Hi, Gill -- All I know (without peeking) is that they're a type of Japanese bread crumb. I went ahead and Googled "panko bread crumbs" and still couldn't tell you more than that, though there's plenty of peeps talking about 'em! LOL! Apparently, they're lighter, for one thing, and made from wheat bread (or at least from wheat flour). I've never used them myself, and wouldn't even know where to find 'em at the grocery -- but amazon.com sells 'em! :-D -- BlueBrooke 254/225/135 |

They will probably work just fine. My new daughter-in-law is from Japan , so i will check with her. It will be fun, because she and my son will spend their first American Christmas, as a married couple, here , with us. They aren't kids ( 43 and 38) but a first marriage for each one. Gillian |

I've been thinking about a honey-baked ham, but they add too much sugar. WAY too much. The outside is like candy. You know, you can get pretty darned small turkeys, and you can order one fresh, never frozen. Which reminds me... There are also ducks, and don't forget about baked chicken. What's a good simple thing to cook other than steak and eggs? I have a slow cooker, if that helps. Steak and eggs are everyday staples. We're talking Thanksgiving. Also, there's a lot of carby crap that goes along with tg, mashed potatoes and so forth. What are some of the things you guys make, especially the simple stuff? Also, what's a good mashed potato substitute make out of cauliflower? That cauliflower stuff is repulsive. How was this cauliflower mashed prepared? Lots of us here eat it all the time and think it tastes fine. I wouldn't say it's as good as real mashed potatoes, but I think it tastes good. I've served it to people not on LC, including kids, and they liked it and couldn't guess what it really was made from. My newest version is to add some shredded cheddar and chives/scallions added at the end. I find cauliflower, like I said, repulsive, One thing that could make it worse is scallions. --Bryan- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - So, I take it then the answer is you've never even tried faux mashed potatoes made from cauliflower. Which is fine. But then you shouldn't go around proclaiming them to be repulsive, because as I pointed out, done correctly, they have little resemblance to cauliflower. I've had picky kids eat them. They couldn't tell what they were made from and thought they were some kind of mashed potato. |

I agree and have no problem with your recipe using the canned fried onions. It's a tiny amount in a recipe typically used only for Thanksgiving or Christmas, not a diet staple. No reason to get all worked up over it. Here's Alton "Hottie" Brown's Green Bean Casserole recipe -- with "real" onions.

They couldn't tell what they were made from and thought they were some kind of mashed potato. I like mashed cauliflower a lot, but I could never mistake it for mashed potatoes. It simply doesn't have the same starchiness, nor does it cause the surge of "contentment" neurotransmitters like potatoes do. Maybe if I were a kid who still had great insulin sensitivity, and my brain were already wired up from the other carbs I'd been eating all day, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. -- Aaron -- 285/254/200 -- aaron.baugher.biz |
