Weel, back home in Carolina, my mother could whip together a "coffee
pot roast"--where a half cup of strong black coffee was mixed with a
half cup of beef broth and poured over slices of pot roast marinated in
vinegar and browned in a pan, and I have been in Rio--you evidently
must have extensive exposure to Brazilian cuisine, because the only
thing in a clay pot I recall eating (and enjoying) was a black bean
stew they called "feijoada"--it's a heavy dish with various pieces of
salt pork and other meats (on Friday, they'll make it with fish) served
with rice with collard greens on the side.
I would be really interested in hearing more about the coffee and beef
combinations; if anyone is interested in the coffee pot roast recipe,
let me know.

Jane Margaret Laight
Had to get the original recipe with the exact ingredients from my
sisters--two of them have e-mailed me with the recipe, with slight
variations. So without further ado:
Mattie Laight's Coffee Pot Roast
1 beef chuck roast 2 or 3 pounds
1 cup vinegar
1 onion
1 or 2 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup of black coffee (brewed, if you can swing it)
1/2 cup of beef broth
Irish potatoes, carrots, peas, other vegetables (optional)
salt, pepper, other seasonings
Take a sharp knife and make slits in the roast and insert slices of
onion and garlic in the slits. Soak the meat in the vinegar and
refrigerate overnight. In the morning drain off the vinegar, mix the
coffee and the broth together, and pour the resulting stuff over the
meat. Simmer the meat (preferably in a Dutch oven although the skillet
will still work) on the stove for at least 3 or 4 hours (medium heat),
or until tender. Add potatoes and other vegetables while it simmers.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
This can also be cooked via crockpot--takes about 8 to 10 hours; cook
it on low.
Serves up to six.

>Mmmm! - Breakfast of English-killers!
A recipe for marag, courtesy of Kathy MacSparran Hayward of Calgary:
1/2 lb medium oatmeal
3 oz finely chopped suet
1 onion, finely grated
1/2 teaspoon salt; pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon ground mace
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 well-beaten egg
"a little stock" (or sheep's blood for the more sanguine amongst us).
Toast the oatmeal in oven. Mind that you mix the other ingredients in
the order given in the above list with the egg and stock. Put into
skins (from butcher, if possible) or place mixture in a greased bowl.
Transfer to a pan and boil for two hours
Kathy further notes: "You can either eat it straight from the pan, or
you leave it to cool and fry it in butter. Either way it is good but me
and mine prefer it better fried. Accompanied by a fried egg or two it
makes a great breakfast and provides you in one meal with a lifetime
supply of cholesterol"
I have also heard that it is a shure cure for a hangover.

Actually, it says "How to be a great American 101: You are what you eat
so it you want to be a lean mean fighting machine, like your great
American counterparts, you need to eat a beast. In America that means
beef - and lots of it."
That says nothing of food history and everything about eating beef,
Stupid. Next time get your ducks in a row before you make yourself look
like a dopey fool again.

Again it was about beef stew. But I can see how fighting for your own
significance in the shadow of great America can get you riled up. I can
only suggest that you self ban all US products, media, technology,
services, and culture and live in the woods. We can communicate via
smoke signals. Or you can play the bagpipes in your silly plaid skirt
and we'll respond with great American rock and roll and horny groupies.

Nothing. I just don't happen to like lamb. If I did like lamb I would
have given a lamb recipe. But I don't like lamb, so I gave you a beef
recipe. Understand? Read it slow or have a trusted friend explain it to you.

Great American Sarah gives what see gets. And great American Ken

holy matrimony. Don't get pissy - find a different woman. There's plenty
of fish in the sea but you need a rod to catch them. Plus, it's not how
deep you fish but how well you wiggle your worm.

I don't understand the coffee's part in this - is it a sort of
addition to the overall taste, like say, black beans in Chinese
cooking, or more like adding soy sauce and sesame oil to flavour the
dish and add or bring out a specific taste?

In the Gaelic world Cumberland is called Am Buidsear - The Butcher.
The Gaelic word is the Gaelic spelling of the English word "butcher".
You inspire me!
BLACK PUDDING
Called 'Marag' (Blood Pudding) in Gaelic (it also means a fat,
shapeless person!), this is one of the famous blood dishes that
Scottish people love. It usually accompanies other fried dishes, such
as bacon and eggs. While it might seem shocking to eat blood, don't
forget that all meat dish contain blood and it's the basis, with fat,
of gravy. Blood dishes are popular all over Europe, especially in
Transylvania... If serving to children, experience shows that the
ingredients are best left undiscussed at the table. Black puddings and
Mealie Puddings are usually stuffed in larger sausage casings of the
size used for garlic and other specialty sausages.
2 cups (1 lb.) suet (finely chopped)
2 cups (1 lb.) oatmeal
2 onions
fresh sheep's blood (may be watered down)
salt and pepper to taste
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl with fresh sheep's blood.
Stuff mixture into casing, tie well.
Place in large pan, cover with boiling water, boil gently for 3 hours.
Remove black puddings, allow to cool.
Cut into slices as required, fry in hot fat.
If you don't live in a rural area, a local slaughterhouse may supply
fresh blood.

I had always thought that whisky wouldn't go well with lamb, now I add
some to every lamb stew or broth that I make. Whisky also goes well with
chocolate.

In my recipe it draws out more flavor from the meat making it very beefy
- sort of like a reduced gravy. Yum-o. But I don't eat too much red meat
anymore, it very good for you.

more the latter--the coffee and the vinegar marinade tends to bring a
tartness, a tang to the meat--"zest" as my mother used to call
it--spices it up somewhat.

Interesting - but like you, I don't eat much red meat any more.

Most interesting - I must play with it!
Here's an Arab recipe using ground coffee and onion skins, called Beid
Hamine (Egg in a Bath) which I make whenever I fancy them.
(I'm currently on a smoked egg kick and will probably move on to
VChinese Tea Eggs or Japanese Soy Eggs fairly shortly!)
Beid Hamine / Hamine Eggs
Great favourites of ancient origin.
Put the eggs and skins from several onions in a very large saucepan.
Fill the pan with water, add ground coffee to the water to obtain a
slightly darker colour.
Cover, and simmer very gently over the lowest heat possible for at
least six hours or overnight. A layer of oil poured over the surface
is a good way of preventing the water from evaporating too quickly.
This lengthy cooking produces deliciously creamy eggs. The whites
acquire a soft beige color from the onion skins, and the yolks are
very creamy and pale yellow. The flavor is delicate and excitingly
different from eggs cooked in any other way.
As a footnote, I live in a Chinese community, and the Chinese, who
will eat anything that doesn't get them first always come up to me and
ask me what I plan to do with the onion skins I collect from the onion
displays in the local supermarket, as they are incurably curious about
anything to do with food.
I spent an hour yesterday playing Chinese Chess with the local Chinese
Chess addicts, during which I produced a flaky pastry egg tart of the
type so popular in Scotland, which I had just bought from a Chinese
bakery.
This led to a heated argument when one man said, "Ah, so you like
Chinese food!" I swore that it was an authentic Scottish treat
borrowed by the Chinese as there is no tradition of flaky pastry in
Chinese cuisine.
Furious lying broke out, with the Chinese claiming that egg tarts were
mentioned in the Chinese records of the sixth century BC, while I
assured them that the great Scottish military hero Loppet Bloose
(Robert the Bruce) had eaten half a dozen to give himself maximum
strength before charging into battle to destroy the evil English.
All this was dismissed with scornful laughter, needless to say, but I
felt that morally the Scottish egg tart stood untouched by Chinese
culinary aspirations.

So if you're going to eat it, might as well cook it to perfection.
