I never did understand "baby back" ribs except as a Chili's Restaurant
commercial. I suppose he'd boil those ribs before he grilled them, too.

Those Hawaiians think we're stupid. They think we don't know they
swapped the h and the a in haole.

It's curious how he denies making declarative statements. He's wrong
about "white people" and what we like to eat.

White people are fairly resistant to the idea that colored folks have to deal with being identified by their race on a daily basis. They think it's all in the imagination of the colored's minds. OTOH, they just freak out at the mere mention of "white people." I don't get freaked out by the words "japs" "gooks" or "slopes" et al. I'm used to it. Why do yoose guys get so upset about these fairly innocuous words?

It's fairly obvious that posters in this group are interested in foods like spaghetti, hamburgers, soups, pizza, potatoes, BBQ, etc. That's just the kind of foods people like to post about. I'm fairly sure that there's not much interest in Indian curry, not in America, at least. And as a matter of fact, a lot of white folks do prefer chicken breast. Not all of them of course. Just 99.94% of them. What's the big deal? It doesn't mean they're inferior because of that. That's just what I've noticed.

I'm certainly entitled to my prejudices. Yoose guys are entitled to yours. Spam, McDonald's, people that eat at McDonald's, immigrants, Chinese, Mexican, funny looking colored people, Google Groups, canned soups, Whole Foods. Yoose guys are constantly bitching and judging others. That's all fine with me. What is not fine is people giving their opinion on my opinions. Have the decency/imagination/pride to come up with opinions of your own. Just leave my opinions out of it. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

I don't know about the entire U.S. It would be presumptuous to state any
opinion on the market penetration of curry in the continential U.S.,
just as it is presumptuous of you to generalize about eating habits in
places about which you know nothing.

I provided evidence that Indian curry is quite popular in the area in
which I live, which is part of the continental U.S.

If you like, I could point out that Boar's Head makes a curry-flavored
chicken breast, available in grocery-store delis wherever the store
feels the market would enjoy it.

I apologize for losing my shit and calling you a dumbass. It was uncalled-for.

It did make me wonder, though, how WWII would have played out if Hawaii had
not been under U.S. control in 1941. Would the Japanese have made their
move against Alaska, instead, or some other U.S. possession?

The attack on Pearl Harbor in Dec7 1941 was just one part of a wide
range of coordinated military actions taken by Japan. They also swept
down into southeast Asia, Hong Hong and the Aleutian Islands.

I'd be amazed if that's the case in America ; and it certainly isn't
true here.

I've never encountered that belief.

Not in the slightest. I'm used to being white.

The objection, here on rfc, is to your ignorant generalisations (about
whites, Americans, young people, old people).

I have to assume Hawaiians would not have such an affinity for SPAM were
it not for their being a part of the US before WWII. It doesn't explain
why they still eat a large quantity of SPAM. Likely more than the
people in Minnesota, where SPAM is made. Perhaps there are no real
cooking aspirations on that rock.

I'm guessing he's never tasted Cajun or Creole food. Couldn't call that
spicy or adventurous... oh wait. It is! It's also multi-cultural.

dsi1 seems to have very narrow assumptions about what people on the
mainland eat. It's kind of sad, really. It's a very large and diverse
country with many cultures and interests in different types of food.

He's stuck believing there is a black & white divide and never the twain
shall meet. I beg to differ.

I'm used to being white, too. My black friends are used to being black.
We don't generally point it out. We don't eat any differently,
either. We cook or order what we like. Race doesn't have a thing to do
with it.

True. Would they have taken Hawaii as a potential forward base for
invading the U.S. mainland, I wonder?

Well, there's an entire subgenre of science fiction that deals with such
stuff. Perhaps I'll see if one of those authors has speculated about it.
I've never been much into military history, but this question popped into
my head this morning.

Hi Cheri,

Just to add to the flow, I'm one of those rare ones who makes my own
breakfast sausage. This isn't uncommonly from my own ground pork butt.
Reason being is that is a side to using my grinder for bone in raw dog
food.

Every 2-3 weeks we have a little little grinding party here with us and
2 neighbors who like to grind their own dog food. My machine can't
handle bones bigger than chicken ones (and skip the leg bones) but does
fine with the necks, wings and spine. Depending on size of bird, can
do rib bones. Ground bone is a required part for healthy dogs. They
add a variety of supplments later to their portions based on their own
dogs needs.

