Gloucester Black Pudding - Recipe Of The Day

When a pig is killed, the blood should be caught in a pan, and a little salt must be stirred in with it while yet warm, to prevent its coagulation or thickening. This will serve to make you some hog's puddings, excellent things in their way, and for the preparation of which you must attend to the following instructions, viz.:—To every pound of blood, add eight ounces of fat cut up in small squares, two ounces of rice or grits, boiled quite soft in milk; season with pepper and salt, chopped sage, thyme, and winter savory, and some chopped onions boiled soft in a little milk or water; mix all these things well together, and use a tin funnel for filling in the cleansed guts with the preparation, taking care to tie the one end of each piece of gut with string, to prevent waste. The puddings being thus prepared, tie them in links, each pudding measuring about six inches in length, and when all are tied, let them be dropped into a pot containing boiling-water, just taken off the fire, and allow them to remain in this until they become set, or slightly firm; the puddings[28] must then be carefully lifted out, and hung to a nail driven into the wall, to drain them from all excess of moisture; and before they are fried or broiled, they must be slightly scored with a sharp knife, to prevent them from bursting while they are being cooked.


This is one out of the history books.  Does not sound very appealing in this day and age.  If you live on a farm and have access to all the ingredients, you could make it for the family, however, in this day and age, it could never be served to the public under any conditions.  An historical view of our culinary past.

Pour over them some white stock, judging the quantity by that of the fish; one ounce of butter, little curry powder, salt, lemon juice, a little sugar, and cayenne pepper. Boil the stock for fifteen or twenty minutes, then strain into a stewpan, skim and put in the fish, having it carefully prepared. Boil gently, without breaking the fish. Wash and boil half a cup of rice in water, and when cooked it should be dried and the grains unbroken. Turn the curry out on a hot dish, garnish with croutons of fried bread.

Meat Curry with Cabbage - Recipe of The Day

Curry in the spice-bazaar (egypitan) in Istanbul (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Half a pound of meat is plenty for this very hearty and inexpensive
dish.

Fry the onion, curry powder, and meat together in the usual way. When
nicely browned, add several cups of thinly-shredded or sliced cabbage.
Cover with water and simmer slowly until all are tender. Just before
serving acidulate. In India, tamarind juice is always used for this
purpose, but lemon or lime does very nicely. Carrots or turnips may be
used the same way and are excellent. Eat with or without rice. Usually
this curry is eaten with chupatties.
