Subj : Different Cuisines [1] To : Dave Drum From : Ruth Haffly Date : Thu Mar 21 2024 12:24:20 Hi Dave, DD> That sent me to the search engines. I don't get peanut flavour in the DD> stuff I get (It's Your Churn brand) I find that they do sell a "Peanut DD> Moose Tracks" variety - which I have never tried. The disclaimer on DD> the "Extreme Moose Tracks" says "Contains milk, soy. Produced in a DD> facility that uses wheat, egg, peanuts and tree nuts." It's Your Churn DD> is made by Denali Flavors. RH> I don't recall what brand of ice cream this was, but we were in western RH> NY when we got it. I'm half inclined to say Hershey's but not 100% sure RH> on it. DD> So back to the search engine - I've never seen Hershey's I scream. DD> Which makes sense now that I know they are a east and northeast U.S. DD> company. (The Ice Cream part anyway) Yes, we have seen it down here (NC) from time to time but the last place that we knew that had it closed a while back. A new bbq place opened in the same location but without the ice cream bar. DD> Of course, that branched me to: DD> Denali Flavours is a Wisconsin company which originated Moose Tracks - DD> to wit: Moose Tracks is a branded flavor of ice cream owned and DD> licensed by Denali Flavors Inc. (first made in 1988) The name "Moose DD> Tracks" DD> came from a mini golf course in Marquette, Michigan located in the DD> Upper Peninsula of Michigan, which was right down the street from DD> Jilbert's Dairy, the first ice cream shop to carry Original Moose DD> Tracks. DD> Many different brands license the Moose Tracks flavor including DD> Strohs, Belmont (ALDI), Market Pantry (Target), Private Selection DD> (Kroger Co.), Dean's, Signature Select (Safeway/Albertsons), Mayfield, DD> Kawartha Dairy Company, and Publix. DD> No mention of Hershey's. And you, of course, are correct that peanut DD> butter cups were a part of the original Moose Tracks - The Original DD> Moose Tracks product description is as follows, "vanilla ice cream DD> with peanut butter cups and famous Moose Tracks fudge" DD> According to Denali's web site there is no peanut butter in the DD> "Extreme! Moose Tracks - A chocolate lover's dream of Chocolate ice DD> cream, melt- DD> in-your-mouth Moose Tracks Fudge-filled cups, and Famous Moose Tracks DD> Fudge!" Now that one sounds like one I'd order. Last night's cone was chocolate on the bottom, raspberry on the top. The young lady that works Wednesday nights knows my regular is chocolate bottom, something else on top. She was training in a new worker last night. RH> starts cooling off, I'll pull out all the stops and do sauerbraten with RH> red cabbage and (usually) noodles. Eating out, OTOH, we'll range all RH> over the planet. DD> Living single - my housemate seldom is on my meal schedule, nor does DD> he partake of wehat I make except on rare occasions - I tend to do DD> very simple meals for the most part with the occasional foray into DD> something more elaborate that freezes well. RH> I cook for me and Steve most of the time. This morning/afternoon we RH> were down south of Raleigh, stopped at a Peruvian restaurant. Steve had RH> a 1/4 chicken (dark meat), maduros (sweet plantains) and black beans. I RH> had a 1/4 chicken (white meat), maduros and green beans, brought about RH> half of it home. I just don't eat a lot any more so we have a lot of RH> leftovers at home, take homes at restaurants. DD> Plantains are not bananas, but they are close relatives. They are DD> starchy, less sweet, and usually cooked before eating. And since I DD> have a bananana allergy I believe I'll have to pass. Smart idea, don't need any more trips to the ER. DD> Sauerbraten is fairly easy and can be made with slow cooker - as I did DD> when I made the venison sauerbraten for the Y2K picnic that I hosted. RH> I used to use the crock pot but switched to a dutch oven some years RH> ago. Not sure why, but it seems to have a better flavor. (G) DD> I can't use my current Dutch oven on my stove. It's a flat-top DD> electric and the pot has cast-in stubby legs that hold it off of the DD> heat just DD> enough to screw things up. At my previous place I had electric coils DD> so it worked just fine. I've got both cast iron and stainless steel dutch ovens. The place we rented in WF had the old electric coils, bought a new stove when we bought the house and this one has the flat top. If I had my druthers, I'd ruther have a gas stove but Steve has nixed that because of my asthma. BTW, the fall RV/radio net rally will be in Pigeon Forge, TN so I've already told Steve that we're going to visit the Lodge outlet. DD> Title: Dirty Dave's Sauerbraten Marinade DD> Categories: Marinades, Rubs, Herbs DD> Yield: 1 Recipe DD> MMMMM----------------------------RUB--------------------------------- DD> 2 ts Salt DD> 1 ts Ground ginger RH> I don't do a rub. DD> Fair enough. I do .... mostly for the flavour. DD> MMMMM--------------------------MARINADE------------------------------- DD> 2 1/2 c Water DD> 2 c Cider or red wine vinegar DD> 1/3 c Sugar DD> 2 md Onions; peeled, sliced, DD> - divided DD> 2 tb Mixed pickling spice; DD> - divided DD> 1 ts Whole peppercorns; divided DD> 8 Whole cloves; divided DD> 2 Turkish bay leaves; divided DD> 2 tb Oil RH> I use bay leaves, juniper berries, whole peppercorns, whole allspice RH> berries and whole cloves in my spicing. Also usually use red wine or RH> cider vinegar (depends on what's on hand, sugar, onions and water. DD> I mostly stay away from juniper berries unless they are in a spice mix DD> already and not prominent in the flavour. DD> TO MAKE GRAVY: Strain cooking juices, discarding onions DD> and seasonings. Add enough reserved marinade to the DD> cooking juices to measure 3 cups. Pour into a large DD> saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until DD> gravy is thickened. Slice roast and serve with gravy. RH> I do a gingersnap gravy, about a dozen of them crushed with a bit of RH> sugar to a couple of cups of the cooking liquid. I usually do a double RH> batch of gravy so I have some to freeze with the left over meat. >> CONTINUED IN NEXT MESSAGE << --- Catch you later, Ruth rchaffly{at}earthlink{dot}net FIDO 1:396/45.28 ....
