Save a lot had them...so there you go....where there's a will there's a way...hunt over... Post it cause that's what gives here in Thanksgiving this season...

Title: Re: It's time Post by: takncarabizniz on 11 12, 17, 12:30:14:PM I am sorry, I don't have a gumbo recipe. My brother-in-law made blue crab gumbo once, just once, for us down in Texas. It took the finish off my coffee table when one of the kids dribbled. I have had it one other time at a real Creole restaurant and it was good, sausage and shrimp, but I am not gonna lie, not a big fan.
Yes sunshine, it has okra...I am with you, it's slimy...but when breaded and deep fried, dipped in ranch sauce, it's not half bad, LOL... Title: Re: It's time Post by: emilyB on 11 12, 17, 12:40:06:PM Never had gumbo either so you had better come up with a good recipe for us, luv. I bet none of you have had steak and kidney pie either, lol. I make a good one. Did I hear one of you say, "I'll pass on that one", lol.
Title: Re: It's time Post by: luvtimes on 11 12, 17, 01:13:45:PM Lived in New Orleans and that was one of their main dishes...
okra is in it but everything else they put in it wipes okra totally out the picture.... But honestly you can omit the okra and put all the other ingredients is in it it's a wonderful winter dish... Although I do understand that not loving some vegetables because if you put green peas or asparagus on any of my plates I'll consider that an act of War.. Real fight...seriously... Lol Title: Re: It's time Post by: sunshine on 11 12, 17, 02:49:53:PM I will eat pretty much anything...except okra and pea soup.
Title: Re: It's time Post by: takncarabizniz on 11 12, 17, 06:13:05:PM Okay emily, I'll say...I'll pass on that one...
Take the kidney out and I might try it, LOL... Title: Re: It's time Post by: luvtimes on 11 12, 17, 07:44:55:PM Emily...i don't think so...but I may try it one day maybe..
Lol Title: Re: It's time Post by: sunshine on 11 13, 17, 04:54:27:AM Have any of you eaten scrambled calf brains?
Title: Re: It's time Post by: luvtimes on 11 13, 17, 07:45:47:AM I don't want to think about it...lol
Brains...no way! Title: Re: It's time Post by: takncarabizniz on 11 13, 17, 11:31:24:AM Again, no thank you.
I grew up in Montana and I won't even try Rocky Mountain oysters... Title: Re: It's time Post by: sunshine on 11 13, 17, 11:50:30:AM Never tried that, taken...and won't.
Title: Re: It's time Post by: takncarabizniz on 11 13, 17, 12:01:43:PM There are some things best left to their original purposes...LOL
Title: Re: It's time Post by: emilyB on 11 13, 17, 12:07:09:PM Offal is what it sounds like.....Awful! Tripe and onions were my Dad's favorite but when I went to the butcher's shop with my mum, the look of it would make you turn and run. We used to eat calves liver and onions, but now I couldn't. It's hard enough to eat a steak. Veal was a staple too until I grew up and found out how they bled baby calves to death to have veal and then I just couldn't.
Title: Re: It's time Post by: takncarabizniz on 11 13, 17, 02:48:28:PM I love veal. It's so tender and yes, while it is young cattle that are used, it's generally done to thin herds of those males that will not be used for breeding.
More barbaric in older times, but much more the way of the industry now. Title: Re: It's time Post by: luvtimes on 11 13, 17, 03:41:33:PM Love oysters I guess that's from living in Maryland and New Orleans again where you can buy them fresh.
deep-fried or out of the shell raw... I love all kinds of fish... Haven't tried octopus or eel but willing to. Even snake. Title: Re: It's time Post by: sunshine on 11 13, 17, 03:48:29:PM When I was a kid about 10 or so, we took a 4H trip to the slaughterhouse...can you imagine doing that today? They had us watch while they took a sledgehammer to the cow's head and explained where to hit the cow...awful!
Title: Re: It's time Post by: takncarabizniz on 11 14, 17, 02:51:01:PM LOL, we went to the dairy farm...it was about the same as we watched the milking process and the separation of calf from mother was wrenching.
I once worked on a demolition crew...we worked to take down a slaughterhouse...after something like 40 years defunct, the smells were still there...ugh... I made a penny a brick cleaning and stacking bricks on pallets. We clamored all of the downed structure, no hard hats, no safety harnesses, taking down walls by hand...I think I was 15...those were the days, when kids could earn a buck and OSHA had no idea what was going on, LOL...was OSHA even around in the 70's? Title: Re: It's time Post by: luvtimes on 11 14, 17, 04:22:39:PM Watching what I eat these days. I've always loved fish and will stay with that for the holiday...turkey won't be in the table for sure...
Don't think I will even accept plates of it...and if I do Bigum will love it... Title: Re: It's time Post by: sunshine on 11 14, 17, 05:00:47:PM I love turkey but I don't think I want to cook one this year....still thinking on it.
Taken...when we were kids we had to pick corn, berries, etc.. by hand for hours on end. Title: Re: It's time Post by: emilyB on 11 14, 17, 08:08:39:PM I've never touched an oyster..................could be because my brother told me that it was really snot and that was enough to stay in my mind forever.
