Hi, Cindy, my mother couldn't abide schmaltz as it made her ill. That'S why we cooked with vegetable or peanut oil and used this oil in making matzo ball soup. I don't think I'm allergic to it. Of course you and I know that pate is a fancy-shmancy way of saying chopped liver (grin). Regards and good eating, Kim. -----Original Message----- From: bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bksvol-discuss-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Cindy Sent: Wednesday, January 06, 2010 12:17 PM To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Ot: disagreeable ingredientsRE: Re: OT Southern Corn Bread Recipe Mother used to put the chickeen feet and gizzard in when she made chicken soup. I did enjoy eating them then. I didn't care for the heart, but chicken liver chopped with onion and a little chicjen fat (called schmaltz, I think) is good when spread on craackers (fancy name, pate If there's not enugh fat or onion, though, it's too dry and liver-tasting Cindy Wish List (i.e., books wanted added to the collection) and books-being-scanned list available at sites below Wish List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Bookshare+Wish+List Books Being Scanned List: https://wiki.benetech.org/display/BSO/Books+Being+Scanned+List --- On Wed, 1/6/10, Roger Loran Bailey <rogerbailey81@xxxxxxx> wrote: > From: Roger Loran Bailey <rogerbailey81@xxxxxxx> > Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Ot: disagreeable ingredientsRE: Re: OT > Southern Corn Bread Recipe > To: bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Wednesday, January 6, 2010, 10:07 AM As for chicken feet, when I > was a small child my grandmother had a flock of chickens which she > slaughtered herself and she thought the feet were something of a > delicacy.
