Wild Fork visit

Post by Ed P

My granddaughter invited me to lunch today and after, we went to Wild
Fork. I had ordered from them once a while back this was the first visit
to a store.
Everything you see on line is available and everything is frozen.
Shopping is easy as all products are well marked and priced and
displayed in a freezer case. Meats, veggies, seafood, some prepared items
Everything is quality and some of the selections, a bit unusual. One
case has packages of ground meat. Your choice of Wagyu beef, elk,
ostrich, kangaroo, yak, elk.
I got some pineapple upside down cakes, single serving, scallops,
Berkshire pork chops, Wagyu strip steak and a few other items. GD
bought some kangaroo to try in the next couple of weeks.
Not a place to do the weekly shopping, but a fun place to get some
selections not easily found and all of good quality.

You didn't opt for a beef tongue or a rabbit?
I haven't seen a beef tongue at the grocery store in
ages. But I'm betting if I went to the Latin market
about 5 miles from me, they'd have them in stock.

I remember my mother telling me once she went to a store and saw what
looked like a beautiful piece of beef. Then she read the label and it
said "beef tongue" and it grossed her out so she didn't buy it.

Rabbit is over-rated. I'd rather just have fun watching the one hopping
around in my back yard than eat one.

I still have and use the pot, about 100 years old.

When I was a little kid, we walked down to the candy store for some
treats on Sunday. There was the National Enquirer in the front of the
store that said aluminum pans cause senility. That was rather odd.
What's odd is that I knew what aluminum was and that we had a Dutch oven
made of cast aluminum.

It must have left a big impression on me because I can still remember
pondering this aluminum cookware menace. 60 years later people still
haven't heeded the alarm exposed by that well-respected, journal of
medicine. What gives?

It's funny how it can take so many years for the science to accept
something that we have been hearing for years. I read just yesterday
that Red Dye No.3 has just been banned from food and drinks in the US
because of links to cancer. I remember hearing bad stuff about Red Dye
No.3 when our son was a young kid and that was 40 years ago.

Bout 40+ years ago my son was hyperactive at times. One of the triggers
was red dye. If he had a cherry water ice, in seconds he was off the wall.

We avoided artificial colors and food preservatives and it made a
difference.

I rarely bought junk food for my son but we were on a road trip down to
Massachusetts and got him a bag of some type of chips which were
obviously coloured with something red. He had been fine until he started
eating that stuff. Within minutes he was getting rowdy and troublesome.
It went on for about 10 minutes and then he crashed into a low and was
in tears. It was bizarre the way he went off on a high so quickly with
that stuff and how quickly he crashed. We never gave him that crap again.

I once was in charge of buying hot dogs for a fund raising event. I got
some pretty good ones from Sam's Club. They were all beef and at a very
attractive price. I got some pretty negative feedback from some of my
buddies in my club. That's okay, you live and you learn. My experience
has taught me one thing about fund raising in Hawaii - if you're in
charge of buying hot dogs for Hawaiian fund raisers, always buy
Redondo's Hawaiian Winners.

Maybe after a lifetime of eating bad hot dogs, people start to expect
that flavour. Just like some people want their ham to be pink, even
though that's not its natural colour.

The advantage of checking ingredient lists. Imagine all these
hyperactive Hawaiian kids and the parents don't know why because
they're too humble to look at ingredients.

By us, I mean the people that live in Hawaii i.e., local Hawaiians. Are
you a native Canadian? Native Hawaiians comprise only about 6% of the
population. My guess the situation is similar in Canada and that most of
the natives there are of mixed blood. Same thing in Hawaii. My guess is
that most of the Canadians want no part of the native culture.

The Hawaiian culture however, is flourishing as is the language. Olelo
Hawaii was in danger of extinction during the 70's. Why is that? It used
to be forbidden to teach the language in school.

My granddaughter's tutu is a Hawaiian Historian and respected kapuna -
she doesn't speak the Hawaiian language. Her generation never got the
chance to learn. The kids these days certainly are. In Hawaii, it is the
young people that are speaking Hawaiian. My granddaughters certainly
can.

Anybody can learn a language. If I had a reason, I could be speaking
fairly decent Maori in a year's time.

And then, when they're adults, they can't wait to leave for the

This is a correct statement. The dutch love to complain, they are cheap,
and they get orgasms when they have the chance to correct other people or
just generally poop on them. I'd rank them as slightly better than
russians when it comes to how fun it is to deal with them.

