Just in case you didn't see it in the comment I just posted.
Basically, you slowly caramelize french cut yellow onions(kind of like julienne) in butter. Deglaze with red wine and reduce a bit. Add veal stock(NOT base) and bring it to a boil. Throw in a little (THIS INGREDIENT DELETED FROM POST. FOR MORE INFO, CONTACT THE POSTER AT b.dog.01@gmail.com) and some salt. To serve, ladle into a bowl and place a crostini of baguette on top, then some grated cheese(I prefer emmental, but swiss will do in a pinch) over it all, then brown the cheese under a salamander(yes A-Z, it IS an appliance) or broiler, et voila.
If some of that cooking-speak went over your head, then look it up, I'm not going to give out cooking classes without provocation.

Provocation
Provocation? You mean I didn't provoke you enough with that last bit of chain-jerking? :)I thought that a salamander was a substitute for escargot (or however you say 'snails' in French), but you say it is a toaster? Damn. The things you learn! ;)
Well, it should be OBVIOUS that I am no chef. I presume from the dishes you have been discussing that you are working on French dishes for your expertise? Better than German food, I guess...though I do pretty good with a can of sour kraut and some veggie sasauge... :)
I'd offer to exchange receipies, but I don't think that you want to get kicked out of your school for heretical food blasphemies, so I'll leave you to your art.
Unless you WANT to give your gourmet instructor chefs something to REALLY cry about...like my famous rice and greens in salt and lemon juice dish. That dish has been know to eat dishes as it is make, so the iron intake is pretty high. Or my greatly acclaimed (as a bioweapon of mass destruction) fried rice and sourkraut with (veggie) hotdogs and three-cheese mix. Slam that back with a stiff shot of concord grape juice, and you can tell in seconds who is a man, and who isn't. The ones doubled over like someone sucker-punched them are a bunch of limp-wristed sissy boys. :)
Interesting how food can be used to divide the wanna-bes from the real item, isn't it? ;)

Re: Provocation
Sigh. Turning food into torture. Blasphemy! :PSeptember 7 2005, 18:56:06 UTC 6 years ago
Re: Provocation
Believe it or not, it isn't too difficult to make tasty vegetarian or vegan meals. Although, it does eliminate some good ingredients.Oh, and A-Z, please don't torture yourself with those fake dogs anymore. Try using something like satan(essentialy wheat gluten).

Re: Provocation
I believe you. Most of what I eat is non-meat. Think Chinese food: 10% or less meat. That and eggs, bread, cheese, fruit. Cereal. Fruit juice and milk. That sort of thing.I think he could get into eating satan. :)

*sigh*It's pronounced say-tan, as in "I'm going to the beach so I can get a tan."

Re: Provocation
And that's how some people pronounce the name of the devil! It is, really. :)September 7 2005, 19:13:24 UTC 6 years ago
Re: Provocation
I am overly familiar with wheat gluten, and my mom makes a killer batch of it. She has learned how to make it like pork chops, beef steak, chicken, or even osterich drumstick. I love working with it; it's so easy to make it part of a dish.Of course, with my wide-ranging (some say twisted) tastes, practically ANYTHING that isn't meat is on the menu. Note, please, that I said 'practically'. Okra IS the devil, and while I will gladly torture the green anti-christ, I will not eat it in any form!
That reminds me! I saw this little 'cooking for hunters' show on a one of those outdoor channel things for the weekend hunter, and they were talking about making a meal with whatever animal they shot dead that day, and the guy was saying that wild okra is the best thing for accenting a plate with incenerated flesh and fried green onions on it. I'm sure it is. But then, to my horror, the dumb son of a bitch pulls out a round of okra and bits into it like an apple! 'Plenty good fresh, too!' the sub-human bastard quoth! My GOD! Even INSECTS won't eat that stuff! I don't mind blowing away helpless animals (humans especially), but to eat RAW, WILD Okra is the sign of the death of mankind.
They don't have any okra in French food, do they? *SUSPICIOUS*

Re: Provocation
Not really.But,
THOU SHALL HENCEFORTH SUFFER MY IRE AND WRATH FOR SLIGHTING THE ALL MIGHTY LORD OKRA!

Re: Provocation
HA! I firebombed fields of you 'Lord Okra' for kicks! I used little okra children to grease the wheels of my ATV! I like to tear okra plants out by their roots, throw them on hot, mid-August asphalt and watch them shrivel up and DIE! I take bush-hogs to their fields and plant kudzu!Suffer your ire and wrath? I laugh at your pathetic threats! What are you going to do - make me eat some French food? ;) Maybe do a drive-by croissanting? Oh! I know! You're going to unleash the mother of all surrenders! :)

Re: Provocation
Fuck the french shit! I'm going to whip up some schnitzel, riesling and strudel, then get Third Reich on your ass, you pathetic, scrawny little wisp of a veggie-terrarium! You'll be eating baby until it comes out your BELLY BUTTON!September 8 2005, 09:57:17 UTC 6 years ago
Re: Provocation
You have fallen into my trap, B_D_1! I have sent a copy of you heretical comments to your instructors, and as French-food chefs, they are going to take away your pots and pans, burn your chef's hat and ride you out of the kitchen on a spatula! :)I'd be careful about falling for the sterotypical 'veggie' image - I am not exactly what you would call 'pathetic, scrawny little wisp'. Matter of fact, I can kick a cook's ass any day of the week - before breakfast, to boot! :)
And feel free to go all Third Reich - just remember, you will suffer the same fate as them: head pounded down to ass and said ass then punted into next week. :)
Oh, and have a nice day! ^_^
