German style Halloween........? 
Nothing much to do with Halloween because it's not really celebrated in France. The 'Tousaint' (1st November is celebrated), but it's time for Halloween style vegetables and things....Image result for Potimarron French style....

Unknown Scottish and other.....endangered species!

Everyone knows the Scottish whisky (the single malts 'Glens' above all) the Scottish fresh salmon and smoked salmons, the Arbroath kippers and so on, but what about some almost forgotten things like 'Clootie Dumpling' which was a treat back in the late 40's and 50's for christmas and birthdays. Birthday cakes didn't exist to buy and were normally too complicated to prepare so - a Dumpling was required!
To know what I'm talking about here's a photo: Image result for clootie dumpling recipe without suet  It was also used in Scotland very often at Christmas to replace the 'Plum Duff'  Image result for Plum Duff of English origin, together with the 'custard' or as the French say 'crème Anglais'
The Scottish variety was also used the morning after sliced into thickish slabs and fried - in margarine because we had no butter, rationing forbid it!
The clootie dumpling is a delice, the main thing is having a cotton cloth big enough to put the mixture into for steaming for hours! Here is the recipe:

and some more Ancient Scottish treats:

There are other things which have fallen out of favour, like Bread and Butter pudding, again made with bread (old) and margarine (no butter available!)

Fumages - smoked food (F)

Fumages...........
(il n'a pas que nous qui fume......!)
Bien que la plus part des nourritures peuvent être achetées déjà fumée, il y a certain qui sont préférées, ou pourquoi pas faire le votre?
L'opération consiste principalement à soumettre une denrée alimentaire à l'action des fumées qui se dégagent lors de la combustion de certains végétaux. À l'origine, le but recherché était d'agir sur la durée de conservation du produit traité : c'est ainsi qu'à côté de la salaison et du séchage, le fumage appartient au groupe des trois procédés les plus anciens de conservation des denrées alimentaires. Par la suite, la recherche principalement d'une qualité gustative, et accessoirement, celle d'un mode de présentation du produit ont prévalu.

Plus connu c'est  le hareng fumée (EN Kipper) mais beaucoup d'autres poissons sont fumée, comme j'adore les saumons (Écossais, Irlandais et Finlandais , les anguilles- très populaire en Allemagne - facile a faire, regarder):

Bien sur les viandes et autres produits peuvent être fumé comme suite:

Drôle, mais même des gens qui n'aime pas trop le poisson ont tendance d'aimer les fumées......

Essayez les - vous allez être ravi!

Je suis certaine mon ami Mr Philippe Girard peut les faire dans la cheminée de son Pere......!  Une couronne d’office en fer forgé formant un dôme ajouré, décoré de volutes, est suspendue par une barre de fer torsadé au plafond en voute blanche du Musée de la Gourmandise ; un gros jambon et des saucissons de tailles diverses sont attachés à ses crochets par des ficelles.


Bonne Appétit!
