Whatcha Eatin'?

[FatherAlabaster]

That gif is hilarious. I really think it just comes down to having learned the motions when I was young. I was fascinated with the Romans when I was a kid, but utilitarian hacking and stabbing doesn't seem as cool as the more refined "turbo Ginsu" technique from the first TMNT movie.

That's true. Gladiuses are useful and effective but boring as hell. Then again, if you're looking for artful sword moves you'd be better off looking to the the Jedi...

There's a very fine line between "artful" and "fruity"... of course, the older I get, the more apt I am to solve problems by hitting them with a hammer until they do what I want. One of my favorite things about carpentry was getting to hit things all the time.

I had frozen. Ravioli. It's was good

I'm munching on pretzels.

[Atrocity]

Soup,again. Hope it will help me get rid of the cold :/

Yiros, or at least that's what we South Australians call it. lamb, feta cheese, tzatziki (and lots of it), all wrapped in pita bread. Yummy.

Re: Whatcha Eatin'? It's spelled gyros here, but the pronunciation is the same. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

I've had very little Korean food experience. There is a place I know of in town, but have never tried it. What would you recommend that I try? Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Has anyone had mako shark. Steak What does that like

[RelentlessOblivion]

Hmm, well I imagine it would taste similar to what we call Flake down here (it's some sort of shark but I don't know which). It's quite nice but if I'm going for fish it's just got to be salmon.

Korean food is amazing. I would like to say I'm a bit of a junkie and it's my second favorite asian cuisine (after burmese). There are the Korean staples which I recommend anyone try that are sorta fundamental foods: Kimchee: napa cabbage pickled and fermented in chili paste and other spices. It's pungent, tangy, spicy and used as a condiment. Banchan: Banchan is the word for all the little garnishes / condiments that are served, usually gratis, before a meal. They can contain pickled veggies like diakon and cucumber, bean sprouts, pickled fishes, kimchee, seaweeds, and they all taste great alone or with a bite of rice and meat. Soju: Soju is a higher proof rice liquor compared Japanese Sake and it's often mixed with fruit juices and yogurt for a deadly combination (sweet, doesn't taste much of alcohol, will quickly floor you if you're not careful). Dishes: Kimchee pancake. Not really like a breakfast pancake, more like a "bready omelette". Really good for a starter. Bulgogi: Rib Eye steak marinated and grilled and super tender and tasty Pork belly: Anything with Pork Belly (like Gyub Saal) cooked by Koreans is usually superb. I'd grab it. Jaap Chae is really nice texture -- glass noodles -- stir fried with veggies or meats and while the mouth texture and taste is good, it is not filling food. Glass noodles will leave you hungry again 2 hours later. Bibimbap: To Korea what Fish and Chips is for England. It's a rice bowl usually top with Bulgogi or some other type of marinated, grilled meat. Then topped with a selection of foods like spinach, carrot slices, mushrooms, egg and other tasty things. It's very typical Korean food but not my favorite dish. Kalbi / Galbi: Marinated grilled ribs, super tender and delicious Kimchi Chigae: a super hot, really comforting soup that is spicy as hell and served boiling with a scoop of super smooth custard like tofu on top. It's just wonderful in winter time. So Kori Chim: A really complex stew with braised ox tail with dates, chestnuts, hardboiled eggs, and daikon. It's just lovely, and most korean stews are to die for. All in all I would experiment and see what you like. The flavors of Korea should be celebrated.

Re: Whatcha Eatin'? I've had kimchi before, but not much else. About the closest I've had to Korean food is at a place in Vegas called Komex, which is a Korean/Mexican fusion place. They had Korean BBQ pork tacos which were delicious, but I went right after having already eaten elsewhere, so that's about all that I could eat. The stuff you're describing sounds great and I'm always up for new stuff, I'll have to give it a go. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Man... I've had a Vietnamese version of that rice bowl with meat, eggs, and fermented veggies, and some steamed greens... so fucking good! It all sounds pretty delicious.

One of the best pizzas I've ever had was one we did homemade, we cracked an egg in the center before putting it in the oven and it came out wonderful. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Nom nom nom.

[~Mere~]

Craisins. I think I'm addicted.

[FatherAlabaster]

These little hot dog pastry things from Trader Joe's. And a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Complete garbage, but my mood is remarkably better now...

Today I pretty much was protein-starved. Started with a protein shake, then I had a collard green wrap filled with veggies and cashew cheese. Bought one of those roaster chickens and devoured half of it along with a heap of salad. A bunch of almonds. Some tea. Dinner was 2 slices of deli chicken breast rolled in a buckwheat crepe. Had about an ounce of chocolate, meh. Still feeling protein starved so I made an egg scrambled with slices of turkey dog. I think I'm done for the day LOL

[FatherAlabaster]

Come on, chunky, tell us the truth! The insatiably ravenous Ghouly is never "done for the day"... she merely falls into a food-induced torpor amidst the gnawed corpses of her recent prey.
