Dutch Oven recipes (for real)

@phendrick what a connection! I only got halfway through, had to bookmark it for later.

The spareribs over red cabbage and apples sparked my interest.

Pro tip: do not, under any circumstances, make soda bread. That shit is boring and nasty.

@UncleVinny I’m sorry I have to disagree here. Corn bread is basically “soda bread” and if you don’t like corn bread… Well. I feel bad for you.

Just different raising agents that need to be used correctly.

@UncleVinny I do have to agree that sourdough is overrated… It’s a huge waste of flour for most people and a pain in the ass and you can buy a brick of yeast and keep it in the freezer and it will probably last you 5 years. If you are constantly baking every couple days sure

@unksol whaaaaaat!? Cornbread is moist and delectable…it’s in an entire other Universe. Yes, it uses baking soda for the rise, but that’s the only thing it has in common with lifeless, dreary soda bread.

@UncleVinny I’m sorry all I heard you say was you like soda bread

@UncleVinny and for all I know you put sugar in your corn bread

@UncleVinny
if you think soda/salt rising bread is boring, you don’t know how to make it.
as @unksol said, corn bread is technically one. so are many fruited quick breads.
soda/salt rising bread has been used in many places in many times where yeast wasn’t feasible or available. you probably just had a bad experience … you know like eating at Olive Garden and thinking you know what Italian food tastes like.

Like eating at Taco Bell and thinking you know what TexMex food tastes like.

@mike808 @UncleVinny @unksol
Exactly!

@Cerridwyn @UncleVinny eh… I wouldn’t say yeast was unavailable… It was just floating out there. Just not in a store or a bag you could keep in the freezer…
And soda breads are quick rise chemical reaction vs yeast and gluton. That is how basically all cakes work… So it’s up to you how you use it. I like some kick in my cornbread so some spice jalapeno.

@Cerridwyn @unksol “modernized to taste delicious” because it’s usually disgusting.

@Cerridwyn @mike808 @unksol omg, you people are going on and on about soda bread. Ok, here’s the thing. I have a friend who is an excellent chef. He’s Irish, so every year we do a very Irish St. Patrick’s day dinner: boiled potato, onion and parsnips, soda bread, and corned beef. Maybe something else, I don’t remember.

The potato/onion/parsnip thing is appallingly dull, the soda bread is lifeless and disspiriting, but the corned beef is outrageously good…like earthbendingly sensational.

So…I honestly don’t care if there’s traditional Irish soda bread out there that’s super terrific. I’m never eating it again. If there are other soda breads out there that are good (cornbread is amazing, as I said), great, I will eat them. But I’m super skeptical, that’s all.

Make homemade corned beef, though. On that we can all agree!

@Cerridwyn @mike808 @UncleVinny have you told him it’s “dull”. Hard to go wrong with potatoes an onions… Parsnips are a little more eh

And you hate his bread

@PocketBrain Just have to weight and see.
