Hi Dave,
RH> Your choice, I've always used gingersnaps. My mom told us that whenever
RH> he mom made sauerbraten, her husband was the one that had to hunt down
RH> the gingersnaps, usually on Sunday mornings in a time when very few
RH> stores were open on Sunday. I can recall my mom making it only once,
RH> with a venison roast that hadn't been brined to get rid of the gamey
RH> taste. It was very strong. (G)
DD> That "gamey" taste comes from the adrenaline pumped into the
DD> bloodstream because the animal is frightened.
And my mom, being city raised, had no idea how to pre prep game. Dad was
city raised also, so couldn't tell her, person that gave us the roast
didn't mention it.
DD> In this recipe I substituted Lemonades for the gingersnaps with
DD> notable success.
RH> I've tasted those cookies, less than impressed with them.
DD> My favourite G.S. cookie is Thin Mints. I mis-typed in my previous. I
Mine too, splurged on a box last year and put a sleeve in the freezer.
Pulled it out a couple of months ago, still have a couple left.
DD> used "Lemon-Ups" rather than the icing coated "Lemonades". My least
DD> liked G.S. variety is Do-Si-Dos (P-nut butter sandwich). If I'm gonna
DD> do a peanut butter sandwich I'll use Ritz crackers. Bv)=
Steve likes those too. Last year we bought a box of Thin Mints and a box
of the other baker's D0-Si-Dos. They were not up to the quality of the
Little Brownie Baker's Do-Si-Dos so we'll pass on any more cookie sales
as long as this council orders from this baker (forget who it is, just
remember LBB). The Thin Mints were ok but not quite as good as the ones
from LBB. BTW, I spent years in Girl Scouts growing up, as an adult
leader but would not reccommend them to any girl now.
