Subject: definitions of cooking terms
|
||
|
||
(These are from my brother-in-law, Bob Ekstrom, in Pitt, MN:)
|
||
|
||
tongue:
|
||
A variety of meat, rarely served because it clearly
|
||
crosses the line between a cut of beef and a piece of
|
||
dead cow.
|
||
|
||
yogurt:
|
||
Semi-solid dairy product made from partially evaporated
|
||
and fermented milk. Yogurt is one of only three foods
|

that taste exactly the same as they sound. The other
|

two are goulash and squid.
|
||
|
||
recipe:
|
||
A series of step-by-step instructions for preparing
|
||
ingredients you forgot to buy, in utensils you don't

own, to make a dish the dog won't eat the rest of.
|
||
|
||
porridge:
|
||
Thick oatmeal rarely found on American tables since
|
||
children were granted the right to sue their parents.
|
||
The name is an amalgamation of the words "Putrid",
|
||
"hORRId" and "sluDGE".
|
||
|
||
preheat:
|
||
To turn on the heat in an oven for a period of time
|
||
before cooking a dish, so that the fingers may be
|
||
burned when the food is put in, as well as when it
|
||
is removed.
|
||
|
||
oven:
|
||
Compact home incinerator used for disposing of bulky
|
||
pieces of meat and poultry.
|
||
|
||
microwave oven:
|
||
Space-age kitchen appliance that uses the principle
|
||
of radar to locate and immediately destroy any food
|
||
placed within the cooking compartment.
|
||
|
||
calorie:
|
||
Basic measure of the amount of rationalization offered by
|
||
the average individual prior to taking a second helping
|
||
of a particular food.
|

|
||
Thick, black, bitter coffee, traditionally served in
|
||
tiny cups at gunpoint.
