Ugh, you're probably right....while tasty, not long after, my body felt like a train wreck.

Though I may try one more time, frying in unrefined coconut oil...I've read that is supposed to be the least destructive.

From reading the wiki, consuming large amounts can cause massive diarrhea.  It gives an anecdote of woman losing 24lbs through such a discharge.

I could stand to lose some weight....

Welp, there are four of us, 3 of us expecting there to be a week's worth of leftovers.  The fourth said that he could he half of it by himself.  I therefore challenged him to drink 2 pints of heavy cream along with the Omelet, he accepted and living wills have been formalized. 

I'll have my usual breakfast of gruel (skim milk with part oatmeal, wheatgerm, and flaxseed).  Probably spinach salad for lunch.

He claims to have successfully done the gallon challenge.  As it is at someone else' home and I won't be liable I thought I'd see just how true that was.  If he can do a few big glasses of heavy cream I could almost believe it.

It was actually 4 pounds of cheese, the green peppers were forgotten, so we substituted with a dollop of sour cream on each portion.  The calorie count came back as follows, and this doesn't take into account the meat and everything was well drained:

Serving (without sour cream): Probably around 1500-2000 calories

Just ate a South Jersey delicacy, the original Tarantini panzarotti:

Deep-fried egg dough filled with cheese and tomato sauce, similar to but distinct from other "pizza pocket" variations.

Between this, the stromboli, and the ISOP, the Phila metro area really has more than its fair share of inverted pizza-related specialty foods, not to mention indulgences like the cheesesteak egg roll, available at any Plexiglass-screened Chinese food restaurant:

And if you're ever stuck at the Philadelphia Airport, try to get to Romano's in Essington (a tiny industrial town on the city limits near the airport) to try to original stromboli, invented there in 1950.

I had breakfast at Elmar's BP yesterday.  Their biscuits and gravy were as good as ever but the broad dropped an egg on the floor and refused to just put it back in the styrofoam container... she had to go "make more" while my fucking stomach was digesting itself.  Elmar's BP is now ON MY SHIT LIST. :mad:

Probably grill a steak for dinner.  This is one of the rare weeks I don't have people over for dinner once or twice.  Its almost lonely.  But at least I don't have to share the cheap meat.

Speaking of white, gelatinous, meat-based sauces, when I was down in Ocean City, MD, I figured it was a good opportunity to try some real cream chipped beef on toast at a local coffee shop.

The first half of a slice was "good," the second half was edible, and by the second and third slices I had to resort to spreading the remainder around my plate so the waitress wouldn't think I was a pussy.   :Embarrass:

IIRC, it always got nasty when it cools off. But then again, I haven't had chipped beef in decades.

Title: Re: What are you eating?
Post by: Caliga on September 07, 2009, 09:47:53 PM
Not at all. First, I take four frozen biscuits (brand doesn't matter so long as they are either buttermilk or 'southern-style') outta the freezer, preheat the oven to 350 (I think... whatever the biscuit package says), and throw the biscuits in there.

Next, I take half a tube of Purnell's Medium Whole Hog Sausage and bust it up with a wooden spoon in a skillet over high heat.

Once it's all brown and in smallish pieces, I add one cup of hot water and one cup of milk.  Then, I turn the heat up to high and, when the liquid starts to boil, I stir in half a packet of Southeastern Mills Pepper Gravy mix.  Once I've got the mix powder thoroughly stirred in, I turn the heat down to low and simmer the sausage gravy till the biscuits are done.

Once everything is done cooking, I split the biscuits, putting four halves on a plate, cover the biscuits with the gravy, and then liberally sprinkle the gravy with ground black pepper.

I had some shit called "Bun Thap Cam".  Basically it was a bowl of ramen with lettuce, carrots, some other vegetable (daikon?).  It was topped with char-grilled marinated pork, chicken, and shrimp, sliced-up egg rolls, cilantro, and ground peanuts, and came with a little bowl of some kind of sauce to pour on top of it.  The sauce was clearly a rice vinegar base and tasted sweet and garlicky.

I find bison is so lean it doesn't make for a very good steak.

However I have fully switched to ground bison instead of ground beef - leaner and more flavourful.

To be fair, I am not a big fan of the steak either...but I rarely eat a straight up steak, or better to say, rarely cook my own at home (and note, my caveat was food that I prepare...I'll eat a beef steak if eating out).

I mostly use ground meat, or steak tips in a homemade stir-fry(my current culinary experiments).

Now I'm making some pizza dough for tomorrow (mostly whole wheat) and some bread for the week.

It will be a beer based bread.  I have about fifty fucking bottles of beer through a variety of reasons.  Baking with it is as good a means of getting rid of it as any.  I used some left over wine in the pizza dough.

The beer bread will be a mixture of whole wheat flour, vital wheat gluten to try to make it less brick like, with wheat germ, wheat bran, and oat meal mixed in for extra fiber.

It's been a recent trend for foreign fast food joints to try to establish a foothold in the US.  For example I remember seeing someplace that there are now Nando and Jollibee outlets in the states.

Even now, its a once a year thing with friends when we are nostalgic for the era when we'd order a triple decker stuffed crust pizza with extra cheese.  Fuck.  So sick every time.

I guess it's a bit patchy, syk. I live in a place that is popular with tourists, so most restaurants and bars have an English language version of the menu available. Sometimes the quality of the translation is a little better than the Chinese ones on the failblog though (BB and others can attest to the menus they've seen in Krakow). :P

Diabeetus is weird in how unpredictable it is.

A buddy of mine at work used to work with a guy who was like 600 lbs. and who claimed he didn't have the diabeetus.  Anyway, one time he went to the mall with this guy for lunch.

He started his lunch at Jersey Mike's, where he got a large steak and a GALLON of *sweet tea*.  He also bought a full size (i.e. not a little lunch bag) bag of Doritos to go with it.

He ended his lunch at Cinnabon with a box of 6 Cinnabons.

Seriously, he must have consumed at least three pounds of sucrose in that one meal.  Yet... no diabeetus. :blink:

Now, hold on: 86 the sauce and fake meat crap, and instead melt Reese's over the pasta?

That's actually quite revolutionary. :hmm:

Morrocan inspired chicken stew.

I threw everything I had at it. Trying to use up the stuff from the garden before it goes bad (don't know how or interested in canning  :blush: ). Bell, anaheim and jalapeno peppers, red onion, carrots, can of stewed tomatoes, yellow squash, raisins, dried apricots, chicken broth and chicken thigh meat that I browned.

Spices:

salt
pepper
cayenne pepper
cardamom
tumeric
paprika
garlic powder
cinnamon


Served over barley
with tomato, cucumber, and feta cheese salad

I got into making bread, got myself a bread machine. So far the bread has been great; been using it instead of store bought.  I have two recipes for white bread that I really like. Still learning, trying new recipes. Finding which I like, and trying breads like corn bread and others.

Over the summer I got a ton of veggies from my garden. Corn, tomatoes, beans. Lots of beans, the pole beans, which keep producing more than bush beans. I planted a lot of those three veggies. Corn was delicious, tasty, sweet and meaty in texture. So many tomatoes; gave a lot away but I've been eating a lot of them too. I had one cherry tomato plant - darn thing spreads out, needs its own zip code! Got tons of tomatoes from it. Planted lots of beans, too many, lol. I have about twenty packages frozen in the freezer, and those will last me a good while.

Took a lot of work though, for the garden. Between bugs and critters eating the young leaves, killing plants. I had to replant at times, and put down some critter repellent. Also sprayed a lot of hot pepper spray, which kept critters and probably bugs from eating the leaves. I also used some spray pesticide early on, not a lot though.

I use olive oil on all my steaks and roasts now as a first step.  That way it never sticks to the grill. And grilling - as we all know - is essential to the proper cooking of meat.

I'll grow them back, like a shark.

In any event I can't eat those Dum-Dums.  I'm pretty certain the brown spots are just caramelized sugar (it could get really hot in here over the summer, up to 90F), but don't wish to chance it.  I already owe the hospital enough money.

I gorged myself on Krystal when I was in Knoxville.   :Embarrass:  I never intended to do it, but every time I left my apartment to do any errand, I ended up getting a four-pack of Krystals, bringing them to the beer bar across the street to enjoy, getting drunk, and then going back for some Spicy Chiks to liven up the 3 block walk back home.

Migas, a couple of tortillas, Cholula, beans, coffee.  Glorious.  I think my coffee maker might be fucked up somehow though.  It's taking a REALLY long time to brew.

Edit: Goddammit.  And now I just completely brainfarted and only heated up...well exactly half the amount of water that goes in the press.  Naturally I only noticed after dumping it in there.

We actually have a number of Chik-Fil-A locations around here, and we now have Zaxby's as well... and of course there's the Popeye's that I mentioned.  There actually aren't as many KFCs as you might expect...  there are only about 25 in Louisville.  I actually think we have more Taco Bell locations (both being Yum! businesses) than KFC locations.

I'm a fan too.  They have good fried mushrooms, and their boneless buffalo wings are about the same as Bdubs (though you can get them much hotter at Bdubs, of course).
Title: Re: What are you eating?
Post by: Ideologue on December 27, 2011, 09:57:03 PM
The local Zaxby's is kind of shitty.  I love buffalo wings and I used to eat them all the time, but Zaxby's were often not very spicy--their definition of "insane" and mine are clearly not the same*--and/or undersauced, along with long wait times at the drive thru.

*Now Wild Wings?  They merit the name "insane," although their hottest sauce is called "braveheart."  That shit is good, but capable of causing chemical burns to skin that doesn't have access to a salivary flush system.

Like one's dick. <_<

Edit: oh, "Bdubs" is BWW.  Gotcha.
Title: Re: What are you eating?
Post by: MadBurgerMaker on December 28, 2011, 05:48:59 AM
My wife still calls it BW3.  I dunno.  The wings are okay and all that, but goddammit even in the "family" area (they don't have a fucking smoking section anymore, so that just means the part where the taps aren't instantly visible, I guess), they have the music/TVs up so loud you have trouble hearing the person across from you.  Sure, I'm down for that sometimes, which is when I'll head into the bar area, but turn it down a little out front, mooks.  The Cowboys game doesn't need to be on 12.  Aikman and Buck will be just as boring on 8.  I promise.

Took Princesca to Limestone for her dinner, which is a local place that does fine dining with a Southern flair.  For an appetizer, we had macaroni and cheese with crabmeat, which probably sounds like shit to most of you but tasted really good.  For my main course, I had sole stuffed with crab on a bed of creamed spinach with fire-roasted Brussels sprouts, and she had a pork chop with a cranberry garnish over grits with mixed vegetables.  She had creme brulee for dessert and I had a peach and almond tart with pistachio ice cream.  Drinks were the house chardonnay (which was actually kind of flat) and cappuccino for me and regular coffee for her for dessert.

This restaurant has kind of a mixed reputation around here... it's right by my office and someone commented that it was "horrible" there.  While I don't agree with that, it's definitely not my favorite fine dining establishment in town; we have a place called Z's Oyster Bar and Steakhouse which I like better, as well as the famous Vincenzo's downtown.

