The Food Thread

You could stick it in your pocket and go work deep in the mines and then eat a couple.

Exactly how the pepperoni roll was created in Appalachia. It was a solution made by the wives of underground coal miners.

In Iron and Copper Mining towns in Upper Michigan that Shepherd's/Cottage Pie was turned into
something called a Pasty. Which is really just a northern lattitudes version of an Empanada.

You could stick it in your pocket and go work deep in the mines and then eat a couple. It's just
a folded pie/pastry style dough with some kind of meat and potatoes in it, and often carrots
and onions.

Here we go again

Super easy… We used to make this table side

If you got a nice big wooden bowl, throw some salt in the bottom of it, rub a garlic clove into the salt and get the garlic oil all over the bowl (remove) and with a fork and spoon mash 2 anchovy fillets into the bottom.

You need a coddled egg. Put the yolk of the coddled egg with the anchovies and mix/emulsify by hand.

Add EV Olive oil and red wine vinegar with a little lemon juice. Blend.

Toss in your Romaine lettuce (cut tips off and feed the chickens), croutons; toss finish with grated parmigiana and cracked black pepper