The last names tends to be hyphenated because marriage has fallen out of
fashion. My granddaughter's Hawaiian name was chosen by her grandmother.
That's a Hawaiian tradition. Her first name was picked by her mom, her
second name was her great-great-great grand mother's who was named after
an English Queen. Her third name is a Hawaiian name that came to her
grandma in a dream. She took her dad's last name. That's fine with me,
her name is way too long. I'm not sure what the full names of my other
two granddaughters are. I'd bet a nickel that it's shorter.

The modern Hawaiian names tend to be long because they have to pay
homage to the grandparents and parents. The elderly are held with great
respect on these islands.

that Red Dye No.3 has just been banned from food and drinks in the US
because of links to cancer. I remember hearing bad stuff about Red Dye

Yes, the FDA finally banned Red Dye No. 3 but it doesn't take affect

The Hawaiians and Samoans seem to be okay with each other. There is some
friction between the Samoans, Tongans, and Micronesians. They don't like
each other. I don't know why that is. If there's a war going on though,
I wouldn't know about it.

NY TIMES:

Trump’s Targets Fear ‘Retribution’ He Promised in Second Presidency

"As Donald J. Trump returns to office, the critics, prosecutors and
perceived enemies who sought to hold him accountable and banish him from
American political life are now facing, with considerable trepidation, a
president who is assuming power having vowed to exact vengeance...

Mr. Trump has promised to investigate and punish adversaries, especially
those involved in his four prosecutions and the congressional
investigation of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol...

Those threats, along with his stated intention to grant clemency to at
least some of those who carried out the Jan. 6 assault, have many in
Washington and elsewhere on edge, fearing not just government action
against them but that the telegraphing of his wishes has created an
environment of unpredictable, free-range retribution by his
supporters...

People close to Mr. Trump acknowledge that they are engaged, to an
extent, in a game of psychological warfare, exacting payback for failed
impeachments, congressional inquiries and criminal prosecutions that Mr.
Trump has long labeled wch hunts...

And they are enjoying putting a scare into those who, in their view,
hunted them for years...

The New York Times contacted more than two dozen of Mr. Trump’s most
outspoken critics and perceived enemies to ask about their level of
concern...

Despite having spoken out in the past or having participated in
proceedings against him, almost all declined to address their worries
publicly, saying speaking out now could make them even more conspicuous
targets..

But speaking on the condition of anonymity, they laid out their
concerns...

Some said they were worried that the Justice Department or F.B.I. could
launch internal or criminal investigations into actions they took during
the course of their work, even if they acted legally and in good
faith...

The fact that Kash Patel, Mr. Trump’s choice to run the F.B.I., has
published an extensive enemies list, has only intensified their
anxieties...

One public critic of Mr. Trump — who played a prominent role in one of
the efforts to hold him accountable during his first term — said in an
interview that he recently bought a gun for the first time in his life
because he was afraid that Trump supporters emboldened by a president
willing to pardon them will attack him and his family at home..."

Trump the Coke-Drinker Gets the Ultimate Honor

"The CEO of Coca-Cola presented Trump with a commemorative bottle of
Diet Coke for his inauguration, a gesture that speaks to the changing

Given Trump’s legendary attachment to the beverage, it must have been as

Regardless of the politics of the day, Coke will surely endure. Nearly

"Hawaiian Punch" is a marketing strategy. If there's pineapple in it,
then it's not Hawaiian. OTOH, da Hawaiians love McDonald's fruit punch.

I remember my mother telling me once she went to a store and saw what
looked like a beautiful piece of beef. Then she read the label and it
said "beef tongue" and it grossed her out so she didn't buy it.

I used to see beef tongue all the time but have not seen it for sale
for a long time.

We never had rabbit when I was a kid and it had a lot to do with my
father having been raised on a rabbit ranch during the depression and
eating way too much rabbit. I have cooked rabbit. It's not bad. Stew it
like a chicken, but it is hardly worth the extra money. A local grocery
store used to carry it regularly but the last time I looked at them they
were $35-40 for about the same amount of meat as $10 chicken.

Why would I sell it if it's running around for free in them hills

I haven't seen a beef tongue at the grocery store in

about 5 miles from me, they'd have them in stock.

When I first went to France I was very impressed with
the French love of rabbits as pets, it seemed like every
household kept a pen of them in the back garden. Huge fat
rabbits lovingly fed fresh greens and herbs foraged by
their owners.

LOL thinking about a terrific Scottish film I saw years ago, Local Hero.
It was about an American oil company employee who is sent to buy up a
small village on the coast where they want to install an oil shipping
terminal. There are some great characters. While driving the American
to the village they accidentally hit a rabbit and injure it. They take
it with them to the hotel and keep it in the room. They go down to for
supper and thoroughly enjoy their dinner until they are told it is
casserole de lapin.

