Food Thread

[Seahawk]

Post food. If you eat it and you like it, you post it. Post/share/discuss recipes, debate how *insert regional local food A* is better than *insert regional local food B*, whatever.

Basic start off: cheesy pasta I'm eating as I type this.

[Dudebro]

I really like homemade shepards pie
http://www.retrouprising.com/img/2013_01/1783.jpg

It's one of those foods I have to force myself to stop eating.


How about foods we wanna try? I really wanna check out some poutine
http://www.retrouprising.com/img/2013_01/1782.jpg

That looks like it was made in the US of A. Are we sure it's Canadian?

[Slime Slayer]

I don't know where it originates from, but I know that you can get it at virtually any restaurant in Canada.

I made some pretty kick butt sausages last night, I didn't take a picture though.

And for the record, poutine is over-rated. It's kinda like ordering a club-sandwich, you can get it from 10 different places, and they will all taste the same, just kinda falls into this category of generic. There are some exceptions of course, sometimes you'll find a poutine that stands above the rest. Oddly enough one of my favorite poutins is A and W's.

Oh and if givin the choice, pick chicken gravy over beef, always way better imo.

[Kugyince]

Dogs, New Yorkers know how it's done. This was my lunch.

[FudgyDRS]

I just had a chorizo & egg burrito, chips and salsa, and a soda. I mainly just see jalapenos and a varity of habanero peppers around here.

Anyone heard of a Frito Pie? They are pretty popular in Texas but I've never heard of them anywhere else.

http://www.retrouprising.com/img/2013_04/2096.jpg

Basically it is a taco salad but you replace the taco shell with frito chips and you replace the meat with chilli.

You must not watch King of the Hill. That show put it on the map, you can find all kinds of Peggy Hill frito pie recipes online.

http://www.retrouprising.com/img/2013_04/2097.png

Pic kinda related.

[FudgyDRS]

It's the same thing as a frito boat which is very common, especially at sports events; this is because it's cheap and filling.

They are selling the Frito bag one now at US Cellular Field here in Chicago. They call it a "Walking Taco".

[Tails]

Yeah heard of walking taco (however didn't know the frito pie name) if I remember they even served it at my middle school. I want one now. :(

[SMASH]

Frito Pie is off the chain. I almost cannot eat chilli now without fritos.

[FudgyDRS]

My bacon and jiffy egg (often called eggs in a blanket) from this morning.

[Kugyince]

Tonight's dinner was a steak sandwich and some macaroni salad.

http://www.retrouprising.com/img/2013_04/2098.jpg

[Dudebro]

Did you forget to cook the steak?

[Kugyince]

Did you forget to cook the steak?

You're not one of the freaks who thinks red beef "isn't cooked" are you? Any beef cooked past medium rare is just ruined, science teaches us so.

In 2004 the University of Nottingham proved that the bacteria that cause food poisoning were not present in steaks cooked rare providing they were cooked with clean, sterile equipment

the more the steak is cooked the less juices there are in it. The less juices there are the less taste there is. Once your steak has been fried for a short time (at the point it reaches blue rare or rare) the juices are sealed into steak. From this point onward the heat is forcing those lovely juices out of the steak. People are often put off that a rare steak contains lots of blood. This is a fallacy: a good quality steak shouldn’t bleed much (if at all) either.

Why you should have your steak rare « Tim Bennett's Blog (http://www.drquincy.com/blog/why-you-should-have-your-steak-rare/)

[Dudebro]

Yeah we've had this exchange before I was being cheeky with you.

[CrispyChicken]

That frito pie actually looks really good. Gotta try it one time. Haven't heard of it until now.

[FudgyDRS]

I like my meat medium rare, hot in the center but still juicy rare.

[Kugyince]

Tried the new mexican joint that opened up nearby. Was really unimpressed, my beef burrito was really bland.

Is that brocolli on a pizza

[Seahawk]

You should know that Ten is very proud of NY pizza.

[Kugyince]

What third world country do you hail from to not know a garlic white broccoli pizza when you see one?

[Barra]

Lol. Looks good apart from the brocolli

[FudgyDRS]

I get my pizza from here (http://www.valentinospizza.net/mb_menu.html) with: pepperoni, sausage, candian bacon, mushrooms, garlic, and jalapenos. I also really like their spumoni and cannolis.

[Dudebro]

Broccoli pizza(and calzones) are awesome.

[Kugyince]

Meatloaf seasoned with hot sauce and whipped taters.
http://www.retrouprising.com/img/2013_04/2109.jpg

[Seahawk]

Wow Ten you get a lot of food variety.

[FudgyDRS]

I don't care for meatloaf, maybe I take a picture of my next meal.

[Kugyince]

Chicken Tacos. Yum...http://www.retrouprising.com/img/2013_04/2129.jpg

[Barra]

Ok now THAT looks good

[Dudebro]

Where's the chicken?

[Slime Slayer]

I had tacos for supper today too, soft shell with beef.

