Cheeky sod, I’m 66 years young.
Unfortunately I no longer enjoy drippin’ butties 'cos the fat from the meat these days just doesn’t taste the same somehow.
From the land of Mushy Peas, you find Maple Syrup gross?
My mind boggles.
Not at all, I love it but not drizzled over bacon or sausage.
…just what is wrong with mushy peas?
I’m an American that’s not huge on the maple flavor either. I don’t mind it on my pancakes and french toast, but I don’t really like it flavoring my bacon or sausage. Maple is just such a huge flavor, and very cloying. I also can’t stand smelling it on my hands an hour after I eat a stack. I hate that artificial maple flavored sausage as well. However, I do like Maple Nut Goodies.
I’ve been to Primanti’s. They’re good, but I can honestly (but quietly - don’t want to rile people!) say I don’t know what the fuss is about. I’m not a big coleslaw fan, though. They’re certainly worth it if you happen to be in the area, and they’ve expanded their locations in the past few years and are easier to come by.
To the best of my knowledge, the only spice used in Colman’s mustard is a touch of turmeric – and that’s primarily to enhance the colour. All the heat comes from the mustard flour. The heat of mustard depends on which seed you use, which part of it you include in the flour, and what liquid you use – I believe water tends to give you a fierier taste than the wine vinegar these pansy foreign mustards have in them.
It’s funny how this works. Peanut Butter and butter? That’s weird.
In Costa Rica, they had rum & coke in a can. Well, Cuba Libre was what they called it. Weird but awesome. Ever seen this anywhere else?
If you want a really hot mustard may I point you in the direction of:
English Mustard with Horseradish.
Once tried never forgotten
wrong forum :smack:
Are you British? I ask because Heinz Beanz are different than American baked beans (sauce is thinner). Should I spread some Colman’s on that, too? Or peanut butter? Or peanut butter and mustard?
I’ve had “Pittsburgh-style” sandwiches on two occasions, both times in Pittsburgh. I’m not a fan of cole slaw or fries on sandwiches, but this was one formidable and tasty sandwich. The crisp hot fries against the cold crunch of the cole slaw, along with the salty corned beef was one-of-a-kind. Mind you, the sandwich contained the caloric equivalent of 3 full meals, and, combined with 2 beers, nearly placed me in a carbohydrate-overload coma!
I’m American.
When we speak of baked beans in America, nine times out of ten we mean homemade baked beans. Or at least semi-homemade baked beans that involve cans of Pork and Beans (similar to Heinz Baked Beanz). Here’s my easy baked bean recipe for you.
Best Merkin Baked Beans
4 or 5 cans of Heinz Baked Beanz (415 g cans)
1 medium chopped onion
1/4 cup of dark brown sugar
1/4 cup of dark mollases
3 tblsp. ketchup
5 slices of bacon
Chuck the beans, onions, brown sugar, and liquid ingredients into a large shallow baking dish (a 9x13 pan works well) and stir to combine. Float the slices of bacon across the top. Bake at 160C for around two to two and a half hours.
I’m estimating on the measurements for the ketchup, mollasses, and brown sugar. I never measure… but basically, you want it fairly sweet and dark but not too liquid. Try to keep some viscosity.
Prepared mustard or dry mustard powder is also a good addition to this basic baked bean recipe. So yes, you can work the colman’s in there before or after the fact. Hearty NO on the peanut butter.
I may never find the courage to travel overseas again… :eek:
I don’t understand why this is weird? It’s a classic drink, just in a can - like pre-mixed Pimms or something. Is it the being in a can that’s weird?
I tried the PB and mustard sandwich last night, it’s actually pretty good! I reckon it would be nice with some cucumber in it as well though…
It’s not that horrific, doesn’t really taste much. At home people drown it in sauce and green peas which accounts for most of the tatse. If anything, lutfisk tastes vaguely like, well… baked semen.
Mother would throw wieners one top with a spiral cut on the outside. Weiners baked in the baked beans are really good. I guess the term should be franks though. Frank n Beans. Ring Baloney works too.
That sounded disgusting to me.
I’m sorry- if there’s anywhere in the world where that sounds yummy, the rest of us are going to have to nuke it from orbit.
So you’re a fan of baked semen then.
Each to their own I guess
Not really - I avoid the dish. What I meant was that it’s more slightly icky than horrific. Pretty mild compared to other monstrosities like fermented herring.
