Hi Uncle Phaedrus:
Your doing a great job.
The recipe I'm looking for is:
Newfie Bangbelly
Soaked Bread
Molasses
Raisins
Spices(we're not sure what ones)
Maybe eggs
No flour or rice.
Bread soaked in water, put in an oblong pan and covered with rest of
ingredients.
Its an old Newfoundland recipe maybe over 70 yrs old at least. Anyone 70 or

Hope you have luck finding this recipe, I have a friend that is 70 and would
like to eat it again.

Terrence sent this recipe:
Mom's Newfoundland Bangbelly
Edith (Scott) Harvey
1 loaf bread (Home Made Bread is Best)
1/2 to 1 cup of Molasses
1/2 to 1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 to 1/4 tsp. All Spice
1/2 to 1/4 tsp. Mix Spice
1/2 to 1 lb. Salt Pork
1/2 to 1 cup Raisins
1/2 cup flour
Soak 1(one) loaf of bread in cold water, until saturated, the squeeze
out excess water and place bread in dry mixing bowl. Bread should be
saturated with water, do not squeeze it dry.
Cut Salt Pork into small cubes, then place all the ingredients in with
the bread. Add flour until you have a dough like consistency, not too
dry. Mix all the ingredients well, and place into a greased baking pan.
Bake at 350 to 375 for 1 hour. Cool and cut into squares. This is best
served hot or warm, keep leftovers refrigerated for great snacks.
Sorry that I could not be more persist with the ingredient amounts, but
mom all ways said to add ingredients to your taste. If you do not like
spicy foods go with 1/4 tsp of the spices, rather than 1/2 tsp. Do not
like Salt pork? Cut pork into smaller cubes and use less pork. Same goes
for the molasses and raisins.
It is best to keep track of what you use, and try different amounts
until you get the Bangbelly you like the best. Good Luck!

Hello Carol,
Sorry, the only thing I can find that's called a "chocolate marmalade cake"
is an Austrian sachertorte. If you can think of another name for your cake,
I'll look again. Meanwhile, see the sachertorte recipes below. Most recipes
use apricot jam, but you could use your orange marmalade if you wished.
Sachertorte was originally invented by Franz Sacher at the 1814-5 Congress
of Vienna.
See:
Vienna
and
Sachertorte
and
The recipes below.
Phaed
Sachertorte
Ingredients
225g/8oz good plain chocolate
150g/5oz softened butter
115g/4oz caster sugar
8 eggs, separated
115g/4oz plain flour, sifted
Glaze and Icing
225g/8oz apricot jam
1 tbsp lemon juice
225g/8oz good plain chocolate
200g/7oz caster sugar
1 tbsp golden syrup
250ml/8fl oz double cream
1 tsp vanilla essence
Method
1. Preheat oven to 180 deg C/350deg F/Gas mark 4.
2. Grease a 23cm/9in cake tin and line the base with greaseproof or other
non-stick paper.
3. Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt it either over simmering
water or in the microwave (see techniques).
4. Cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Add the egg
yolks, one by one, and beat well with each addition.
5. Beat in the melted chocolate.
6. Fold in the sifted flour.
7. Whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
8. Fold about a quarter of the egg whites into the cake mixture then fold in
the remainder.
9. Put the mixture in the cake tin and level off. Bake for about 50 to 55
minutes. When done, let them rest in their tins for 5 minutes before turning
onto wire racks to cool.
10. To make the glaze, heat the apricot jam and lemon juice until liquid,
then strain through a sieve.
11. When completely cold, slice the cake through the middle to make two
layers. Glaze the top and sides of each with the apricot and lemon mixture
then sandwich them together.
12.To make the icing, heat the chocolate, broken into small pieces, sugar,
golden syrup, cream and vanilla in a saucepan. Keep on a low heat and stir
continuously until the ingredients form a thick, smooth mixture. Simmer
gently without stirring until it reaches a temperature of 95 deg C or 200
deg F, using a sugar thermometer. Pour the mixture over the cake so that it
completely covers the sides and top. Leave it to set. You can decorate it
with chocolate curls or leaves if you want.
----------------------------
Sachertorte
Ingredients :
CAKE:
8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
1/2 lb. plus 2 tsp. butter
1 c. sugar
8 egg yolks
10 egg whites
Pinch of salt
1 c. plus 2 tsp. flour
1/4 c. apricot jam
GLAZE:
8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
4 tbsp. white corn syrup
4 tbsp. water
1/4 lb. butter
1 c. heavy cream, whipped
Preparation :
(This is the original from the Sacher Hotel in Vienna, Austria.)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 (9 inch) cake pans with wax
paper, then coat with butter and flour. Melt the chocolate in
microwave or double boiler over hot not boiling water. In a large
bowl beat the half pound butter with 3/4 cup of the sugar. Add the
egg yolks and beat until light and creamy. Mix in chocolate. In a
separate bowl beat egg whites with a pinch of salt until they form
soft peaks. Add remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, a tablespoon at a time,
beating until stiff. Alternately fold the egg whites and flour,
shaking it through a strainer, into the chocolate mixture, adding a
quart of each at a time. Mix well. Divide batter between cake
pans. Bake 25 minutes for a moist fudgy cake. About 35 minutes
firmer, drier cake. Let rest in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn
out onto a cake rack and let cool completely. When cool, trim
layers with serrated bread knife, evening sides and layers. Spread
top of one layer with apricot jam and place second layer on top.
Brush off any loose crumbs. Place cake with place or tray
underneath and pour glaze over top. Rotate cake as you do this. Do
not try to spread glaze. Let spread over top and down sides.
Refrigerate cake for at least 2 hours. Remove from refrigerator 1/2
hour before serving. GLAZE: Chop chocolate coarsely in food
processor. Bring rest of ingredients to a boil in a heavy saucepan.
Remove from heat and add chopped chocolate, mix well and cool 5
minutes. Place pan in a bowl of ice water and whisk mixture until
it reaches consistency of heavy cream. Pour over cake. Serve with
unsweetened whipped cream.
----------------------------------
Sachertorte
Ingredients :
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
6 oz. butter, unsalted
1/3 c. granulated sugar
5 lg. eggs, separated, plus 1 extra
egg white
3/4 c. sifted all-purpose flour
3 tbsp. apricot preserves
Chocolate Glaze:
8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate
1/4 c. light corn syrup
3 tbsp. water
2 tbsp. unsalted butter
Preparation :
Adjust rack 1/3 up from bottom of the oven and preheat oven to
350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch spring-form pan, or an 8 x 1 3/4 or
2-inch layer-cake pan; line the bottom with wax paper cut to fit,
butter the paper, dust with flour, invert over a piece of paper, and
tap lightly to shake out excess. Set aside. Place the chocolate in
the top of a small double boiler over hot water on moderate heat.
Cover until partially melted, then uncover and stir until completely
melted and smooth. Set aside uncovered to cool slightly. In the
large bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter. Beat in the
sugar. Add the egg yolks and beat well, scraping the bowl with a
rubber spatula. On low speed beat in the melted chocolate. Then
add the flour and beat only until mixed. Remove from the mixer. In
the small bowl of an electric mixer, beat the 6 egg whites until the
whites hold a definite shape but not until they are stiff or dry.
Stir 2 large spoonfuls of the whites into the chocolate to lighten
it a bit. Then fold in the remaining whites in four or five
additions; the first three or four additions should be small and not
too thorough. Incorporate about half the whites in these small
additions. The last large addition should be folded until no whites
show, but no more. Turn the mixture into the prepared pan and
rotate the pan briskly first in one directions, then the other, to
level the top. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. The top will feel rather
firm and will spring back when lightly pressed with the fingertip; a
toothpick gently inserted in the middle will come out clean and dry.
Let the cake stand in the pan for 10 minutes. Then cover it with a
rack, invert, remove the pan and the paper lining, cover with
another rack and invert again, leaving the cake right side up. Let
stand for several hours or preferably overnight or freeze it. When
you are ready to glaze the cake, prepare a flat cake plate by
placing 4 strips of wax paper around the outer edges. Place the
cake upside down on the plate, checking to be sure that the papers
touch it all around. Strain the apricot preserves - they should be
very smooth. Place them in a small pan over moderate heat and bring
them to a boil. Pour the boiling preserves over the cake and, with
a long, narrow metal spatula, spread evenly over the top. Place the
syrup and water in a medium-size heavy saucepan. Cut the butter
into small pieces and add them to the pan. Place over moderate heat
and stir occasionally until the mixture comes to a full boil. Remove
from the heat, immediately add the chocolate and stir until it has
melted. With a small wire whisk, beat briskly until completely
smooth. Set aside, stirring occasionally, until the glaze reaches
room temperature and begins to thicken slightly. Pour the glaze
carefully onto the very middle of the cake. It will spread out and
run to the edges. You do not want too much of it to run down the
sides. With a long, narrow metal spatula spread the top to make a
smooth layer, being careful that you do not force too much of it
down the sides. The sides should be covered with a thin coating.

