the same slice. I will fight you for the tipping slice.
(https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/67641565_2541237225935143_380450367743197184_n.jpg?_nc_cat=104&_nc_oc=AQlfCJieX-VYG6KzG0nv21GRJOav7UdLH1YEiRw5BFuyJr85HRpSFZ2p_r1HLIH_n_M&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=20ce8711343c9a2d0c9d841810b3201e&oe=5DEC47B9)

Pan-fried Cod Tongue - Exactly that, the tongue from the cod. Traditionally, split cod was salted and dried and sent overseas as an export. So   it was rare to eat fresh filleted cod, because that would eat into your profit (or, more likely, slow the rate at which you repaid the company store).  Heads and entrails were kept, entrails to fertilize the garden, heads for the soup pot. Before the soup pot though, the tongue and cheeks were removed for eating. Even now, if you hire a kid to fillet cod for you after a day of fishing, it's courtesy to let them keep the tongue and cheeks if they want them. If you go on a cod fishing tour, filleting is usually part of the service. If the skipper is doing the filleting, it's okay to ask to keep the tongues and cheeks... if it's hired out to a kid on the wharf, you should give them first refusal. Commercial fish plants will package the tongues and cheeks separately, so you can also buy them for sale in grocery stores. All that said, I don't like cod tongue. They've got a weirdly gelatinous texture, and when you fry them, they puff up like they are trying to say something and it just puts me off.
(https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/66275137_10156600938021867_3246362880496369664_n.jpg?_nc_cat=106&_nc_oc=AQn_Ho4LFJbq4mJu0YVXBJ-dg7BnYpFLfg9qOnM2TmUSXA0NUrdmzhF8SZp6abFrzoM&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=4ca6fcae6719185ebd397b8c34e57da6&oe=5DEEA0B9)

Salt Fish Cakes - In Newfoundland, these are made with salt cod (or a mix of salt cod and fresh cod), potatoes, and dried savoury. If there is no dried savoury, they are not "newfoundland" fish cakes. Typically served with mustard pickle (mixed veg sweet pickles in mustard sauce).
(https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/62165874_508694096571811_114709303641767936_n.jpg?_nc_cat=107&_nc_oc=AQnBpR-gtdtvY34apL8DmX_7wLePs2r98jTftr7RPsyIN4zAT8sWgsdKY6DDquV6UPY&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=3e8848ea2e792006629bd8f5a621d633&oe=5DDBFFC8)

Toutons - These are fried bread. Like bread dough, shaped into disks and fried to cook. Fry in rendered pork back fat*. Served with molasses. Maybe molasses butter if you are fancy.
(https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/45226729_10214965316024102_923035969953726464_n.jpg?_nc_cat=103&_nc_oc=AQmTRTtQellbrecmD-2sFOXuMwdZ3JohFN5SiXaAQaUE73F9jCcn7BI5FSgaPpHxIlU&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=8d5042887fc48fec25a25ab58a2601a2&oe=5DCECE8F)

*speaking of pork back fat, this is a major condiment in traditional Newfoundland cooking... cube brined back fat, render the fat out, leaving behind a pile of crispy squares of pork scrunchions... spoon hot fat and crispy scrunchions over pretty much anything that includes cod (salted or fresh) and either potatoes or hard bread... maybe sautee some onion in the fat first, if you are fancy

No, there were two mounds of mashed potatoes, a mound of salted cod, bacon sprinkled all over and a side of chow. I thought it tasted best all mixed together, though. It’s not really my cup of tea but wanted to try salted cod.

This was in Shelbourne, NS. We are now in the Bras d’Or lakes and I’m looking forward to finding some wild blueberries.

If you are in the Bras d'Or Lakes region, you really should eat eel. Might be a tad bit early for blueberries in Cape Breton, but maybe not.


In Newfoundland, people make salt cod and potatoes, which would be salt cod boiled in a pot with potatoes then separated out for serving. Topped with rendered salt back fat and scrunchions. Might be served with mustard pickle. Similar to what you had anyway. I find it really bland. Some people love it.

IMO, the best things to do with salt cod is to soak it, poach it, then marinade while still hot in a red wine vinaigrette... when cooled to room temp, serve in a salad with thin sliced radishes and thin sliced red onion, lots of parsley and a bit of lovage.

I really want to know what that is.