You go to Grandma's Kountry Kitchen and you get pork chops with smashed taters for 9 bucks.  You go to Chez Hipster and they put the pork chop ON TOP of the smashed taters, drizzle some colored goo on the side of the plate and charge you 19.  If I really want the pork chops on top of the potatoes I can do that myself at Grandma's.

My "signature dish" is Alaskan King Crab Macaroni and Cheese.

Seriously - I made it once, made it a second time when my mother in law was here, and she absolutely loves the stuff.  And she is a professional short order cook who owns her own restaurant.

I keep trying to tell her that it is easy to make a dish that tastes delicious when you take ~$50-$80 worth of ingredients into a mac and cheese, but she doesn't believe me.

Of course, Alaskan King Crab is a hell of a lot more expensive when you live in Alberta, not Yukon. :(

Anyways, I bring this up to say I can believe that mac and cheese with crab is pretty damn good stuff.

Heh, I can imagine myself at age 70--let's assume I've made money in the meantime--still drinking store-brand soda and snacking on microwave pizzas while my grown children wonder how I became such a skinflint.  Then I'll use the compliance chip I put in their spines to shock them for their insolence.  The future: pretty great.

There's a family tradition of cooking people a special dinner for their birthday in her family consisting of whatever you want.  Princesca and I decided that it would be fun to start requesting that she make us ethnic stuff.  So for my birthday, I had her make me sauerbraten and German tater salad, and Princesca decided to have her make Cuban food.  She did a good job both times and some of these dishes have started to appear at family potlucks, thereby breaking up the endless monotony of various casseroles and the like.  The German tater salad made a reappearance at Christmas (my sister in law made it that time, though). :cool:

Anyway, tonight The Pitmaster was at the gas station, so I had me a rack of baby backs, some smoke dogs, and a side of jalapenos for dinner.  AWWWW YEAH.  First meat I've eaten in like 3 days, too.  Sorry Ide. :(

It's cool.  You know, one of the things I don't like about my current job is dealing in meat products.

Well, a transliteration that would capture the pronunciation better would be "Syemyenovich".  But we usually dispense with the y's.  Much like we use "Gorbachev" instead of "Gorbachyev".

Actually, they're pretty much the same letter, with Ё (pronounced "yo" vs. "ye") often just indicating where the stress is.  They're similar enough that in typed Russian, you'll almost never see the umlaut, even if the pronunciation is "yo".  Often makes it a pain for schmucks like me to figure out where the stress is.  :P

I still say it's totally different.  One's a variant of O, one's a variant of E (from my Western Christian perspective, anyway).

Okay, probably not the whole box.  Until satiety.

They're the brown sugar cinnamon kind.  The generic Pop-Tarts all have frosting, and believe it or not, it's the only kind I like.  You see, when I bought name-brand Pop-Tarts, I'd get strawberry and blueberry ones... without frosting! :o

I'm saying that Sam Walton doesn't make non-frosted ones.  Kelloggs does.  I don't like that white shit frosting that ruins the fruit filling flavor.  These are basically just sugar inside a pastry, so it goes with it better.

HUDDLE HOUSE IN BARDSTOWN, KENTUCKY AAR

On Sunday Princesca and I had to go to Bardstown, KY to attend a visitation for her uncle's mother.  We got there very early and noticed there was a Huddle House nearby.  I've never been to Huddle House but always wanted to try it so we stopped in for some chow.

The place is bascially a carbon-copy of Waffle House, but has a much larger non-breakfast menu.  I got a pulled pork sammich with fries and Princesca got breakfast.  She said the breakfast at Waffle House is better, but my lunch was better than your typical Waffle House lunch (they don't have stuff like pulled pork at Waffle House).

Overall I liked it, but I still think the best Southern-based fast food place is Chik-Fil-A.  BY FAR.  I can't wait for the old man to croak, since I imagine his greedy little kids will start opening the restaurants on Sundays. :)

WENDY'S IN SHELBYVILLE, KENTUCKY AAR

Today I had to swing by Lowe's to pick up a bunch of shit for the yard and we ate lunch at a Wendy's next to it.  If you haven't been to a Wendy's in a while, the chain has made some drastic improvements.  I usually get chicken sandwiches there but today I tried the Baconator, which is extremely delicious.  Two beef patties, a layer of bacon, a slice of cheese, and topped off with mayo, ketchup, and mustard.  Their fries are now like boardwalk fries with the big grains of salt.  However, the highlight of the experience was this: I was still kinda hungry at the end of my meal and thought about getting up and getting a frosty, but there were too many people in line, so I said screw it and was getting ready to leave.  Just then, a pleasantly plump negroid employee came by my table with a small vanilla frosty AND OFFERED IT TO ME FOR FREE.  What.  The.  Fuck.  So not only is their food now kickass, but they've perfected the art of mind reading. :blink:  :punk:

I haven't actually been to a Wendy's in....um...almost 7 years, and it was about the same then as I remember throughout my childhood.  Did I miss this alleged downward cycle?

I find all that artisan shit they are pushing to be bullcrap. The Singles don't taste like they used to.

I would so wreck that redhead in the new commercials though.

Actually this may be the single worst city I've ever been to.  The downtown area is odd in that it looks like it's in good shape, but there are no people AT ALL other than extremely aggressive panhandlers.  It's like 28 Days Later with negro women instead of zombies. :)

Not this time. We waited until we got home, but I think my decision to hit the GL on the way home got her juiced. She was pretty happy. Girls dig that sort of thing, I think. None of the "where should be go?" nonsense. I picked a place and went. She didn't know what I was doing until we got there. In the meantime, she was talking about her business trip and not really paying attention to the fact that--hey wait a minute, this isn't the way home...

Get one of those radio thermometers. Stick the sensor component in the BBQ (in the air, not in the meat). Take the display with you and put it wherever you're hanging out. They usually have temp alarms you can set. It helps to catch flareups and stuff that might overheat the box.

Basque Beans
(Ezkualdun Itarrak)    
What You Need:
1 ½ pounds dried pink beans or dried light kidney beans, rinsed and drained
3 cups water
2 cups Beef Stock or use canned
¾ pound boneless pork cut in small pieces
¾ pound ham steak, with bone
1 medium yellow onion, peeled and chopped
4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1 bay leaf
½ pound Spanish Chorizo Sausage or Mexican chorizo cut in ¾-inch pieces
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
      
How To Cook:
1. In an 8-quart heavy pot, put the beans and at least twice as much water. Cover and bring to a boil. Turn off heat and let sit for 1 hour.

2. Drain the beans and return them to the pot. Add remaining ingredients except the chorizo, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1 hour.

3. Add the chorizo and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Beans should be very tender and the liquid will tend to thicken up a bit.

4. Taste to see if it needs salt and pepper.

Similar to what I had except the sausages were on buns with spicy mustard and homemade sauerkraut, and no corn (but did have potatoes pretty much exactly like yours). :cool:

Today I had felafel and green beans for dinner.

Had some nice baby back pork ribs last night.  In lieu of doing them right in a smoker - which I do not have - I put them on the BBQl on the lowest heat possible and cooked them for a couple hours.

Simply delicious.

But I was thinking something like what Cal has would look good near the back of my property.

You can get some wonderful ribs doing that.  Put them on low, indirect heat.  Get an grilltop thermometer - you're aiming for 250F.  After about 4 hours put them on direct heat, add some barbecue sauce, cook for another 5-10 minutes (you're just heating up the sauce / adding grill marks at this point) and you're golden.

Throw in a package of woodchips for added fun.

Actually I went there because I've hunted high and low looking for ground bison.  The same ground bison I used to get at my neighborhood grocery store in Whitehorse. :P

So wild meat is probably not the best example to give.  But yeah, there are absolutely some advantages to a semi-foodie like myself to living in the city.  I make regular trips to the local Italian grocery store for all sorts of things I wouldn't be able to find up north.

You would love my butcher.  He has bison steaks, ground meat and even bison pepperoni - a real favourite of the CC clan.

But I go to him mainly for his free range chicken and eggs, pork (where I got the ribs) and grass fed beef.  The CC clan may love him a bit too much come to think about it.  We spend between 250-350 there weekly.

Close to it actually.

That might be a lot for the average family but you need to consider that my boys are now 13 and 15 and they eat a lot.

Typically each week I get:

4 ribeye steaks  - nice and thick (about 2 inches) about 18 ounces each.
4 racks of baby back ribs
2 pounds of chicken wings (make a nice snack)
20 sticks of bison pepperoni
8 chicken legs and 14 or so thighs (basically whatever they have left in the display case)
4 large chicken breasts
2 pounds of stewing beef
2 pork tenderloin.
24 free range eggs
16 no crap sausages.
2 packages of perogies (got to love a butcher that sells those!)

And then whatever they have that week that looks good.  For example, they have a guy who supplies them with pulled pork made with a smoker every once in a while - when that is in I buy it all.  I just cant replicate that sort of thing on my grill.

When things start cooling off I will move toward more roasts in the oven and less grilling outside but we keep doing at least some of that all year round.

So there, all essential food groups covered - beef, bison, pork chicken and eggs.

I got McD at best for their seasonal specials, their breakfast seelction (McGriddles with nutella! Ham&Eggs Wrap! The McMuffins and breakfast burgers!). During winter we get e.g. "Hüttngaudi" which gives ski resort themes, i.e. inspired by apres ski food. Earlier this year (or last year?) they had burgers cerated by gourmet chefs. Etc.

Still prefer BK by a mile. KFC is ok-ish over here, but severely lacking in choice. I miss Popeye's. :(

They've recently added McNoodles (curry or sweat&sour) . . . because there's apparently a lack of places to buy those. :rolleyes: Next thing will probably be either McBratwurst or McDönerKebab, because there's so few of them, too.

Our breakfast selection:

deep-fried veal brain with lime juice
veal sweetbreads with orange and belgian salad
steak-and-kidney pie
chopped beef kidney with mushroom and bordeaux sauce, with polenta
tagliolini in chicken liver broth
tripe, Veneto style.

Everything coupled with the right wine, ranging from chardonnay for the brain to a really excellent lagrein for the tripe.

Today - fasting, and lots of water  :blush:

Not Taco Bell. Swore off that place 20 years ago.

:lmfao:

Quote(Newser) – If you don't want to eat horse, you might want to drop the chalupa. The great European horse meat scandal has spread to Taco Bell, with British regulators revealing today that they found horse meat at the chain's UK locations. That, it turns out, puts the Bell in pretty elite company; of the 1,797 meat samples regulators tested from across the country, only four came up positive, including Birds Eye ready meals and Brakes skewers, which had already been implicated, Reuters reports.

Taco Bell has just three outlets in the UK. The company released a statement stressing that the contaminated meat came from a single supplier in Europe, and noting, "We immediately withdrew ground beef from sale in our restaurants, discontinued purchase of that meat, and contacted the Food Standards Agency." But the news comes at an inconvenient time for parent company Yum Brands, which just this week announced it was tightening safety standards after its Chinese KFC restaurants had a contaminated chicken scare.