Pretty much they supply the meats for the dogs (and we all provide the
ones we are grinding for our own 2foots use). I provide the vacuum
sealer and bags (ziplock or sealer types depending on what they want)
and get a small portion of the ground bone in dog meat for treats for
my 2 dogs). Of the neighbors, they need roughly 5 cups ground a day
between them (some labs and other larger dogs involved). To that if
curious, they add sweet potatoes, cooked rice, carrots, blueberries and
such to round out the diet.

Anyways, I have the better kitchen layout for this even though I lack
counterspace. In the 1960's when my house was built, larger kitchens
where you could have a table in there for 6 were 'the thing'. The
other 2 have kitchens that have been 'modernized' and no longer are
efficient for this purpose (unmoveable center islands with tiny sinks
and such).

Defrosting if needed, is done before they get here. Rough deboning
done too if the person has time and that meat type needs it but hey,
it's a mini-party so we happily deal with that!

Back to Sheldon's comment on time? He's right that once used to it, it
takes about 5 minutes to clean the grinder unless you have a less
efficient design model. KitchenAide presumably from others, is a slow
thing but it wasn't designed to handle some 40-80lbs of grinding at a
time.

In our case, we deconstruct and clean between each type of meat and
while one does that, the other 2 are setting up the next meat type to
grind (chopping or whatever is needed).

Generally takes us about 2 hours for the total run. Some will be
people food.

I don't have a thing against making your own sausage etc., I have done it
too, but...I don't post the whole story with nasty responses to someone
elses post about their sausage, hamburger, etc. like "Mr. everything I do or
like is the only way" does, usually with hateful words to boot.

Not really sure. Our basis of spices I think, is what we knew and were
raised on. No relation to skin color. There are some things that can
be racially related (hence a feeling of skin color).

Lactose intolerance. Thts actually an oxymoron sort of thing.
Europeans are oddly lactose tolerant all their lives for the most part.
This was probably a survival trait because those who could handle
cheese or milk later than adolescence (because it was available),
tended to survive. In other places, milk or milk products was simply
not a factor of available food so no genetic selection took place.
Seem right?

One of the things I never saw in Hawaii, was authentic mexican. If it
was there, I missed the place.

While Hawaii has many excellent foods, they tend to not be very
authentic unless left of them on the globe.

Agreed but I didnt know the name of Masala Dabba. I have 8 'curry
blends' here. That is what they are called in generic but each has it's
own charm and use.

Had it not been stolen, Hawaii might have probably become a protectorate of the US or Great Britain. If it was with GB, the US would not have entered the war when it did. What would have been the effect of that? Beats me.

The first shots fired on US soil happened in my little town. The Kaneohe naval base was attacked before Pearl. Perhaps history will repeat itself.

"Presumptuous" must be your middle name. I have tasted Cajun food. NOLA has a culture and a people that is their very own. There are many places on the mainland that have their local culture but probably none so distinct and prevalent. They do their own thing and they're proud of it. That's a good thing.

I hate to tell you this but you are wrong. Curry is as big in the USA
as it is where you are. It just isnt always called 'curry'.

That's the nutty mentality of a lot of the posters here. They believe that people can be controlled by other people. The are quite the arrogant twits.

I was watching a movie set in Ireland the other night. Somebody exclaims "blow me!" That was surprising because it means something quite different in the US. It means "go to hell" over here.

Boy, that was one depressing movie. Angela's Ashes.

DS1, sorry but we have lots of Indian food places here.

Google them and you get: About 24,600,000 results (1.39 seconds)

I won't even try to count them.

cshenk, in dsi1's culture, it's very important not to lose face, as
they only have one. So unless you want him to go through life
faceless, we should stop pointing out that he's wrong. It's a cultural

That's the nutty mentality of a lot of the posters here. They believe that
people can be controlled by other people. The are quite the arrogant twits.

I was watching a movie set in Ireland the other night. Somebody exclaims
"blow me!" That was surprising because it means something quite different in
the US. It means "go to hell" over here.

Boy, that was one depressing movie. Angela's Ashes.

I haven't seen that one. But 'blow me' here usually means 'blimey' or
'gosh' or 'knock me down with a feather' iyswim
