sauerkrautsaulSpam and Pam
JohnnyEnzymeWhat would be the closest ‘meat product’ to Spam where you live?
Far as I remember, Spam is some kind of ham blend, maybe more basic than bratwurst, let’s say.
ps very different flavor profile, brats to spam. brautwurst is spiced in a very specific way that tastes like bratwurst, which of course tastes different than bockwurst or weißwurst.
spam tastes like spam… its just a specific spice mix in the meat slurry.
spam tends to be a finer ground than lots of brauts ive had in germany. varies by make of course.
the phillipino ma-ling one is far more coarse with little blocks of fat and denser bits speckled throughout
So you’re a world traveler, eh? You must have seen plenty of interesting food & cultural items.
I haven’t been back to Europe since… shit, it’s been over 30yrs, now. :S
dang sounds like its time to come back around. obviously really good and diverse food all over europe… I find northern germany to be terribly underrated food wise
Huh, I’ve only been to Österreich, and only briefly at that. (had some great Viennese Schnitzel while there as a teen, would not repeat as someone who respects my fellow animals)
So… what do you like about N. German cuisine, if you don’t mind my asking?
so its a lot of pork and potatoes and gravy… red cabbage (shredded, cooked forever, seasoned with butter etc). like the best meat and potatoes dishes ive ever had. itd be lost on you as a vegetarian id say. good on you, I try to reduce meat intake a bit. not terribly successfully
I’m mainly vegetarian, but I like meat here and there, at least as my excuse for still eating meat, getting complete proteins and all, yadayada.
Over here, I do love cabbage & potats, and curried gravy. I don’t usually slow-cook my food, but you are seriously making a case of my reconsidering my cooking life. :S
theres a dish called schweinshaxe, which is a ham hock served with cabbage and potato dumplings in bavaria which is absolutely devastating en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schweinshaxe
im not wild about anything curry, which is why my wife orders indian take out when im away
