Pucky Sammiches

[kwyeewyk]

My wife makes me add fat to our burger and sausage, but at least it's good pasture fed home grown pork. She's from MN, and when I found out about the wild rice out there always wanted to try to pick some. She used to work at Hell's Kitchen in Minneapolis and they make an awesome porridge with wild rice. I see why the three bears liked porridge. Been wanting to try to make some kraut for a while, maybe this year, got a few cabbage plants going.

Good ribs should not need a sauce.

Wings are basically a food group.

Without moderation I feel butter can become pucky. Grey area tread lightly. Slabs of butter do not belong between burger patties(looking at you NE Wisconsin)

Fresh off the Treager......Wyoming Range mule deer, garden fresh lettuce Mrs. Fin allowed me to pluck from her garden, slow grilled at 265F for 45 minutes, a thin layer of Colby Jack for two minutes, topped with some sliced dills on a sesame wheat bun.

No pucky to hide this mix of amazing natural flavors. If this was a Zoom conversation, I would see all of your mouths watering,

Your Honor, the Defense rests his case.

Look at this guy pretending cheese isn't just pucky in its solid form....

Batter fried cheese curd with ranch is just pucky encased in pucky and dipped in pucky. I don't see the problem.

I'm imagining the camera man, first week on the job. After eating freeze dried all week in the backcountry hunting with Randy, success!! Dream job!!... get off the mountain to head home and stop in town for fuel and some real food at subway... 5 mins into the order looking around the room terrified like what did I just get myself into.

Probably a lesson here if you were wondering if Randy had some secret for running around the mountains successfully for 20 + years. The man has not taken in an empty calorie since hes remembered what they taste like.

Sometimes you have to suffer through things to keep a silent sponsor happy!

Wife’s favorite is miracle whip and JIF sandwiches on Sara Lee bread

Reading thru this is a gold mine. I can’t wait for the out takes when Corey reads thru this and makes it his next prank on Randy.

A rock in the pack for a few miles is nothing compared to filling his cooler with smuggled Pucky after he goes to sleep at night. Lol

I would be eating with the cameraman and not Randy if I were in that huntin group LOL. I like ketchup, mustard and sometimes red hot added to my burgers. I am one of those to add pork fat to my lean ground game meat IF I am making sausage LOL otherwise I do about 10-15% beef flat if I am making burger patties. I don't do 100% lean ground game meat unless I add something to keep it together or if I plan to use that ground game meat for meatloaf. I also like onions which would have Randy making me ride in the box LOL

Dilly Bars are their own separate food group. I suppose some caramel topping would be classified as “pucky”

Dinner experiment: puckyless brats...........for the win!

I understand the argument as framed by Big Fin about the calories for sure, and the tastebuds are still dancing to the happy polka played by spice, muscle and fat, boiled first and then crisped on the grill. No covering pucky to battle against the brat. (I notice that I didn’t feel the literary need to place pucky into quotations.......another possible indication of a conversion).

 

[WyoDoug]

Big Fin would have fun in our hunting camp because every burger and every brat gets pucky LOL, with some of us lots of it. Most of the brats get kraut to go with them too. I sometimes even take up rocky mountain oysters, deep fry them and we dip them in horseradish sauce or just use a bit of salt and pepper.

I was going to post something to this effect. What is cheese? It adds fat and salt which both enhance the flavor..... pretty much the same thing that mayo does. Pickles add salt and tang... same thing mayo does.


Team Pucky!

I do like a good quality brat or hot dog laid in a quality roll sans any pucky. You get to taste the bread and meat. I can see Fin's point on fat and calorie reduction. I bet pucky reduction or elimination would greatly reduce many's caloric intake.

You have to watch out for the quality of the pucky. If it’s made with soybean oil or other hydrogenate products you must avoid that, kiss of death. Salad dressing should be oil, vinegar, water and Italian seasoning or the yogurt based pucky dressings but in moderation for those. My favorite dinner salad is sardines, feta, tomatoes, green leaf or romaine lettuce, croutons and Italian dressing. Heavenly. Favorite trail sammich is liverwurst on sourdough with light olive oil mayo and stone ground mustard on opposing sides with onion slice, aged Swiss, green leaf or romaine and maybe tomato but always sprinkled with chiltepin pepper for some kick.

Reducing calories is a great way to be hungry but not a great way to lose weight or keep weight off.

Fat is food. Ditching the roll, potato chips, and cookies (aka simple carbohydrates) that go with our diet will slim you faster than reducing calories.

Yuck! Randy would ban pucky LOL. I would ban sardines. Can't even stand the smell of them.

How could this thread not mention BBQ sauce? There must certainly be an exemption for BBQ sauce. Not sure if it legal in my county to eat fowl without BBQ sauce. And truth be told, entirely too much of this thread has been about mustard. I am from MN. We use ketchup. Some think it is too spicy, but I like to live on the edge. The kids might even put it on hash browns.

If you don't use some sort of pucky, how do you even get it down the hatch? Not only does pucky taste good, but it is an essential lubricant. Nothing worse than trying to choke down a burger on dry bread.
