Nut House Cook and recipe thread

[TcSoup]

Made some old fashioned Italian immigrant food.  Dish is called suffreit.  People make it different but I have our version.  Main ingredient is chicken gizzards hearts and livers.  Cook like a stew in some very thin tomato sauce add in mushrooms and zuchinni and of course the good old red  pepper flakes.  Had it with some fresh Italian bread and butter.  Good old school comfort food.

I tell no one I make it and somehow my brothers sniff it out and they know I am making it and want me to save them some.  We ate this ***** growing up because well it was poor people food and we got away from it for years then I remember having a taste for it when I was in my early 30's and been making it since.  My kids love it though my daughter stopped eating it for a while when she found out what was in there.

My Mom used to Coat and Fry Chicken Gizzards and Hearts on Friday nights. Hmmmm Goooood 

She wasn't Italian more of a Louisiana Scottish redneck, Who could Fry anything.
She improvised that from my Italian Grandma on my Dads side. 

My sisters and i weren't a big fan of the Liver ......

We struggled also when i was young. I never want to eat Spam ever again or Fake Mashed Potato's out of a Box......

Just warmed up a big bowl of my pinto beans cooked in the slow cooker Monday and then stirred/chopped in a tin of King Oscar boneless skinless sardines.  Topped off with salsa.  Life is good.

I hope you are single and alone.   Those beans are going to float you to the ceiling with gas for a day or so.

Chili does that to me , Had it Sunday over Spaghetti with Franks Red Hot Sauce as part of my recipe. Covered with a dab of Sour Cream and Cheese .. 

Was still taking Gas pill before bed last night. LOl

That is a neat story, thank you for sharing.   Yeah I think the Italian part of it was putting the sauce on it like a stew.  To be honest it was just plain ole poor people food.  I had 6 other siblings and a dad who passed way too early.  I would go with my mom to the butchers and well that stuff was so much cheaper per pound.  Yeah the liver is very acquired and my friends won't eat it because of it.  When I was little they would sell the lungs too  oh that stuff was so bad which is why when we got older we would not eat the stuff.  Like other things once my mom passed I started to miss some of that old time food.  My sisters still won't touch the stuff.
Next month I make Polenta for New Years.  All it is is Mush but we put sauce on it and some ground sausage.  In the mornings if there is any left we put syrup on the unsauced sections and eat it for breakfast.

OK speaking of some old time food I am making a crock pot favorite in out household this time of year.  I buy Isaly's chip chopped ham and Isaly's barbeque sauce and throw it in the crock pot.  Let it heat up and serve it on some fresh kaiser rolls.  Dropped some potatoes in the deep fryer to have on the side.

Isaly's was a Youngstown based company who went out of business years ago.   Anyone heard of Isaly's?   Obviously the dish can be made with any old chip chopped ham.
Speaking of Youngstown based companies anyone hear of Schwebels bakery or do they sell Schwebels bread in your neck of the woods.  Schwebels actually started in my hometown in Campbell by the Schwebels family who sold it our of their home.

Final question is did or does anyone eat fried balogna??

My questions are 
1.  What do you think of this dish?
2.  Anyone hear of Isaly's before? 
3.  Anyone eat fried balogna?
4.   Do you have Schwebels bread in your neck of the woods?

[TcSoup]

1) Dish sounds like something i would try.
2) No
3)love Fried Balogna there is a small town up 23N out of Columbus called Waldo, Ohio they have 2 Restaurant that vie for the crown of having best Fried Baloney Sandwiches . Hmmmm
4) Yes we do down here in Columbus. Their Italian Bread is the only one me and the Wife buy. Have 2 Loafs right now.
One is opened and almost gone. We keep a 2nd one in the fridge .

Thankfully no. I can't stand seafood, the smell is even awful. I would just get a couple of hamburgers on the way home.

Thank you for posting.  3 pounds for 60 bucks??  Wonder what is going on there.  Typically 8 bucks a pound.  Hell for that price I might as well get more crab  legs
