Oh, I didn't know that you know that over there, too :-) Yes, that's
exactly what I mean. I've heard that a bit of sugar could do the same job,
but I never tried - I even don't use "San Apart". My cream gets stiff
without all this stuff :-)
My dictionary says, that cream of tartar means Weinstein. I've never heard
about this. The egg whites always get stiffed when you avoid the egg yolk
dropping in. One little bit of egg yolk - no chance.

Write your reply.

assistant: Here's a recipe joke passed on by my mom, and I thought that I would pass
it on to all of you _CHEFS_ out there.
I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!
Here it is:
BEST RUM CAKE EVER
1 or 2 quarts rum
1 cup  dried fruit
1 Tsp  baking soda
       Nuts
1 cup  butter
2 lrg  eggs
       Lemon juice
1 Tsp  sugar
       Brown sugar
Before you start, sample the rum to check for quality. Good, isn't it?
Now, go ahead. Select a large mixing bowl, measuring cup, etc. Check
the rum again. It must be just right. To be sure rum is of the highest
quality, pour one level cup of rum into a glass and drink it as fast as
you can. Repeat . . .
With an electric mixer, beat one cup butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add
1 seaspoon of thugar and beat again. Meanwhile, make sure that the rum
is of the finest quality. Try another cup. Open a second quart if
nechessary.
Add 2 arge leggs, 2 cups fried druit and beat until high. If druit get
stuck in beaters, just pry it loose with a drewscriber. Sample the rum
again, checking for tonscisticity.
Next, sift 3 cups of pepper or salt. (It really doesn't matter.) Sample
the rum again. Sift 1/2 pint of lemon juice, fold in chopped butter and
strained nuts. Add 1 babblespoon of brown thugar, or whatever color you
can find. Wix mell.
Grease oven and turn cake pan to 350 gredees. Now, pour the whole mess
into the coven, and ake. Check the rum again and bo to ged.

user: You are replying to All about "swedish pea-soup".

Write your reply.

assistant: As I gather the most of You are Americans, maybe you would be interested in
an exotic typical swedish dish, the Yellow pea-soup.
I have no idea whatsoever how common it is around the world, but as it's
anyway cooking on my stove, I might as well share it with you in the mean
time. In Sweden we only eat it on thursdays.
Yellow Pea-soup, 6 portions
�����������������������
C:a 1lb.2oz/0.5 kg, or 1pt/0.6 lit., of dry yellow peas
1 onion
1 lb/0.4 kg salted side of pork
3pt/1.5 lit. water
2-5 Cloves
3-10  corns of Allspice or pepper
1 dried piece of Ginger
Salt
2-3 laurel leafs
To serving:
Marjoram and thyme
Mustard
��������������������������
How to do:
Put the peas in water over night, or at least 6 hours.
Mince the meat and onion coarse. The spices should be whole.
Change the water, add all ingredients, and cook slowly for about 1 hour,
or until the meat is soft and the peas have broken.
Taste with salt and herbs.
Serve it hot with mustard on the side, some bread and cold beer.
In Sweden, we also sometimes drink the Swedish drink punsch (not to confuse
with the british/american punch) with the soup. Punsch is a yellow, sweet,
alkoholic (20%) drink with a taste of arrack, and is usually served ice-cool.
With pea-soup, however, it is to be heated to about 40 degrees C (108F).
Hope it tastes!