Hello Carol,
I dunno about the bread bowl, but the lobster bisque recipe is below.
Phaed
Red Lobster Lobster Bisque
Serves 8
2 live Maine lobsters, 1 1/4 pounds each
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh chopped garlic
1 tablespoon fresh chopped shallots
5 large celery stalks, rough chopped
4 carrots, peeled and rough chopped
1 large onion, rough chopped
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, stem removed
8 ounces tomato puree
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup salted butter
1 quart heavy whipping cream
1 quart water
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup cream sherry
1/2 cup fresh chopped parsley
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
Prepare lobster by cutting in half lengthwise through the head and body
first. Remove tail halves, and claw and knuckle sections. These are the
sections with the meat for the bisque. Cut the body into 2-inch pieces.
Heat oil over medium high heat in a 4-quart stock pot and add the chopped
onions, garlic, shallots, carrots, celery and all of the lobster. Cook on
medium to medium high heat, stirring continually for 10 to 12 minutes or
until the lobster shells start to turn red.
Remove just the lobster pieces which contain meat and let cool for 10
minutes. Deglaze the pan with the sherry.
Add the peppercorns, cayenne, parsley, bay leaves, thyme and tomato puree.
Cook stirring for another 5 minutes.
Place the water and heavy cream into pot and bring to a boil. Remove lobster
meat from cooled lobster and reserve for the final presentation. Add the
remaining shells to the creamy stock. Let simmer and reduce by 25%.
In a separate 3- to 4-quart pot, melt butter on medium heat. Stir in flour
with a wire whisk to make a roux. Lower heat and slowly cook the flour and
butter for about 5 minutes. The roux should be blond in color and have a
buttery aroma.
When the creamy stock is reduced, strain into the pot with the roux, and
whip with a wire whisk. Discard the shell and vegetable mixture.
Chop the lobster meat into 1/2-inch pieces and stir into bisque. Salt and
pepper to taste.
Portion bisque into your favorite cup or bowl and garnish with chopped
chives.
