Thank you.
Borky was delishus. Not dry at all, moist, so tender, sauce was killer. Fell apart in the pan.
Gotta say the fresh roast beets were also awesome.
And I have all kinds of leftovers.
Happy New Year to everybody !

Thanks for taking great pics of your cooking. I asked two different people to take pics here, but got nothing.
I ended up making a hybrid cross between a tarte tatin and an apple cobbler for dessert.

You are so welcome. I love a good brisket but it is a lot of effort. Rosh Hashanah is the perfect holiday to do one.
Hope you had a great holiday.

That sounds pretty good. Let me know if you get to the Syrian bakery first, that place I gotta try.
So I know itâs not kosher and probably borders on the sacrilegious.
But I just had to do it.
BRISKET PIZZA !
Here are the toppings
I loaded this baby up with close to a pound of savoury juicy brisket.
Final assembly close to an inch thick.
This Portuguese sport pepper is going on my half as Helga would not approve.

Yes Joon it would be fine. Pardon the sacrelidge here but chuck or brisket - itâs all really just pot roast. Beef braised low & slow with your preferred additives. Brisket takes a little longer than chuck in my experience but maybe because itâs usually bigger than your average piece of chuck. One caveat - the beef has to have enough fat to withstand the braise without drying out. Hence - round is not preferred although corned beef round can be very good.
So, just to bring closure to the thread, I broke fast last night at Sichuan Cottage with shrimp, cumin lamb, and ants climbing the tree. And now Iâm waiting for my Frankie Fedâs sausage pie with house salad and house dressing.
Cooking is overrated

There has been some wonderful archaeological work on medieval Jewish sites in Cologne recently.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/1700-years-of-jewish-history-come-alive-in-downtown-cologne/ I actually saw some of the work with a Yekke friend.
Speaking of archaeology in Köln, I understand that German Rail did not renew the lease for the Rievkoochenbude in front of the main train station.
This is a tragedy.
They used to go through 100 tons of potatoes a year.

Iâm a lapsed Catholic, but Iâm always intrigued by Rosh Hashanah meals. I found this while looking for parsnip tzimmes.

I grew up in the Rhineland (Bonn), and Rievkooche were a staple at any Kirmes or Weihnachtsmarkt. I personally preferred Backfisch over them, but my dad was a huge fan <3
Oh, my. Mea culpa for responding to a 5-year old thread!

Itâs a cooking thread, Iâm guilty of bumping it, but I rather have a comprehensive Rosh Hashanah thread than a new one.

My son just said âthatâs a lot of money in Le Creusets right thereâ. I said âyes, itâs also a lot of money in brisket right thereâ!