Good grief, that's taken you a long time, especially given your Ulster-Scots heritage. 

When a student, a lunch based on two scot eggs used to be a staple of mine.  :)

Though I'm guessing the scotch egg as nothing to do with either Scotland, Ireland or for that matter wholesome eggs.   :bowler:

Apparently not:

The London department store Fortnum & Mason claims to have invented Scotch eggs in 1738,[1][2] but they may have been inspired by the Moghul dish nargisi kofta ("Narcissus meatballs").[3]

The earliest printed recipe is the 1809 edition of Mrs. Rundell's A New System of Domestic Cookery. Mrs. Rundell—and later 19th-century authors—served them hot, with gravy

No offence, but that looks like something from the 1973 British Bad Food Guide.

Spam? Solid scrambled eggs? Taters look nice tho'

Had a burger at the much hyped Meat Liquour at lunchtime as I found myslef in Marylebone at the right time and theer were no queues. Decent enough but not worth the hype. At the end of the day there's only so much you can do with a burger.

Have to admit I haven't had spam for more than 20 years and can't remember what it tasted like. It's so unfashionable here, I'm surprised it hasn't come back into fashion.

Scrambled eggs should be cooked until they are just set - i.e. over a very low heat, stirring constantly. If you want them solid you should just have an omlette.

I'm soaking some chicken parts in a mixture of buttermilk and hot sauce so I can fry them tomorrow.

Any of you southerners have an opinion on the proper way? I figure I'm going to use my wok. The cast iron skillet would work but I think I can control the wok easier. I have a Le Creuset too if that would be better. What mixture should I use for the flour coating? I'm thinking I'll put salt, pepper, maybe some paprika and cayenne. They say the crust is better if you use some baking powder with it. Maybe I'll do a test. Egg or no egg? I think no since I have the buttermilk but hey.

I have a beef brisket covered in a salt mixture to cure in the fridge. It will take three or four days. Once it's cured, I'll take it out, rinse it clean, dry it, rub it with garlic and cover it with a combination of coriander and peppercorns. Then I'll slow smoke it for eight or ten hours, probably Sunday. Homemade pastrami.

I had many a pao de queijo recently.  They're okay.  My family all commented on how much Brazillians seem to like their cheese.

I was generally disappointed with the food in Brazil.  Meat was universally over-cooked.  They have absolutely amazing fresh fruits - but they seemed to rarely serve them.  And though I like beans just fine, they don't seem to do anything very interesting with them when they get served at every meal.

I did find one amazing dish I'd never heard of before though - moqueca. :mmm:

The pastrami is done curing. I rinsed it off completely, rubbed it with garlic and covered it with pepper and coriander. It's in the Akorn now to smoke for a long time. The curing process is interesting. It produced a couple cups of water that was pulled from the meat. It also made the brisket hard. I didn't cut any to see if the nitrite did it's job and gave it that nice red color inside, but I'll find that out soon enough.
Title: Re: What are you eating?
Post by: MadImmortalMan on April 15, 2013, 12:17:06 PM
It took 5.5-6 hours on the smoker to get my pastrami up to the right temp. I'm finding that this thing cooks everything just a bit faster than most smokers.

So anyway, it turned out with a nice red inside the way it's supposed to with a spicy pepper crust. I sliced a little bit off to see. It's pretty salty and spicy. Tonight, I'll experiment with a couple ways to treat it for the last step. Katz steams theirs for three hours I think. I might try putting a chunk in a crock pot on a rack with some water under it. Last night I took a tiny bit of the piece I cut off and nuked it in a small bowl with some water. It essentially turned the water into a rich salty beef jus. I sopped that up with some bread and ate it. Really flavorful but very salty.

I think I'll also try soaking some slices in cold water for a little while to cut the saltiness down. Maybe four days was too long to cure it. If the thickest part of the brisket is cured all the way through, I'll test curing half the time next time.



Title: Re: What are you eating?
Post by: MadImmortalMan on April 15, 2013, 11:25:01 PM
Well I've put the entire brisket through the slicer and I've got a mountain of pastrami now. I was overly worried about the saltiness. (The piece I tested was from the very tip of the brisket flat and saltier than the rest.) I should add up what I spent on this to see if it's worth it to do it this way or just buy it. The quality is definitely better than the average supermarket kind, I think.

It's an experiment. I enjoy the process. I might do it again and improve it, or never touch it again. In Europe, charcuterie is commonplace, but over here, it's just not part of the scene. I will be trying salume of various types in a wine fridge with a couple adjustments. I can't buy Jamon Iberico or saucisson sec in the US of pasteurized A. I'm not blowing the cash it will take to make the good stuff until I can at least make some decent pastrami and pancetta. It's education.

So yeah, I wound up with ~5lb pastrami from my experiment. Enough to live on long enough to sail to the New World.  :P

Your home-made pastrami sounds amazing! :mmm:

We've moved offices so I've been trying to find somewhere to get a cheap lunch. Stumbled on a Persian cafe and had a pitta bread wrap with hot chicken kebab, hummus, raw spinach and pomegranate. Deee-lish, and cheaper that a supermarket sandwich.

A sausage and egg biscuit(NO CHEESE) from Tudor's Biscuit World.  :)
Dude, I LOVE that place!  They have them in Dayton? :hmm:

Xenia. I wish the franchisee would expand a bit.

We could start a Languish franchise....

...right across the street from the Languish Tilted-Kilt franchise.

I will NEVER, EVER work in a restaurant again.

As an owner, I actually think I would totally love to work in a restaurant again.  It's exercise, free (well, available) food that you presumably like, it's bossing people around, it's feeding people which is a far more direct and less ambiguous social good than I currently provide, obviously contributing to net utility.  I could have a self-righteous vegetarian section on the menu.  There are teenagers to sexually harass.  It's got it all.

Right. Closed in 6 months.

Nothing wrong with Wal-Mart food...Cheerios are Cheerios...but I wouldn't spent 20 hours home-cooking Wal-Mart quality lunch meat.

One pretty awesome thing I've discovered recently is Wal-Mart's party subs.  You can feed a herd of people and still have leftovers for like $20.  And they taste pretty good, to boot.

NY strip, medium, done on the cast-iron. Baked potato and green beans cooked in the steak juices after they came off with some diced bacon and chives.

When cooking the steak I've discovered I don't need any butter or anything. I just sear it on the fatty edge by standing it on end first. That gets me enough cooking medium to do the whole thing. Steak + pan. Nothing else.

I find that rubbing a little olive oil on the steak itself after dry-rubbing it to be more than enough, and it seems to make the pan frying more consistent.

I had Jagerschnitzel with spatzle and carrots, a glass of Franziskaner Weissbier, and coffee and weichselstrudel for dessert.

Not only was the food awesome, but pretty much every waitress in the joint was hot, they wore dirndls, and most of them were actual Germans. :cool:

Nah - all the ash and whatnot in the bottom was seriously building up.  Plus the heat shields were corroding away to nothing, so I had bits of rusted-out metal everywhere too.  Like I said - bad.

I usually crank the grill for 10 minutes before cooking anything on it anyways.

Fry the bits in a little oil till desired degree of brown-ness is reached.

Prepare scrambled eggs mix: three eggs, salt pepper and herbs to taste, a handful grated cheese - whisk.

Pour egg mixture over bratwurts bits and fry/still till you're happy with the result.

Optional: some chopped onion, to fry with the bratwurst bits.

Carne asada tacos. Yes, grilled. I'm averaging about 2x a week on the grill recently.

Skip--I also do my scratch pizzas on the grill. I put a paving stone in there and crank the coals up to about half the smelting temp of copper. Pizza comes out perfect on just a couple minutes. :lol:

Bison is too lean to make for a really great steak.  You have to have some sort of sauce to make it really good.

On the other hand, I've had a a mean elk steak once or twice...

Leftovers quesadilla. Made with (this time) leftover tri-tip steak taco meat, scrambled eggs, some rice and chickpeas, a bit of kielbasa and some roasted red bell peppers. Put all the leftovers smothered with cheese between a couple of huge size tortillas and cook in the oven for ten or fifteen minutes on a pretty high temp. Cut like a pizza. Can do with just about anything you find in the fridge.

It's cheater day for the cook.  :P

For dinner we had bread (homemade by me), cheese, fruit (apples and pears), salami, prosciutto, and wine. :cool:

We do this dinner on occasion and always try to pick a couple of different cheeses, including ones we've never had before if possible.  Today's cheeses:

Saint-Andre - triple cream Brie-like cheese from Coutances, Normandy.  It was a little too rich for my liking, but went well smeared on pear and apple slices.

Époisses de Bourgogne - one of the worst-smelling cheeses I've ever had, but had a pretty good taste.  Overwhelmed most everything I put it on, but was too pungent to be eaten alone, so I ended up eating it with bread.

Mahón - from the city of the same name on Minorca.  I LOVED this cheese, easily my favorite of the three.  The only one I really liked eating all on its own.

Mrs. MIM went to some new Japanese crepe joint this evening. I wasn't hungry but whatever. She gave me a crepe with green tea ice cream in it. What is this foul nonsense. It's awful. I had to wash my mouth out with scotch.

 Fried rice, Udon with what feels akin to rice krispies inside, Miso soup, tea (of course!) and a bit of ginger. All for only 500 yen!

Once you bid farewell to meat, this is a very inexpensive country to eat in.

Also, every Chick-Fil-A I've ever been to has great service--very fast and friendly, and the restaurants are always spotless.  If they were just open on Sundays, it would be the perfect fast food place. :(

Princesca and I tried a Nigerian restaurant today.  It was AWESOME. :mmm:

We got moin-moin for an appetizer, which are these little bean curd cake things topped with a spicy tomato sauce.

For entrees Princesca got chicken peanut stew, the stew being a very peanutty curry, basically.  It came with fufu, which is this stuff kind of like grits.

I got Peri-Peri chicken, which was a blackened breast of chicken marinated in some sort of extremely hot spice, with a side of jollof rice (basically rice in a spicy tomato paste) and a side of kuchambari, which was like a sort of cole slaw in some purple lemony sauce.

I've had two tomato plants growing on my deck.  They made a whole whack of really ugly, split tomatoes.  I did the only thing I could - made tomato sauce.

I've never made home-made tomato sauce before.  It's definitely a PITA to do - having to skin and seed the tomatoes.  However the end result was pretty good - and nothing like a jar tomato sauce.

I nearly set fire to the neighborhood this evening.

I was doing some tri tip and corn on the cob in the grill. I finished the corn and took it off, brought it in the house. In the amount of time it took to get the corn inside and get back out there my tri tip had basically exploded in flames. I mean my charcoal disintegrated, my grill brush caught fire and I couldn't put it out without turning on the hose. I sprayed down the trees behind the grill just to be safe. The air here is already full of smoke from the fires over the hill, tbh. My contribution might have been noticed otherwise.

Beef tallow can apparently create a massive amount of heat in very little time. The flames were about five feet high. I was able to salvage it but I'm very good at this and even I can get caught out by random acts of immolation.


