DIRTY LITTLE SECRET!!!!

[kc5tpy]

Reading the posts made me remember.  I never got into this one but I am sure some of the older members have eaten it:  one Grandpa used to have left over cornbread, crumbled in a glass of buttermilk and a sprinkle of sugar.  The one I did like but haven't eaten for years came from the other Grandpa.  Oatmeal for breakfast.  Not the milk, butter and sugar stuff.  Oatmeal with butter, salt and quite a bit of black pepper.  It just works.  My British wife makes me smile.  I like showing her flavours we take for granted back in the States.  She loves going to IHOP when we travel back BUT she can't understand bacon, eggs AND pancakes with syrup.  She has some eggs and bacon and then eats her pancakes like a dessert.  I kept telling her about bacon and jelly/jam.  She just can't "get" the sweet and savoury thing.  My work mates don't get it either.  Finally one day I ran in ( not letting her see it ) with a piece of toast with bacon and grape jelly on it, told her to close her eyes and just taste this.  What she said was: " That's just SOO wrong"!  Big smile on her face and then added: " but it's really, really good!"  Even though the things may sound strange you can get a big kick out of introducing new ( weird ) flavours to someone.  Brings back the memory of the first time you tried it as a kid and thought WOW!!  Keep the comfort food tradition alive in the family, it's ok to screw up your kids with some great tasting odd concoctions.  Never hurt us!

It also can come with scrambled eggs. I have also seen it made with Portuguese sausage.

So which way do you suggest making them Case? Small nori lots of rice or completely wrapped in nori rice on both sides

Just use regular steamed white rice.

We also make them with pork katsu (thinly sliced breaded pork), chicken katsu, Teri chicken, and tamago eggs. Some times for breakfast I'll do spam and a fried egg musubi.

I like the nori so I vote for the fully wrapped. I also like wasabi with mine.

Katsu would be tasty!

My ultimate favorite guilty pleasure is Loco Moco! If my arteries would let me, I'd eat it everyday all three meals!!!

My wife likes to crumble up saltine crackers in a bowl and put milk and sugar on them. I call it her "white cracker" cereal.... lol

Hey thanks Case.  Sort of a sushi meets good pork fat taste.  I am not a fan of eating bait but if you replace that with fried spam I am THERE!!  I know, old dumb country redneck hick when it comes to eating bait but too old to change now.  

  That looks like some fine eats.  I saw that Loco Moco on D.D.D..  WOW!  What is not to like about that??  Have been too darned lazy to make it for myself but nothing there you can fault.  In 1987 I won a trip to Oahu from a radio show.  Stayed at the Royal Hawaiian, right on Waikiki beach.  ( Just as a side note the hotels bring in a crew and rake the sand on the beech each night ).  Our room was $195 per night.  For that we had a lovely view of the back alley and the dumpsters.  It was going down hill then but you could see why all the movie stars stayed there back in the 50's/60's.  We travelled all over the island and I tried to stay away from the tourist places but I must have failed miserably because I never came across either of these dishes.  Thanks for sharing folks.

I've had troubles finding both musabi and Loco Moco on different islands other than the big island! On Kauai a few years ago I could only get Loco Moco at two places, and the one was open when they wanted to be and closed when they wanted to be. Needless to say they were closed every time I was there! The one time they were open we'd just are.

Musabi can be a bit of an acquired taste. If you don't like Nori or Furikaki that might be a negative.

The loco moco was invented here on the big isle! Café 100 in Hilo invented it a long time ago. They have all kinds of different varieties! My favorite is a fish moco: grilled fish, fried rice, teri sauce and a over easy egg on top.

I'm making some musubis right now... Not smoked ones though. My daughter gets home from school soon and she LOVES them.

What a great thread!

When I was a kid, my mom used to give me leftovers of all kinds in my lunch. 
I would never know what was going to be in there.

Some of the weirdest sandwiches she made me includes: 
Baked beans (nothing else, just cold baked beans),
Cream cheese and black olives.
Spam with lettuce and mustard (cold right out of the can with that nasty gel still on it).

Once I moved out, I adopted this one of her concoctions:
A can of Campbell's Beef with vegetables and barley soup, heated up with NO WATER so it was thick like a stew, served over a bed of Instant mashed potatoes.

My own additions:
A can of chili heated up and stirred into a box of the Velveeta shells and cheese
Spread some sour cream onto bread or some kind of a dinner roll will hold you over.

I fell in love with SOS when I was in the Army.  Whether it was ham or beef, it didn't matter.  My wife will still surprise me with it every once in a while.
Same thing with corned beef hash - fried up so that it's got crispy chunks in it with fried eggs! YUM!

Awesome thread!

I was hoping someone would bring up SOS. While I never spent any time in the military, it was something my mom used to make that I absolutely loved. Buddig "chipped" beef, flour, milk, salt and pepper over toast. Haven't had it in years but may have to fire up a batch.

One thing I do still frequently enjoy is Minute Rice cooked then loaded up with butter, cinnamon and sugar. Almost like a hot breakfast cereal. Goes great with pork chops.

Thanks for bringing back some great memories!

I'm guessing that on Kauai you'd have to look for their version of spam musubi... Goteburg musubi! I swear they go nuts for that stuff...

I need to see if I can find some of this stuff, so I can try it. ...

Just looked it up and will have to get work to buy it. Something about $45 after shipping for 2# just is not on my budget list.....

Maybe some of the Asian markets will have it....

 

[jarjarchef]

So quick question.....

The brown garvy for the loco moco....... is it just a standard brown gravy like you see with a Salsbury steak or something else?

 

[java]

hamburger gravy over mashed taters, nuff said!

Yep I just buy the cheap brown gravy packet. My friend who introduced me to Loco Moco used a family recipe, one that couldn't be passed around. Some do use mushroom gravy.

Thanks for the great article! Next time we are there I'll have to look for it! The sausage looks like summer sausage except expensive!!! Going to have to do some research on it.

Hello Cwmcintyre.  If SOS isn't mentioned here it should be.  We did have a thread started on SOS around the same time as I started this one.  Maybe that's why.  It may also be that folks don't consider it as "junk food".  I know it is a staple at my house.  One of the first things I made for my English wife.  Now she can't get enough of it.  If I am cooking the weekend breakfast I have no need to ask what she wants.  Apparently I didn't make it often enough so she made me show her how to make it so she doesn't have to wait for me.

Glad the memories came back for you.  Keep Smokin!

next time try SOP instead of SOS... use a big ol baked potato instead of toast ....

 

[dirtsailor2003]

I introduced my boys to SOS last winter, they've been requesting it ever since! The oldest asked what SOS meant, my wife stopped me before I Blurted it out.
