General Peasant cuisine

[Lord Vutulaki]

Im a big fan of poor people's food, Id much rather a plate of cheap cuts of meat cooked properly over a bed of rice than a fancy restaurant meal.

In my endeavour to find new recipes I stumbled across this old darling of a lady, she just looks like she knows how to cook and at 91 having fed people through the depression she does.

If any of you have a youtube account can you please sub her? I think its a great channel and I fear these recipes will be lost as we move into an age where even poor folk can afford a porterhouse due to GMO grain feed for example.

Here's a link to her channel

Great Depression Cooking

Whats even better is its mainly Italian grub (if im not mistaken)

 

[Lord Vutulaki]

@Mix6APlix you seem like a guy who likes peasant grub and by that I mean you would have a well developed palate and able to see past pretentious culinary bullshit. Got anything to share? thoughts on that Nona? (SP?)

 

[Mix6APlix]

I appreciate all food if properly prepared. I sear, smoke and crock pot a 6 dollar pot roast and eat happily for days, either over rice or potatoes or as a sandwich.

What I like to do is strain out the braising liquid and pour it in to a cup, then refrigerate it over night. As it cools, the beef fat will basically become a solidified 'puck' of goodness. I'll cut it out and wrap it up in cellophane, then use it instead of (or with) butter next time, usually that night, in frying up some potatoes. And then you still retain the rest of the braising liquid to sauce the roast regardless of how you are eating it.

By 'Italian', I assume you mean pasta. Pasta spans the spectrum from 'peasant cuisine' as you put it, to 5 star cuisine depending on what it may be paired with.

I got a burrito from taco Bell last night. I asked for no lettuce then my card wouldn't swipe. So I gave him a credit card instead and he swiped it and was like oh it worked the last time I swiped. So cunt charged me twice. He was gonna get his manager to unfuck it but I told him it's a dollar I don't care.

Get back to my hotel and it had fucking lettuce in it.

Well yeah kinda. You fry your meat. I drain the meat and set aside. Some people leave it in. You add flour to the grease and make a paste, brown it to preference. I like mine a lil darker than mocha. Add milk and the meat, stir to make a gravy.

And I toast my bread.

You ever notice Italians aren't allowed to complain about "cultural appropriation"?

I'll make a thread about people I don't like before I go to sleep. It's been over a week since @Leigh has voiced his disapproval of me. I bet he is getting bored.