Edit: This was the first time in a while I used the normal grill instead of the Akorn, which is much easier to control. I may be getting spoiled. At least all the spiders are certainly dead.

We went to a nice place tonight for our anniversary.

I had five courses prix fixe : first was a jumbo scallop in a grapefruit beurre blanc, second was a rocket, pickled onion, and goat cheese salad, third was a filet of coho salmon over asparagus and a pancetta risotto, fourth was a 4 oz filet mignon, fingerling potatoes, and roast broccoli with a caramelized foie gras sauce, and fifth was some kind of chocolate tart with mixed berries and a scoop of banana ice cream.  Had a glass of malbec to drink with dinner and coffee for dessert.  Really good meal.

Princesca ordered a la carte and her main course was roasted quail with morels, which she did NOT like. :(  Neither one of us had ever had morels before and she gave me one to taste.  It was... odd.  I don't really know how to describe the flavor other than it was oddly sweet, which I'm not sure if that was natural to the morel or had something to do with how it was prepared. :hmm:

I've had two tomato plants growing on my deck.  They made a whole whack of really ugly, split tomatoes.  I did the only thing I could - made tomato sauce.

What about salsa?

You're right.  I could have made home-made salsa as well.

Happy? <_<

Well just for garbon* I made fresh salsa last night.  Served it on top of carne asada for slightly more authentic tacos (compared to the stuff from a kit we usually make).  Darn good actually. :thumbsup:





*Not really, but I realized that in addition to the fresh tomatoes I needed to use, I also needed to use up the chili peppers I'd grown...

Princesca had to get a CPAP machine this morning and I tagged along.  The respiratory dude screwed up the appointment time and was an hour late, so we missed karate and decided to tour the Four Roses distillery instead, which was just a few miles away.  After that, we went to this place called Wallace Station Deli for lunch.  It was featured on that food show with Guy Fieri one time.  Princesca got the burger that he had there and said it was "one of the five best burgers anywhere" and thought it was good, but said Five Guys is better. :lol:  She thought their fries were the best she's ever had though... tossed in truffle oil and topped with shredded white cheddar with a garlic aioli for dipping.  I don't know if I would go that far, but they were definitely good.

A very brief history lesson... Alberta politics are weird.  Always have been.  One of the many strange things about this province is that despite having a well-earned reputation for being right-wing, we actually have a government-owned bank.  It used to be Alberta Treasury Branch, now called ATB Financial.  It was set up by the Social Credit government back in the 1930s, and is still going strong.  It operates exclusively in Alberta, and as such escapes any federal regulation.

So anyways, the food truck I go up to has a bunch of ATB Financial flags around it.  I get in line, and a lady approaches me and says that it's ATB's 75th anniversary.  To celebrate, they were sponsoring a special Avocado, Bacon and Tomato burger at this food truck (ATB burger, get it :rolleyes).  It was for $5 instead of the regular $10 they'd charge (and indeed everything else on the menu was ~$10).

So, because Bible Bill Aberhart wanted to stick it to the big banks back in the depression, I got a half-price burger, plus a lunchkit and some jelly beans today.  Strangest promotion ever.

The burger itself was very good.  The avocado (well, guacamole) was surprisingly tasty on a burger.

But this is probably my last day for eating lunch outside from a food truck. :(

My mother in law likes to cook me dinner for my birthday.  I always ask her to make something from a different ethnic cuisine each year because I like to broaden peoples' horizons. :cool:

This year, I picked Dutch in honor of my Dutch ancestors.  She will be making this thing where you boil a bunch of taters and then sort of mash them up with butter.  In a separate pot you cook down greens (kale or endive) and steam sausage over top of them, and in a skillet you cook up small pieces of bacon and onion.  At the end you mix it all together and serve the sausage on top.  I forget what it's called off the top of my head but it means "mash pot" in Dutch I think.

I also had her make me an apple pie for dessert but it's a little different than an 'American' apple pie in that you mix in cream of wheat/semolina and shredded bread and use a bunch more spices than usual (including cardamom and black pepper), and raisins soaked in rum or brandy.

Sounds similar to the Northwest German "Grünkohl" dish.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kale

QuoteA whole culture around kale has developed in north-western Germany around the towns of Bremen, Oldenburg and Hannover. There, most social clubs of any kind will have a Grünkohlessen or Kohlfahrt ("kale tour") sometime between October and February, visiting a country inn to consume large quantities of kale stew, Pinkel sausage, Kassler, Mettwurst and Schnapps. These tours are often combined with a game of Boßeln. Most communities in the area have a yearly kale festival which includes naming a "kale king" (or queen).

Here's how I make cafe con leche, which tastes just like what you can get in Miami:

1.  Fill coffee cup 1/4 full with cold milk.

2.  Add a punch of salt to the milk.

3.  Pour milk into steel frothing pitcher.

4.  Add white sugar to frothing pitcher.  I usually use about two tsp. of sugar.

5.  Steam milk with steaming wand on espresso machine.

6.  Pour steamed milk back into coffee cup.

7.  Fill single shot filter on espresso handle with Cafe Bustelo ground coffee.

8.  Pull shot of espresso into coffee cup, stirring constantly with a teaspoon.

It looks like a lot of steps but it only takes a few minutes to make.

I'm back in the D for the Holidays.  CB and I went to a Fresh-Off-the-Boat Yemeni restaurant.  I had never been to a Yemeni restaurant before; there food is similar to Arab, but uses spices more common to India.  They even serve a sort of chutney with their meals.  I had the lamb stew (Mandeh) and CB had a chicken sandwich (Gaballah) both were delicious.
Is it similar to Ethiopian food?  To me Ethiopian tastes like a cross between Middle Eastern and Indian.

In terms of spice it was similar; but they use more saffron.  They don't have as many bean dishes, rice is more the staple, and their bread is the Middle Eastern pita style bread. 

The Ethiopian food I've had has come from westernized restaurants; while everyone at the cafe we were at yesterday was a recent immigrant so it's hard for me to make an informed comparison.

CB and I went to the Detroit staple Buddy's Pizza for lunch.  While both Little Caesar's and Domino's originated in Metro Detroit; Detroiters tend to consider Buddy's as Detroit style pizza:

It's square, deep dish and cooked in cast iron pans.  The pizza isn't as thick as a Chicago-style pizza and the crust isn't at all like what you'd get at Gino's East or Pizza Uno.  It's crisp and much less dense.

I got dinner with my wife and some friends last night at one of metro Detroit's older restaurants, Peking House.  I had a dish that is common to the Detroit-Windsor area, but almost unheard of anywhere else; Almond Boneless Chicken (ABC on many menus; Wai Shu Gai on ones that try to pass it off as authentic Chinese.)  It's an Americanized Chinese Dish, that's deep fried chicken served on a bed of iceberg lettuce and served with a spicy gravy and almonds:

(https://languish.org/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fmisckitchen.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F04%2FDSC_9030.jpg&hash=803050426090805c4e226b1ac5d7f73f864e2d73)

Some restaurants take liberties with it, the version I had last night had broccoli in it.

The other unusual thing that you'll see at many Chinese restaurants in Detroit is that take out, (and sometimes sit-down meals) comes with sweet rolls.  That's likely because a number of restaurant owners had lived in Hawaii before they came to Detroit.

When my grandfather was a young man he lived in a multi-ethnic neighborhood on Detroit's west side.  Every Greek immigrant his family knew had a restaurant; so he assumed that every Greek owned a restaurant.  He wasn't too far off in Detroit; the typical family restaurant and the ubiquitous Coney Island serves Greek food.  CB and I went to one yesterday; National Coney Island.  I had their Coney Dogs, a hot dog topped with a meat chili; the chili is flavored with typical Greek spices like oregano and garlic.  CB got the Gyros with chicken lemon rice soup (soup avgolemono, but no one calls it that in Detroit.)

The other common dish most local restaurants carry is a Greek salad.  The salads I had in Athens were simply tomato, onion and feta with an oil and vinegar dressing.  In Detroit a Greek salad is iceberg lettuce, salad peppers, feta, onions, beets, garbanzo beans, and black olives.  The dressing usually an oil and vinegar dressing with feta, oregano and garlic.  This is so common in Detroit that many bar and grills will carry it.

Nah, just trying various burger places. The problem is to find a decent one in Vienna. One of your best bets would be Burger King, actually, especially when it comes to price vs. quality.

The one I order the above from was actually pretty good (you had to put the burger into the microwave for a minute to re-heat it, though) - I've had some horrible burgers here; either everything soggy and mushed, or so dry you could use it as blotting paper. A chili burger where the "cili" was a small dollop of tabasco hidden in the middle. Etc.

One of the best "burgers" was the "Crispy Queenslander" at an Australian place which put a chicken filet (deep fried in beer batter) on the bun with a slice of pineapple. Unfortunately, that tasty morsel has been discontinued. :(

..and this is more Cincinnati chili than chili mac, I guess.  It was made with spaghetti and topped with shredded cheddar.

My recent bachelor dish:

- 1 bag of Trader Joe's turkey meatballs.
- 1 bag of Trader Joe's frozen vegetable blend.

- Microwave meatballs long enough to be able to cut, thaw veggies under hot water, dice meatballs, mix all together in cook in a wok for a bit.  Makes a couple 350-400 calorie meals (one usually saved for lunch the next day).

I shouldn't have gone through this list so far ahead of lunchtime.  They have some really good picks.  I swear I've been to at least 10 of the restaurants mentioned.  I'm a sucker for trying the local sandwich speciality for lunch when I travel on business. 

They even have Seedy's favorite Lake Trout in there.

From that list, I have had:

Alabama: Alabama-Style Chicken Sandwich With White Sauce
Arkansas: Fried Bologna Sandwich (not in Arkansas though... we have those exact sandwiches here)
California: The French Dip
Connecticut: Connecticut-Style Hot Lobster Roll
Florida: The Cuban
Illinois: The Italian Beef
Indiana: The Pork Tenderloin
Iowa: Loose-Meat Sandwich (in Missouri, though)
Kentucky: The Hot Brown
Louisiana: The Muffaletta
Maine: Lobster Roll
Massachusetts: The Fluffernutter
New Hampshire: Beer-Battered Fish Sandwich
New Jersey: Italian Sub - White House Subs is literally the best sub shop on the planet  :licklips:
North Carolina: Chopped Pork
Ohio: The Polish Boy  :cool:
Texas: Brisket on Toast
Vermont: Vermonter
Wisconsin: The Red Brat

I never even heard of the place listed for Pennsylvania, and it's ludicrous that the state sammich wasn't the cheesesteak.  Jersey probably should have been the Pork Roll, too, though like I said White House Subs in AC is amazing.

It seems like it has become very hard to get in Cleveland.  I had to hunt around till I found a place that sold it, and that place has closed since I was up there.  IIRC that Seti's Polish Boy vendor is actually a lunch truck.

A pasty isn't a sandwich.   :mad:

;)

Those are only popular in the western half of Michigan's upper peninsula.  I went to college up there, and I don't much care for them; they're bland and heavy.  The locals love them, though they douse them in catsup.

