Food Tip |
“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” |

“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it." |

Clean and pick green bean tips. In a dutch oven (or equivalent size
vessel), heat oil. Add curry paste and "fry" until fragrant, about 1
minute. Add broth, green beans, bamboo shoots (or other vegetable).
Bring to a rapid boil and cook like that for about 15-20 minutes
(watching that liquid doesn't reduce too much; add water as
necessary). Reduce heat to a hard simmer and continue cooking until
green beans are VERY done and have absorbed the flavor of the curry
broth. Serve in bowls over rice.
NOTES: If necessary, you may substitute whole frozen green beans for
fresh.
Thai Curry Paste: "Country Curry" or "Red Curry"; but they are all
flavorful. Mae Ploy and Tommy Tang are other good brands.
Bamboo shoots: I like to use a large can of bamboo tips because they
are tender and I can cut them into 1/4 inch thick round slices. You
can also use a couple of the small cans of sliced bamboo shoots, but
they will not absorb the flavor as well. I think carrots cut into
coins would also be good, if you like those. I tried potatoes once,
but they just disintegrated.)
