Since the old-timer, Mr. Crawford, recommended this recipe and it is the star of Terpsichore’s best-selling cookbook at the Palmer Fair, the obvious choice is Jellied Moose Nose. 

After all, in the wilds of Alaska, you don’t want to waste a smidgen of the moose you just shot. 

If you actually make it and eat it, you will have earned the right to milk and cookies for the rest of your life. 

From the Recipe Book of Terpsichore Johnson 

Jellied Moose Nose 

Put a large kettle of water on to boil. 

Hack off the upper jawbone of the moose just below the eyes and boil it for forty-five minutes. 

Dip the jawbone in cold water and pluck the hairs from the nose. 

Wash the nose thoroughly. 

Boil the nose again in fresh water with chopped onion, garlic, and pickling spices until tender. 

Cool overnight in the water it was boiled in. 

The next morning, remove the meat from the broth and remove the bones and cartilage. 

Thinly slice the meat, pack it in a glass dish with high sides, and cover with the broth. 

Season with salt, pepper, or vinegar to taste. 

Refrigerate. 

As the mixture cools, it will jell so it can be sliced. 

P. S. I’m a pescatarian, so that’s my excuse for never having tried it.

 

Welcome everyone to my stop on The Fellowship for Alien Detection Blog Tour!  Today I have the pleasure of hosting the author himself Kevin Emerson.  He is going to share with you how important pancakes are to the main characters of his book and to everyone who is on an adventure!  The most important food in THE FELLOWSHIP FOR ALIEN DETECTION (and, arguably in all road trip adventures) is

I read and reviewed Sixteenth Summer a bit ago. It was a good read about a very sweet summer romance. One thing stuck with me long after the book, though and it had nothing to do with the romance. There was a part in the book where some of the characters ate fried fruit pies.

And my mouth has watered ever since?

Remember the fried apple pies from McDonalds? (There is even a facebook page devoted to these) I miss them! They should bring these back as a special once or twice a year I think. I would definitely be in line for those! I bet a peach fried pie would be outstanding as well.

Alas, I have no place around where I live that I can buy one so I have set out to try and find a recipe so I can make them.

The one I am going to try is Paula Deen's from Food Network.

I haven't tried it yet (waiting till fall) but I have tried and made these: Apple Pie Pockets. They are easy to make and so very good to eat. Print out this recipe and give them a try.

And if you've ever made fried fruit pies, share the recipe with me!