Given the prolific number of Greek and Middle Eastern cafes in the Detroit area the Gyro would probably have been a better choice for Michigan; or maybe the loose hamburgers from the Coney Islands.

I was in Pittsburgh for business once.  My coworkers insisted that we go to Primanti Brothers for their signature sandwich of meat, cole slaw and fries; but none of the Pistburghers ordered that.  After having one I didn't blame them.  So at least Pennsylvania's wasn't that.

@Sav Yet, to a lot of people, that sandwich would be odd what with the roast pork and all.  Same for the fried baloney sandwich from 'Arkansas' (in reality it's all over the Midwest and Upper South).

Overall I would have to say the Cuban sandwich is the best one on the list if it's done well.

I had duck fat popcorn, beer cheese, and a 'nachburger' medium rare with German tater salad, washed down with a hefeweizen and chocolate pot de creme for dessert.  The burger was made with all local ingredients (local grass beef, bacon, etc.) served on a brioche bun.

I've had it that way, but I don't remember my favorite brand (Seltzer's?) having it.  Anyway, this stuff was pretty well-made.  Boar's Head is usually pretty solid.

Ah, Lebanon ham. :)

I miss all that Pennsyltucky food and drink. :(  I really lived the dream there for a while, residing in Philadelphia but driving to see my girlfriend in Pittsburgh every other weekend.  Taking day trips to Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and Allentown.  Side trips to Delco all the time, Doylestown, Norristown.  Stopping off in Altoona, Harrisburg, Ephrata, Carlisle, Lancaster, Lebanon, Reading, etc.  Only place of note I never really got to was Erie.  And most of the emptiness that comprises the famous "T."

So I ate cheesesteaks (American w/ fried onions) all over Phila. and Delco (since some of the best spots were actually in inner suburbs like Upper Darby), noting the regional subtleties; for instance, steaks in Northeast Phila. use sliced beef rather than chopped.  I ate warm links of soft pretzels every morning in the freezing pre-work darkness as I walked past a pretzel bakery on my way to the bus stop, three for a dollar.  I cooled off with cones of water ice outside the library on hot summer days.  I ate stromboli where it was invented in the early 50s (and named after the movie), at a place by the airport in Essington.  I got take-out panzarotti, those fried little calzone things peculiar to South Jersey and South Philly.  I gorged on the roast pork sandwiches, dripping with juice, sharp provolone and greens.  I ate scrapple and fried eggs in countless greasy spoons, accompanied by bad coffee and a cigarette burning in the ashtray, before the smoking ban.  Sometimes I swapped pork roll, but scrapple was my preference.  I ate Primanti sandwiches in downtown Pittsburgh, pierogies and halupki in Bloomfield, chipped ham on a day trip to Wheeling W.V., and great hot dogs in Oakland.  For dessert, there was always Clark bars out west, Tastykakes and Goldenberg's Peanut Chews out east, whoopie pies in Dutch country.  And I washed it all down with cases (and it was always cases because of the wacky liquor laws) of cheap beer: Iron City, Rolling Rock, Straub, Lionshead, Stegmaier, Yuengling Lager, Lord Chesterfield Ale, Schmidt's, Reading Premium, etc.  Not to mention the occasional pint of a delightful microbrew, of which there were too many to name.  A cold Pennsylvania Dutch birch beer now and then for non-alcoholic refreshment.

Between my mind-numbing sedentary job, newfound discovery of happy hour, and culinary explorations, I put on 40 pounds, it's true.  But I did it in the true Pennsylvania way. :sleep:

Smithfield ham for Easter. Classic.

The ham has been split three ways between the family visitors (freeloaders), but I kept the core and the bones. I always do this, Thanksgiving turkey, etc. They've been on the simmer for about 20 hours and now I have 2 gallons of stock. I filled all the mason jars I had available (6) and most of a huge pot which I will use for potato soup in a couple days.

30 bucks, 20 pound ham, who knows how many meals it will end up contributing to. Who knows how much money I've saved since I learned to do this.

I just love it. Take bones, cover with water, put on lowest heat available, go play video games for seventeen hours. And the house smells great too.

It's a beautiful day today, and I had off, so I decided to take a stroll to Mariahilfer Straße, the main shopping street, for some purchases. At the far end is one of our few KFCs. I hadn't been in a long time, so with a swing in my step and a tune on my lips I thought, "Why not?"

Their soda fountain seems to be broken. At any rate, they were pouring coke from bottles instead. Ok, can happen.

I had a chicken cheese sandwich menu and some hot wings. The fries were practically unsalted. Worse, though: the sandwich was dripping with mayonnaise - almost like they had dunked all the ingredients in it. The worst: the chicken was lukewarm at best, and the rest of the ingredients had a temperature as if they had come straight from the refrigerator.

I rarely complain in a fast food joint, but I returned that frozen thing and had it replaced by a warm one. I did get some extra chicken strips for free, though. And the hot wings were ok.

About half of it.  It was just going to get trashed if I didn't.  I bought too much, it was too greasy, and while the shrimp and chicken were fine, the beef was leathery and kind of gross.

Ah, I see you're unfamiliar with Red Robin.  They offer veggie patty alternatives.  They're actually quite delicious.

I have accidentally gotten one with bacon before.  Oopsy.  For a no-education service position that actually pays almost a living wage, you'd think waiters and waitresses would do their jobs slightly better--I was trained to be sensitive to customers' needs, and I'd have definitely suspected that someone getting a veggie patty burger might be a vegetarian and ask if the bacon was, if you'll pardon the pun, kosher.

Of course, the actual goal of waitstaff is turnover, because money.  Service is secondary.  We live in terrible days with a time horizon on our decisionmaking processes that doesn't extend past about sixty seconds.

They smoked the hell out of it.  Even my baked beans were smoked somehow. 

If you ever venture up here again, the place may be worth checking out: http://elisbarbeque.com/

They're kind of a minimalist setup-- they have limited seating indoors and it's BYOB (which I actually prefer being able to bring my own).  But it's getting quite popular.  There are a few other mom & pop BBQ places around here I need to check out-- dunno why it took me so long to branch out from Montgomery Inn.

The grocery at the corner had steak at half price because its best before date is this Sunday. I picked up a pound each of rib-eye and a pound of rump steak for under €10 (which is a huge bargain here).

Just had the rib-eye with baked potato and a small salad. Very good cut, though I would say that the slices were two thin (half an inch instead of a full inch), making it a bit tricky to fry it rare, but I managed.

Tomorrow the rump steak, then.

For the first time in quite a while I went to a French restaurant today.  This one specializes in Provencal cuisine.  It was: delicious.

I had a merguez sandwich.  It was a baguette with merguez (mutton sausage spiced with harissa), dijon, carrot, and lettuce served with pommes frites and a mesclun salad.  Had a glass of wine from Carcasonne with that (I forget what it was called exactly but it tasted like a merlot).

We had jager schnitzel, spatzle, kartoffelsalat, sauerkraut, and strudel.  Also had Oktoberfest and Warsteiner on tap.  I wanted Hefeweizen but they didn't have it. :(

Princesca and I do this thing sometimes where we watch a movie and make a dinner 'appropriate' to the movie.  Last night we watched Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, so we found a Bolivian recipe to go along with it.... some thing called 'majao'.

It was the SHIZNIT! :cool:  Basically, you take either beef jerky or beef stew meat and boil it in brine for ten minutes.  You then set the beef aside and save the water.  Meanwhile, you saute red onion in corn oil till translucent, and then add chopped tomato, cayenne pepper, a cup of the brine, and two beef bouillon cubes to the pan.  After you cook all that shit together you throw it into tthe pot with the rest of the brine, add two cups of rice, and then some more water, and you cook the rice up like a risotto, basically.

Meanwhile, you take two plantains, cut them in half, and fry them in a little corn oil (I used an electric griddle for this).  Once those are done and the rice has absorbed all of the water, you fry two eggs and serve the majao with the plantains on the side and topped with a fried egg.

You can't fail with a smoked chicken in my experience (so long as you don't overcook it.)  Even if you hadn't used a rub it would still turn out well.  A dark beer with your rub added would make for an excellent mop.

Dinner went well amd the chicken was great, though it didn't have a whole hell of a lot of smoke flavor.  I was afraid to overdo it on the wood chips so I a) didn't soak them, and b) only added like 3-4 new chips once an hour or so (I did fill the chip hopper up before I started the smoker, too).

Caribou in the local cuisine is often overrated.  For example, you can find "caribou hot dogs" for sale, and when you read the ingredients, they say "contains beef, pork, and some caribou meat".

Pure caribou foods are pretty rare.

Just had one of the nicest burgers in my time in Vienna - and from a delivery service, no less (a few blocks away).

On the bottom part of the bun was a jam from glazed bacon, and some rucola/rocket. Then the nicely grilled 1/4 pounder. On it, a few slices of cherry tomatoes, and a few more rucola leaves. On top, just enough blue cheese to be absorbed into the bun without getting soggy.

It looked small, but was really filling, and the ingredients very nicely complimented each other without any one becoming overbearing.

Similar to this, but the salmon is mashed, mixed with various stuff and then coated in egg yolk and fine breadcrumbs.

Trying a self-inspired, bachelor-capable, makeshift meatloaf recipe:

- Bison hamburger
- frozen chopped onions
- frozen chopped kale
- frozen chopped peppers
- a few dashes of garlic/herb seasoning
- some sea salt
- egg
- a bit of almond flour
- substituted diced tomatoes from the original recipe with tomato/garlic pasta sauce.
- I lacked ketchup for the topping, so I substituted BBQ sauce. 

We'll see how it turns out in about an hour.  :P

Had my first attempt at a cheddar cheese sauce with bacon bits yesterday.

Result: mediocre. I had to use twice the milk suggested in the recipe to get the right consistency, and I think I used too much flour, because it's pretty dominant in taste. Also, I need to find a balance for the spices I add.

However, served over potato wedges and deep fried chicken it's surprisingly edible.

Just had a motherfucking delicious store brand pizza.  Pesto and mozzarella.  Would not have predicted that it would be possibly the best pizza I've had in about five years.  It was very similar to the pizza place in my hometown, long since closed.  Thick dollops of cheese on crunchy crust.  Tastes like: nostalgia.

Kimchi is quite delicious... and I'd love to try that dog meat stew. :)

My parents have taken a Korean girl who waitresses at our regular pizza joint under their wing.  She and her squeeze (a haole) were over for Thansgivin.  We had a delightful post-dinner discussion of the proper technique to prepare dog for the pot.  You hang a dog up with wire then bit the shit out of it with sticks until it's dead.  Supposed to tenderize the meat.

Butterfinger sucks ass. Go back to Reece's.

Why?  Korea didn't import any food when I was growing up, but was swarming with GIs who had PX privileges.  If you wanted a can of Spam you had to get in a back alley shop.
Surprising that:

1.  Someone would buy that shit
2.  Someone would sell that shit on the black market
3.  Someone would import that shit into Korea

:)

:bleeding:  Yi just explained that it wasn't imported "into" Korea -- it was imported to be sent to the American PX for GIs.  Therefore it could only be purchased by non-(US)military off the black market.  The only possibly surprising thing is that someone would buy that shit.  But I figure it looked pretty attractive during the late 60s/early 70s in the ROK.

