I'll be waiting for a few recipes that you have tried

Oh dear. If this shows up in a team cook, Benevolent Dictatrix may be replaced by Benevolentnot Despot.

I believe that my mother once tried to encase a catfish in clay, and then cook in the embers of a campfire. Epic failure.

Re salt, I am tempted to ship BD a 50 lb bag of cattle salt from the local co-op.

[Richard Chrz]

But she tried, so not a total failure.

[yakima]

I don't think she has tried.
Prolly time to bow out.

Frying in sand would also add some crunch to your fried chicken......

[yakima]

And we all need more fiber.

Ha! I am not going to try this. Nor am I going to make it a team cook. I just thought it was interesting. Especially the videos. Stand down, Pitmasters! 🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗

Oh good. I was concerned that our BD might be turned into a pillar of salt, ala Sodom & Gomorrah.