[FudgyDRS]

I had a Cheesecake Factory sandwich.

[Slime Slayer]

I had cheeseburgers, I didnt inspect them but I know there was lettuce, peppers: red green and yellow I think, mayo, ketchup mustard and old mozzarella, sesame seed bun from a local baker. Bah, my wife puts effort into these things and I'm too busy to appreciate them.

[warghoul]

2902
Curry, Naan, and beer. absolutely amazing.

[Barra]

What sort of curry?

[Slime Slayer]

I just had chicken curry over rice.

[warghoul]

Indian chicken curry. I love Indian food but it always seems to stain my fingers yellow for the day.

[Kugyince]

Last night was ham, potatoes, and spinach.

our secret recipe bacon cheese burgers with pepperjack cheese seasoned fries and cheesy sticks :D

So I tried my hand at a pseudo stir-fry.
http://www.retrouprising.com/img/2013_04/2179.jpghttp://www.retrouprising.com/img/2013_04/2180.jpg

I should have added something to the beef. Far too tasteless.
The pepper was also undercooked. Next time I shall throw it in sooner.

I'm okay with it on the whole, though. I find myself quick to improve and seldom to prosper early.

I made pulled pork. Sadly I did not take a picture.

Never tried it, I doubt it's available in Canada.

[FudgyDRS]

I used the joy of cooking recipe for beef stroganoff (lots of sour cream and salt and beek stock) but I forgot to take a picture, it served enough for four. I also used a little bit of mesquite rub while cooking the beef.

Large meals are a pain to clean up.
Trying here either tomarrow or Friday: HotDoggers | Now Open! (http://www.hotdoggers.net/).
Unfortunatly they don't have hot wings.

At least when shes done she can eat the bowl.

[Dudebro]

I think it looks great and I'm jealous.

[Tails]

I think the crust is too thick.

[Slime Slayer]

I think the crust is too thick.

Right, the crust serves as a tool to get the toppings into your mouth, nothing more.

[OmegaShadow]

The onions and peppers turn me off; otherwise it would look great.

Right, the crust serves as a tool to get the toppings into your mouth, nothing more.
Don't tell me you two are the type of people who don't eat the crust.

I think it looks awesome, if not a little too cheesy. Was there any meat on it besides pepperoni?

[Slime Slayer]

I'll it the crust provided it's not the equivalent to a small loaf of bread.

pepperoni was the only meat DN (i dont like eating much meat)

Chops and vege tonight
Not particularly appetising, nor healthy. but DAMN it gon' be goood
Oh and yes, I like to eat...a lot.

[Slime Slayer]

I BBQ for the first time in my life 5 days ago, and every night since then, I'm hooked.

[Barra]

Love BBQ. What have you been BBQ'ing? Whats your favourite?

[Slime Slayer]

Steak 3 the first 3 nights, then hotdogs and tonight was grilled cheese with some cajun chicken thrown in for good measure. Also various veggies and stuff, and blue cheese stuffed olives... yummy.

The steak is my favorite so far. You?

[Barra]

\I love chops and kebabs. Steak is good too. Pretty much anything is good! Cant wait for BBQ seasons again

[Kong]

Easy no cook summer recipes to impress the ladies.

1.
Chop figs and avocado and mix together.
Optional mix in chopped pistachio nuts and dried cranberries.
Get kale or collard greens or similar dark green leaf.
Chop leaf mix all together for salad or use leaf whole wrap the mix in the leaf like a burrito.
Sprinkle with chocolate covered almonds and a square of dark chocolate on the side.

2.
Chop avocado and mango. Mix together and add lemon juice.
Mound the mix in center of plate.
Cut smoked salmon into bite size strips.
Decorate the avocado and mango with the salmon. Either cover the mound with the salmon or encircle it.
Sprinkle with an herb like sage.
Garnish with a sprig of some herb.

3.
Mix the following in a bowl until smooth.
60% Cream cheese, 25% sour cream, 15% yogurt. - you can experiment with the numbers.
Add in dark chocolate chips or other light flavoring. You can use flavored yogurt.

You can eat plain on graham crackers or something similar but it is best used as a no sugar cake frosting.

4.
Buy pre-cooked beets - NOT in a can. Gold and red mixed together work best but gold is hard to find so just use what is available. If you can't find pre-cooked then boil fresh ones the day before.
Strain the the juice into glasses and drink.
Slice beets. You can sometimes buy pre-sliced.
Layer with goat cheese. Preferably flavored such as honey or herb.
Sprinkle with crushed pistachios and some colorful herb that will blend well such as mint, sage, fennel or paprika.
Garnish with a sprig of something.

5.
There are very few kitchen products I suggest buying. Buy a Yonana machine. It turns frozen fruit into delicious no sugar added soft serve ice cream.

---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

6. Fill graham cracker pie crust with yonana ice cream top with cream cheese icing from #3 for delicious home made ice cream pie. One of the easiest, fastest and healthiest pies you can make.

