• Irish Eggs Benedict

    From Ed P@esp@snet.xxx to rec.food.cooking on Tue May 19 12:59:44 2026
    From Newsgroup: rec.food.cooking

    This morning, my friend and I went out to a local place for breakfast.
    When I lived in CT, we went often as it was very good.

    My favorite is always Eggs Benedict and they have a few versions. The
    Irish has their made in house corned beef hash. That was our choice
    today and as usual, very good.

    Glad you enjoyed it. I would have a hard time deciding in that place
    because there are to many interesting options. To be honest, the Irish
    option would drop to the bottom of the list. I like the classic Eggs
    Benedict but I would be sorely tempted to go with the smoked salmon or
    the Florentine.

    So why do they:

    "Subsititute canned hash - 12.99"

    Who would ever choose tinned over fresh made?

    I guess some people would like to save the $2 over the 14.99 version.

    Crazy!

    Freshly made corned beef is sublime.

    That smoked salmon for $13.59 is value for back there!

    There are some very frugal people out there. I used to work with a guy
    who was really cheap. One day when we were working the afternoon shift
    we went to a Greek restaurant for dinner one night and their special
    that night was grilled pork tenderloin. He asked me about tenderloin and
    said he had never bought it. He saw it in the grocery store but the
    price per pound was so high, or to him it seemed high. I told him that
    it wasn't really that expensive because there is no bone and very little
    fat, no inner fat to render away when cooking so very minimal weight
    lost when cooking it. I always find that pork tenderloin goes a long way
    and it is actually a pretty economical

    I get almost all my meet from butchers. Once in a while when I am in a
    grocery store I check out meat prices and I am amazed at how much more
    grocery stores charge for pork tenderloin.

    What pisses me off is the absurdly high price demanded for
    "stewing" beef, which is usually shin, the toughest of all cuts.
    It should be the cheapest.

    Stewing beef at U.S. grocery stores is whatever scraps they have
    from cutting other meat. Could be multiple cuts, including some
    too lean and devoid of connective tissue to stew properly.

    Stewing beef in my kitchen is chuck.

    Grocery stores most likely have much higher operating costs than a stand
    alone butcher. Depending on the size of the grocery store, they could
    be paying salaries to 30 or more people. Larger store, larger electric
    bill, etc.

    There may be some truth to that. On our trips to Denmark we have been
    invited for home dinners and a dinner reception where the menus were
    almost identical. There would be roast pork, boiled potatoes and mixed
    peas and carrots. Dessert was ice cream and preserved strawberries.

    Lucky you :) Half the food my mother cooked for us was Indonesian and
    that cuisine doesn't use Brussels sprouts or red cabbage, so that
    reduced the chance of having to eat either.

    I hated green peppers when I was a child. Now, I like them. I still
    don't eat peas. I wouldn't eat lettuce until I was a teenager. In the
    past two weeks, I've had about 50-60 L&T salads. There are days where
    I've made 7-8 salads, one every hour or two all day.

    Most of the pork tenderloin in see in grocery stores is sold in cryovac packaging often already seasoned. I prefer to season it myself, not buy
    some version that has been marinated in soy sauce or lemon-herb something.

    grocery stores charge for pork tenderloin.

    What pisses me off is the absurdly high price demanded for
    "stewing" beef, which is usually shin, the toughest of all cuts.
    It should be the cheapest.

    Agreed, stew beef is always very tough meat, hence the need for long
    slow "stewing". The high price is not justified.

    Most of the pork tenderloin in see in grocery stores is sold in cryovac packaging often already seasoned.  I prefer to season it myself, not buy some version that has been marinated in soy sauce or lemon-herb something.

    I find it to be a very versatile meat that takes minimal effort. My wife
    likes to make stuff it. That means I have to trim off the silverskin and
    then butterfly the tenderloin and pound it out but then she does the
    stuffing and cooks it. It can be cut into medallions and flattened out
    to be breaded and fried. It can but butterflied and marinated in a Greek
    style marinade and grilled. It can be sliced and marinated in soy sauce
    with some ginger and garlic than skewered and grilled like satay, or for
    that matter marinated in a satay preparation. All quick and easy.

    Cheap braising meats are no longer cheap. Years ago we often had things
    like beef stew, short ribs and oxtails. The meat was cheap. Stewing
    meat has gone up commensurate with other beef prices but short rib and
    oxtails have gone silly. When we were first married a steak would cost
    $3 or more. A big bag of nice meaty oxtails enough for two nights of
    generous portions could be had for 25-30 cents. These days a package of
    4 oxtails is at least $16 and that is barely a serving for one. Then
    you have to add lots of other ingredients, prep time and cooking. It's
    easier and not much more expensive to cook a steak.

    There are some very frugal people out there. I used to work with a guy
    who was really cheap. One day when we were working the afternoon shift
    we went to a Greek restaurant for dinner one night and their special
    that night was grilled pork tenderloin. He asked me about tenderloin
    and said he had never bought it. He saw it in the grocery store but
    the price per pound was so high, or to him it seemed high.  I told him
    that it wasn't really that expensive because there is no bone and very
    little fat, no inner fat to render away when cooking so very minimal
    weight lost when cooking it. I always find that pork tenderloin goes a
    long way and it is actually a pretty economical

    Indeed. Your Majesty should (and will) always receive the finest shit
    in the universe.

    The grand Dataw Publix supermarket.

    Even Ed approves this as a sole source supplier.

    Your Highness' wisdom is exquisite.

    Your Majesty could simply BAN this shit ... at least in dataw.

    And you could also petition Uncle Tojo to ban it in Hawaii.

    Almost everything on their menu looks good to me.


    What's not to like on that menu?


    The bell peppers and falafel chips and eggs. I'd eat it if there was
    no other choice, but I'd rather not.

    Looking at the menu, what the heck is a breakfast "wrap"? What is it
    wrapped in? No thanks to tortilla or lettuce wraps.
