Fake ribs - Douglas

[Guest guest]

Are you from Aberdeen or thereabouts, Douglas? I never heard of

butteries outside of NE Scotland. You can get vegetable shortening

which I believe plays the same role as lard.

I won't mention them as it will probably be considrered revolting. No,

veal is not included in my list as this was something I refused to eat

from an early age on moral grounds.

a component of them. I didn't really miss thm until tendermoon asked

that question and now I have a craving for that salty artery clogger.

My father is from Turrif, which is outside of Aberdeen, and my mother is

Welsh-Irish. Me, I am an African, born in the then Rhodesia, so I guess I m a

colonial African-Scots-something-or-other-joke. This scotsman, Welshman and

Irishman walk into a pub.....

 

Vegetable shortening? You are a star. I must definately try and find this. To

be honest, I have been a pseudo-vegetarian for a little while now but vegetable

shortening is something I have never actually thought of looking for. I normally

just throw in vegetable oil if the recipe required using lard with, well, mixed

success. But butteries are different, which is why when this subject was

started, I got the old craving.

Ah - I wondered how someone in Africa would be familiar with

butteries - they're not even well known down here in Edinburgh.

 

I don't know what the brand names for vegetable shortening would be

over there, Douglas. Here it would be Trex or Cookeen, and Crisco in

the US. It's all transfat and terribly bad for you but sometimes

you've just got to break out! I hope you manage to find some.