[Barra]

They all sound pretty good Kong. Especially #1
Do they come with pictures? :D

[D.B. Cooper]

I have one of these and cook on it at least three or four times a week. Steak, chicken, turkey, chops, ribs, burgers, dogs. I even cook my take n bake pizzas on the grill.http://www.retrouprising.com/img/2013_08/2593.jpg

[Kong]

I rarely take pictures of anything. I searched the internet and found these.

Kale avocado fig wrap. Be sure the fig pit is removed.

[Slime Slayer]

No meat at all? I think my wife would love all these though, I will show her, thanks.

[Barra]

They all look and sound really nice. Except beet and goats cheese, it looks great but not sure what it would be like.

[Kong]

No meat at all? Salmon in one.


Except beet and goats cheese, it looks great but not sure what it would be like.
I've made it several times.
Once with canned beets. Horrible.
Once with salmon flavored cream cheese. Ok.
Twice with honey flavored goat cheese. Very tasty. It isn't the absolute best tasting thing ever but it is tasty, easy and fancy looking.

[FudgyDRS]

I made bratwurst (from a Joy of Cooking cook book I have) and bought french rolls from the store. I eat them with yellow mustard and sometimes onion. I can't find a decent sauerkraut at the store. I forgot about this thread and didn't bother taking a picture though.

[Slime Slayer]

Do you you guys have Doritos Zesty in the states? I opened a bag today only to find them tasting pretty much like nacho cheese, which I'm not a fan of. Sparse google results are kinda making me think they are a Canada only flavour.

So if I'm mistaken, and the rest of the world does get them, has anyone noticed a change in flavour? I'm pretty pissed off about it, they were my favorite chips, since I was a kid.

[FudgyDRS]

Yes, I just bought a bag from CVS for a dollar. I'm not a fan.

They came in a package that looked like this:
http://www.retrouprising.com/img/2013_09/2640.gif

[Slime Slayer]

Okay, those appear to be different, mine type are not hot, and they are just called Zesty Cheese.

http://www.retrouprising.com/img/2013_09/2641.jpg

Anyway, I tried a few more later on in the evening... and they tasted normal again wahoo!!!

I think what happened was when I tasted them the first time, it was between bites of Kraft Diner with tuna and peas. It must of really messed with my taste buds. Anyway, I'm glad they are back to normal.

[Barra]

We dont have that flavour here. Although if its like nacho cheese, I probably wouldnt like it anyway. Salsa FTW

[Slime Slayer]

No, it's not like Nacho Cheese, it's just a cheese flavor with no weird spices. I don't like Nacho Cheese either.

[Dudebro]

Cool ranch is best Dorito.

[FudgyDRS]

I don't like Doritos. I like potato chips.

[Barra]

Made a thai green curry this afternoon using milk instead of coconut cream. Surprisingly it doesnt lose any flavor. Also used brown rice as an alternative

[Slime Slayer]

Made a drunken meal of chicken livers with some home made garlic bread last night, very tasty.

Jack Daniels BBQ pulled pork, toast, peppers, kale and brussel sprout chips, and stir fry veggies.

What, no other takers?I don't understand what's going on - suddenly this thread went from casual mentions of favorite foods to a full - menu list.
Maybe I'm not the only one confused and startled by this sudden change in format?

For me, food has become like a welcome stranger .. you never quite know who's going to show up but you're happy to see them all the same.



Oh hai!

http://www.retrouprising.com/img/2014_11/4855.jpeg


Basically I walk into the store, and whatever is on sale is what's on the menu.
I look at the price, then I look at what the thing actually is, and if it's not too hideous then it's what's for dinner!

[Dudebro]

I usually eat leftovers in the morning-mid afternoon and then whatever my wife makes/orders for dinner. It's all good.

[Kugyince]

Coffee for breakfast. Leftover chicken and biscuits and a vitamin water for lunch. Goulash and a Sierra Nevada beer for dinner.

@Joe: Just curious about eating habits.

@DB: My work day is usually pretty straight forward. Coffee for breakfast, leftovers for lunch, then dinner when I get home.

[Dudebro]

Coffee for breakfast never made sense to me. If I did that it'd be like this-

Breakfast-coffee only
Brunch- lots of pooping
Lunch- something that might settle my stomach from the coffee squirts
Lupper- more poop and possibly some angry tears
Dinner- whatever my wife makes for dinner

[CrispyChicken]

Breakfast: Scrambled Eggs
Lunch: Leftovers from last night or a Sandwich
Dinner: Whatever my parents make that night/takeout
And I usually snack on chips, chocolate/candy, fruit, ice cream, etc throughout the day if I'm hungry.

[Kugyince]

I've never heard of coffee giving someone the shits.

[Dudebro]

Well now you have. I know I'm not the only one either.

[Slime Slayer]

For supper tonight. 5 eggs, 4 whole wheat toast with cheese whiz, 8-10 strips of bacon and some hash browns, and about a half a litre of milk straight from the carton.
