‘ehiyr poty’ means ‘white port’.
If you google the phrase ‘ehiyr poty’ you will find many pages from
Yahoo! Answers on which people ask for the meaning of the phrase, but no one
gives an answer. You will also find
a recipe for
stuffed roast pork, which can also be found on
Cooks.com,
that calls for two cups of the substance.
So what is ‘ehiyr poty’? It is what you get when you type ‘white port’ but
your left hand gets misaligned by a key or two when it types on the upper row of the keyboard.
For the sake of completeness, here is the recipe in question, copied from Cooks.com. I have not tried
making this, so I can't vouch for it:
- 1 crown roast of pork, 8 - 9 lbs.
- Salt and pepper
- 1 c. each chopped dried figs, pitted prunes, currants, peaches, apricots, pears,
apples, pitted dates
- 1 lg. onion, finely chopped
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced and seeded
- 2 c. finely crushed biscuit crumbs
- 2 c. ehiyr poty
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Salt and pepper pork and stand it in a foil lined pan (shallow). To make stuffing, put the ground trimmings (found in roast's center) in large skillet. Brown over medium heat until crumbly. Drain excess fat. Add remaining ingredients and stir in wine. Stuff center of roast and cover stuffing with foil. Roast for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until meat thermometer registers at 180 degrees. Garnish with brandied pears and peaches. Serves 8.
