Hello Chuck,

I cannot find any coney sauce recipes from National or Leo's or Athens. The second recipe below claims to be a clone of Lafayette Coneys. The first recipe below is probably better. It's supposed to be the original Detroit Greek Coney Island Sauce recipe. I don't have a way to calculate the carbs in these recipes, but just looking at the ingredients, I'd say Dr. Atkins would approve.

Original Greek Coney Sauce

1 pound Ground beef
1 cup lard
1 medium Onion(s), diced
1/3 cup Chili powder
2 teaspoons Paprika
1 teaspoon Black pepper, coarsely ground
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Cumin powder
1 teaspoon Allspice
1 teaspoon Basil, dried
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Oregano, dried

Preparation:
To get the right consistency, cover the meat with water and soak, in the
fridge, for about 30 minutes. Then take a fork and break up any remaining
chunks. Drain the water and go on to browning. You will have some water
while browning but it will slowly steam off.
Brown beef, onion and shortening.
Add remaining ingredients.
Simmer for 2 hours. You may have to add some water.
This freezes well.
---------------------------------------------
Lafayette Coney Island Sauce

ground cumin, 1 t. turmeric, 1 T. chicken bouillon powder (or 3 cubes
mashed) and 6 oz. V-8 juice. Blend briefly to combine, add to meat and stir
til smooth and thickened. Remove 2 c. mixture to a blender, puree and
return. Serve spooned over hot-dogs or in bowls as a chili.

Detroit Chili Dogs - Food.com

The recipe I forwarded to you was one that we made for New Year's a couple of years ago.  
It turned out well enough that we posted it to Food.com.

As you obviously know, the concept of Detroit Coney chili/sauce is deep and convoluted.  
Recipes have become co-mingled (as is ours) with the taking of the prominent, common, 
agreed-upon ingredients, and then dropping back 5 yards and punting as to the spices & etc. 

Its pretty much a given that Detroit coney chili starts with heart, ground beef, and suet.  
That's where the texture, flavor, and overall fat attributes come from.  From there, its 
all interpretation. 

We just wanted to throw our recipe into the fray, since our family and friends who tried 
it with us all said it was pretty much as we all could remember.  
Unfortunately, none of us venture down into the city to refresh our memories. 

Thanks.  
Chris.

Sesame Chicken

I too have been trying to duplicate the sesame chicken recipie, but to no
avail.  Last week I came across a recipie, changed some ingredients, and it
WORKED!  Best sesame chicken I've ever had, bar none.

Combine in a bowl:
2 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
3 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds (I add more because I like lots of seeds)
3 tablespoons brown sugar (add more to taste, depending if you like it sweeter)
1/2 teaspoon Chinese hot chili oil (again season to taste depending how hot
you like it)
1/2 small FRESH lime juice

Pour into saucepan
Make a cornstarch paste (using water) and pour into above.  Simmer until
slightly thickened.

Chicken:
Chicken tenderloins cut into bite-sized pieces
Combine flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper and put into zip lock bag.
Put chicken into bag with flour mixture to coat well.
Deep fry chicken until golden brown
Put chicken into a bowl and pour most of the sesame dressing and toss.
Place chicken on a bed of shredded cabbage (available in stores already shredded)
Pour remaining mixture over and serve hot.

If you want to use the dressing cold, do not add cornstarch, but pour over
shredded cabbage and sprinkle some shredded carrots and chopped cucumber
(without seeds) on top.

This is really good and works wonderfully both hot and cold.

Medieval Carving Wax

Hi there -

I hope you can find this because I have run out of places to search.  I am
jeweler doing research into methods used in the Byzantine and Middle Ages.
I have found numerous references to making carving wax for use in lost wax
casting using beeswax and turpentine, but I cannot find any specific
recipes.  There are a few modern ones but they contain ingredients such as
paraffin that are contemporary.  I need one with natural ingredients that
would have been used in the Middle Ages that does not include things that
are hazardous or toxic such as lead.

I really hope you can help with this.

Thanks....  Maya

Hi Maya,

Well, from the information that I could find, medieval jewelry casters used pure beeswax for this purpose. Nothing that I found mentioned a recipe, as such.

Take a look at these websites for info & tips:

Signet-Ring Armor-Mount Pewter

If you need a source for beeswax, try these sites:

Peavy Beemaid Curry's Silver Bow Honey

If none of this turns out to be what you want, get back to me.
