The Food Thread

Talk about music, movies, TV, books, other types of entertainment and what your vices are. Also, if you're addicted to the high you get off Aspirin, this is the place to talk about it.

Is the concept clear enough by now? :P
You forgot the "having sex with a meat grinder" part.

I do not value MEGA ICE CREAM or any other delecacy, because I know I will be puking it out if I had to eat it every day. I also like pizza, nicely baked ham and many many other types of foods, but minced meat is the kind I could eat every day of my life with a big fat smile on my face.

I'm weird, I know that. I also like to fuck with you, so don't take my shit too seriously, mang. No one does.
Ah, I can't bring myself to think like that. It's just not fun enough. I really really like to cook good meals, and I really enjoy good food. Thus I like to use fancier stuff, I guess. I buy the real Helmann's mayonnaise, not Kraft's shitty salad sauce :salute: Of course I'm not spending hundred of dollars on a single meal in a restaurant, but the price isn't really a criteria when I choose what I'm gonna eat. Though like I said there are some limits.

I still enjoy a hundred dollars supper in a fancy restaurant once in a year :D

Are you guys good cooks? Restaurants may be good but you can't live on them all year...

As for me... Michelina's is my best friend. Frozen food is for me! But soon, I'm gonna learn to make real food, I'll have the time.

I cook on weekends, this week I'll do some burritos. With minced meat, of course.

It's actually cheaper to eat at school. It only costs €2 and aint that bad grub either.

meat cut in very very small pieces, through a meat grinder and stuff, usually spices and greese added on top of it as well, no bone - just meat
That picture looks like you could just put it between hamburger buns.
Sloppy Joes!
I prefer to make the buns into garlic toast (not too crispy) first.
Then add mushrooms and sliced olives and peppers.
Not bad.

My favorite is "Dinner Salads": Just everything in a salad, with
marinaded meat strips added. And garlic croutons.

Ramen with Spam for breakfast.

Fruit Soup for lunch. Sort of like fruit coctail, except eaten like
a bowl of cereal with orange juice instead of milk.
(Or milk and OJ with a drop of vanilla extract.)

I'm sort of a good cook. I'm good at following recipes, anyway (most notably with weed brownies -- but no matter, I can make pretty good non-inebriating stuff as well).

Susan says he's a really good cook.
suppose you're thinking about a plate of shrimp. suddenly somebody will say like 'plate' or 'shrimp' or 'plate of shrimp', out of the blue, no explanation.

I do soups, pots, stews and grills, never follow any recipes ( that's cheating, you gotta know how to do something by heart to get it properly done ).

Well, I've learnt to cook food either by following a recipe or from a person, but after the first time you can do it yourself and make some improvements.

How could you feel at all awful when you've experienced the rare buzz of directly contributing to the obliteration of an endangered species ?

The mind boggles.

did you just use a Polish word or is this also in English? Anyhow making kisiel (I'm using the Polish word) is not really complicated.

I just adore beef loin or veal loin, quickly fried on olive oil, still juicy - almost bloddy (or a little bloody indeed) :yum: And yea I can make it myself.
I'm fucking crazy about a few Polish soups you guys unfortunatelly wouldn't know :(
I also really like Italian and Mexican foods, although I don't really know many dishes from either.

I totally detest the abominable ersatz that goes by the name of "sausage" and looks like pinky foamy/rubbery artificial cylinders.
To my disgust, I bought a couple of these next to the stairs of the Metrop. Museum of Art (each in a bun - also made of foam) and they were called (!) "Polish sausage" for fuck's sake :no: (FYI, Polish sausage should look more or less like this and not like this -theu have separate names)

Kind off. The thing is that I really love to cook.

Also, I can't follow recipes. I have to change them, always. Of course I'll keep the basic elements(like corn stash in a cake) but I just can't help it, I always change the amount of spices and pretty much everything else in sauces and chit.

Also, I like improvisation; I take a look at what's in the fridge and create a recipe.

Yeah that's real cooking, right there. Not painting outside of the lines in a coloring book does not make you a painter, more likely a moron.

Anyways, what's kiesel?
