Hello Sheila,

There are several recipes for Rudy's creamed corn on the web. None has parmesan cheese - all have creamed cheese. See below.

To me, the creamed corn at Rudy's tasted like the old, time-honored concoction 
of 1/4 cup (or more) of corn starch mixed with an equal amount of water then added 
to 1 can of whole kernel corn and heated until thickened.

Googling creamed corn recipe yielded this recipe with cheese and cream:

Dear Uncle Phaedrus:

I'm  looking for an apple pie recipe that calls  for "grating" the apples.  Would you have such?

Thanks,
Suzan 

Hello Suzan,

See below for several.

Phaed

Grated  Apple  Pie

1 (10 inch) pastry crust
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. flour
Pinch of salt
4 tbsp. cold butter
6 large apples - Rome Beauty or Granny Smith (2 1/2 lbs.)
1/4 c. granulated sugar or more to taste
1/4 c. brown sugar, packed
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Pinch each of nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and salt
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1 tsp. vanilla
Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon

Prepare the pastry and chill for 30 minutes.  Make the topping by combining 
1/4 cup brown sugar, flour and salt in a processor bowl.  Cut in butter until 
thoroughly combined and crumbly; set aside.  To make filling, core the apples 
and grate them, using a coarse grater (with skins on).  Remove any large pieces 
of skin.  Stir in granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, 
allspice, salt, cornstarch, vanilla, zest and juice of lemon.  Spoon the filling 
into the crust.  Sprinkle the topping over the filling.  Bake in a 375 degree oven 
for 40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the topping is dappled with 
brown. Let cool to room temperature before serving, or serve warm with ice cream. 
--------------
Apple  Pie  (Fresh)

3 c. unsweetened pineapple juice
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1/8 tsp. salt
1/4 c. walnuts, chopped
1/4 c. chopped dates
1 baked pie shell

Grate apples on a medium shredder into pineapple juice.  Keep apples covered 
with juice.  Refrigerate until ready to fill shell, then drain the apples and 
heat 2 cups of the juice.  Add salt to the cornstarch and mix with a small amount 
of cold juice.  Stir into the hot juice and cook until thickened.  Cool.  Fill 
the baked pie shell with the apples and top with the thickened juice.  Sprinkle 
with nuts and dates.

1 stick margarine
1 1/2 c. grated apples
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. Karo syrup
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tbsp. flour
2 eggs

Mix flour, sugar and cinnamon together.  Put with margarine and syrup in a pan. 
Heat until mixture dissolves.  Cool to lukewarm.  Grate apples.  Beat eggs and 
mix with apples.  Add to sugar mixture.  put in an unbaked pie shell.  Bake at 
350 degrees for 30 minutes.  Decrease oven to 325 degrees and bake for 30 more

I have had this Dressing at Millers smorgasbord in Lancaster, PA. It is a hot bacon 
dressing but it is not made with milk like some of the recipes I am finding are made.

Can you help? 

Michele 

Hello Michelle,

Well, I had no success locating a recipe or copycat for Miller's Smorgasbord's dressing. However, there are a lot of Pennsylvania Dutch hot bacon dressing recipes without milk. See below for three.

Miller's sells a cookbook in their gift shop that contains some of their recipes. You might find the dressing recipe in that.

Hot Bacon Salad Dressing
Makes About 1-1/2 Cups 

Ingredients 

1 egg, well beaten 
1/3 cup sugar 
1/4 cup cider vinegar 
3/4 cup water 
1/2 teaspoon salt 
4 strips bacon, cut into 1 to 2-inch pieces 
1 tablespoon flour 

Beat the sugar into the egg. Add the vinegar, water and salt; beat well. Meanwhile, 
brown the bacon in small saucepan. Stir in the flour and stir until smooth. Add the 
liquid to the bacon mixture and cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly. 
(Can be prepared ahead and reheated, stirring constantly to keep from sticking to saucepan. 
If it gets too thick, add a little water.) Pour hot dressing over coarsely chopped greens 
and mix thoroughly. Serve immediately

endive, dandelion, or spinach. Add a little onion, if desired.

Blackberry Gravy

Hello Phaed:

I would like to find a blackberry gravy,,,,Have you heard of this? Yes it is an old 
recipe,and was just wondering if you had heard of it or maybe could find it for me? 
Thanks Emma 

Hello Emma,

Well, there are several mentions of "blackberry gravy" on the web. There seem to be more than one type. One type is mentioned on Scottish and English sites. There are mentions on American sites of blackberry gravies as an accompaniment for biscuits or pancakes and also as an accompaniment for wild game such as quail. I'm speculating that these two might be somewhat different.

However, I only found one (semblance of a) recipe for any sort of blackberry gravy.
To wit:

"Grandad also made a blackberry gravy that we ate over pancakes. Same concept as his tomato gravy, start with a roux, cut with milk, add fresh blackberries, sugar, and cinnamon."

Uncle Phaedrus,
 
Emma asked for this recipe, but I don't know if this is close.  The date of her request is 6/08/09.
I hope you don't mind if I send these if I have them.
 
Michael
 
 Blackberry Gravy 
  
Splash Red Wine  
1 large can blackberries in water  
1 teaspoon Sugar  
Gravy powder or Cornflour, one or two teaspoons  
  
Tip Blackberries and water from tin into saucepan and add sugar, splash of red wine and simmer down 
for fifteen minutes. 
  
Push sauce through sieve, to remove pips and return to pan. 
  
Add a teaspoon of watered down gravy powder to thicken sauce and give it that savoury edge. 
  
Note:  If you can’t bear to use Gravy powder use cornflour or cornstarch to thicken and leave to 
simmer on very low heat.
