Funny Name: Sacred Bovines Edition

One other thing I don't understand about the Ohio cooks who submitted recipes to Favorite Recipes of Ohio: Meats Edition Including Poultry and Seafood (1965) is how they can get so worked-up over a fairly run-of-the-mill meat sauce.


Is it the full half-teaspoon of chili powder in the mixture of ground beef, onion, green pepper, tomato sauce, and canned mushrooms that makes it so exciting? Holy Cow, indeed!

  1. I was a bit perplexed by making pasta nests on a platter and ladling the sauce over them. Are people supposed to eat these off of the platter? Otherwise, how are you going to get this neat nest of pasta and sauce onto your plate? Get out the oversized grilling spatula, and try to transplant them without totally mishaping them in the process of trying to scoop them up?

    1. Maybe Mrs. Didrick forgot the step of cooking them on the serving platter until they're so dried out that you can peel them right off the platter without incident.