I noticed there is a zigzag edge on whatever the red stuff is... which is making me suspect it's deep-fried pickled hot peppers?


I love breakfast for dinner.  But what is on the toast?  Is it whipped honey?

peanut butter!

"I'm not a big lover of bacon,and can manage to eat one strip,but my sinificate other thinks otherwise. So i tossed in a couple pieces of bologna for myself...followed by homemade hashbrowns which are the 💣and last but certainty not least peanut butter on my toast that i add a generous amount to!!!"

it was clearly a gluttonous weekend involving a lot of french fries based meals

Wanda had takeout chips-dressing-and-gravy (this is a very traditional way to serve fries in Newfoundland... when you order fish and chips here, you are always asked if you want dressing and gravy on the fries, it is that common... the dressing is like bread stuffing for poultry)
(https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/67227320_10157277240296000_3230492907618172928_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&_nc_oc=AQlnSfMKQmCyaiLkaUS_KqEKBr4yACgTMS3uEqek8UX80LDeo4SoWsqtIZB4dmqtxCw&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=a80a0ee055c61382f94fdcac417b1762&oe=5E0D1123)

Tony took a less traditional route and ordered what looks like fries with cheese and gravy... with some ham or maybe bologna added. The receipt is from somewhere in Quebec, so I am optimistic that is real poutine cheese and poutine sauce.

for those who are curious, she used the Fraser Farm brand of meatballs in gravy, which there seems to be a good consensus this is the best brand for the purpose of spooning over fries...

**The pasta salad debate has taken on a bit of a life of it's own, so I decided it should have it's own post, not play second fiddle to Bernadette's pork chop dinner.**

This morning there is a long discussion on the best dressing for pasta salad. Early in the day, it looked like mixing half french dressing with half italian dressing would be the winner. Then mixing mayo with french dressing started to gain a lot of popularity. Then some discussion about how if you mix mayo, ketchup and mustard, it's pretty much the same as french dressing and mayo. The general idea of mayo + bottled salad dressing, however, seems quite popular.

The other direction the pasta salad discussion has taken is: okay, but what kind of meat in it? Traditionalists are arguing whether you put cubed ham or flaked ham in it.  One person feels it is context dependent, that cubed meat is fine with rotini noodles, but if you are using elbow macaroni it has to have flaked meat.Someone went rogue and suggested that SPAM is the way to go, or even pepperoni cubes.

But, back to ham, there is a secondary debate around canned ham vs. cooked ham for cubing. By cooked ham, it seems they mean unsliced deli ham.

so, the same culture of people who happily eat goulash made with tomato soup are super enthusiastic about squid season

Renee and Jonathan thought to take pictures when they went out squidding; after cleaning and salting the bulk of their haul, and freezing much of the rest of it, they stuffed some fresh squid to bake for dinner
(https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/69133742_10162233566280092_3272074878307532800_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_oc=AQm2SyyXuIwIYTTMqXeFYjImCYAc_7cgqR7mr5qOcTy3Ty-bbYoiAtlOyR1cCuBKZUU&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=1d2257cb0603255e149dfdf5858ba3bc&oe=5E0760E6)(https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/68453601_10162233567325092_4581162398819287040_n.jpg?_nc_cat=102&_nc_oc=AQnZlCqP0KKhhXBJzNYHwUvHyWuCLrh5N74UuH80zEMSKBiEmqNZlFJ4OIpaE0d4b-E&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=72727d4a87f58131ace9d6c742928314&oe=5DCC29BC)

Elizabeth cleaned 35 lbs of squid for the freezer, and rewarded herself with some fresh squid deep fried:

Shirley got some fresh squid from a neighbour and made stuffed squid, which she served with bacon wrapped bay scallops and squid and brewis* (brewis is hard bread, aka sea biscuits, you soak it, tear it into peices, the bake with onions and pork fat and some kind of sea food - usually salt cod - then top with pork scrunchions)

Myra and Troy (Troy of the scallop poutine) both also prepped stuffed squid for baking:

stuffing for squid here is bread stuffing usually... either like poultry stuffing, or you make up fish-and-brewis (salt cod) and stuff that into squid, then bake long enough to cook the stuffing and bake past the rubbery stage of squid until it gets tender again

Top picks from the weekend:

Diane's family had "hamburger gravy with all the fixings". Fixings appear to include, pickled beets, green tomato pickles, boiled potatoes, and rutabaga mashed with carrots.

