Ultimate comfort food in these trying times

[Milliepede]

Thank you had never heard of those before.  This topic is a culinary education.

bobby bean (plural bobby beans)

A French bean that is larger than 8mm in diameter, typically from a species such as Nerina, Bronco, or Paulista.

Not sure what they look like, maybe similar to broad beans?

Similar to French Beans or Green Beans.

My ultimate comfort food is one to buy from any good Kosher cafe (and a few good goyisch ones too) in London. Large chunks of hand cut salt beef on thick slices of rye bread with plenty of gherkins and mustard. Sadly not available at the moment.

At home Chiltern Brewery barley wine fruit cake. I always order a couple along with my beer delivery.

Now dinner is finished & the washing up done.

I did a Saturday job at a fruit and veg stall in the Huddersfield market for a couple of years when I was 14 and I have always had to explain what bobby beans are. Even now when I mention them at work I am always asked what they are. I was beginning to think it was only me that called them bobby beans.

The one thing I always wanted to know is what cut is salt beef made from, is it from the brisket ?

I believe so. All the recipes I find online use it.

It needs a wide, deep pan to do the brining in, as the meat is not rolled up as is typical UK practise.

I have always herd of salt beef on the tv but never knew what it was, it looks like another way of utilising a cheap cut of beef.

Curiosity will mean I will have to try and do it, might have to give it a few weeks until all this  is over so I can get the ingredients.

Brisket indeed, it is. Just I prefer it cut finer. Agree about the rye bread and gherkins.

[Erato]

Hold the gherkins but be liberal with the horseradish.

[ThrelfallYorky]

Both great!
