I haven't thought about it in decades. I like retro old-fashioned dishes, so it will be interesting to see your version. Retro food is popular here, the first example that comes to mind is an iceberg lettuce wedge with traditional chunky blue cheese dressing.<br /><br />The row of trees that has sprung up is quite attractive. I wonder what variety they are?Diogenesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-80011384822475343342018-12-13T13:13:59.650+01:002018-12-13T13:13:59.650+01:00Here's a definition of "to swiss" — ...Here's <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/swiss#English" rel="nofollow">a definition of "to swiss"</a> — a term I had never heard before either. It's kind of like "French fries", where "French" or "frenching" means a way of cutting potatoes or other foods into strips or lengths before cooking them. We just ate today's Swiss steak, and it was pretty good. The sauce was better than the meat.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-20848965657167848672018-12-13T13:02:30.084+01:002018-12-13T13:02:30.084+01:00Same here--never knew that there was a term, swiss...Same here--never knew that there was a term, <i>swissing</i>.

I tasted the sauce (aromatic vegetables and tomato) before the beef went in and it was delicious. Now it's all in the oven.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-15435110380129687092018-12-13T07:04:38.323+01:002018-12-13T07:04:38.323+01:00I never knew that, about the "swiss" par...I never knew that, about the "swiss" part of the steak. I remember it as a kind of not-awfully-good thing somewhere between a chop and a hamburger. Will be interested to see how yours turns out. There will be pictures yes?Emmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17365143273404503659noreply@blogger.com