Betsy made vegetable fried rice and chicken stir fry. And roast potatoes and carrots.

Catherine served cold fried chicken with all the "salads": macaroni salad (note: cubed cheese, squares of sliced ham), french dressing pasta salad, and vegetable potato salad.

Good one, Dorothy.  I like bologna, so I could probably eat this.  Nothing on the ingredients list that seems especially noxious, except maybe the sugar.  Oh, and the miracle whip. 

2 -1/2 - cups bologna (grind)
2 - Tbsp.Celery ( diced)
2 - Tsp. onion (Diced)
2 - Eggs ( boiled & diced)
1/2 - cup miracle whip
1 - Tbsp. yellow mustard

I mean-- don't get me wrong-- the stuff I eat as regular dinner or lunch probably does not look any more appetizing than that. For example, today I had zucchini noodles w/ sauce & veggie sausages and I'm not a fancy photographer so it probably looks mostly like gloop. But I just can't imagine getting excited enough about every-day-food to post about it on facebook.

Right, that’s what so great about this thread. Food photography is notoriously difficult, and most of this stuff is not really the kind of food that “foodie” people typically take pictures of. It’s all just so church potluck pride, which I’m loving.

I’m sure I’d eat and enjoy almost everything in this thread if my Aunt Rosemary made it for me. (Maybe not the bologna thing... but I’d try it to be polite.) It might all be ugly but it’s probably decent food, if not quite Instagram ready.

I am in Dublin at the moment and I am decidedly not a fan of Irish food (I realize there are good restaurants in Dublin, they just aren't "Irish"). Everything is overcooked (ESPECIALLY the vegetables, when you can get them) and the only seasoning used is salt.

Much like the Newfie cuisine, it just makes me think "old people food."

I have some old cookbooks from my grandmothers' and DH's grandmother's church.  Some funny recipes in them and most would be at home in the retro food thread but some are also delicious!  Not pretty but wonderful comfort food.

my french-canadian father with family on both sides of the windsor-detroit border grew up eating roast bologna (so, we were subject to that ourselves as kids, despite the otherwise seed-to-table driven upbringing I had).

in my recollection, the texture is pretty different

I remember eating bologna sandwiches as a kid and I know there is a regional "fried bologna" - maybe PA? - but having lived in several places on the east coast, DD and none of her friends have ever said anything about eating bologna in any fashion.

Now, I am craving a bologna sandwich on white bread with yellow mustard.  It was what the cool kids ate.  Mine was always on some sort of homemade wheat bread made by my dad.   :D

Yes.  Fried thick cut bologna is the bomb.  (Traditionally with mayo, but I like it with mustard and cheddar - basically fry the bologna and then do a fried bologna and grilled cheese sandwich.  Sooooo good.)

Yes. Although, I can't remember the last time (other than this thread) I have heard anyone mention bologna. Except maybe as a nostalgia type of comment.

But, I agree. I'd put it up there with american chop suey/goulash/chili-mac, spam, etc.

Recent items of note:

Tracy is looking for advice on bottling leftover turkey soup to preserve it for later use. A couple of people have told her to get a pressure canner, a few more said "just freeze it, maid" because that is easier and I think we are operating from the assumption that everyone vaguely connected to Newfoundland surely has a deep freezer for this kind of thing. Darlene, however, said just bottle like you would beets or rabbit, no one has ever died from bottled food.  :yikes:

People have started talking about Christmas cookies already.

Luckily, Darlene was quickly showered with articles about botulism. The elk thing though, really interesting. I always presumed botulism was a quick death... but lucky for him, not always. What is more interesting to me is that he's obviously a fairly well-educated man, and not new to hunting either. It's easy to assume people generally know things like how important it is to be careful about canning, especially stuff that isn't acidic, because BOTULISM.

FWIW, the traditional way to bottle rabbit, moose, seal, duck, etc.  is typically: prepare the meat by removing all traces of skin and as much fat as possible, cut into cubes or strips, place a piece of salt fat (cured pork back fat) on the bottom of a sterilized jar, pack meat in as tightly as possible, add a tsp of salt, use a second piece of salt fat on top to tuck all the meat in below the neck of the jar... screw lids on finger-tight... immerse in a water bath at a low boil for 4-6 hours.  In recent years, people have started using pressure canners but most of the old folks are pretty dismissive, pointing out they made it to whatever age they are on pot-boiled bottled meat.

