Food Thread: Mailed In Edition (First Class Postage Though!)

This is exactly what I am talking about when I refer to English pub food as being quite good. That is a carefully boned rib chop, cured and smoked as bacon. Topped with a fried egg, and served with some sauce that was a mystery to me but quite tasty, and some onion/apple relish off to the left. I am not usually a fan of anything apple within 50 feet of my dinner plate, but that stuff was delicious!

The chips were wonderful. The beer was delicious.

If you don't like that sort of food you are simply taking the contrarian position and you will be sent to your room.

[This is going to be a bare-bones Food Thread. I am recovering from some sort of malady that I caught from some Frog trying to weaken Anglo-Saxon culture so they can express contempt for us without fear of getting punched in the nose. Plus, the snowblowing kicked my *ss!

So you people will have to open up a can of whoop-ass on the Gun Thread snobs and put them in their rightful place at the bottom of the famous and coveted AoSHQ 4:00pm-10:00pm Sunday Time Slot! Can you do it without the guiding hands of Dildo? Wait... what?

By the way, does anyone know where this competition came from? I suspect it was from a 9mm enthusiast, but who knows, it might even be a shaken Manhattan troglodyte!]

******

Which first? That was the question posed to me, and I must say, I was a little taken aback. I think it is obvious.

Your thoughts?

******

I did not think it was possible to make Mac & Cheese unappetizing, but the health/environment Nazis in the UK figured it out!

******

I took that photo at the tail end of the lunch hour, where pretty much everything else was picked over. And because I adore sausage rolls in their every form... even the most humble from a supermarket, I was just about to grab one when... yup! Fake meat!

And right next to that display was an empty display of... come on ... you can guess!

Yeah... the real deal.

It made me laugh. Even in effete, soon-to-be-authoritarian London, they can't force people to eat zee bugz!

~~Who are those poor deluded souls~~ We know who shake their Manhattans! These are the same people who drink fine bourbon with coke, and probably shake red wine with ice too.

$1,200 for a bottle of bourbon is just stupid, insulting, and a ghastly affront to most people's palates and wallets. I think the sweet spot is $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle.

The problem...or the solution...is to buy lots of bourbon, take tasting notes, and eventually arrive at your favorites! It should take forty of fifty years, but it is worth it!

5 So, made deconstructed shepard's pie for 7 with my 2 lbs of Aldi's ground lamb...

Took this recipe's lamb filling without any of the veg (and with draining off most of the fat) https://www.thewholesomedish. com/the-best-classic-shepherds-pie/ - no measuring spices or add ins either - did everything by taste.

Then I made my mashed potatoes. And I roasted (in separate spots on my sheet pan) with olive oil and s&p onions, carrots, and zucchini. And then I microwaved a can of corn (which I don't eat anymore, b/c my meds and corn don't go together) for the kids.

Gave everyone a plate. Told them to lay down mashed potatoes, add 2+ of the vegetables on top, and then get a ladle of the lamb filling over the top. A lot of work, but I was told it was one of the best meals they all ever ate...and to buy more lamb.

Of course, separating it, the meat and potatoes were gone, but I still had veg (went on a salad today)...but the whole "make it cheaper by having veg" only slightly works when it's split up...

Today, the boys wanted chili for the Super Bowl, so we're having beef and bean chili with Philly pretzel bites (big sale, and we gotta represent our team) with honey mustard and clementines and grapes.

No cornbread or chips today, b/c the pretzels will be enough of the "salty carb" folks want with chili...

And I have chicken skin from yesterday in the fridge (plus some of the jus from the crockpot since I sauced after shredding)...maybe cook the skin so I get the fat for the filling, and then use the skin on top for the missing pie crust crunch (yes, bone in thighs were 99 cents/lb this week, how'd you know)...

36 "I refer to English pub food as being quite good."

Just don't say that in England!

Here's how I know: an American was invited for dinner to his English girlfriend's parents' house. He said the food was "quite good". The mother was obviously crushed, and the father became irate.

To us Americans, "quite" means "thoroughly" or "completely", and it seems like a kind of classy English word like Alastair Cooke would use. But in England, it means "barely" and it has no class overtones at all.

37 I did sourdough bread baking a very long time ago and having had a rebirth as far a breadmaking goes, decided to make a starter.

Bought one of those glass jars with a stick on temperature gage, an elastic band for remembering level and day of feed, and a couple of caps, one that screws on, and a linen cap.

First try doing 50g WW flour and 50g water resulted in a bubbly thing by day 3, and then I killed it by doing the flour and water feed, using tap water instead of good water. May have been just enough chlorine in the tap water to bring things to a halt.

So I am one feed into my second starter and all looks good.

I usually drain about 80-85%...a little goes a long way, and a lot goes too far...

I did the same for my chili today...half saute the veg, then toss the beef in, cook fully and drain out 80-85%, then add the tomatoes, chilis, seasonings, beer, and beans...then reseason in an hour if necessary...

73 After the recent besmirching of Costco's Australian rack of lamb, I had to make it again to see if it was as gamy as had been suggested.

Not only was it not gamy, it was, in a word, spectacular. After removing the fat cap and silverskin, I seared it in my Made In 12" SS skillet for a couple of minutes on a side, then covered it with a mix of panko breadcrumbs, EVOO, Italian Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Then, into a 450 F oven for 18 minutes. While that was going on, I made a red wine reduction with some of my dinner wine, onions, garlic, and a cube of demi-glace. The sauce turned an excellent rack of lamb into ambrosia fit only for the gods.

You need a foodie weekend getaway...then you drive home after the weekend with all the stuff...

