2207.0. "Boiled Dinner" by FDCV06::WILSON () Wed Jan 17 1990 09:46

             EASY BOILED DINNER
    
    This is the easiest boiled dinner I have made, if anyone has anymore
    boiled dinner idea's, please reply. Thanks, Charlene.
    
    Ingredients:
    
    1 head Cabbage
    2 bags Carrots
    8-10 Potatoes
    1 Daisy Roll or Pork Shoulder
    
    * On the Daisy Roll package (next to Hams in Supermarket)
    it only has Oven directions, just boil for the same amount of time)
    
    Fill a large pot with water, add the daisy roll. Cook for 1 and 1/2
    hours. After 1/2 hour, add carrots then potatoes. (personally, I only
    cooked my potatoes for 45 minutes, instead of an hour, so they would
    be solid enough to pick up with a fork and not turn into mush. You can 
    even throw a couple whole onions in at the same time if you want), then
    on your last 1/2 hour, break up cabbage leafs and put into water.
    
    
     After this hour and 1/2 of cooking, you have a delicous boiled dinner.
     Good with Rolls.

2207.1	Daisy roll???	MADMXX::GROVER	The CIRCUIT_MAN	`Wed Jan 17 1990 10:17`	11
	Ah.... excuse me, BUT what is "Daisy roll"? When we do boiled dinner (my favorite meal), we use a corned beef and boil/simmer it most of the day. After which we add the veges and allow to cook till tender. Then add the cabbage... I also put in a turnup (rudabaga(sp?)) with the potatos. Not so quick, but equilly tastie...! With an American flair, we serve our boiled dinner now with "johnny cake" (sweet corn bread) which adds an interesting twist. A... the ultimate melting pot.!

	RE .1, that is exactly what it's called, a Daisy Roll. I got mine at the Super Stop & Shop, and it was called a Daisy roll, and then on the back it had another sticker that read "Pork shoulder Butt", it ends up tasting like ham. Charlene
2207.3	Ah.. YUM..!!	MADMXX::GROVER	The CIRCUIT_MAN	`Wed Jan 17 1990 12:40`	5
	Thanks for the info... I had never heard it called Daisy Roll before. Is it (maybe) a type of brand name for the Pork butt. I'll have to look around the market to see if I can find it.!!
2207.4	ask if you con't find it	QUICKR::FISHER	Pat Pending	`Wed Jan 17 1990 14:15`	7
	The day shift meat manager can usually help you. There are often "local" names for different pieces and the meat manager can often translate. On any other shift you're likely to just get people who wrap and stack packages. I spent a lifetime cutting beef one summer. ed
2207.6	More commonly known as Daisy ham	DELNI::GMARTIN		`Wed Jan 17 1990 16:17`	8
	I make my boiled dinner basically the same as .0 but..... I cut the cabbage in wedges so that you're not trying to scoop out loose leaves. Also, I sometimes use corned beef as does .1. The Daisy ham in our area is wrapped in a red cellophane type material.
2207.7	add beans	NEWPRT::PEDERSON_PA	OUTTA MY WAY...I'm packin'a VISA	`Wed Jan 17 1990 17:52`	8
	I do the wedges,too....so much easier. I also add a can of drained green beans to the pot. serve with LOTS of butter and vinegar and salt and pepper.. pat
2207.8	My favorite kind of meal	JUPITR::SOUSAL		`Thu Jun 06 1991 11:12`	10
	For something different Add some Linguica(Portuguese sausage) and some pork spare ribs and it will be even better, also add broccoli to the vegies(don't let it cook too much) and you've got yourselves a great boiled dinner. The portuguese hard bread rolls are also a great addition to this dinner, you can find them at Super-Stop & Shop. Enjoy......... Lisa
