Culinarily Challenged here... What on earth IS liquid smoke anyway?? I see it and I just don't know what it is or does - can you help me?
"A concentrated seasoning known as liquid smoke is often used to duplicate the appealing flavor and aroma of real smokehouse wood without the need for a real smokehouse. Liquid smoke is derived from actual smoke generated under controlled conditions from popular woods used for outdoor barbecuing and smoking."
Long story short, it gives the flavor of a smokehouse with out YOU having to smoke stuff yourself. :)
So - if one is not a huge fan of smoked flavor one could just skip it - no? My MIL hates smoked food - she lives with us - I have to try to cook around everyone's weirdness in this house, LOL! (Thanks for the answer BTW!)
Oh yeah, you can skip it. Although, the smokey flavor is a key component to the dish (and one reason I love it so much) so I can't guarantee that omitting it will still make quite as good of a dish -- but I'm sure it will still be good eats. ;)
