Bartering fish for yummy Russian delight

 

I have friends that do not care to fish, yet love to eat it. I have no issues with keeping a fish for a friend when asked. My one Russian friend and I share or barter. I offer him a fish, and he in return, offers me pepperettes and smoked cheese. His wife makes us lunches sometimes. One day, I had this ground stuffed meat thing. It was so good. I thought it was ground turkey or something. Turned out, it was pork. So good, I had to ask how and what. I told him not to worry, he would still get his fish. LOL

 

This I was told, is a Russian staple . To me, it is a treat. Usually it is stuffed with onion and chopped egg. I , as I always do, changed it up to chopped onion and mushroom. Im sure what ever you stuff it with, it,s still so so yummy.

Nothing like a nice 1" slice of cold corned beef out of the can with those gobs of fat in it on Wonder Bread and catsup.

 

I do buy stuff at Punjabi Market in Stoney Creek that has a small sticker on the can, jar or pouch that is in a language I don't know. Like the package above of whatever it is in Russian, I think it might be Russian. I love when the package has a sticker on it that says in English:

 

1) cook cut up meat with spice

2) add 1/2 a bowl of water

3) add ingredient

4) cook more

 

It turned out to be Paprikas or Hungarian Goulash and it is very, very good.

 

It is called "fant gulas i paprikas." Try it if you can find it. The meat would be cubed and browned pork.

Geez man have you ever had prosciutto on a lightly toasted chiabatta, drizzled with olive oil and eggplants and Sundried tomatoes? Then a side dish of cured cracked olives. Red wine is optional.

 

No cans involved!

You forgot the slice of Provolone!

Cold sliced canned corned beef and mustard sandwiches when I was kid. Definitely not a gourmet meal though.

 

Camp ground corned beef hash was pretty good. Canned beef chopped up, onion and diced potatoes fried till browned nicely and a couple sunny side up eggs on top. A bit of ketchup.