I made some pear salad for lunch yesterday.  I almost got pineapple instead, but decided I wanted something less tart.

(In case it has different definitions elsewhere, pear salad and pineapple salad are the primary ingredient plus mayonnaise or Miracle Whip and cheddar cheese.  Pretty delicious, though it's a lot better when all the ingredients are properly chilled.  Oops. -_- )

The best pizza joints are the out-of-the-way neighborhood ones that specialize in New York-style the size of trash can lids with enough grease to lube an RV, and like garbon says, you have to fold into an origami model of a XB-70 Valkyrie to eat.
Pizza Hut's only saving grace is their crust.  They opened a Little Caesar's here recently, but I'm hesitant to try it, as it may spoil what little positive memories i have of it.

Anybody have any "The Big Cheese" franchises near you?  Or is that just a Mobtown thing?

Made one of my childhood staples. Frikadellen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frikadeller), with potatoes, peas, baby carrots and brown gravy. I think I overdid it a bit with the onions in the meat, though.

Liep, I suppose you have something like German Zwiebelmett up there? It's raw minced pork, spiced, and with onion on top. Kind of like a pork version steak tartar, usually eaten on a bread roll.

Ate at Red Lobster yesterday for the 2nd time in my life, the first being 25 years ago.  They're doing a lobster feast special.

The lobster was better than I expected.  I split a mongo platter with my mom.  It came with one Maine lobster tail, one Rock lobster tail, and a linguine with shrimp and lobster claw pieces.

Got a big pot of Texas chili on the stove.  It's a new recipe I got from a dude I know from a meat smoking forum who lives in Whitehouse, TX (think that's someplace near Dallas).  It's saltier than any chili I've tasted before.  He puts a tbsp of Tony's in it and that's probably why, as that stuff is probably more salt and MSG than anything else.

In and Out Burger.  Double-double animal style. :cool:

Bad experience today, though.  The one I went to had a posted capacity of 63 persons and there were easily double that in there.  I only ordered the burger cause their fries are just ok and I figured I'd just take it back to the hotel and eat it.  Took almost 20 minutes just to get a damn burger. :glare:

Then I brought it back here and the fucking water is shut off for the next hour due to renovations.  I opened up the toilet tank and it doesn't even have water in there (it's some contraption I've not seen before without any water).  Me so thirsty  :(

Well, there's not many donut shops here. You can get a chocolate donut at most bakeries, but beyond that there's not much. It seems DD's is also serving bagles here, so that's a bit of a plus, but we have a few places for that already.

Their bagels though leave a lot to be desired.

I only like DD for its shitty iced coffee.

There are things that float around on the top and may linger for many flushes though(notably dead insects, though this goes for much smaller debris as well). It's more like drinking water that's been sitting in the sink a couple days than drinking out of the tap.

Not had chipotle. Wahaca is a pretty decent chain and is doing well, but generally Mexican food is pretty dire here (in fairness, I thought it was pretty dire in Mexico too so maybe not my thing).

Oh sure their culture is "authentic" but mine is "fake". Stupid fake cultures.

But really that is because it is misnamed as "Mexican", since it is really border food. I also tend to associate it with being hot and spicy and less being cheesey. But your mileage may vary, I am sure it is different as you get away from Texas.

Post by: Gups on March 25, 2015, 08:01:48 AM
Hey Valmy, I'm thinking of cooking a chilli at the weekend. Any thoughts on this recipe from the Guardian, which attempts to be authentic

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2011/may/12/cook-perfect-chilli-con-carne


Beef dripping or vegetable oil, to fry
1kg mince
2 onions, thinly sliced
5 cloves of garlic, minced
500ml freshly brewed coffee
2 chipotle chillies
2 ancho chillies
1 tsp cumin seeds, toasted
1 tbsp Mexican oregano
1 tbsp dark brown muscovado sugar
2 tsp chilli powder, or to taste
2 fresh long green chillies
400g cooked kidney beans


1. Heat the fat in a large, heavy-bottomed pan on a high heat, then brown the mince in batches, stirring regularly: don't crowd the pan, or it will steam rather than brown. Add the onions and stir fry briefly, until slightly browned.

2. Turn the heat down and add the garlic. Stir and cook until the onion has completely softened, then add the coffee and a generous pinch of salt and simmer, covered, for 2 hours.

3. Meanwhile, cut the stalks off the dried chillies and take out the seeds. Grind together in a pestle and mortar with rock salt and the roasted cumin seeds. Stir in the oregano and chilli powder.

4. Add the spices to the pan along with the sugar fresh chillies and simmer, partially covered, for another half hour, adding a little water if it seems dry, or you prefer a saucier chilli. 10 minutes before the end of cooking, add the beans, taste, and adjust the seasoning and spicing if necessary. If possible, leave overnight and reheat to serve.

Does the British version of chilli con carne have its own merits, or is it an affront to one of the southwest's proudest pieces of culinary heritages? Do tomatoes add anything to the dish – and what about the vexed question of beans? And what do you serve it with: rice, tortillas, or a big plate of chips?

Fake American Mexican restaurant food is pretty good, though usually would be better if tomatoes and chunky salsa were available to add, like on my fake American homemade tacos.

Obviously both of those things, the tomatoes and the beans, are big no-nos :P

But generally I like that recipe, it sure keeps the focus on the chilis.

I generally serve mine with cheddar cheese, crackers, and pickles because I just think they taste really good with chili.

I think the margarita is pretty much a bonafide Mexican cocktail, even if it isn't hugely popular there, as long as it isn't the frozen slushy variety. 

Still, the consummate Mexican mixed drink is the paloma -- a highball made of tequila and Squirt (grapefruit/citrus soda that can be simulated excellently by Polar Half-and-Half for those of us lucky enough to live in the distribution radius of Polar products from the home base in Worcester, Mass.) with a squeeze of lime, very much worth trying and IME more enjoyable than the very fine margarita.

Best of all is mixing up a small glass of sangrita (tomato juice, orange juice, lime juice) to back up a straight tequila. :yum:

I award you one honorary Texan point.
The last time I made real chili I used a recipe a guy who lives in Whitehouse, TX gave me.  It's somewhat like yours, but he uses Tony's in his seasoning mix, as well as a hell of a lot more cumin.

When I don't bring leftovers, I get a chicken salad wrap with lettuce, tomato and cheddar cheese for lunch. Today I felt adventurous and had it with swiss cheese instead.

Really living wild today, I asked for both cheddar and swiss cheese.  :w00t:

I was given a bunch of frozen Puerto Rican pasteles, which I'd never had before, and I ate them over the course of this weekend.  Ignore the cake-alluding name, they are similar I guess to tamales, except I think plantain meal is used as the flour instead of corn, and it's boiled after being wrapped in a banana leaf and tied with string.  These had chicken among other fillings, and were fantastic. :mmm:  A highly recommended choice if you find yourself at a Puerto Rican restaurant or at a big PR gathering with lots of home cooking.

No, nobody around here eats herring and it's impossible to get fresh (only canned).  The next type of fish I'd probably try to smoke is trout.

Last night I got another salmon filet, cut it up, and dry cured it with dark brown sugar, salt, and black pepper all night in the fridge.  The cure sucked all of the moisture out of the fish and basically turned it into gravlax.  I then let it air dry for four hours and am now hot smoking it over cherry wood. :cool:

Nah, not really.  Here's what I had to eat yesterday:

Breakfast - bacon, egg, and cheese tortilla

Lunch - burger, fries, and derby pie*

Dinner - fettuccine pesto with a hefeweizen

*I had lunch at a semi-famous old country store called Carriss's Grocery.  The pie wasn't actual derby pie I don't think, because it didn't seem to have pecans in it.  Princesca swore there was peanut butter in it but I didn't taste any.

I'm not a huge hot brown fan, but I've eaten them plenty of times I guess.  I do like mint juleps but didn't make one yesterday.

I find placing some of the stuff weird - e.g. a döner kebab could also be with chicken, and a Schnitzelsemmel is more likely to be a chicken or pork schnitzel than a veal schnitzel.

Memories of Patagonia Malbec wine marinade
Bake Love Coo! butter cookies
Dona Magdalena dulce de leche
Moa Gourmet green olive paste
Chamana and Inti Zen teas
Dulcor dulce de membrillo

I obviously know what chimichurri and dulce de leche are, but never heard of membrillo before.  I googled it and I guess it's made from quinces?

The thing also came with a recipe for some cookies called alfajores that apparently are made with cornmeal and spread with dulce de leche. :hmm:

I know it' an old post I'm replying to, but...

When I was in Whitehorse, at one point we had 3-4 Quebecker lawyers working in the office.  One day they're all excited: the Association Franco-Yukonnais was putting on a poutine night, complete with cheese curds flown in from Quebec.  They insisted I had to come with them to have poutine when I admitted I'd never had it.

So here I am with all these Quebeckers and I try my first ever "authentic" poutine... and what can I say.  It's French fries with gravy and cheese.  It's not a bad dish by any means, but it tasted exactly like I expected it to.

But maybe because it reminded me a fair bit of the bit of Ukrainian home cooking I'd get from time to time at home.  Very simple, stick-to-the-ribs kind of stuff, but very comforting.

The Christian pop music they played in there plus all of the Bible quotes all over the packaging was a bit irritating though.

Also, some assclown was open carrying in the place while we were there.  I always think that's a super douchey thing to do, and he kept patting his gun the whole time.  I'm pretty sure he just got it and was strutting around with it like some gay compensating peacock.

How is the Big Green Egg?  I've wanted one for years and my wife is receptive.  She'd like to do pizza in it, which it's certainly hot enough to do and you probably need a bigger one to do proper.  Anyways appreciate your review of it as they ain't cheap.

I was eating leftover jambalaya today and discussing with my wife how EVERYTHING I've cooked in that thing has turned out awesome... not a single bad meal from it.

You can definitely do pizza and in fact, one of my Christmas presents was a pizza stone sized for the large BGE.  Will probably try a pizza within a month or so.  The BGE can easily be taken to and beyond 1000 degrees, yeah.  I've gotten mine as high as 800 for searing steaks.  One thing: the gaskets that the eggs ship with aren't really designed to withstand temps that high so you'll quickly burn them down if you do a lot of high temp cooking (or so I've heard).  Most people that do lots of pizzas either have multiple eggs, and that egg is gasket-less--gasket isn't so important with that kind of high temp cook--or they have gotten aftermarket Nomex gaskets.

A nuttier taste than the original, not so sweet, a little less smooth and a lot more expensive. Standard jar of Nutella is 39DKK and this had about 80DKK worth of ingredients for an equivalent amount, but it's organic and fair trade. :w00t: :greenzo:

Hey - on the weekend I had the three boys, plus a friend of theirs.

In order to get them (and me) out of the house I took them to McDonalds. Happy meals for everyone!

