When our kids were young if you said "oyster stew" they would grimace and exclaim, "Yuk!" Other kids in the extended family had the same eaction. But eating oyster stew on Christmas Eve was a family tradition. How could I get our kids to keep it?
Family members came up with a plan. Kids would be required to taste one spoonful of stew and then they could eat something else. As the years passed, however, one spoonful of stew became two, then three, then trying an oyster, and finally, eating a whole bowl of soup. Now my adult kids love oyster stew.
The original Britsh recipe - oysters, butter, cream, salt and pepper - was based on staple foods of the time. Over time this recipe made its way to America. "The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book," orignally published in 1890 and edited by Fannie Farmer, contains four recipes for oyster stew. One is the British recipe, only milk is substituted for cream.
The second recipe, Cream of Oyster Soup, is thickened with flour and contains onion, celery, and mace. The third recipe, Oyster Soup, Amsterdam Style, is made with cream and calls for celery salt. And the fourth recipe, Bisque of Oysters, Capucine, contains cream, egg yolks, nutmeg, and peas, of all things.
"The Victory Cook Book, Wartime Edition," first published in 1943, has three recipes for oyster stew: Bisque of Oysters (thickened with flour and stale bread crumbs), Oyster Stew (the British recipe), and Thickened Oyster Stew based on a white sauce.
Today, oyster stew recipes are posted on the Internet and many are still loaded with butter, cream, and salt. I'm eating healthier these days. Could I come up with a slimmer version of oyster stew? The only way to find out was to make a test batch.
Instead of cream or whole milk I used skim milk. I eliminated the four teaspoons of salt most recipes call for and added flavor with red pepper, onion power, and a bay leaf. Better yet, I reduced the high fat content (as much as two cups of butter!) to two tablespoons of butter and a tablespoon of olive oil. My Updated Oyster Stew was rich-tasting, creamy, and packed with flavor. Here's the recipe - just in time for the holidays.
UPDATED OYSTER STEW
INGREDIENTS: 1 pound shucked oysters and their liquid; 2 tablespoons butter; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 1/2 tablespoons minced red pepper; 1/4 cup Wondra flour; 3 1/2 cups skim milk; 2 teaspoons onion powder; 2 teaspoons celery salt; 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce; freshly ground pepper to taste; 1 bay leaf; 2 teaspoons snipped fresh parsley
Put the oysters and their liquid in a small saucepan. Heat the oysters over low heat until the edges start to curl. Cover pan and set oysters aside.
Melt butter and olive oil in a large saucepan. Add minced red pepper and saute until tender. Stir in Wondra flour and cook for 30 seconds. Using a whisk, slowly add milk to the flour mixture. Cook soup base over medium heat, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened. Add seasonings, bay leaf and parsley. Gently stir oysters into soup base. Cover stew and keep warm over low heat for 15 minutes to blend flavors. (Don't ever let the stew boil.) Remove bay leaf. Serve stew in warm bowls with oyster crackers or saltines. Makes 5-6 servings.

North Borneo $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles North Borneo was a British protectorate under the sovereign North Borneo Chartered Company from 18821946. After the war it became a crown colony of the United Kingdom from 19461963, known in this time as British North Borneo. It is located on the northeastern end of the island of Borneo. It is now the state of Sabah, East Malaysia. The last Governor of North Borneo was William Allmond Codrington Goode who held office from 1959 to 1963. In 1865, the United States Consul to Brunei, Charles Lee Moses, obtained a 10year lease for the territory of North Borneo from the Sultan of Brunei. However, the postCivil War United States wanted nothing to do with Asian colonies, so Moses sold his rights to the Hong Kongbased American Trading Company of Borneo owned by Joseph William Torrey, Thomas Bradley Harris, Tat Cheong and possibly other Chinese merchants. Torrey began a settlement at the Kimanis River mouth, which he named Ellena. Attempts to find financial backing for the settlement were futile, and disease, death and desertion by the immigrant labourers led to the abandonment of the settlement towards the end of 1866.

The Japanese Occupation of Borneo, 1941-45 (Hardcover) $281.96 The Japanese occupation of both British Borneo - Brunei, Sarawak and North Borneo - and Dutch Borneo in 1941 to 1945 is a much understudied subject. Of particular interest is the occupation of Dutch Borneo, governed by the Imperial Japanese Navy, which had long-term plans for `permanent possession`. This book surveys Borneo under Western colonialism, examines pre-war Japanese interests in Borneo, and analyses the Japanese military invasion and occupation. It goes on to consider the nature of Japanese rule in Borneo, contrasting the different regimes of the Imperial Japanese Army, which ruled the north, and the Navy, which ruled in the south. A wide range of issues are discussed, including the incorporation of the economy in the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere and the effects of this on Borneo`s economy. The book also covers issues such as the relationship with the various indigenous inhabitants, with Islam and the Muslim community, and the Chinese, as well as topics of acculturation and propaganda, and major uprisings and mass executions. It examines the impact of the wartime conditions and policies on the local multiethnic peoples and their responses, providing an invaluable contribution to the greater understanding of the significance of the wartime Japanese occupation in the historical development of Borneo. |
