What's for Dinner?

[Flicka]

OK Lolly..I think I may have it straight now. It seems there really is quite a difference between Australians..Americans...and for sure those nice Swedish people.
I'm getting ready to have some scrambled chicken eggs...hog bacon...wheat toast..and coffee.
Do you have chickens down under?..or is it Ostrich eggs for breakfast? What is your bacon made out of? What do you toast? English muffins? I suppose it's tea for breakfast.:coffee:

Went to the farmer's market a while back and they had locally produced ostrich... Which is really good meat by the way, and sort of a vintage choice for me since they had an ostrich farm in the neighbourhood (with a U!) where I live around 1900 (but not for the meat, but for plumes for ladies' hats). But still not the first thing I'd connect Sweden with really.

Randomly, they have bear in my local supermarket - and a stuffed reindeer, marketing bread. Which reminds me; Rudolph, now that's yummy eating.

We have small ostrich farms nearby,too,although I've never tasted it. Also small heards of farm raised American Buffalo(lean good meat). No bear meat in markets. Hasn't been bear in my state in a couple hundred years. WhiteTail deer are abundant and hunted each year..along with wild turkey..pheasant..quail..duck..and geese. Many small lakes for fresh water fishing. Bass..crappy..bluegill..catfish and some walleye mainly. No wild game is sold in markets unless the rare specialty store. No raindeer here except on Christmas Eve night.

How do Crappy taste?

 

[jamespowers]

Koalas aren't bears, they're marsupials. Oh and by the way, kangaroos are delicious. I will have a 'roo steak for dinner in the near future. Something like this

It's a lovely colour, isn't it HoosierDaddy?

I think I would rather think of it as a bear rather than as a large rat---marsupial. It makes eating it much easier.

How do Crappy taste?

Oh man ... I haven't had fresh crappie in years. Pan fried with cabbage and apple. Mmmm....

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Some Crappie sounds real good right now.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

How do Crappy taste?

Yeah..I mean't Crappie (it was late). They do taste good..!

Fresh Crappie eh? lol lol lol

They taste like the name in my experience but I don't like many kinds of fish anyway.

 

[danofarlington]

Crappies are a light, sweet fish. Fresh water fish is a lot more delicate than ocean fish. Maybe more flavor than trout.

 

[Gregg Axley]

We call them"crap-e" in some parts of the state, and "crop-e" in others.
Not sure what the real pronounciation is.

Tonight it was overpriced steak at a nice restaurant, with friends and family. The atmosphere was worth it, to get out....

Out here they pronounce it the second way but I still pronounce it the first way.

Me too.
Never had them though, and don't intend to.
I had Bream (pronounced Brim down here) before, but it tasted really "fishy" to me.
Now I understand fish should taste like fish, I got that, but this was really strong.
Tonight it will be Catfish fillets with hushpuppies. I've never made hushpuppies but it can't be too hard. With half of them, I plan on adding corn and peppers.

And hot sauce.

 

[Gregg Axley]

Oh there was hotsauce. I have a 12oz bottle. Of course it's the same height at the Gatorade bottle I drink out of (reuse them a few times for tea, etc). I can't tell you how many times I've watched tv and grabbed the bottle, almost drinking out of it before I catch myself.
Since we did fries, I decided against hushpuppies. Too many carbs.

 

[nice hat dude!]

I heard a rumor that if your fish or seafood tastes fishy that it's not fresh.Anyone have any insight on this?

 

[fortworthgal]

Last night we had mozzarella-stuffed meatballs and fettucine with marinara sauce.

Tonight, chicken with a white wine cream sauce. Probably brown rice and a veggie on the side.
