Yukon stew ... moose with canned tomatoes, onions and Worcestershire sauce. Uh huh.

Oh yes, bannock.

http://www.kwanlindun.com/community/recipe/bannock_1/

Fried bread -- i.e., bread made in a frying pan. Flour, lard, eggs ... you'll recognize the model.

More bannock:

White flour and lard, not exactly pre-European, I think.

Bannock everywhere.

Alrighty. I find a page that says it's a traditional feast anybody can make, and it's a dead link. Cleverly, I go to google's cache. I'm going to copy and paste w/o reading because it will make me gag. I hope you're happy now!


Recipes for the Holidays
The Traditional & Modern Way

The Native people of North America have a tradition of cooking that follows the rhythm of nature and satisfies the soul; as well as the body. In one phrase, Natives cook with spirit.

The First Nations Drum presents a feast for the holiday season: traditional recipes and their modern adaptations that any home cook can make for the holiday season.

May your holiday season be filled with they joy that Native cooks have felt in presenting their dishes to their brothers and sister, friends and family. Merry Christmas!

Shellfish Bake(Traditional)

Shellfish
Dig a pit in the sand 4 feet deep and 4 feet wide. Line the pit with stones and build a large fire on the stones and burn hot for four to five hours.

When coals have well heated the rocks, brush the coals aside. Cover stones with a 4 inch layer of rockweed or seaweed.

Lay shellfish on seaweed layer ..... clams, chunks of seal, crabs, mussels, limpets, periwinkles, sea urchins. Cover seafood with a layer of seaweed.

Lay branches of brush on top of the seaweed to hold in steam. The steam will have cooked the shellfish in an hour's time, but can be left for as long as two hours in the pit without drying out.


Smoked Herring (Modern)

Fish
Clean and gut herring, leaving head on. Tub with a mixture of:

1 lb. Coarse Salt
2 Cups Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp. Saltpeter
2 Tbsp. Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp. Whole Cloves Crushed Garlic
1 Tbsp. Crushed Bay or Murtle leaves
2 Tbsp. Onion Powder

Let herring cure in mixture for 7 days at 35° F.

Reapply mixture when needed, so that fish always remains full coated.

After seven days rinse in fresh water and hang until thoroughly dried. Smoke at 70° to 85° in home smoke for seven days. Will keep refrigerated for one year or frozen for several years.


Nootka Poached Salmon (Modern)

5 lbs Fresh Salmon (cleaned with head and tail removed)
2 Lrg. Onions, chopped
2 " Celery Stalks
2 " Carrots, scraped
2 " Bay Leaves
1 tsp. Salt

Place fish in a large roasting pan. Place half of the chopped onions in the cavity and the remainder around the fish.

Place celery and carrots on fish. Add bay leaves and salt, plus sufficient water to cover fish. Bake at 400° F for 15 minutes, then 350° F, covered for 30 minutes.



As I recall, you can also steam salmon in tin foil in a dishwasher. Never struck me as the most environmentally friendly way to cook food.

The Shellfish lot sound good,but you can keep the others thanks...

I dont like Celery and I only eat onion raw..

And if I want smoked Herring I can buy boil in the bag kippers..same thing...

AND, do you know the price of salmon here??
Or most fish come to that...

Thanks Janey
Pass on the moose - don't like tinned tomatoes - and the 7 day old herrings - but as I like herrings - thought initially OOh - herrings - but later changed to - ugh - no problem with shellfish bake - but do they do for two people ?
Butter Tarts - I will try them - and will google a recipe - but surprised that BBC food had a recipe

So you eat faces but not gills - good job your rellies do not come to Spain
Thanks Janey - will Google tomorrow

Renes

Your mouth will start watering on sight. ;)

... Ack!

Somebody in comments says she uses no nuts or raisins, but currants. Currants??? I think not. Always raisins, nuts if you must.

And yes, a very short flakey pastry is best. (The pastry shown there looks like what you buy prefab in the freezer.)

Some idiot moaning there about how it was supposed to be a nut-free recipe, on a net search. Duuuuuh. Leave out the nuts.

That recipe isn't authentic anyway. It's brown sugar and corn syrup, not some effete sounding sugar and cream.

I'll have to hunt up Gramma's recipe and convert it to your strange measuring units ...

Truly, butter tarts (no nuts, just raisins

Morning all

Off out for shopping - all fine here - needed coverlet in the night COLD - Brilliant


No time to make drinks - Sorry


Renes

No bl##dy breakfast AGAIN

Sylvssssssssssssss........come home

Going to get hair done later this morning. Might go for some grey highlights this time, all the rage

Sorry, too late to make breakfast......got up late......look at the time! Goodness me......must do better.


Janey, I saw your Butter Tart and it put a query into my mind so I did some googling.........ah.....Butter Tarts are NOT the same as Butter Pies! When we first moved here we heard folk talking about butter pies and wondered what on earth they were.........Google tells us that the two are not to be confused.....your Butter Tarts sound much nicer.

People in Wigan are known as 'pieaters' and it's very true. Some pies are better than others. What's a Wigan kebab? Three pies on a snooker cue.


Only like prawns, shrimps and cockles in the shellfish range. Someone I know was really poorly after eating mussels a couple of weeks ago.


Adore tinned tomatoes - especially with fried bacon. See, bacon again, hint hint.


Has Ginny gone now????


Going to buy some new pans - only like stainless steel - seems as though aluminium has been linked with dementia at some stage. I'm playing safe!!

EDIT.....she's stll 'ere I see.

Its Mary Ann/e Hurley on other census and Albert JOHN Hurleys b/c,,,I cant find either of the parents before 1861 either....

Albert JOHN Hurley was born in September 1851,so didnt make 1851 census...
And they are not at his birth address in 1851 either.

Edits...And John born 1827 dies in late 1861,so not on any more census to double check his birth place.
Mary Anne has a child after his death,2 yrs later !then she and child Laura go totally AWOL after 1871.

Oh woe is me........

Abandoned,I have been abandoned....

So much for friends....sniffs and blows in tissue...


Off to search for some REAL friends.....

Passing bacon butty to help the worker(s).



Wonder how Janey is? Dashing back and forth a certain room probably! Imagine her phone calls today.....

"Hi Janey....how are you today?"

"Oh hi.......I'm absolutely.................arghhhh.....must dash, I'll call you back".

"Back again........arghhhh.....gotta go,........ bye".

Poor thing.




Well, got my new pans....very nice they are too. Also got a new laptop tray with a little light attached. I could've spent a forturne in that shop. Have warned OH that new curtains may be due within the next few months.............he was SO impressed.....not.











.

Poor Fans...........I don't mind being your friend, but I'm not as clever as t'others.

Was thinking about Janey this morning as well while I was ummmm,well thinking of Janey doing what I was doing.

I wondered if she had been out before hand and stocked up on some very soft tissue and maybe some wet wipes as well?
Wet wipes are really handy for slight accident cleaning up in a hurry when out...

Nooo Cyn...I need to find some "clever"friends........

That is only the tip of the iceberg that has a huge and unscaleable wall at the moment....

Afternoon all

Wet wipes are fine but you can't flush them Fans.

See everyones been out and about today, well it looks like the brief summer we had is over now
