Eat the bones, and you will regret it; don’t eat the bones, you will also regret it; eat the bones or don’t eat the bones, you will regret it either way. This, gentlemen, is the essence of all philosophy.

Goddamn that looks delicious but I can't find any mackerel at the big chain grocery stores around here. The only time had it was when I got my KO taster pack. Where did you get yours?

Likewise the only kipper snacks I can find are Crown Prince brand which are pretty good but I'd like to try some others. I guess I'll try someplace like Trader Joe's.

Well, I didn't make that I just looked up a picture. I live in Norway and we can usually get fresh mackerel in the supermarket when the things are in season (or whatever you call it), which is from about May-June until about October. So no fresh mackerel at the moment, and barbecued mackerel is very much a summer thing, but damnit if it aint delicious.

Oxtails? They're easy. Brown and braise as you like it basically. If you look online you'll see a lot of Caribbean recipes that start with a browning (burnt sugar) and they pretend like it's a big deal but it's not and you can ignore it, it tastes like it tastes who cares.

Here's my evernote note I made for the ribs you can put in the same amount of oxtails instead

This ends up with a kinda dominican tasting version, you can alter almost anything in the recipe to change the flavor profile.

Oh also I broiled for the brownness but you can sear in the pan instead. The plus to this is more fond, the minus is a lot more garbo to skim off and more work/time cooking them. If you have a pressure cooker you can finish this poo poo real quick but I don't have one right now.

The picture is half of the below but I want a bigger batch in the future because I usually want to cook enough for six or seven servings during the week plus enough to feed me that day, so I typed it in this way.

=====

Double batch:
~8 lbs ribs (about 4 trimmed racks), seasoned, broiled on high up close for about 6 minutes per side
5-6 sweet onions caramelized
4-5 red peppers
1 bag baby carrots
1 head garlic
1 big juicy lime
1 6oz jar olives
1-2 small cans tomato
2 tsp cumin seeds
6 bay leaves
Some bullion

While broiling meat start the onions, finish them with garlic and cumin and bay leaf. Simmer ribs in onions and some water and the tomatoes for 3 hours. Remove bones from meat and then put back in to stew. Add carrots and about and enough water to make about 6 cups of water total, two or so bullion cubes, cook for 30m. Add juillened pepper and olives and lime juice and cook for another 30m, thicken with ~2 tbsp cornstarch slurry. Serve with rice.

If you don't know how to caramelize onions maybe use half as many and just sweat them (cook them a little)

WHOA!!! you are the man. I was hoping for a sentence or two but this is very thorough

Just to be clear:
-I can start by salting and searing the oxtails just like any other meat, before I start with the onion
-When you say "skim the garbo" you mean use a soup strainer to collect the scum off the top of the liquid every now and then, as needed?

-Yeah, that's the normal start. I prefer to broil things like ribs and oxtail to start because of the effort involved in pan searing them. Also because they have structure they don't lay in the pan very well and it's hard to get an even sear/lots of browning on the meats because the bones get in the way. Broiler doesn't need contact just closeness. I sear chicken thighs and things like that but fat and lots of curved bone and I don't want to gently caress with it any more.

-Oxtail (and ribs) has a tremendous amount of fat and connective tissue. This will cook off and turn into a layer of viscous oil on top of your stew and won't taste good and will give you the shits. Normally you skim that off (unless you're a really disgusting fat pigman) using a spoon. Broiling leaves most of that in the broiling tray and saves some work later on. Flavor is 90% as good, work is 90% less wrt the meat. I mean, sear if you want to but you're going to have to do more skimming that way.

There isn't too much scum in that recipe. Scum (like, the greyish foam stuff) requires protein and starch together as far as I'm aware so it's only an issue if you put a starch in too early or are cooking beans or something like that.

Oh and for the oxtail I wouldn't bother stripping the meat out, I just did it for the ribs because it was easy but for the oxtail it's a pain and its better to just let the person eating the thing work the meat out of all the nooks and crannies.

I've had my first two tins of sardines (KOs) this month. Dijon Mustard- Did not enjoy. Mediterranean Dines- Fantastic. Didn't notice any bones, had to double check the label. I still have 1 tin of Mediterranean and 1 of Zesty Tomato Sauce left. My hopes for Tomato Sauce are not high.

Saw some jars of herring in wine sauce and herring in cream sauce (both refrigerated) at the grocery today. Anyone had anything like this? I love kippered herring but haven't had it any other way.

Also opened an issue of Men's Health magazine to a random page which had a big ol' 'dine sandwich picture in an article by Alton Brown. He eats a can of 'dines every day. We are in good company, 'dinegoons.

Get one, probably the wine sauce and try it out. Prepare to not exactly be overwhelmed but to have a generally agreeable preserved fish experience.

oh, and check the dates because people who read this thread are probably the only ones buying it.

I really like the cream sauce herring over some lettuce, like lovely iceberg, but that's a thing my jewish grandfather did for new year's. It's good but I also love disgusting food so who knows

The Vita(?) brand stuff is what we usually get. The fish tastes really good and has a nice meaty, kinda chewy texture?

My dad has never made that mistake because he only buys things he was told were the best in the 70s ("Vlassic pickle spears are the best, Brunswick sardines are the best, S&W frozen peas are the best..." etc ad infinitum) and if they stop selling that thing he just doesn't buy anything from that category any more. He has complained for years that he can't find "Thompson" seedless grapes any more (because they are the best) and refuses to buy or try any of the other available and probably identical green grapes.

Also when he buys cherries (Washington Raineer and Queen Anne are the best) he selects them one at a time making sure to get the best ones.
