146.0. "RECIPES" by KAOO01::LAPLANTE (THE INTERLOPER) Fri Jan 06 1989 10:51

    This note should be used to enter recipes for Canadian dishes.
    
    I think we should use the title for the name of the dish in the
    language that it originates in. A translation should be provided
    and a description of the dish if it is not obvious.

146.1Blueberry Roly PolyKAOO01::LAPLANTETHE INTERLOPERFri Jan 06 1989 10:5823
    Blueberries are found all over Eastern and Northern Ontario and
    are delicious. Like almost all wild fruit they have been cultivated.
    The wild ones are quite small with a pronounced flavour while the
    domestic ones are usually quite large with less flavour.
    
    1/2 cup butter/margarine		1/2 tsp soda
    1/2 cup brown sugar			1 tsp cinammon
    1 egg				1/4 tsp nutmeg
    1/2 cup molasses			1/2 cup hot water
    2 1/4 cups flour			2 cups blueberries
    1/2 tsp salt			  washed, dried, floured
    
    1. Cream butter and sugar; add the egg and beat until light; beat
    in the molasses
    
    2. Mix and sift the dry indgredients. Add alternately with water
    to the butter/sugar; mix well.
    
    3. Fold in the floured berries.
    
    4. Pour into a greased baking dish. Bake at 350F for 35 mins.

    French Pie  is really a traditional Quebec dessert.
    
    I have never heard of it anywhere else or anything close to it (well,
    maybe a butter tart).
    
    1/2 cup molasses			1 cup washed raisins
    1 1/2 cup hot water			4 tbls cornstarch
    1/2 cup brown sugar			4 tbls cold water
    
    1. Combine syrup, sugar, water and raisins; bring to a boil.
    
    2. Add the cornstarch, mixed to a smooth paste with the cold water
    
    3. Stir until the mixture has thickened and become clear
    
    4. Cool, stirring occasionally
    
    5. Pour into a baked pie shell
    
    6. Serve with whipped cream.
    
    You can make this with any kind of molasses. My mother used the
    darkest she could get; it's much sweeter.

    Ted,
    
    They all sound sooooo good, but rather than asking for all the recipes
    and tiring you out (and making you hate me) I'd like to have the
    recipes for :
    Roti de Porc a la Canadienne
    Glazed Canadian Back Bacon
    Cretons du Quebec
    
    Thanks in advance.

146.8Some Newfie RecipesKAOO01::LAPLANTENot the Northern MagusThu Feb 02 1989 19:3158
    I found a few Newfie recipes that people might be interested in.
    
    FISH AND BREWSE
    
    1 pound #1 Hard Bread	boneless dried cod
    1/4 pound fat pork
    
    1. Soak the bread (which is a broken hard biscuit) overnight in
    water to cover
    
    2. Soak the fish in water to cover. It will need to be soaked longer
    than the bread
    
    3. Drain the water from the fish. Cover with fresh water and simmer
    until tender
    
    4. Put the bread to cook in the water in which it was soaked. Bring
    it just to the boil. Overcooking will make the bread mushy.
    
    5. Dice and fry out salt pork until the port bits are brown and
    crisp.
    
    Arrange the bread on a platter and pour the pork over it. Shred
    the fish and serve separately or flake it and mix it with the bread.
    
    Apparently this is a popular Sunday breakfast dish.
    
    
    BAKED COD TONGUES	
    
    24 cod tongues	1 cup fine dry bread crumbs 	1 cup milk
    
    Soak fresh tongues in milk to which 2 tblsps salt are added
    Roll in crumbs
    Bake on a greased baking dish at 450F for 10 minutes
    
    
    STEAMED BROWN BREAD
    
    2 cups all purpose flour		1 cup raisins
    2 tsps soda				2 eggs
    1 tsp salt				1 cup sour milk
    2 cups whole wheat flour		1 cup molasses
    
    1. Mix and sift together the first three ingredients. Add whole
    wheat flour and raisins.
    
    2. Combine the eggs, sour milk and molasses. Add the dry ingredients.
    
    3. Fill greased moulds (4 x 1lb coffee cans) 2/3 full. Tie greased
    brown paper over the tops.
    
    4. Place the cans on a rack in a kettle containing boiling water
    which comes half way up the cans.
    
    5. Cover and steam for four hours, adding boiling water if necessary
    
    
146.9"Salt fish & potatoes"BETSY::WATSONNo_MadFri Feb 03 1989 15:3217
RE: .8

Your "FISH AND BREWSE" sounds very much like a dish my mother (and now
my wife) makes, only we use potatoes instead of bread, and hake instead
of cod or haddock.  It's a Down East (Maine) meal, _sometimes_ served
with spinach, or any other green.

We had a friend over for this dinner once, and he insisted on putting
CATSUP (ketchup) on his fish, because he said he "always puts catsup
on his fish"... oh, well.

Thanks for entering it, but I've never heard of "#1 Hard Bread"  Is
this something you buy that way??

Thanks,

Kip
146.10Canadian Culinary Olympic CookbookKAOA01::LAPLANTENot the Northern MagusWed Feb 08 1989 11:4627
    Some of you might not be aware that Canada has an excellent record
    in the World Culinary Olympics which are held every four years.
    We have won two World gold medals and several lesser category golds
    as well as many silver and bronze medals. In fact we are the current
    World Champions. 
    
    To promote the teams involved in this year's events, a cookbook
    was prepared with recipes to be used in the competition. The recipes
    were conceived so that they would use as many natural Canadian foods
    as possible.
    
    The following teams contributed recipes: National Culinary; National
    Student, Canadian Forces, Vancouver, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Toronto,
    Ottawa/Hull, Atlantic Provinces, Manitoba, Toronto, and Montreal.
    
    Recipes include such things as Cream of Fiddlehead Soup, Rabbit
    Stuffed with Vancouver Island Chanterelles, Prairie Chowder, Arctic
    Char with Pike Quenelles, Roast Buffalo with Wild Mushrooms, Wild
    Boar Stew, Filet of Caribou, Pigeon Breasts with Endives, Egg and
    Oyster Mushroom Salad.
    
    If anyone is interested in any of these, or any others let me know
    and I will post some of them. If you are interested in Appetizers,
    Entrees, Salads, Soups, Deserts etc let me know and I could select
    from them.