Except... this McDonalds has recently installed this new "Create your taste" kiosks, so I decided to try that.  You want up to this enormous touchscreen - it had to be 30" long.  And then you go ahead and special order your burger.  I went ahead and created some concoction with 2 patties, grilled onions, monterey jack cheese, lettuce and mustard.  Once you enter your order you pick up a little doohickey and sit down.

Then a few minutes later a server comes and brings you your food.  Yup.  Table service at McDonalds. :wacko:

The burger comes out on what is meant to look like a wooden cutting board, but is really just plastic.  If I'd ordered fries they'd have come in a little metal basket (I just ate some fries from the boys Happy Meals).

How was it?  Honestly it was pretty good.  Definitely a step up from typical McDonalds.  But it was also a $10 burger.  If you want a premium burger I'm not sure if you're better off going to McDonalds, or some other chain.

And also, I didn't see a lot of other people getting their food brought out (though that might have been because we were sitting next to the kids play structure).  I'm unconvinced this is going to be a hit for McDonalds.  It feels more like McPizza - which I remember liking at the time, but apparently was a disaster for the chain.


So there you go.  McDonalds Create Your Taste - I ate it so you don't have to.

Had some epic Shrimp Scampi yesterday, best Italian I've ever had in Korea.

But what I really want to be eating is this, looks so fucking good.

Seems like you have a method of making that yourself pretty easily. :huh:

Don't have an oven or a waffle iron.

There's a lot of great stuff to choose from. I like it because it's spicy. Unless I can almost kill myself with chilies, it's not really worth it.

The beef and noodle soup is worth trying on a cold winter day. Very hearty.

Easter is the time for eating lamb here, but I am sort of vary of lamb. It's not really that good, unless you tenderise and put a lot of effort into it. So I had baked cod with pomegranate and herbs instead. And boiled then roasted barley with spinach.

Boy does it feel good to eat a ||pastrami on rye|| sandwich after so long.  With plenty of brown mustard and onions. :mmm:

Mediocre store-brand West Coast pastrami, of course, but it really doesn't matter.  Plus the good black rye bread and quality mustard offset it.

Just need to decide whether to wash it down with some ||seltzer water|| or the half-liter can of König Pilsener I have lying around. :hmm:

Bits and ends of (((Nova Lox))) with cream cheese, Philadelphia brand as (((Temp-Tee))) doesn't seem available out here, on toasted rye bread with sliced onions (alas, no capers laying around).  A quite delicious, and probably lower-cal substitute, where the bagels suck, as they do in the PNW.

Plus pickled asparagus and radishes on the sisde -- I am really going crazy for radishes these days :mmm: they just hit the spot and serve as an excellent vehicle for saot-- washed down with a fresh 2L bottle of (((seltzer water))).

Was talking with a colleague the other day about ice cream (he doesn't care for it...I consider myself a connoisseur).  He said that sometimes though, he would have just plain vanilla and mix in some regular peanut butter with it.  Intrigued, I tried this myself...some Tillamook Vanilla and JIF Extra-Crunchy.

It has changed my life.  :)

I was at the Italian grocery store on the weekend to buy supplies for home-made pizza (very good, as always).

On a whim, I saw a bag of local artisanal beet chips, named "Droppin Mad Beets" :frusty:

But still, I love me some beets, so I thought I would give them a try.

They were... not good. :x :(

DQ's food is complete crap now, yeah.  The only thing that remains halfway decent are the chicken strip baskets.  They used to have chicken fried steak baskets, but I think you can only get those in Texas Dairy Queens now.

Meat. Cook meat with it. Lots of high-end joints are using them to make perfect steaks. Once you get it out of the water flash it on a fire real quick or a castiron skillet to sear it and that's it.

T'other day I hit a hole in the wall Indian joint in Coralville.  Usually I order Lamb Vindaloo medium because I don't want to look like a putz when I can't handle it.  This time I said damn the torpedoes, crank it up to 11. Pretty damn spicy, but one notch below actual pain.

Wasn't impressed with Smashburger (about the same as Five Guys, actually), but I'd take Shake Shack over either one any day. Both Five Guys and Smashburger were just tiny, flavorless burgers that were actually dripping with grease. Oh, and Five Guys' fries are DEFINITELY not worth the hype.

http://www.seriouseats.com/2016/07/whats-really-in-american-cheese.html

QuoteLet's get one thing straight. When I say American cheese, I am referring specifically to process American cheese. The kind that comes either in individual slices from the refrigerated dairy case or sliced off of a rectangular block at the deli counter. There are many incredible cheeses produced in America—some of the finest in the world, like Humboldt Fog, Moses Sleeper, and Bent River. They may be great cheeses that are American, but they are not "American cheese."

Let's get another thing straight. All cheese is processed. All of it. It is a man-made product that does not exist in nature. Even the simplest cheese, like halloumi, is made by treating milk (whether from a cow, a sheep, a goat, or even a human) with rennet (an enzyme typically taken from the stomach lining of an unweaned calf, or, increasingly, vegetable-based enzymes with similar properties), draining the resulting curds, and pressing them together. More complex cheeses go through further steps of processing. Mozzarella and queso Oaxaca are kneaded and stretched, for instance. Gruyère and Comté are washed with a bacteria-infested brine called morge.

Most cheeses are inoculated with bacteria and allowed to ferment and age, during which time they develop flavor and rinds and lose moisture.

Heating, curdling, pressing, inoculating, aging...those are all processes.

Where American cheese (or "Pasteurized Process American Cheese," as the FDA likes to call it*) differs is that once the cheese is made (and yes, American cheese starts with real, honest-to-goodness cheese), it is blended with a few other ingredients to alter its texture and flavor. The exact details of these subsequent processes are what determines the labeling on the package, and those can be as simple as blending it with another cheese or as complex as melting it with additional whey, milk proteins, and emulsifying salts. This is what allows American cheese to melt without breaking or turning greasy the way a traditional cheese does. (You can read more about the science of melting cheese in this excerpt from my book.)

* Oddly, one of the USDA stipulations for process American cheese destined for use in government programs is that none of the ingredients shall have previously been property of the government, meaning that the phrase "government cheese" does not actually apply to government cheese...until it becomes government cheese.

The process itself was invented in Switzerland, in an effort to reduce cheese waste; scraps from various batches of cheese could be melted together and formed into a new, delicious product. In 1916, Canadian-American entrepreneur and cheese salesman James Kraft perfected the technique in the US, patented it, and started selling the very first process American cheese. It soon became immensely popular due to its long shelf life and easy shipping.

Cheese products have since proliferated into the vast diaspora that populates the refrigerated cases of your supermarket, and labeling laws do only a cursory job of keeping them all in order. Here's what you might see.

I agree, generally. American cheese is perfect for the texture of a burger. Its also so bland that it doesn't interfere with the flavour of the meat which is surely the most important thing in a decent burger.

Yeah, that soured me right off the bat. The fact that it's pricier than the most expensive megachain burger but only about equivalent to a BK Whopper or a McDonald's Quarter Pounder? Pass.

Red Robin isn't really a fair comparison, since it's a burger chain, but not a fast food burger chain. And hey, neither McDonald's nor Burger King gave me a free burger for my birthday, let alone a MOTHERFUCKING BURGER TOPPED WITH CHILI.

So what exactly is the difference between American cheese and cheddar cheese?

Cheddar cheese goes through a process called "Cheddaring" which American cheese does not.  Wikipedia explains it far better than I could:

Quote"Cheddaring" refers to an additional step in the production of Cheddar cheese where, after heating, the curd is kneaded with salt, cut into cubes to drain the whey, and then stacked and turned. Strong, extra-mature Cheddar, sometimes called vintage, needs to be matured for up to 15 months. The cheese is kept at a constant temperature, often requiring special facilities. As with other hard cheese varieties produced worldwide, caves provide an ideal environment for maturing cheese; still, today, some Cheddar cheese is matured in the caves at Wookey Hole and Cheddar Gorge. Additionally, some versions of Cheddar cheese are smoked.

Catfish is generally one of my least favorite fishes.  It's got kind of a gamey, sewagey, bottom-feeder flavor to it, and it's pretty tough for a fish, like they get locked up in rigor mortis when they're hooked.  People around here eat shitloads of it.

One of my uncles invited my dad and me over for a catfish fry, and I was expecting the usual.  But this was really good.  No sewage taste, and super tender.  I asked him how he does it and he says you soak it in buttermilk.  That's catfish I would be happy to eat any time.

Hosting a lunch. Missus has marinated a big lump of beef in some complex chilli sauce. I'm on egg fried rice duty. There's some kale and mushroom concoction going on too.

Struggled to think of an appropriate wine match to stand up to the chilli but would also work with the beef. Ended up choosing a 2010 paullic,50/50 Merlot and cab. Not sure it will work tho.

Cheers: not as bad as you would expect from something named a "naked egg taco" from Taco Bell; decent amount of hash brown wedges, cheese and bacon/sausage inside

Just saw this.  You're full of shit.

I'm not talking about Whoppers and Quarter Pounders.

You are positing that:
1) Five Guys isn't that expensive.
2) Maybe a buck or two more than the priciest selection at BK or McDonald's.
3) Of which you're not talking about Whoppers and Quarter Pounders.

All this makes you:
1) full of shit.
2) Talking out of your ass.

Yeah, Five Guys is fairly pricey (unless one is used to NYC prices) - particularly so in London.

Actually, I've realised relative to £ and London prices, things don't seem to incredibly expensive here in Denmark.

Firs ever Philly cheese steak, at a big street food market in Brooklyn. It was decent enough. Could have done with gherkins to cut through the richness.

We've eaten well in NYC despite how expensive this city is. Some superb pasta in particular. Must be a good 40 per cent more expensive than London and only a bit of that is the exchange rate.

Had a business dinner at a Korean restaurant, which is the first time I've eaten at one although I've had Korean food before.

I did try the following items for the first time:

soju - tastes like weak vodka.  I don't get the appeal.
sujeonggwa (persimmon punch) - now this was delicious, and I kept spiking it with the soju, which made a nice cocktail.
kimchi fried rice with egg and mozzarella - delicious.  I've had kimchi before and had some straight at dinner, but this stuff was awesome.
some kind of cold soup with noodles - weird.  couldn't eat the noodles with chopsticks.  The soup was so cold it had ice in it. :huh:

The place also had excellent bulgogi, but I've had that plenty of times before.

Homemade Vegan pancakes...I think I finally perfected my recipe (pro tip:  chocolate chips make any sub-par pancake batter easily edible).

- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp (each) baking powder/soda
- 2 (to 3) tbs sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk + 2 tsp key lime(or lemon) juice.  (this creates a "buttermilk effect", and some extra raise/flufiness)
- 1 vegan egg equivalent (I use a store-bought product that is essentially crushed chia seeds/garbonzo beans)
- 1 tsp vegetable oil

Yep, they are and they've been making a comeback lately.  Yum! (KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut) acquired them a while back and virtually destroyed the chain, which is something Yum! is excellent at.  But a few years back they spun it off into an independent company at the same time they spun A&W off.