The turkey soup discussion is currently a "well worth the $130 for a pressure canner to have piece of mind" vs. "that's the same as all the company store bullshit you young people aren't supposed to have to deal with anymore" and "might as well just make new soup than spend $130 to bottle leftovers".

How much turkey soup did she make? I mean-- making soup is not a difficult process and it warms up an otherwise dreary winter kitchen. I agree with the people who say just freeze it!

I think it's the bread AND rice AND potato that overwhelms me. But I was just downstairs in our cafeteria and the soup of the day is chicken and rice (also contains potatoes) served with a dinner roll... so maybe it is just the way things are. I suspect if the soup had potato and not rice, I wouldn't think twice about the bread... if it had rice and not potato, I would still think the bread was odd.

for the anthropologists, this is an important photo from Loretta:

(https://scontent-lga3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/72273210_10157234228611075_2427542930475450368_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_oc=AQkEImmchTYrjdxV7NBjSwAqryB0-7CfOQBMJQB0ML67Jy3sKOkB_lcri-ywS41d-5o&_nc_ht=scontent-lga3-1.xx&oh=e01740312e7e4dd4cb4b102a6eddbf72&oe=5E3AEF77)

clockwise, from the bottom left:
beet salad
pasta salad*
vegetable salad
mustard salad
iceberg lettuce
sliced tomato

so, ignoring the pasta salad, the others make up the potato salad trinity here... all start with a base of potatoes mashed with mayonnaise, vinegar and a touch of sugar... for beet salad, mash in pickled beets, for vegetable salad, mash in sweet pickle relish and finely chopped cooked or canned vegetables of your choice, for the mustard salad, some people only add yellow mustard, some people, like Loretta, add yellow mustard to vegetable salad

not pictured, Loretta also made corn and pineapple salad, which is drained canned corn and drained canned pineapple tidbits, mixed with mayonnaise... another traditional "festive" salad, but not as common as the beet-veg-mustard potato salad trinity

*oh, and for those as obsessed by the pasta salad debates as I am, Loretta's recipe is "green pepper,celery,tomato,cheese,shredded carrot,mayo,italian dressing,french dressing,celery salt,garlic powder,pepper,sugar,italian spice..maybe more...its not a written recipe..only in my head"

that is all part of Loretta's assembly line for traditional "cold plate"...

it's just leftover roast meat and cold salads, really... turkey gets roasted here for ordinary sunday dinner fairly frequently... turkey is popular enough that some restaurants have a "soup of the day" AND a "turkey soup of the day"... so turkey cold plates are common year round...

also, cold plates are big for fundraisers in rural NL... the baby shower cold plate might have been to raise some cash for the new parents... but they are used to raise money for sports teams, churches, girl/boy scouts, playground equipment, libraries, etc. etc.

That was confusing-- for some reason I typed "meats" but I meant "meets".  :D So, I revise my mash-up to thanksgiving leftovers & american style bbq.

For fundraisers is this like a bake sale, where one person brings the yellow salad and another brings vegetable salad, and so forth? And then people buy it and eat it for dinner? Like, you'd buy 4 plates for your family and then eat them at home?

We have things like pancake breakfasts and spaghetti feeds here (I haven't seen one in a while but it's a concept I'm familiar with) but you eat at the event.

Is this something you would feel nostalgic for if you left the region? We really do  not have anything even remotely close to that here. Maybe Hawaiian plate lunch would be the most similar?

so for fundraisers, yes, a pile of volunteers bring parts of the dish (like Mary and Joanne might bring beet salad, John and Lorna might bring pasta salad)... generally some store will donate turkey, or some pot of money will buy the meats... and the plates get sold for pick up/takeout from a hall or church basement... usually paper plates and plastic wrap

moose sausage breakfasts are also common out here... like the pancake breakfasts, those are usually eat-in

regarding nostalgia, I never buy cold plates... I can admit to liking the beet salad, but who wouldn't love cold pickled beet mashed potato??  :d

in the cafeteria downstairs today, there were cold plates for sale... but without the potato salads

deli meats, one slice each of roast chicken (or turkey? hard to tell), roast beef, ham
1/2 hard boiled egg
4 cubes of marbled cheese
pasta salad
coleslaw
leaf of iceberg lettuce
slice of tomato

I did not buy one, but I did wish I had my phone with me to take a picture.