The cookie butter put into a chocolate cake or chocolate frosting or layered on a chocolate chocolate cake as the middle filling is divine (which is why I'm thinking I'm finally gonna put it in fondue - we've done chocolate coconut, chocolate amaretto, chocolate peanut butter, chocolate cherry, double chocolate and chocolate vanilla...and the kids like variety)...

I have 2 college girls who also are getting home late for meals, and don't want to eat on campus...instead, they are craving sandwiches...they've been doing PB, but getting bored...thus the sunflower seed butter and the cookie butter (which they had finished my supply of cookie butter last week on their pbs - thus, my trip)...

Yesterday, I found canned lentils. My college daughter is always wanting a bean lunch, and with Lent coming and Indian sauces on my shelf, having a can of lentils dunked in Indian sauce with rice seems like the world's fastest Lenten lunch still with protein.

And 99 cents a can for those lentils. Those were my other 1st time buy yesterday...again, interesting stuff around each time...

In the 1930s, for purposes of statistics, they excluded government employees - military, post office department, anyone employed by the federal government in Washington.

My wife has a lot of sugar around the house. She is a very brittle Type-I diabetic. For all her big issues, she is a medical marvel. Because her eye doctor says that every person that has had Type I as long as her is blind. She still has some vision left.

Wings, get as dry as possible leaving uncovered in the refrigerator for up to twenty four hours. Coat with rice flour, or some sort of powdered starch product.
Or less optimally cornstarch. Bake away!

Hey!

Do you like chili? And do you like curry? Howzabout cilantro?

Would you like a nice Chili variation with that certain je ne said quoi ionstead of Cincinnati Chili and cette certaine qualité de merde?

Then Ladies and Gentlemen you are ready for:

Kill City Chili

https://www.saveur.com/article/recipes/kill-city-chili/

I saw this recipe and thought it sounded interesting and most importantly, stupidly easy to make. So, I made a big pot of it yesterday for dinner and today's Superb Owl 2nd Day Dinner..

It's really very good. The curry doesn't dominate. It just deepens the flavor and winks at you in the aftertaste. It eats very more-ish with beer.

The delightful and discerning Mrs naturalfake shocked me when she said that she prefers KCC to the regular bowl of red.

So, there you go folks. Give it a whirl.

It's simple and quick enough that you can start it now and have it ready for Superb Owl half-time.

My Pimp Shot My Dealer-I won't be able to dry for 24 hours, but will look into some type of starch. I've done them in the oven before and found a recipe that uses baking powder to make them crispy. It made them bitter instead.

CBD, A man after my own heart. Lagavulin 16 is my favorite single malt. Sadly, you are right about the price. Happily, I got a couple of bottle from a Wisconsin discount liquor store some years ago when visiting for about half the current price. That is a decade of scotch drinking at the rate I go through it. Guests can have a blended scotch or some George Dickel 12 Tennessee whisky.

253 Food related...

I just microwaved an egg, sliced it up, and put it in the dog Ralphy's dog food. He liked that.

$90 Canadian bags of dog food, mixed with steamed vegetables, now with egg, and the almost $6 cans of dog food which he no longer seems to care for. This was after our vegetable and turkey gravy phase.

Old people, and old animals are so hard to feed.

I'm really tired of trying.

My late father in his 80's knew how bad sugar was, avoided it like the plague, ate healthy but dropped so much weight, and I put him on Ensure and similar stuff.

Pretty much sugar.

And the dog is just fussy and old. And I spent years trying to get my elderly parents to eat.

I love the cats. Through my depresseion after Mom died, they were thrilled with their food.

Sadly, I turned Snowflake into an adorable snowball.

342 "The fact that the DoD has not passed an audit is not suggestive of waste, fraud and abuse. Let's clear that up right there."
_Kathleen Hicks

Prior to DOGE audits just looked to see if you knew where the money went. Period. No speculation on suitability, or whether the program you were funding was permitted, or if the end recipient is a terrorist. Just do you know where the money went. They couldn't even do that.

352 Considering that the last line of"Lift every voice and sing" talks about (Blacks) "being true to our native land"- and he meant the USA -the author James Weldon Johnson probably might not have appreciated it being called " The Black National Anthem" either. He was in support of desegregation and voting rights not a separate "nation" of African Americans.

Just don't say that in England!

It means pretty good, edible but not the best.
When you say 'he didn't quite make it' it's telling that the objective was missed, even if by a hairsbreadth.

They did and completed it...so refs had to overturn the play with a flag.

Eagles D was pissed. Mahomes is lucky that wasn't a pick.

And it's Ju Ju...not actually better, but the WR's name...

381 For Super Bowl dinner - hot roast pork with gravy and medium sharp cheese on good rolls, accompanied with long hots, macaroni salad, Cole slaw, green salad. There's also fresh pineapple, watermelon & cupcakes.

I think this is the most I've ever posted on the Food Thread, which I consistently enjoy a great deal.

388 36 ...

To us Americans, "quite" means "thoroughly" or "completely", and it seems like a kind of classy English word like Alastair Cooke would use. But in England, it means "barely" and it has no class overtones at all.

Cooked a few to snack on & froze the rest for later.

Whew! Next time, I'll drag a chair into the kitchen so I don't have to stand for so long.

391 I’m not going to tell you it’s ‘worth’ it, but a friend of mine splurged on a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle 12 yr, for his promotion to LtCol and I was able to sample a short pour. I will say this: if you can discern the step from $60 to $100, you WILL be able to tell you’re tasting something very special.

Iif you have the opportunity to splurge on a shot of it out of a freshly opened bottle… spend the money, and see what you’ve been missing. I don’t think I’d take a chance on a bottle that’s been opened for months/ was near the end.

else could anyone get that type of info in such an ideal method of writing?
I have a presentation subsequent week, and I'm at the
