I remember that I really did like "ImStillMags" recipe for Pineapple Au Gratin which I did make and try. One recipe that I think is really odd that I do make and like is this from a 1904 recipe book. What's yours? Egg Balls. 2 hard boiled eggs 1 raw egg 3TBS fine cracker crumbs or flour 1/2 tsp salt dash of cayenne a little grated nutmeg a few drops of lemon juice Rub the boiled egg yolks very smooth ( I use my fine zester) Mince the boiled egg whites very fine mix together with the seasoning, add enough of the slightly beaten raw egg and 1 TBS of the crumbs to bind, and form into balls the size of a nutmeg (about 3/4" in diameter). Roll the egg balls in the rest of the beaten raw egg and then roll in the rest of the crumbs or flour. Place in fridge for a few minutes until flour/cracker coating is set. Drop into the boiling soup and let cook for about 5 minutes, or you can fry to a golden brown. |

I don't have the actual recipe. Don't have that cookbook any more. But it would be Hominy Croquettes. I baked mind. Didn't fry. Nobody else who tried them liked them but I loved them! |

I miss my mother's chicken soup. She would add some of the offal to
the soup. My favorite parts were (and still are) the chicken ovaries and the neck. In China I had a dish made up of chicken kidneys. It was excellent. In France I had a fantastic pizza where the main ingredient was chicken gizzards. http://www.richardfisher.com |

Yes, I like them fried too. I usually cooked them in a pressure cooker for a few minutes, then drained and floured before frying. Very tender that way. I also love chicken liver just baked with salt and pepper, but your batter fried sounds good too. Cheri |

Here's mine...it sounds awful, but when my mom made it in the 40's when I was little, I loved it: Mix some Lemon Jello according to directions. Take nine whole apricots and remove the pits carefully. In the space where the pits were, stuff in a mixture of peanut butter and crisp fried bacon, crumbled. Close up the apricots, enclosing the stuffing. Pour the Jello into a nine inch square dish; when it is about half set, so the fruit will stay suspended, put in the apricots so that each one has its own square space. Let Jello set until solid. N. ( wasn't it Elvis who liked peanut butter and bacon sandwiches?) |

One > recipe that I think is really odd that I do > make and like is this from a 1904 recipe > book. What's yours? I have always loved to try "unusual" recipes, such as bread salad (made with cubes of buttered bread and surprisingly good!) and also Popcorn Salad (very good) a quick bread made with baby prunes, Chocolate Sauerkraut Cake, a molded gelatin salad with beets, ribs cooked with root beer and stew with grape jelly in it, Peanut Butter Baking Powder Biscuits, and Kitty Litter Dessert, which all sound strange, but actually all were quite good. This is probably one of the most unusual things I ever made that we liked real well Lima Bean Cake 1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen lima beans 3 egg whites 3 egg yolks 1 cup sugar - divided 1/2 cup ground walnuts 1/2 cup flour 2 tbsp. bread crumbs 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tbsp. lemon juice 1 tsp. rum extract Cook lima beans, according to directions on the package, until very soft. Put through a food mill, or ricer, discarding skins - measure 1 cup puree. Beat egg whites till soft peaks form, gradually beat in 1/2 cup sugar and beat until mixture forms stiff peaks. Set aside. Beat egg yolks and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until thick and lemon-colored; add lima beans and remaining ingredients, blending well. Fold in beaten egg whites. Turn into a greased and paper-lined 9x9 inch square pan. Bake at 350º for about 30 to 35 minutes, until tests done. Frost with a lemon butter frosting. Serves 8 and only 210 calories per serving.

Unusual recipe my sons like -- I won't try it -- spaghetti tacos. You
have only heard of these if you have Nickelodeon age children. It's just what it sounds like, spaghetti served in taco shells. It's a fun thing to do for a kids' lunch when you have leftover spaghetti. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/06/di...anted=all&_r=0 http://tinyurl.com/d3qojd5 Unusual recipes I like -- Georgia cracker salad, which I have also seen called mock lobster salad. Mix diced fresh tomatoes with crumbled Saltine crackers, black pepper, and enough mayonnaise to moisten. Cornbread salad -- crumbled leftover cornbread, diced tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, mayonnaise Tara |

I never have used it for a salad though, as is so sweet, but have always served it as a dessert. I've made it also with raspberry Jell-O and frozen raspberries in place of the strawberries. Yum!

I didn't know that's why people would use powdered sugar. I'll try it sometime. -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |

I use granulated and last time this was discussed I was sure mine lasted a week in refrigerator-- but I wasn't certain. The next time I made it- I made certain that a cup of it was saved for a week. No weeping. I don't do anything special- whipping cream, a splash of vanilla + some sugar- and whip within a few strokes of butter. I keep it in a rubbermaid tub. Jim |
