SolarGarlic Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 YES! So we had a good sized raclette party tonight and it was AWESOME. In terms of food items the textures and flavours were wonderful. Simple but intoxicating. I can still see and taste everything we had. Icing on the cake was marinated strips of fresh moose meat. We used a variety of cheeses for melting that, in the end, were like adding adding salt and pepper to the dish; simply adding to the flavour but also adding a binding element of Texture that was over-the-top.Of course the classic pickled onion, gherkin, potato and cheese was present but we had a variety of other ingredients such as: salmon, mushroom, prosciutto, peppers, caramelised onion/garlic/shallot, breads, swiss farmers sausage, garlic sausage, green onion and a bunch of other stuff. What a way to spend a New Years Day afternoon and evening.Anyone else Raclette?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Sounds awesome!I've racletted before. I have Swiss friends, they invited people over for raclette a few months ago. The did not have moose meat though. Lots of fun and very tasty, but on the way home I had to stop at burger king for a meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blane Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 had a nice raclette a couple of weeks back, and have a stack of it in the fridge. YUM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_rawk Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 much like d_rawkWhile I most certainly am amazing, rustic, delicious and lovable (I have to step aside from the 'simple' though .. I'm annoyingly complex), I think your ear might want to be an inch or two closer to the grapevine.On Raclette -- I feel inspired. Seems like a fun project.

Blane Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 as an aside, if you ever go to a Swiss league hockey game, they have raclette and wine vendors outside of the rink for pre-game snacks (cheese, potato, pickle and optional dried meat). Makes for a killer snack on a cold day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
