Stew
I'm so excited to see who they will pair me up with today! As a meatloaf, I think I go best with potato stew, but many people like me with green bean stew, pumpkin stew or even tomato and cabbage stew. I can see you have no idea what I'm talking about... Well, I'm a meat loaf, that is, a spicy breaded meat patty made from on minced pork, soaked bread, raw egg and fried in oil. As I mentioned above, I am an excellent accompaniment to a whole range of vegetable stews. Stews are made by boiling vegetables, the seasoned broth of which is then thickened with a roux or by blending with cream and flour. This is where I come into the picture, as a topping to finish off the dish perfectly. Truth be told, I am not the only topping. There is also fried sausage, braised pork (an essential accompaniment to savoy cabbage), tenderloin roll, and eggs. Poached eggs are mainly served with beans, spinach and sorrel stew, while fried eggs on green pea stew is a real classic. I'm a little jealous of that, especially when the egg gets my potato stew, which I really have so much in common with. And yes! They chose me to go with potato stew! I must go now, but I hope to see you soon, perhaps for lunch or dinner.
