What can you expect in the Food Thread on PF?

[HeLiXe]

Black eyed peas have a wonderful flavor. Cook some with either a smoked ham hock, bacon, or salt pork, abit of onion and some garlic could be added, but that's all you need with these flavorful peas.

Thx Evo :) I'll give it a try. I remember liking them but I cannot remember their flavor.

I do a lot of quick and dirty meals, so I use store bought caned vegetables including black eye peas. Normally I just season with garlic, onion, and butter.

But here's a different method that might be worth trying.

Fried black eyed pea croquettes, they sound tasty.

When I saw the link I thought you were referring to the deep fried black eyed peas that Alton Brown raved about.

I'm making black eyed peas right now. Maybe I'll try frying some.

I hope they're ready now. I just bought a 30 pack of beer and heading your way.

I already have Molson Golden. Just keep driving and I'll make us a pan-seared rib-eye, some home-fries, and vegetables of your choice.

Edit: Of course, I don't have Evo's attributes. I can cook, though.

They're ready! I have Prime ribeye steaks too. Restaurant, special aged PRIME. Can't buy it, I got it from my meat connection.

I've gained a couple of pounds with all these good eats. Thanks.

pan-seared, oven roasted meatballs, crushed tomato sauce with some spicy zip... on an onion roll... well... next to one. A big salad, and some ice cold water.

Ahhhh... simple... delicious.

I put some peas aside to dry and will attempt to fry them tomorrow.

Just bring yourself.

I confess I'm a novice cook, so forgive this question...but what do you mean by this Evo? Did you put some aside from the ones you cooked?

My neighbor got in a baking mood this afternoon and he made banana bread with some orange, cranberries, and golden raisins. He and his daughter and grand-daughters just dropped a loaf a few minutes ago, and it's delicious.

We're pretty close. Even without the food, though the food-swaps are great.

OMG, make these! They are delicious! Be really careful with the Old Bay seasoning, it's super salty, they don't really even need it as long as they were seasoned while cooking.

 

[nismaratwork]

We're pretty close. Even without the food, though the food-swaps are great.

It's probably one of the most ancient ways to say, "hello neighbor, let's be friends!" known to humanity. It's too bad that these days, too many wait until someone gets sick to share goodies. You're a lucky man to have such good friends and neighbors.

 

[nismaratwork]

Terrific, will do!

P.S. Isn't Brown gaga over Old Bay? I think that's his favorite blend or something along those lines, so that may explain the amount.

It's actually the restaurant's recipe. Old bay is really mostly celery salt.

I recently tried tarragon mayonnaise in chicken salad prep. Very tasty. Use fresh tarragon.
What about adding celery seed to the tarragon-mayo, and maybe some chopped tomato? Haven't tried that yet

Celery seed sounds great... I'd try the tomato on the side... it might be a little acidic.

I should have said SLICED tomatoes and pickles to make myself more clear
I once ordered some @ Denny's and the lady asked me if I'm with child LOL I don't think the combination is peculiar at all.

It's good on a sub: Lettuce, tomato, mayo...


Somehow you add tarragon and it doesn't sound so appetizing...

Brought back a food memory. When I was a kid, I used to eat bologna sandwiches with lettuce, mayo, and mustard...then take out that icky bologna (dog loved it) but leave the best part of the sandwich !

Reminds me of when I used to order cheeseburgers from Mc Donalds minus the meat lolol

Ohhh... I would love to taste whatever a 7 star chef makes... I think if you die and there IS a heaven... that should be the guy or gal who makes you breakfast!

 

[Evo]

Tomatoes I like, pickles I like, but together? I can't see combining the two textures. Tomatoes are so soft, pickles should be crunchy. I can't imagine eating them together. I guess the sourness is an issue also since there are cucumber and tomato salads. There is something I can't finger that just isn't right.

 

[DaveC426913]

I don't mind (dill) pickles in principle, I just find that, like green peppers, their taste dominates every other taste.

 

[ThomasT]

Celery seed sounds great... I'd try the tomato on the side... it might be a little acidic.

Well, I did finally include the chopped tomato, and, considering your caution re the acidic ... ness, and remembering the adage "fight fire with fire", I added a bit of lemon, just a pinch of lemon pepper seasoning, and some scrapings from the, I'm guessing, arm of some sort of, I'm guessing, mammal that was apparently electrocuted on the power lines outside the house.

It wasn't bad, though not 7-star chef stuff (again, just a guess). By the way, what's the current max on chef stars? I seem to remember it being quite a bit less than 7, but that was a while ago. Freaking inflation, eh?

Thats a very loose definition of meat, imo.

I think the max on stars, by which we mean Michelin stars... I think 4 is the max... and RARE... that's why I want a 7 star chef if there's a decent afterlife. Still, 7... yep; the chow to star exchange has been completely distorted... I blame Goldman-Sachs!

P.S. I think Willy Wonka was a 7 star pastry chef...

 

[nismaratwork]

You don't like agar and other binders and fillers?! YUM... that smooooth texture, the squishy moisture, and the way it makes you groan on the porcelain god almost SECONDS later?!

Wow... I guess some people don't appreciate fine cuts of aged beef.

 

[ThomasT]

I blame Goldman-Sachs!

I recently blamed them for a flat tire.

P.S. I think Willy Wonka was a 7 star pastry chef...

You might want to add that to the Wonka Wiki.

Wonka was a legendary patissier, and somewhat strange, but apparently against cannabalism:

Everything in this room is eatable. In fact even I am eatable, but that is called canabalism my dear children and is frowned upon in most civilizations.

 

[nismaratwork]

I recently blamed them for a flat tire.

You are on a ROLL! (no pun). Frankly, I'm willing to blamed them for poor air quality and herpes if it comes ot that.

You seem to be in a much improved mood lately, its good to see. Still, where do you think they discovered "snozzberry"? Wonka's left armpit.

and a loose definition of bread too!

Great frisbees in a pinch if you let them dry.

unrelated question Evo...do you like warm and cold together? I looooove the paradise pie from chili's...particularly when they used to serve it in a cast iron skillet.

Ohhh... I would love to taste whatever a 7 star chef makes... I think if you die and there IS a heaven... that should be the guy or gal who makes you breakfast!

I wonder if that would be heaven for him/her

Nope, it's like Louis CK's Dog heaven: cat's pop up at noon, clouds poop steaks, but there's no 'people heaven'. There's no cat heaven, but there's a cat hell, "It's called, 'Dog Heaven'".

*prepares for the wrath of cat-people*

I actually don't have a sweet tooth. I eat a couple of teaspoons of ice cream once a year. I rarely eat deserts, it's usually is given to me and I end up eating it over the course of a few days.

...The clouds pooped steaks

au poivre I presume!

Heh...

No sweet tooth? Honestly now, you don't like chocolate?

 

[Evo]

No sweet tooth? Honestly now, you don't like chocolate?

I like dark and bittersweet chocolate, but I hardly ever eat it. Again, if someone gives me some, I'll eat it, but I never have candy in the house, I never think about buying it, but gifts are always welcome!

I admit that once in a blue moon I'll get a craving, and then I might make my super cocoa fudge with pecans. A very dark, not very sweet fudge. you can't buy fudge with that much dark cocoa in it, the fudge at stores is too sweet and not chocolatey enough.
