As I said in the chapter, mirepoix is 2:1:1 ratio of onion, celery, and carrot. Two parts onion, one part celery, one part carrot. It's pronounced mir-pwa.

It is the basic foundation flavoring for almost any dish. I use it for stocks, soups, sauces, roasts, braises, etc...

I'll try to rework that part for clarity.

The DAK ham should have a date on it.

If in doubt, throw it out.

Personally, I don't buy DAK hams. I'd rather have Spam, since it's close to the same thing, and Spam keeps forever.

Oh, mirepoix is the combination of those foods - I didn’t get that at all.

What is SOFRITO AND MILNOT?

You think Spam has a longer shelf life than Dak ham?
