6. Placerville, California- Hangtown Fry

Placerville was known as "Hangtown" in its’ early days. ...

In 1849, just a short time after Old Dry Diggins had been renamed Hangtown in honor of the recent hanging of three desperadoes from the large oak tree on Main Street, a prospector rushed into the saloon of the El Dorado Hotel announcing that right there in town, along the banks of Hangtown Creek, he had struck it rich and had every reason to celebrate. Untying his leather poke from his belt, he tossed it on the bar where it landed heavily, spilling its shining contents of gold dust and nuggets. Turning to the bartender he loudly demanded, “1 want you to cook me up the finest and most expensive meal in the house. I’m a rich man and I’m going to celebrate my good luck.”

The Bartender called to the cook and relayed the prospector’s order. The cook stopped what he was doing and came out of the kitchen. Looking the prospector in the eye he said, “The most expensive things on the menu are eggs, bacon and oysters. The eggs have to be carefully packed to travel the rough road from over the coast; the bacon comes by ship round the horn from back east; and the fresh oysters we have to bring up each day on ice from the cold waters of San Francisco Bay. Take your choice. I can cook you anything you want, but it will cost you more than just a pinch of that gold dust you have there."

The prospector said, "Scramble me up a whole mess of eggs and oysters, throw in some bacon, and serve 'em up. I'm starving. I've been living on nothing much more than canned beans since I got to California, and at last I can afford a real meal." The cook did just that, cooking up a full plate of the mixture. Thus the Hangtown Fry was invented.

Ingredients
8 large oysters
6 eggs
6 cream crackers
4 tbsp sunflower oil
4 tbsp clarified butter
3 tbsp plain flour
15g/½oz chilled butter
3 tbsp double cream
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
15g/½oz fresh parmesan, grated finely
a little lemon juice
8 thin rashers rindless streaky bacon
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method
1. Remove the oysters from their shells. Beat the eggs and pour them into a shallow dish. Put the cream crackers in a plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs with a rolling pin. Tip into a dish. Dip the oysters in the egg and then the crumbs.
2. Heat the oil and the clarified butter in a 20cm/8in non-stick frying pan, fry the oyster for 1-2 minutes, season with a little salt and keep warm.
3. Drain away the cooking fat from the pan and wipe it out with some kitchen paper. Rub the base well with the chilled butter.
4. Add the cream, parsley, parmesan and some seasoning to the remaining beaten eggs.
5. Preheat the grill to high.
6. Return the oysters to the pan and squeeze over a little lemon juice. Pour the egg mixture around the oysters and cook over a low heat until just set - about 10-12 minutes.
7. Meanwhile, grill the bacon until it is crisp and golden.
8. As soon as the fry is set, put the pan under the grill until it is browned and puffed up. Lay the bacon rashers on top, take the pan to the table and serve.

I never heard of it before moving here. Basically, it's a greasy kind of chicken & vegetable soup. It's good, if it's made right.

Oh, and we don't have cuisine in Wisconsin. We just got brats.