Generally speaking, I'm not into cole-slaw, pasta salad, or potato salad. Especially if they involve mayo. So, adding cold mashed potatoes to the mayo-based-salad mix just just...  :-X I actually think pickled beats or may would be a 100% improvement on the situation.

Jiggs dinner!

Jiggs dinner is essentially corned beef and cabbage. You take a hunk or two of salt beef and soak some of the salt out (or some people don't), boil it in a pot with potatoes, carrots, turnip (actually rutabaga), and quartered cabbage (or turnip greens in season)... optionally added to the pot: a cloth bag of split yellow peas and butter for pease pudding and/or a cloth bag of figgy duff (lard and molasses pudding with raisins, or blueberries in season)... the pease pudding and figgy duff "steam" in the pot.  That all cooks up together. When you serve it, however, you separate all the ingredients out onto their own serving dish: pease pudding stirred up with a bit more butter, figgy duff sliced, a bowl of cabbage (it will be yellow by now), a plate of carrots (be careful, they tend to break apart when handled because they are that overcooked), a platter with potatoes piled up on one side and turnip on the other, and a plate with salt beef cut into serving sizes.

Jiggs dinner is the local traditional side to a stuffed roast turkey. Sometimes it is served without the turkey.

In terms of household labour, jiggs dinner is interesting. All the ingredients store well, and it is a meal that was not uncommon in fishing camps of yesteryear, and is now pretty commonly served on offshore fishing vessels and the offshore oil rigs. It's the only thing I can think of that historically and currently is equally as likely to be prepared by men as by women, for feeding the family on Sundays. The turkey is still primarily women's work.

A couple of other notes: those potatoes are guaranteed to be well salted whether the beef was soaked or not. Some people drink the pot liquor (broth) like tea. Also very salty. Salt beef is disgusting. Cabbage cooked until the colour is gone is disgusting. Turnips are disgusting. Carrots that can't hold their own shape have no business being served as food. The only good things about jiggs dinner, and they are very good, are pease pudding and figgy duff.

Oh, and Chef Bonita is the first person I've seen make potato salad with butter and cream rather than mayonnaise... which is, frankly, probably more traditional since mayo requires oil.

today Loretta asked, "When you soak your beef do you change the water once it twice?"

by "beef" she means brined/corned beef... we call it salt beef here... sold mostly in buckets, sometimes vacuum-sealed
(https://whatsfordinnerdaddy.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/img_2957_1.jpg)

Tracy "I never soak my beef"
Loretta "That must make it salty"
Tracy "No not at all I add more salt to the pot."
Nicole "same here. Never soak or drained it, just tops it up after an hour or so"

Cathy "Twice but it depends on how salty you like your meal"

RandieLynn "I never change it I love the salt"

Tammy "I never change it either"

Harry "Never right in the pot beef is not like it use to be"

Elizabeth "I rinse it before I put it in the pot but I never change the water"

Kim "I never soak overnight and I never change the water, just keep adding water that's been boiled in kettle to keep the boil going"

Edith "Salt meat is not as salty as it used to be so I taste the water as it cooking and may have to drain half of the water of and add more water taste again before adding pudding and veggies"

Judy "If you put salt beef in warm water for a bit, you can keep rinsing and squeezing it to get some of the salt out. I never need to pour of the water when I do that. I think you ode s lot of flavor then."

Catherine "i just let it boil for an hour, taste it, if too salt drain some water and add more!"
Priscilla "that what I do I just add water if it’s a bit salt I never soak my beef takes the taste out of it lol"
Catherine "i had to drain the water from mine this morning ,salt as the Briny ocean lol ..but it was all good, not too salt after it was cooked"

Shirley "Boil for about an hour then pour off half,which I keep to add to my gravy liquid, then refill and continue boiling with my veggies."

Linda "I drain it half way and top up then boil"

Angie "It's not nearly as salty as it used to be. Salt cutbacks you know how it is. Lol"

Earl "Less fat on the meat means less salty it will be, the fat soaked in a lot of salt"

Paula "I never soak mine"

Rodger "Never change, drain 3/4, then add water and start cooking. Really depends on how much meat and how much veg you're going to be cooking."

