Pickled Onions

[Jo McDonald]

Well, I'll be darned and I hang my head in shame --- yesterday was Tuesday wasn't it?  Maybe this no water-high heat day got to me more than I thought.  Sorry, fellas, now today is Wednesday - and I'm no smarter than I was yesterday.

Then on top of that yu start talking about pickled food stuffs.  I make picked fish and that has already been cussed and discussed heE on the forum BUT none the less...I absolutely love it..and my Mother made the very best pickled beef and pork tongue - pickled pig ears and feet..ohhhhh  how I would love to have some of that again.  None other than hers has ever tasted that good.

  Any hooooooo   HAPPY WEDNESDAY Y'ALL  Sure hope youhad a happy Tuesday also.  giggle giggle

 Jo, do you like souse?

[Diane Amberg]

 For those who don't know, souse is a little like pickled pigs feet in a slice-able form. It's little bits of "pig leftovers," pickled and jelled in a pan and then sliced. My Mom loved it when she was having chemo and her taste buds were flat. Anything pickled or lemony tasted good to her. I like it but not so much that I would ever make an effort to buy it. The Amish markets here have it. And I agree with Teresa, Amish roll butter is THE best!

I didn't know that "pickled pigs feet" was called souse..
Hmmmmmmm..
I like pigs feet.... so I guess I like souse.

 Teresa, I really do make plenty of errors myself. I was typing a cookie recipe and I wrote that after they were baked, cool them on a rake, instead of a rack.

Heck, Diane, the rake is a good idea! It would let them cool on both sides at once!

 One of my first ambulance patients many years ago, was an older lady having crushing chest and jaw pain, difficulty breathing, dripping sweat and was very cyanotic, an obvious heart attack. I knew oxygen would help the chest pain, so I put it on her and said," Deep Breathely," for all to hear!                    Oops... this is the food thread.        Cinnamon is good for Type II diabetics. Ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. to 1 tsp. in food per day, helps keep blood sugar lower. I'm not kidding. Some people take it broken up into in several meals, some take it all at once. I don't know if it works for everyone, but early Type IIs might find it helpful.
