Subject: Request for recipe - Vienna Loaf from Clifton's Cafeteria
> Greetings,

> Description: the vienna loaf is a kind of turkey (and perhaps other

> dough) and then baked and served with gravy. I believe it's prepared with
> their leftover turkey meat and crafted much like a croquette, but has a
> drier texture than your average croquette. It also has vegetables in it -
> peas, carrots - and certainly some kind of binder like bread crumbs and
> perhaps egg. I believe it's made from cooked meat as I mentioned and not
> fresh ground meat because of the texture of the loaf itself - if you've
> had a croquette vs. a meatloaf, you know what I mean. The meat is more
> solid and seems almost "flaked" or grated with some smallish chunks of
> meat as opposed to an even "ground meat" texture you'd find in a meatloaf.
> The pastry seems most like pie dough to me and is nice and flaky.

Hello Lissa,
Sorry, I had no success with this. As you said, "Vienna loaf" is a type of bread.
I checked for similar recipes with the name "turkey loaf", but I did not find any
that had peas and carrots in them.

Subject: Paul Shanks Scottsdale Restaurant Recipe
This was a main stay in Scottsdale, Az restaurant scene in the 60's-70's.
They had a dressing that they would put on a jello fruit type desert.
I believe that it had ice cream in it, but do not know the rest of the
ingredients. It was really guarded. I know it sounds rather funky, but
this was the 60's. It would be very good on any type of fruit and would
dearly love to have it. My real name is Marilyn and thanks
PS The Hotel was called Paul Shanks Safari Hotel, has a little history,
the actor Bob Crane was killed there.
Hi Marilyn,

Grandpere dans le Sirop
Ingredients:
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 cups water
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
1/3 cup cold butter
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
In a large saucepan, mix together the brown sugar and water, and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, and stir in 1 tablespoon of butter and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla.
Cover while preparing the batter.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, white sugar, baking powder and salt.
Cut in 1/3 cup of butter by pinching between your fingers, or using a fork until
the mixture has lumps no larger than crumbs. Make a well in the center, and pour
in the milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla all at once. Stir just until all of the dry
mixture is absorbed.
Return the sugar mixture to a full boil, and drop large spoonfuls of the batter
into the syrup. Cover and simmer over medium heat, without removing the lid, for
15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the largest dumpling comes out clean.

Phaedrus - could you please tell me what the Nicoise means??
Thanks.
Cindy
Hi Cindy,
"Nicoise" refers to the city of Nice in the Cote D'Azur region of France,
which is where this type of salad originated.
The salad, and other dishes called "Nicoise", such as "Tuna Nicoise", is preferably
made with Nicoise olives, which are grown in the region.
