Food Thread: Do Not Mess With My Steak! And...Fried Popcorn...Is That A Thing?Here's the thing. Fried food is good. Really good. And notice I didn't say, "fried oysters," or "fried potatoes," or "fried rutabaga chips." I mean fried food as a category tastes damned fine. Hot, salty, greasy and crunchy is a foursome that is hard to resist. When was the last time you had something fried and thought, "Damn, I wish they had boiled this." Yeah, and that's why diets that deny us satisfying foods are doomed to fail. I was eating at a restaurant (at the bar!) last night and was told about the special appetizer: fried artichokes. Now, my bet was that they were out of a can, but I also knew from previous delightful experience that their fry cooks are professionals, so...what the hell! And there was much rejoicing in DildoLand! So...what fried foods are bad? And don't throw fried Oreos at me, because I think they are pretty awesome. Two weeks ago commenter Moki asked a good question that morphed into a bit of a challenge: create a celebratory menu for eight people that is reasonably priced. And what are the rules? Well, it could get very complicated, but for our purposes how about assuming a typical pantry; no fancy and weird herbs and spices and try to take into account all of the costs: that bag of semisweet chocolate chips wasn't free, so the cookies should take that cost into account. Oh...and try to avoid slow-cookers and air fryers and such; many people have them, but many people don't. Appetizer. Try to keep the cost at $50-$80. Winner (judged by Moki and me) will receive a copy of the world famous cookbook, b>The Deplorable Gourmet. And there is no second place. Send the entries to cbd dot aoshq at gee mail dot com. Last day to submit is November 4th. I am not enamored of extremely sweet and sticky and gooey desserts. I like a little bite of bitterness from dark chocolate, and I prefer the toasted flavors of dark caramel to the sweeter flavors of marshmallow and such. But this does look good, especially since the chef has a fine sense of humor and understands that not all of us are trained, and cook in great kitchens. Mom's Mississippi Mud Cake seems to be a keeper, at least for one mighty try! Before you say, "WHAT? That shit is disgusting...get it off my computer! Just read the recipe. It does look intriguing. Steak with anchovy and caper butter. But not enough to try. Sorry, but steak needs to be treated with respect. I'll adulterate it, but carefully. A squirt of lemon and a dash of excellent olive oil? Yes! The Italians know what they are doing. But this is a Brit magazine, and my recent experience with their cuisine (and I have been there a lot in the last few years) is that they do not know how to cook a steak. Wow. This guy takes his herbs and spices seriously! Hi, CBD - this is "crisis du jour." I like his cooking style and I like the recipes he makes and I really like his humor. Too many of these sorts of videos are completely devoid of humor and mistakes. If the text looks a bit oily it's because I made a big batch of popcorn for those in the house who are not slaving over a hot keyboard providing content for you maniacs. And strangely, a bowl of it appeared on my desk. And I proceeded to shovel it into my mouth as fast as I could. Am I the only one around here who has exactly zero self control around a bowl of popcorn? Food and cooking tips, Large-breasted Muscovy ducks, young wild pigs, bartenders who use vermouth in Martinis (but not too much), pork belly that doesn't have 5-spice, low-temperature-roast chicken, and good tomatoes that aren't square, pale pink and covered with Mestizo E.coli: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com. Any advocacy of French Toast with syrup will result in disciplinary action up to and including being nuked from orbit. And yes, shaking a Manhattan is blasphemy...it's in the Bible! | Recent Comments