Beverley "I change mine when I start to cook it, then, taste for salt after an hr. If too salty, I take off some of the water and put more cold on. NOTE: I save the salted water, just in case the pot water is a bit fresh when cooking vegies, so I add some of that."
Dorothy "I like your style! Best plan ever."
Loretta "That's what I usually do also"

Wendy "At least twice or it will be really salty"

Stephanie "Twice if you don't it will be way to salty and you wouldn't be able to get it."

Dorothy "I only do once, but I’m a salt junky."

Carol "I soak it in one water for 12 hours ....throw that water off and then the next water is for cooking . Comes out perfect"

Karla "I boil for a 1/2 hour, then drain and add new water. Boil for another couple of hours." Th

Jeff "All depends on your salt beef to veggies ratio really"

Lynn "Taste the water you will know"

Victoria "I do either/or, unless I cook jyst the right amount!! 😊"

Ashley "Never soak. Just boil and half way add more water depending on how salty it is."

Paulette "Boil halfway through taste water, if too salty, change it!"

Wanda "Don’t have to change water to often anymore it’s not as salt as it use to be.One time you could put the bucket in the freezer and it would never freeze don’t be long freezing now because it’s less salt"

Joy "Don't soak"

Tracy "Every one has a different opinion. But I use a big pot , so I don’t soak mine and I often add salt to the pot ."
Agnes "me too!"

Elaine "If the salt beef/salt riblets are vacuum packed, then they are not as salty as the beef in the 5 gallon buckets."

Anne "Put in soak overnight, when I get up I drain it"

Terry "I only change half the water, once."

Signe "I soak mine overnight in a big pot. In the morning I drain it and add more water and then boil for a long time, constantly adding water and it is always delicious with a perfect amount of salt"
Karen "Same"

Edward "ONE OVER NIGHT SOAK WILL DO"

Dan "I soak mine once for 1/2 hour cause I save the broth for drinking after."

Mary "I boil mine for about an hour, ladle out a 2 cup measure of salted water, drain most of the water off and then add fresh water . Boil again, taste the water, if too fresh I add in the salted water that I ladled out. Works great every time"

Augustus "Once"

James "Put screetch in it no change water"

Jeff "I boil 45-60 min taste water see how salty it is then either take some water out and add fresh or most of the time I leave it alone"

Lee "I do not soak at all, plus i do not drain the water while boiling.."

Isabella "To me it depends where you buy it , if in NF you certainly have to change water if on the main land i find it's not salted enough in the buckets so on times you don't need to soak ."

Jennie "I don’t soak it anymore. I just put it in the pot 2 hours before and top up the water as needed."

Joanne is wondering if it is too early to pickle eggs for Christmas.

Sharon says she is after doing up her Christmas pickled wieners the weekend.

Barry, Stacia, Edwina, and Anita all agree that the longer they pickle, the better they will taste.

Glenda wants a recipe for pickled wieners.

Sharon and Christine think the eggs will get rubbery if you do them too soon. They agree this is too soon.  Christine says two weeks before Christmas is perfect.

Debbie says just vinegar and water for wieners.

Dallas says he likes to put jalapenos in with his pickled wieners. He tried habaneros one year but it was too hot.

Joanne thinks she will stick to the eggs and not try hot pickled wieners.

Violet wants a recipe for pickled eggs.

Debbie says just like wieners but with pickling spice too.

Sheree wants a recipe for pickled wieners.

Mildred says boil them and stuff them into a jar, heat up half vinegar and half water with sugar and pickling spice and pour into jar, store in fridge.

Sheree wants to know if Mildred is talking about eggs or wieners and Mildred says either one, ducky.

Tim heats up the liquid from pickled beets and uses it for his eggs.

Glenda wants a recipe for pickled beets.

Mildred says you can pickle anything with her recipe.

I don't know. But you cannot walk into a convenience store in Newfoundland and not find a jar of pickled wieners on the counter, for sale individually.  Most dive bars also have them for sale. Pickled eggs too.

Admittedly, I love pickled eggs. Pickled wieners, not so much.

Now I kind of feel like I have to try one, just to see if it’s what I’m imagining.

I liked almost everything pickled...but I can't do eggs and wieners.  The huge jars sitting on the counter in convenience stores are unappetizing.  Now, if someone were to make their own and share with me, then I would try them!

You see them around here too, but only in funky little country store / gas station type places.  I like it when they are made with beets.  Perfect for deviled eggs.

