Pigs head, spine, leg - what to do?
Hi all
this weekend I had one of the best meat experiences of my culinary life. A group of us cooked a 40 pound pig outdoors over hardwood charcoal. It was spectacular.
I was honoured by the rest of the PRC (pig roast committee) and was given the head, 2 legs and spine (all meat removed on all) to make soup or some other creation.
Was wondering what fellow chowhounders could suggest or recommend I do with these left over bones. My first reaction was split pea soup but thought reaching out and looking for other ideas was a good idea.
Thanks in advance!
fennel pollen in TO?
Sounds like you got the last of it! They're out - hope to have more in the next 10 days - which doesn't help me as I was hoping to use some this weekend.
Thanks for the tips.
fennel pollen in TO?
Anyone have a line on this product? An old Toronto Life article says that a purveyor at St.Lawrence Market carries some - any ideas?
Flour - Hard to find in Toronto?
Thanks for the heads up. How do protein content and gluten relate? The higher the protein the more percentage of gluten?
Best fruit/veg delivery in Toronto?
Another vote for Front Door Organics, my wife and I used them for three or four years. We only stopped because we now live across the street from a weekly farmers market (which is more expensive btw). Great customer service and great selection/produce.
Flour - Hard to find in Toronto?
Specifically high gluten varieties? Also looking for good organic bread, and organic all purpose flours. Wondering where the bakers in Toronto go to get their flour?
Malt Syrup
Thanks very much, very kind of you! I'm going to try and find some in Toronto this week, I have to believe that I can find somewhere!
If not, I will certainly take you up on your offer, thanks again.
What we'll do for better food right!?!
Malt Syrup
I phoned them and they said they didn't carry it....do you have any other nearby suggestions? THanks in advance!
Malt Syrup
Thanks for the info?
Lets say a reciped calls for 50 grams (just a random quantity) of barley malt syrup, how would figure out how much of the dried extract to use in its place?

Looking for a wine cellar private dining venue...
NOt sure what your date is but if Splendido is re-opened in time they have spectacular cellar room dining
Eating suggestions around Bay/Adelaide area
I'd second Rodney's by Bay and Vertical. I'd skip Canoe and Bymark for lunch - but recommend Canoe for dinner.

Haisai - Stadtlander's New place?
Has anyone been or knows if it has opened yet? Can't seem to find anything recent online.
In Search of Romantic, Stellar Restaurant
would be interested in hearing about the mixed reviews on Chiado.....everytime I've gone it has been stellar. Have never had fresher, more honestly prepared fish in Toronto. Love the Portuguese wines too!
Le Paradis
great sweetbreads and grilled sardines. great all around value - wish it was easier to drop in and get a table.
In Search of Romantic, Stellar Restaurant
I highly recommend Chiado. My favourite place for fish in the city - fantastic wine list too.
Rebel House - What to order?
For brunch don't miss the "Rebel House Eggs" or eggs benedict. Delicious - eggs are usually poached perfectly and depending on how i'm feeling 1/2 fries & 1/2 salad is the preferred accompaniment.
