kakapo Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Eggs benedict really is very simple. Spend several years working in a French kitchen as a commis chef perfecting the hollandaise, before coming back to England to set up a small holding to raise chickens and pigs. Now spend several years clearing up chicken shit and learning how to butcher your own pig and cure your own ham. You are now ready to make Eggs Benedict. Sorry, I've just inadvertently regurgitated some repressed chef wank fantasy thats been foisted on the British public for the past 10 years.

Fred McGriff Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 can we further discuss white pepper and black pepper? I was under the impression that ground white pepper was posh. I only recently got some so as not to ruin the aesthetic appearance of some apple puree I was making. before then I had never been aware of it. black pepper is the regular table pepper here in the states. it's my understanding that Pepper is a vine that grows on a stake and has tentacles similar to orchid roots. The peppercorn bunch is 3- 5 inches long with small round green berries. When ripened, the peppercorn turns from green to yellow and red. Black pepper is harvested while the peppercorn is ripe, but still green and is then sun dried. Green peppercorn yeilds 33% black pepper by weight. White peppercorn requires much more work. The peppercorn is picked when the it is red and fully ripened. The peppercorn is soaked in water to soften the husk for 5-7 days. The husk is then removed. The peppercorn is then sun dried. Ripe peppercorns yield 27 percent white pepper by weight. Since white pepper does not have the husk, it is stronger than black pepper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perunamuusi Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 if you want posh. go for those pink peppercorns. i only discovered them about a year ago in aposh persons house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perunamuusi Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 I only recently got some so as not to ruin the aesthetic appearance of some apple puree I was making. this is partly why white is better than black in an eggy situation... welll, not so much the appearance, though partly that i suppose but who wants little crunchy black bits in their egg yolk NOT ME SIR plus you can get a more even distribution with finely ground white pepper creating a better egg:pepper ratio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest countchocula Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 how is possible to make value ham i wonder. a pig is a pig at the end of the day. do they just feed them shitty cheap food? they take scraps from a pig and add salt water. then they compress this scrap and saline slurry into a block of what is barely passable as ham.
