Subject: Roasted corn
Hi Phaedrus,
I have visited your site often and enjoy it very much. Can you help me find the
recipe for pan roasted corn that I recently had at Joe's Stone Crab Restaurant in
Las Vegas? It is whole kernal yellow corn roasted with cilantro and lime.
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Suzette
Hello Suzette,
I cannot find any recipes at all from Joe's Stone Crab Restaurant. However, there
is a recipe for pan roasted corn with cilantro and lime here:

Hi,
red Relish At Marshall Field's - - 1970's - 1980'S
Hi,
My name is Marge and I am from the Chicago area.
In the 1970's/1980's Marshall Fields (Downtown - - State Street Store) had several
restaurants on the 7th floor. They had a hot dog wagon and one of the condiments
was a "Red Relish" that was outstanding. It was in a jar - - not made by MF's - -
but I do remember I purchased a jar and to my recollection it said the name of a
company which if my mind serves me right was made in the St. Louis area. It was
scrumptious - - the best I have ever had on a hot dog. If you could locate that or
if anyone would have a recipe that would be similar I would be a very happy camper.
Thank You,
Marge
Hello Marge,
Sorry, I could not find a clue as to the brand of red relish used by Marshall Fields
or anything else about it.
Phaed
If memory serves me correctly, the red relish served at Marshall Fields was
braswells. The reason I know this is that I always loved it and asked for
the brand name on one particular visit. The lady showed me the jar and I
have been buying it (at Publix) ever since.

Subject: ginger chews inquiry
Hi Phaedrus,
It sure didn't take long for my entire family to develop an addiction to Tin Tin Jahe
Ginger Chews Candy, from Indonesia! I've looked all over the internet, as well as in
my modest collection of cookbooks, and I cannot find a recipie for a chewy (ginger)
candy using tapioca starch. The package lists the ingredients as sugar, ginger, and
tapioca. I've used many permutations of the following search terms: recipie, tapioca,
tapioca association, ginger, candy, chew, chewy, and Tin Tin Jahe. You're my last hope!
Many thanks,
Rachael
The following came from https://www.roxytrading.com/pages/health_ginger.asp :
Tin Tin Jahe Ginger Chew/Candy
"Sin-A Ginger Chew/Candy has been produced in Indonesia for the past sixty years and
is renowned for its uniqueness and superb quality. The Chew is made of exclusively
natural ingredients, no artificial flavoring or preservative is added to the Chew.
In order for the product to maintain its optimal level of ginger flavor without being
too pungent for the average consumer, the manufacturer uses only the choicest mature
ginger from a specific area in Indonesia, stone-grinds the ginger into fine pulp and
then processes it with maltose, cane sugar, tapioca starch. The manufacturer is so keen
to maintain its most traditional method of production that even to date, the Chews are
still individually wrapped by hand. Due to the high level of ginger juice in the Chew -
8.14%, the product can withstand a shelf-life of 18 months without any preservative.
However, the product is susceptible to heat, and therefore is best stored or shelved
below 80°F."
Hello Rachael.
I cannot find any copycat recipes for sin-a ginger chews. There may be home recipes
for them in Asia, but I could not find any on the Internet or elsewhere. The ones you
specifically mention - Tin Tin Jahe" - are a commercial product. Below is the only
"ginger chews" recipe that I can find at all. It does not have tapioca starch.
I think you are placing too much emphasis on the tapioca starch. Tapioca starch, or
tapioca flour, as it is also called, is merely a thickener. It does not add to the
product in the way of taste, and could be substituted for by corn starch or arrowroot,
which it is in turn used as a substitute for.

Phaed,
I came upon your site looking for a ginger chews candy recipe.
I saw the recipe you furbished to another searcher 3 years ago was a cookie recipe and I continued searching.
If your blog is active and you make addendums to past inquiries, consider posting this recipe I located:
Homemade Ginger Chews
Thanks!

Subject: Sweetened Coconut
Dear Uncle Phaed
How do I turn unsweetened coconut into sweetened?
Thank You
Heidi
Hello Heidi,
There's more difference between sweetened and unsweetened dried coconut than
just sugar. Most brands of sweetened coconut are soaked in corn syrup for
sweetness and in other additives to make it retain moistness. So, if your
coconut is going to be used on the OUTSIDE of something like a cake topping,
etc, there's not much way to acceptably make sweetened coconut from unsweetened.
Sugar won't stick to the coconut, and it will also be dry.
If the coconut is going to be INSIDE the dish, like in a batter or in a pie
filling, then try using your unsweetened coconut and increasing the sugar in the
recipe by 2 teaspoons per cup of coconut. Since sweetened coconut adds moisture,
too, you might have to add a bit of extra liquid as well. I have no idea how much.

Subject: beef try tip
Hi Uncle
I lived in Ca.for a lot of years and got used to BBQ beef try tip every week.
We could buy it in all the grocery stores for $4.00 to $5.00 a lb. Now I live
in ND. and have to have it specially cut for $12.00 to $13.00 A Lb.
I know stores can buy it by the box, is there any place I can buy it by the box?
Pat
Hello Pat,
It's not always easy to find tri-tip outside of California. In a lot of places tri-tip,
or "bottom sirloin", is cut up for stew meat or ground for hamburger. The best way to
buy it and be sure of the quality would be to find a local old-fashioned butcher shop
and see what the butcher will do for you. If you want to try to buy it online, there
are numerous beef suppliers. See the links below. You might also talk to the meat
departments at your local grocers and find out who their beef distributors are, then
talk to the distributors about buying it by the box.