CAL'S AAR OF THE NEW LONG JOHN SILVER'S

Ok, so I went there last night because my fiancee and her friend had a GNO.  I ordered two fish tacos and fries.  Basically what I got was two folded tortillas with a hunk of fish and chips fish in each, topped with cole slaw and some sort of creamy hot sauce.  It was... odd.  Not at all what I was expecting.

Also, LJS is now trying to do service more like Chik-Fil-A where they bring your food out to you and keep bugging you while you're eating, asking if you want refills or need anything else or if you want them to throw your trash away for you.  I don't like that because it forces the folks to act like a waiter, yet they are making horrible fast food wages and not getting tips.  It makes me very uncomfortable... I mean, if I wanted that sort of service why would I go to a fast food place?  Also, the lady who kept bugging me smelled like an ash tray. :yuk:

Anyway.... I'd probably go back. :)

Out of convenience/laziness (and because I think they're really tasty), I've been eating lots of ready-made pasties/slices/pies recently .  I also tried some dandelion & burdock soda this weekend.  And my favorite, go-to readymade sandwich is the ploughman.

Missed this when you posted it originally. I eat the SHIT out of burnt ends.  There's a BBQ place near me that has them as their specialty, when you can get them (since supplies are so limited), but every time I go I ask if they have them and if the answer is yes, that's what I'm getting.

IMO burnt ends is literally the best barbecue cut/prep that there is.

Apparently the English do.  The closest taste I could compare it with is Dr Pepper...though it was a cheap diet version from ASDA.  I should probably try a proper quality brand.

At my office after court, need something to eat.  Our cafeteria is still kind-of running.  I decide to get a pre-packaged sandwich.  I spot a bagel and egg salad sandwich.  I think 'that sounds yummy - I haven't had an egg salad in forever'.

What a disappointing sandwich.  Turns out egg salad is a poor sandwich filling for a bagel.  It's dense, so it requires a little more force to eat.  But apply force to an egg salad sandwich means immediately half the salad squirted out the sides.

Then, I'm not quite sure what kind of bagel that was (closer inspection - cinnamon and raisin), but it had a sweet taste profile that went horribly with the egg salad.  Yuck.

I'm actually mad - that's how bad that sandwich was.

So my wife decided to join that quarantine trend sweeping the nation - baking bread!  She made two loaves yesterday.  Just a simple white bread.  And for my lunch she made me two sandwiches.

:hmm:

Gotta master that crumb!  Try making the dough the night before and leaving in fridge over night, take out the next day and let it rise back to room temperature and then bake.  When preheating the oven add a small cake pan with water in it, steam will help that even that density out into a fuller rise.

Dominos has been operating in Vienna for a few years now, and today I took the plunge.

I ordered a large pepperoni pizza with double cheese.

Pro:
- they update your order with each step of their process (other services just show three statuses: received order, preparing food, delivery on the way)
- they were here within 25 minutes; other deliveries can take 45-600 minutes, regardless of distance - though there are some services, like poke bowls, or Chinese, that tend to be fast

Con:
- no GPS tracking on map of where the delivery is
- price - the pizza was all right, but at €16 I can get much better from proper ristorantes here in Vienna.

Will probably not order often unless I have a strong craving for an approximation of a US style pepperoni pizza.

Having lived in NYC all my life, it shocks me that Dominos is regarded as the US style pizza.  Then again, I don't know to what extent NYC with its local pizzerias is the exception rather than the rule.  To me, the difference between a big chain pizza and a local pizzeria pizza is like the difference between canned corned beef and medium-rare filet mignon.

A lot of cheaper pizza places here offer "American" pizza (which just means making the crust double thick). There's a few places here that make proper napoletan pizza and it's just amazing (better to eat at the restaurant, they're best fresh from the hot stone where they bake for like 2 minutes max).

Lots of local pizza-joints here, and they make some good pies.  Wood fired, oven, weird Santa Cruz toppings (no, none from the dispensary yet).

However, it is the Central Coast of California, so pizza costs about a million dollars.

I love making home-made pizza.  :mmm:

But that tends to be a more involved weekend meal at our house.  Not that I love Pappa John's, but there's an outlet just a 2 minute drive away from our house, so it's a go-to when we need food fast mid-week.  It's nowhere near as good as home-made, but sometimes you just need food fast.

Peruvian chicken joints are popping up all over the place now.  My brother got one in Richmond like five years ago and that was the first I'd heard of it, and now we have at least 3 that I know of here in Louisville.

I went to a Peruvian restaurant in Chicago maybe five years ago as well, and don't recall having chicken but had all kinds of other neat stuff, like cow heart kebab.  Oh, and I discovered Pisco Sours there and drank like six of them that night. :lol:

Last week of holidays.  I enjoy cooking, but hardly ever get a chance to cook something new.  So today I was like "screw it" - forget pleasing the kids or wife, I'm going to cook something I want to cook.

I went Indian - chana masala - a chickpea curry (it was: vegetarian! :o).

So of course I had to get a whole pile of spices I didn't have.  But this is Canada in 2021 so that wasn't a problem (even getting the amchoor, which the recipe I followed said was hard to find).  But I went to the large grocery store I don't usually go to.  I went to the spice section, and couldn't find most of them.  Then I realized I had to go to the "international spice" section. :huh:



The meal itself took a lot longer than I had thought, even with the Instant Pot.  But it was definitely a success.  The boys (who are getting better but can still be picky) all said it was either "good" or "really good" and ate it up.

So now I have a pile of Indian spices (and I mean a pile - a couple of them I could only buy in like a 1 lb bag).  So now I think I need to make some other Indian dishes...

It's pretty damn cold in Edmonton right now, and we had a weekend full of (what else) hockey.

So when it came time for supper I had a hankering for some good ole chicken soup.  So just using some homemade turkey broth from Thanksgiving I tossed in some carrots, celery, leftover chicken and some wild rice, and boom there you go.  I thought it was amazing.

I think my kid complimented me when he said it tasted like chicken-flavoured instant noodles? :unsure:

I dunno - the few time's I've had Popeye's it is noticeably much more spicy than typical fast-food "spicy".

Maybe it's because the only thing I've gotten is their Spicy Chicken sandwich - I don't know if just the regular fried chicken by itself is all that spicy.

It's take away pizza. Not a specially arranged meal. The whole point is something fast and Meh.

The really good places usually require ordering days in advance.
With reviews and such it's easy enough to avoid the terrible ones but the hundreds on 4.something tend to blend into much of a muchness. Even with hours to research identifying the best from there would be tough.

So I'm watching this lightweight British rom-com, dinner is served and the starter is various types of ham.  All thin sliced (and cold I imagine).

Made me wonder if Yuros ever eat thicker, cooked/heated up ham as an entree.

Found a chocolate bar in a kitchen cupboard, good tasting 70%; after I finished it a few days later, looked on the packet and discovered it was cooks chocolate. :gasp:


Oh and I also noticed the best before date was Sept 2017!, but tasted fine to me.  :blush:

The mother of one of the people I work with gave me some home made dried pork belly.  I was instructed to place it over rice in our rice cooker - easy and oh so delicious.  I am not sure exactly what spicing she used, apparently it changes a bit from year to year.

Mrs B had training downtown this last week.  She called me up and said we should go for lunch.

My office is literally next door to Edmonton's Chinatown, so that's where I suggested we go.  Wound up going for Vietnamese food.

I love Vietnamese food.  It's this weird mix of being 90%+ asian, but with these French and American influences on top of it.  Like Vietnamese iced coffee.  First of all it's one of the only places in Asia that has adopted coffee, but also used condensed milk.

Anyways, I ordered salad rolls, but wound up taking most of them home, and gave them to my kids.  They really enjoyed them, and they can be picky eaters.

I was at McDonald's and had a McPlant with a Beyond Meat patty. Not bad. Or at least not worse than the other stuff they sell.

Ordered a cheesesteak sandwich from a place called Philly.

Went with provolone cheese and extra chili peppers.

It was all right. I have no frame of reference re: the Philadelphia original, though.

It looks pretty authentic.  Provolone, American, or Cheez Wiz are the only acceptable cheeses, so it got that right.  No chili peppers.  The only toppings other than cheese should be grilled onions and/or chopped bell peppers, but definitely not any sort of hot pepper.

Post by: Syt on April 23, 2023, 01:15:25 AM
Well, it came with caramelized onions. Cheese choices were cheddar, provolone, mozzarella, but that's mostly because "American" and "Cheez Wiz" are not a thing over here and the latter would probably gross people out. :P I also got fries with cheese sauce from them - the cheese sauce was one of the better I've had here, though unable to tell what the basis was.

I looked it up on wiki, man sounds like you're more than right:
QuoteDean Southworth, who was part of the original team that developed Cheez Whiz in the 1950s, described a jar he sampled in 2001 as tasting "like axle grease".[5]

Swiss is considered unacceptable in Philadelphia.  In fact, John Kerry had a minor faux pas when he was running for Prez and visited Philly on a campaign stop and asked for swiss on his cheesesteak.

I'd say it's akin to going to Chicago and asking for ketchup on your hot dog.

Any gringos have a Cheddar's where they live?  Might be an Iowa only chain, might be regional.  Good food super cheap.  I had salmon for 16 bucks.  And at least the one here has hott staff.

We have Cheddar's here in Florida.  I haven't been there since before Covid, but the food was quite affordable, (at least back in those days.)  I don't remember the staff being all that hott, though.

I have one right by the house and I get takeout from it all the time, like probably at least three times a month.... and yes I have noticed that the one by me seems to like to hire hot young chicks. :hmm:

Been cooking a lot lately and wanted to shout out a few cookbooks that have helped me get into it again.

Six Seasons by Joshua MacFadden which is not vegetarian but (seasonal) veg focused. It's outstanding - one of the best cookbooks I've bought in years and one I use most weeks.

Also Tim Anderson's Japanese cookbooks - I find him quite annoying (as someone who remembers him on Masterchef) but his restaurants are decent and these two, Japaneasy and Vegan Japaneasy are actually really good. Needed to get a few more staple ingredients but so far all the recipes work.

And I'd had a couple of duds from Madhur Jaffrey's Curry Easy (probably my fault) so kind of wrote it off. But done a few recently and they worked really well. So definitely putting those duds down to me fucking up :lol:

Here in Florida we can get hog jowls at the grocery store all through the year.  Strangely they've become cheaper than pork belly of late, so I made my own guanciale.  (Okay, I smoked it, so it's really jowl bacon, but you sound way more sophisticated if you call it guanciale, especially if you use italics.)  I used my go to bacon cure, that made them too salty.  Hog jowls don't have the fat content that belly does so the cure doesn't leech out as much moisture and the salt congregates on the surface.  It's still edible, but next time I'll use half the salt and just a pinch of the curing salt.

Mrs B is out of town for my oldest son's hockey game.

I made the remaining kids for lunch - the Elvis sandwich.  A fried peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich.  Apparently the King's favourite sandwich, and one he ate all the time.

It actually really works.  It wasn't maybe the best sandwich of all time or anything, but it was quite tasty.

Now I have to figure out what to make for supper...
