I'm craving......

[Cecilie1200]

Meringue. Now that I think about it, I despise meringue. I love lemon cream pies, but won't touch lemon meringue pies. And don't even get me started on meringue cookies.

Gotta agree, though I have had meringue and cream mixed, not that's good, the gooey cuts the cream and the lemon cuts the sweet.


also can't stomach hotdogs anymore, so much filler that I'm not sure its a meat product.

brats and other sausages can be on point though

I like the Polish sausage with the cheese inside. Actually one of my favorite breakfast foods, oddly enough.

What I'm craving right now: tamales. Especially green corn tamales.

never been a fan of the 'cheese inside' stuff

actually kinda lost my taste for cheese, none of it seems to taste good anymore except for blue cheese, but it's so hard to find bc that doesn't suck.

haven't been able to find tamales in years

I live in Tucson. People come up to me outside the supermarket and ask if I want to buy some of their abuela's tamales and tortillas. I've had them come door-to-door in my neighborhood selling them. It's tamale heaven.

Well if you want perogies, come to PA, we can fry you some brats to go with them.

If you know what a perogie is, I'll be shocked since spell check thinks I'm trying to spell 'Perrier'

Pierogi, and I quite like them.

I'll bring you some tamales along.

How about blintzes? Do you have blintzes?

My mom is Polish, so I know what pierogies are!

boiled or fried?

My mom boiled and then fried them. Did you know they are considered a "Polish stuffed dumpling?" So, you do like dumplings! Lol.

no, I like perogies, stuffed dumplings, and not dumplings

boiled ones are kinda gross, but fry them in bacon grease with some onions and you have a meal fit for me, mine, go away, no sharing

My ex-husband thought I was nuts when we first got married and he saw that I stored bacon grease to use in recipes. Then I started cooking for him regularly, and he stopped questioning my methods.

 

[Cecilie1200]

I make empanadas too. You can make them sweet or savory.

I like making medieval meat pasties.

I love beef stew with dumplings! I just make them from Bisquick mix. Easy and quick!

never understood the popularity of dumplings, never could stomach them.

What's not to like about them? They are delicious!

Two words: soggy bread.

I won't even use bread to sop up gravy when I eat. Can't even watch my family do it, although I'm thoughtful enough to bake no-knead artisan bread to serve them with stews and chowders.

They aren't really like bread to me. They are like their own thing. I can't eat beef stew without dumplings.

Yeah, that picture up thread looked like biscuits. Dumplings are more like a pasta consistency.

I never had dumplings in stew though. Always in some kind of chicken dish.

Now my dad always put the stew on rice. I think they did stuff like that to make the food go further. You know we had a big family so the bread and butter, dumplings, rice all made the meal stretch.

My mother in law was Polish and she introduced me to a whole new way of cooking, delish and really different from my Irish family. My MIL actually separated the spaghetti and the sauce for example.

There are all different kinds of dumplings. If you want to make them like the ones in the picture, just use Bisquick and follow the directions. They come out looking just like the picture. That's funny you mention the Irish and Polish because my mom is Polish and my dad is Irish (along with a few other nationalities LOL)

I could go for some US Navy issues mid rats ravioli

the cooks couldn't mess it up so they were always yummy

"mid rats" ravioli??? That doesn't sound very appetizing.

Before I die I would also like to try an IN-N-OUT burger.....

My dad did a lot of the cooking and both parents worked. We all had to take care of household things, cleaning, laundry, fighting with each other. They didn't want us messing with the stove so one of the parents always cooked.

We made our own lunches and got ourselves up, dressed and off to school. It was all very organized for a bunch of kids, you know? I'm still very organized so being on our own was helpful. I never was that great a cook though until I met my Polish mother in law. Now I'm just decent but not exactly great.

They're really good, although the nearest one to my house is right across the street from a Freddy's Steakburger, which I prefer, so I don't eat In-N-Out much. Be sure to try the secret menu.

My parents both tended to work late schedules, so my older siblings and I would get up, get ourselves ready, and head out to catch the school bus without bothering them. Helps a lot to have older children who can ride herd on the littles. My 20-year-old picks up a lot of the slack for child care with his 7-year-old brother.

Midnight rations

when a sub is underway there are 4 meals a day. Mid rats is usually leftovers, basically the crap that wasn't eaten is served again in hopes that you eat it. Ravioli is what we got if there wasn't enough leftovers, and it was actually really good.

We might still have these here, they were kind of a 50s malt shoppe theme but the prices were high for a hamburger place even if they tried to pass it off as a steakburger.

That makes sense. I couldn't imagine what it meant either.
