The Food Disscusion

[Claire Diviner]

hehe, I made Takoyaki last night.

I so want to eat it! O:

 

[Vinylic.]

That looks mighty goooooood.

I haven't had anything interesting to eat.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

The ingredients are so hard to come by here, like octopus, and I was missing a few minor ingredients when I made it, but it was so good at the end xD

Japanese mayo in particular was so expensive...

I'll probably start doing this often xD So good...

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Octopus isn't hard to come by where I like

 

[Vinylic.]

Cheese empanadas will be taken tomorrow. <3

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I wonder how common the like of broccoli is?

Apparently broccoli has a very bitter taste which repels people, but some people are born with a gene that makes it so humans can't taste the bitter flavor of broccoli.

Without that bitter flavor, it becomes the most delicious vegetable ever!

...Obviously I'm one of the people that can't taste that bitter flavor, but I wonder how common that actually is. I see lots of dishes served with broccoli

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Loooove broccoli, dude. Just had it yesterday.

 

[Jackie]

Same thing with cilantro.

On Brad tried, Brad (The cinema snob) tries some "weird foods" but in this episode one of the things he tries is "Boston Baked Beans"

Are Boston Baked Beans some kind of rare candy on the east coast or something? because they are common here

Edit: Apparently the company that makes them is located in Chicago

 

[Vinylic.]

I tried wendy's breakfast panini and holy **** are they good. Especially the home fries and coffee.

 

[sakuraZaKi]

Wendy's as in the fast food?

If it is, I should check this out XD

Hostess closing down today.

I crave ddukbokki / Korean food right now and it's driving me insane.

Maybe I'll have Korean BBQ for Thanksgiving kekeke.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I took some friends once to a Korean restaurant I liked. ...unfortunately they brought some of their friends with them as well, and the second we walked in one of them yelled out "This place smells like garbage" or something to that degree...

We ran out with our heads down in shame. That was embarrassing. I was furious that person came with us, uninvited by me.

 

[~ Gheb ~]

So I've stopped eating meat about 4 months ago and it was the best decision I ever made. I've never felt so strong mentally and yet at peace with myself so much. Only semi-related to the topic I guess but I felt like this is the right topic to share it with.

It's like people are ******** or something. Shame that had to happen to you.

I'd probably last as a vegetarian but I need my chicken for protein!

 

[~ Gheb ~]

Sorry to burst your bubble but veggies have no issues with protein. That's a myth ^_^

 

[Susann97]

I discovered more something totally new on this fat loss issue. A single issue is that good nutrition is very vital while dieting. A tremendous reduction in junk food, sugary meals, fried foods, sweet foods, pork, and bright flour products could be necessary. Having wastes parasitic organisms, and toxic compounds may prevent aims for fat-loss. While certain drugs quickly solve the challenge, the unpleasant side effects are certainly not worth it, and they never supply more than a short-term solution. It is just a known indisputable fact that 95% of diet plans fail. Many thanks for sharing your notions on this web site. Great!

Okay tofu, beans, and all that extra good stuff aside I cannot survive as an Asian without meat. Pho, samgyeopsal, dimsum oh my!

Besides I'm not worried about my health going south anyways. I'm Asian after all.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I once decided to get off meat for a year. But no diet is going to stop me from eating sushi.

Uni, Unagi, Tako, etc.

Caterpillar rolls are really good (They are basically a variation of dragon rolls, eel and avocado)

 

[Thundermistress]

Random food spam.

Did a photoshoot for one of my favourite dessert shops in town.

This was morning tea. What diet? 8D

Recently discovered an amazing vegan chocolate. not cooked over 48C, dairy free, gluten free...amazeballs! I'm not vegan by any means, but I also like supporting local products, this one is made in my city c:

There was a spanish street festival over the weekend. Had this delicious cake thing with light fluffy layers of dough sandwiched with wicked caramel

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Food doesn't taste good to me unless I know some animal gave it's blood, sweat, or other bodily fluids up in order to make it

 

[Thundermistress]

Yeah, plenty of blood, sweat and tears from dessert chefs go into making their desserts. So why no appreciation? Whilst I do love a good piece of meat, I have so much respect for dessert chefs who often put in a lot more time and creativity into their food. And I do love a chef who can be creative with their vegetables. Hard to do at home.

Although having said that I did have one of the best lamb skewers of my life over the weekend.

Excuse me while I throw up.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I'm making chicken and asparagus in curry sauce

I'm making that recipe to try out something weird I found - White Asparagus

 

[Thundermistress]

Love white asparagus, so sweet! Especially in Spring when it's in season <3

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

The white asparagus does add a nice flavor. If they continue to stock it, I'll continue to add it along with the green to this recipe. This recipe is my specialty, it's the one I practiced the most.

I changed it a lot from the original recipe that I got to give it more flavor. The original was kind of bland

 

[Jackie]

I've never had white asparagus, I was under the impression it was for snoody foodies and tastes like green asparagus with less flavor. Is it actually sweeter or something like that?

 

[Claire Diviner]

So apparently, no one in the household likes turkey neck, heart, or liver except me. That is more than good enough for me! ^w^

 

[Vinylic.]

Thanksgiving day and treats has been made by my 3-year-old nephew himself (with some woman)!

 

[deepseadiva]

This should be the biggest day for this thread. Looking forward to dinner updates.

Mexican Thanksgiving is my favorito. This year I get to drink!

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Just finished my traditional Thanksgiving dinner - full on hot pot~ Yumm!

 

[Thundermistress]

I've never had white asparagus, I was under the impression it was for snoody foodies and tastes like green asparagus with less flavor. Is it actually sweeter or something like that?

I personally do find white asparagus, when in season, is beautifully tender and sweet. It is sweeter, but a little bit more elegant and subtle than green asparagus, so I can see why people would think it has less flavour.

I like just steaming it (or microwaving it if I'm lazy), putting a teaspoon of butter over it to melt and sprinkling a bit of salt and pepper. All it needs. c: I remember buying a big fat bunch when I was in the market in Barcelona, each stalk was as thick as my thumb, so good! <3

Ah, I would imagine it being much fresher from the source over there in Europe.


I put pomegranate juice and lemon zest in my cranberry sauce, bomb diggity. Also, my family has a specific way to carve turkeys: [COLLAPSE="small"]

[/COLLAPSE]

 

[Claire Diviner]

Here's an interesting idea my girlfriend conjured up; a grilled cheese and turkey sammywich. To you cheese and turkey lovers, and those who enjoy a grilled cheese sammywich, it tastes as amazing as it sounds. <3

 

[choknater]

wow that looks so good

 

[sakuraZaKi]

That's what I love about Thanksgiving! Leftover turkey.

 

[joY]

And so begins the 1 month of body prepping until Christmas dinner loll

Waffle House has some grade A waffles.
