Salt Cod Cakes

^^^Is this what my Nonna called "baccala"?

salted cod is particularly Irish?

Baccala is dried salt cod. You have to soak it, sometimes in milk, to remove the salt.

I wonder if Greg flakes it or uses it in chunk form?

I think it's too late to start them, the cod has to soak a while.

[quote] salted cod is particularly Irish?

Let's start at the very beginning ...

I said, "Despite it being Saint Patrick's Day ..."

So no, R2, salted cod is NOT particularly Irish.

[quote] I think it's too late to start them, the cod has to soak a while.

Yes, it has been soaking for nearly 24-hours. Which reminds me that I need to change the water again.

Hi, Greg.

R5 The greatest St. Patrick's Day tradition of all is asking retarded questions about St. Patrick's Day.

Ooops, I read too fast. My apologies.

Lidia Bastianich has some great recipes with salted cod.

[quote] I wonder if Greg flakes it or uses it in chunk form?

Jasper says to break it into flakes after it is cooked, R3.

Making something out of salted snake would be far more idiosyncratic.

Hi, R7!

How are you today?

Are you keeping up with all the drama surrounding Team Greg?

WTF, R11?

Are you quite well?

G@R10, flakes after it is cooked? You make the fishcakes with cooked flaked fish?

R8, who asked a foolish question about Saint Patrick's Day?

Doing well. I am not keeping up with the drama (What’s the drama?) and didn’t even realize there is a Team Greg. If there is a Team Greg I’m on it.

Greg team (I’m a Gays and Tennis poster.)

[quote] G@[R10], flakes after it is cooked? You make the fishcakes with cooked flaked fish?

Jasper instructs one to boil the fish for 5 minutes, drain it, then break it into flakes.

Do you drain your cod?

Decreased reading comprehension must be a symptom of long COVID.

I'll say it again, so I don't have to say it again:

A famous Boston toast, R19.

Here's one for New Haven:

Here’s to the Town of New Haven

The Home of the truth and the light

Where God talks to Jones

In the very same tones

That He uses with Hadley and Wright.

And another one on Boston:

Here’s to old Massachusetts,

The home of the sacred cod,

Where the Adamses vote for Douglas,

And the Cabots walk with God.

My mom makes these to perfection. Takes forever to soak the lye out of the product.

G2r17, I can deal with a parboil.