We never had rabbit when we were kids because my father had eaten way
too much of on growing up on a rabbit ranch during the depression. We
had one as a pet. If you have what it takes to slaughter young rabbits
they would be pretty cheap eating. They live on vegetable scraps and
grass, You can stick them in a movable cage with a chicken wire base
and move it around the lawn and let them mow it for you.

My mother used to make porridge almost every morning. She would make it
and keep it warm in a double boiler for us after my father had gone to
work. We would have ours and what every we did not eat the rabbit got.
He loved oatmeal.

There was a neighbor when I was child that raised rabbits for

I haven't looked in several years but at one time I did see Pel-Freez

Fork. I had ordered from them once a while back this was the first visit

Everything you see on line is available and everything is frozen.
Shopping is easy as all products are well marked and priced and
displayed in a freezer case. Meats, veggies, seafood, some prepared
items
Everything is quality and some of the selections, a bit unusual. One
case has packages of ground meat. Your choice of Wagyu beef, elk,
ostrich, kangaroo, yak, elk.
I got some pineapple upside down cakes, single serving, scallops,
Berkshire pork chops, Wagyu strip steak and a few other items. GD
bought some kangaroo to try in the next couple of weeks.
Not a place to do the weekly shopping, but a fun place to get some

I've cooked and eaten both, tender and delicious. One
of the most memorable dishes I've ever eaten, was rabbit
in wine with herbs and sultanas (Italian restaurant).

When I married, many butchers in the UK still sold wild
game; they displayed the heads- skin-feathers on corpses
of rabbits and pheasants hanging in the fresh air outside
the shop window. I worked in a butcher shop but couldn't
cook. Every day after work my boss sent me home with some
meat and instructions how to cook it. He was my
introduction to rabbit (and to ox tongue, which he cooked
and pressed himself and sold sliced).

When I was a child wearing winter layers of wool
jersey, wool vest and wool liberty bodice, as Mother
undressed us she used to peel off the layers saying "skin
a rabbit".

Years after the butcher shop, I'd bought a rabbit for
dinner; as I merrily peeled off its skin (very easy to do)
I heard Mother's voice in my head and the thought occurred
to me "True; this looks just like a little raw baby". I
was very pregnant at the time so this was not a happy
thought. I didn't buy/cook/eat rabbit again until I was
done with making little babies.

I haven't cooked an ox tongue from scratch for years;it
used to be a delicious (and cheap) family meal when I was
feeding six. Tongue, beef cheek, oxtail, used to be very
cheap cuts, and all so delicious they deserve the longer
time it takes to prepare and cook them.

This is proven by science! I had rabbit sausage a few months back, and it
did not impress. Tasted like bland chicken sausage with perhaps a bit more
texture. Will not buy again.

If we went to the town for an afternoon's shopping, my Mother
would often buy some ham and slices of tongue for "tea". Tongue
is delicious!!!!
As for rabbit, we often had rabbit stew during harvest time. Then
a Myxomatosis plague hit and we didn't have rabbit again for several years.

I haven't seen beef tongue, where I shop, since the late Seventies. I used
to cook it occasionally, although my wife wasn't a fan. I have seen lamb
tongue since then but didn't buy it. She doesn't like lamb either.
Having learned a little about cooking since then, I'm pretty sure that
beef tongue would make a fine stew.
Simmer for three hours, save the liquid, remove the skin, coarsely dice
the meat and make a stew. What could go wrong?
Just don't tell "others" what they're eating. ;)

Janet

2025-01-16 13:20:30 UTC

skin,

By then, the meat is perfectly cooked Curl it round to
fit in a 2-pint bowl. Strain and reduce the cooking
liquid; adjust seasoning, pour it onto the tongue. It will
set to a perfect gel. Place a small plate on the tongue
and put a heavy weight on the plate ( a clean stone will
do). Cool, refrigerate, turn out onto a plate, slice
thinly.

Excellent with salad, in sandwiches, or served with a
creamy parsley sauce and chips.

Beef tongue is a staple of Korean BBQ as is tripe and sometimes beef

Americans don't care for that kind of stuff but they thought it was the
bee's knees. I had a piece of gizzard - it was tough getting through it.

Archaic US slang, popular in the 1920's:

"Where did the phrase "the bee's knees" come from?

Some say the phrase was coined in the 1920's in America where they came
up with lots of quirky quotes like 'snake's hips' and 'cat's pyjama's' –
nonsense phrases that rhymed and were to do with animals and clothing...
it means to be excellent or of an extremely high standard: Have you
tried this ice cream? It's the bee's knees, it really is...!!!"

USAGE:

"The 2024 election of Donald Trump and the utter humiliation of his
enemies is "the bee's knees"..."
