Chicken Recipes

[veg-o-matic]

Square Meals is one of the best cookbooks ever written! If anyone hasn't yet become a member of the Stern Cult, it's a good place to start.

Love The Encyclopedia of Bad Taste, too.

Togs, you forgot to choke the chicken before putting it in the ove.

OK, I've never heard of kitty litter cake so how do you make one?

Oh, dear god, I am going to culinary hell for this, but....here it is, Jason; your ticket to one of the more disgusting desserts you'll ever make. Enjoy!

reminds me of the character from "the Vicar of Dibley" who always made awful foods for the church fetes. Once she brought a Marmite and Parsnip cake.

For the Americans - Marmite is a yeast extract spread which Aussies and English people eat on bread or toast. Vegemite is the Aussie brand name though I prefer Marmite. It looks evil - a thick black goo like old axle grease. It tastes like very salty axle grease. Well it grows on you. We Aussies think peanut butter and jam (jelly) together is disgusting.
When I was in USA in 81/82 I brought some Vegemite. One lady who tried it wouldn't make toast to eat it on so she tried it on a cracker. She screwed up her face and said "where do I spit it? It tastes like sh_t on a chip!"

I picked up a jar of Vegemite at an upscale grocery in Minneapolis and you're SO right; it's definitely an acquired taste. And no, I haven't quite acquired it, yet, LOL!

Funny how every culture has its 'pet' foods that other cultures find unpalatable...

He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich, and he said.

I've always wondered what Vegemite was even when I heard the song "down under". I had the 45 and dropped the needle at that spot over and over. "What'd he say?" "VEGEMITE?" What the hell?

Even more than the Vegemite, I'm interested in whether or not you're going to be brave and make/consume some Kitty Litter Cake!

I have a date with my nieces this coming saturday to ahem *make* it. and send my sister (their mother) to the mall and to get out!

13, 9 and 6 are their ages.

This should prove to be interesting.

Oh, we'll definitely want pictures of THAT, Togs. Have fun!

Vegemite

For your amusement, here is the advertising jingle from the 1960s for Vegemite ... V was promoted as being a very healthy food, in fact it had really high salt content, lowered substantially over the years but still high today, the main nutrient in it is vitamin B, otherwise of little nutritional value...

Imagine black and white images of happy 1960s kids at play and marching while singing this song...

We're happy little Vegemites
as bright as bright can be
we all enjoy our Vegemite for breakfast, lunch and tea
our mummies see we're growing stronger every single week
we always love our Vegemite
we all enjoy our Vegemite
it puts a rose in every cheek!

how's that for indoctrination? I haven't heard that for 30 years plus, it's still there in the little grey cells.
