This is a long thread for some Mish-Mash.

Yeah... I'm done.

Shoot, we haven't even gotten to the part where Ken comes on and tells SGI he's full of it, and lights me up too for good measure.

The Greco-Roman wrestling has not yet begun.

Anyway, the key to good cooking is salt. And butter, but mostly salt. When food tastes bland, typically all it needs is a pinch of salt to bring it alive.

Somewhere in the last twenty years "salt" became the red-headed step-child in the food world.

I like Ken actually. I usually always learn something from him.

He might still be enjoying to cool mountain air and a cup of coffee with the wildlife.

I like Ken, too - he and I are old pals. The kind of pals who enjoy yanking each other's chain.....

We just came back from Lancaster, PA....the heart of Pennsylvania Amish and Mennonite communities. We had amazing food while there. You're correct in that it isn't highly seasoned, but the ingredient and preparation are top notch.

My Dad's family is from that region, so we still make some traditional PA Dutch food: Chicken Corn Soup with rivels (mini dumplings dropped in to hot broth), Stuffed Pig Belly (yes, it is just what you'd expect it to be, but stuffed with spicy sausage, cubed potatoes and cabbage), etc. I picked up a ShooFly Pie while there, and I remember my grandmother making it.

There's another food I will pass by. Way too sweet. About the only way I can eat it is in a bowl with black coffee poured over it.

Isn't ShooFly pie basically Pecan Pie without the pecans? Karo syrup, eggs, and sugar?

Hence a reason I dont' eat Pecan Pie.

I think they use the dark Karo.

Molasses, not Karo.

Molasses, not Karo.

That explains it.

Along with MSG

Are Amish and PA Dutch the same thing? Because PA Dutch restaurants have the best food EVER, so not sure why that wouldn't translate to their recipes.

That is really,
