Hello Rose,

Southern Baked Pork And Beans
Ingredients :
1 lb. dried pea or marrow beans
6 c. water
1/4-1/2 tsp. crushed dried hot peppers or dash of cayenne pepper
Onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
1 bay leaf, crumbled
1 lb. lean salt pork, in 1 piece
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 c. catsup
1/4 c. molasses
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1/4 c. minced onion
1/4 c. brown sugar
Preparation :
There are endless styles of baked beans and almost everyone has a
favorite. For people who greatly enjoy the salt pork, this recipe
provides more than most. It is boiled along with the beans before
being baked. These are very attractive looking baked beans and more
highly seasoned than most. For 8 servings you will need: 1. Pick
over and wash beans. Put in large kettle and add water. Bring to
boiling. Boil hard for 2 minutes. Let stand covered 1 hour on
stove. 2. Add hot pepper, onion, garlic, bay leaf and pork. 3.
Bring to boiling again. Reduce heat and simmer 1 hour or until
tender but not mushy. Drain, reserving liquid. Skim off fat. 4.
To 1 cup liquid, add Worcestershire sauce, catsup, molasses,
mustard, salt, black pepper and minced onion, mixing well. 5. Put
beans in 2 quart shallow baking dish. Pour in the 1 cup liquid and
seasoning mixture. 6. Remove any rind on pork. Cut in to 8 or
more slices. Arrange on top of beans. Sprinkle with brown sugar.
7. Bake uncovered at 400 degrees about 1 1/4 hours, adding more
liquid if necessary, until pork and beans are glazed and nicely
browned. Tips: These beans taste better when reheated and can be
eaten at room temperature. Cold beans make a hearty sandwich
enjoyed by many. To get a head start, boil beans ahead, cool and
chill. Finish off and bake for mealtime or get beans totally
oven-ready. Chill. Allow 15 extra minutes baking time. Good
served with: Cabbage slaw, sliced tomatoes and hot corn bread. For
4 servings: Half of the ingredients and bake in a 1 1/2 quart
casserole.

American Pork And Beans
Here is a recipe for canned pork and beans that is very good! 3
c. tomato pulp, strained or 1 c. tomato sauce and 2 c. water 6 tbsp.
sugar or molasses 2 tbsp. vinegar 1 tbsp. salt 1 tbsp. minced onion
Dash of cayenne pepper, paprika, cloves, and cinnamon Cook
everything, except the beans, until well blended and medium thick.
Pick over the beans; wash and soak overnight or about 6 hours.
Drain. Cook in pressure cooker with enough water to well cover them
for 20 minutes. If not soaked, add more water and cook for 40
minutes; drain. Save the liquid for soup if you wish. Place small
pieces of salt pork in the bottom of a greased deep baking dish with
lid. Add the beans and additional pork; cut in small pieces. Cover
with the tomato sauce made from the recipe above and bake in a slow
oven for 1 1/2 hours with the lid on. Watch them and don't let them
bake dry. Add extra sauce or a little of the saved bean juice.
These can be used at once or may be frozen or canned. If you are
canning them, cover the beans in the jars with the sauce (heating
additional amount if necessary) and process in pressure cooker 60
minutes at 10 pounds pressure. Or can them in water bath for three
hours.

Hello Jen,
The only thing that I can find that seems near what you describe is the recipe below.
Phaed
Southern Cheesy Date Biscuits
1 (8 ounce) package whole pitted dates
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup milk
30-35 biscuits
Preheat oven to 375^F.
Sift together the flour, cayenne and salt.
Set aside.
In the medium bowl of a mixer, beat butter and cheese until well blended.
Mix in the flour mixture.
Add milk making a stiff dough.
Completely enclose each of 35 dates with 1 tablespoon dough.
Place each dough covered date on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
These can be formed in advance and baked as needed.
Serve warm.

Hello Helen,
Omelettes and scrambled egg can be prepared in the usual way. The yolk of the emu
egg is very pale so the result will be paler in colour than when using a chickens eggs.

Emu Egg & Sausage Brunch
1 pound emu breakfast sausage
1 green pepper, finely chopped
1 medium onion finely chopped
2 medium emu eggs
1/3 cup milk
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
salt & pepper to taste
paprika (optional)
Crumble emu sausage and cook in a large skillet over medium high heat.
When sausage starts to brown, stir in green pepper and onion. Cook until
sausage is browned and onion is soft. Drain well and spoon into a 8" (20 cm)
square baking pan.
Beat eggs with milk, salt and pepper. Cook in a large skillet, stirring
constantly. When eggs are set but still very moist (the consistency of
soft oatmeal), remove from heat and stir in cheese, reserving 1/2 cup
for the top. Immediately pour over sausage; sprinkle
with reserved cheese and paprika.
Bake in 325' F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until eggs are set. Cut into
squares. Individual servings may be re-heated in the microwave on MEDIUM
for 1 minute.
Makes 8 servings.