Pickled eggs are fine. I agree with being turned off from the public bucket.

There used to be a really divey bar near Fenway (Fathers Too), they had an ongoing crockpot of hot dogs for a buck each. That was the only food you could get there. I ate one once, with bravado. But only once!

Google a photo of "century eggs" and you'll see what the Chinese do to poor, defenseless eggs in a pickling solution.

I did try one in Hong Kong and, while it wasn't as horrible as I thought it was going to be, I needn't try another.

For the record, smoked capelin are crazy delcious if you like fishy-fish. Best eaten heated up on the grill or over a fire while you are cooking other stuff, best to have a good crisp super-cold beer on hand too.

Not appropriate for reduced salt diets though.

boquerones are anchovy, right?

capelin and small (smelt-sized), dark-fleshed, and super-oily... so maybe? bigger for sure than the anchovy you get in a tin, but I think boquerones are large-ish for anchovy?


in Nfld, we eat the male capelin primarily (females are worth more money and are exported to southeast Asia mostly)... well, we eat any and all of them fresh, caught mostly by hand or by cast-net onshore when they are rolling (mating schools)... the ones caught at sea are separated male/female during processing... typically, they are salted and dried, or salted and smoked dry... the smoked ones make the best snacks... salted are best (IMO) soaked and pickled like herring

he stuffed it with the same stuffing he would use for chicken or turkey, which from the comments sounds like a popular option... but from the comments it seems that stuffing with mashed potatoes, cabbage roll filling, or even Kraft Dinner is acceptable.

for anyone interested in the recipe, the wieners are Vienna Sausage from a tin, and the jello is made from pickle juice

Clifford was not in favor of cod heads and declared that he was leaving the group over this.  Everyone else agreed that cod heads are "some good."

:D

did you catch the discussion about how Newfoundlanders must be very healthy because they always have three veg with their meals? I assumed someone was being cheeky, but reading through the comments it became apparent they were serious

I have been trying to figure out what three veg these are. My best guesses:
- potato, turnip, and cabbage cooked for too many hours too long in jiggs dinner
- potato (mashed), turnip (mashed), and frozen peas commonly served with some sort of overcooked meat
- potato (mashed), turnip (mashed with carrots)
- medley of frozen or canned peas, corn, and carrots

 ???

I need a Newfie Homestyle Cooking fix.

it's the time of year when the Newfoundland Mushrooom FB group and the Newfoundland Backyard Farmers FB group are filled with people posting poorly lit and badly focussed photos of mushrooms they picked asking, "is this edible?"

which amuses me to no end... like, what is the thought process? "I know mushrooms can make me die, so I'm going to ask a bunch of strangers on the internet if they think I should eat these mushrooms I know nothing about?"

There have been a lot of breakfast pictures lately... eggs and fried bologna mostly... but some people have been making their own version of some classic Newfoundland grocery store staples:

Debbie made some mustard pickles:

What is a mustard pickle?

it's like mixed sweet pickles (cucumber, onion, cauliflower, bell pepper, sometimes carrot) in mustard sauce

#notafan


there was a bit of a crisis back in 2016 when Smucker's announced they were going to stop making Zest and Habitant mustard  pickles https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/say-it-ain-t-so-social-media-uproar-over-discontinued-mustard-pickles-1.3477717

a local company stepped up production, and a lot of people have started making their own

the cod looks horrific to me... I mean, if you hadn't said cod, I would have thought some kind of failed egg dish


I admit I am at a loss to explain the obsession Newfoundlanders have of serving potatoes or other mashed things in ice-cream scoops.

The real hutsepot, prepared with the right kind of meat, is a horror memory from my childhood.  :vomit:  I am from the right region to have tasted the real thing.

If you badly want something from that region, give waterzooi a try.

How do you feel about Cobb salad?  :D  From my perfunctory googling, I didn't realize hutspot/hutsepot involved meat.  The recipe I looked at seemed like a way to make mashed potatoes more interesting by the addition of other veggies.

Hutsepot is the Dutch name, hochepot is the French name for the same basic dish, but there are many regional versions within Belgium (blingual Dutch/French) and very northern France.

It tastes so bad that I always added a lot of local mustard, Tierenteyn, to maks the taste. Mind you, Tierenteyn is the kind of mustard that brings tears to your eyes.

I think you are mixing it up with zurkelpuree, another horror from my childhood.
