I'm home alone. :san_grin:

So I cooked one of my favourite 'avenger' dishes, the kind that nobody else ever likes. Mine is, or was before I devoured it:

- Fillet of pork from the oven with apple slices, a clove, a little sugar and cinnamon and a shot of Calvados.
- Accompanied by fried taters and beetroots stewed in sugar, vinegar and butter.
- And half a bottle of cheap rosé, the kind that would have raisins floating in it if it weren't for EU standards.
Impeccable. https://img320.imageshack.us/img320/8560/kokmetzonnebril8ep.gif

So what is your avenger dish when everybody else has gone out, left the deck, hit the sack or whatever? Something you love and savour and which everybody else finds disgusting?

you said fried taters *hugs adrian*I'll tell you what. Some time ago I posted here inquiring about ways to cook a turkey for Christmas. You told me to 'fry the sucker'. From that day on 'frahd suckers' -- Southern accent and all -- have become proverbial among the AdrianII's.

A huge bowl of brown basmati rice with cheese and Brussels Sprouts, a murderous amount of hot peppers, a can of sardines dumped on top, and plain yogurt poured around the sardines.

You are kidding. :san_shocked:

Dead serious. Often it was a can of salmon dumped on top, but always a stainless dog food bowl full of rice, veggies, cheese, hot peppers, and yogurt on top. (Always had good bread on the side.) I ate this at least five nights a week for years. The crazy thing is I never got tired of it. I looked forward to dinner every single night. I probably had it for breakfast three or four times a week as well. It was healthy, that's for sure.

It was my buddy across the street who called it "Food of the Gods". I think it's all he ever saw me eat.

This is easy and goes best with Indian or other Asian food.

In a small skillet, get some oil nice and hot. Once it's ready, give it a good dose of lemon juice and throw in some of those dried red chilis you can buy at the Asian market. Usually they'll come out black when they're done.

If you like hot food, I swear this thing tastes magical along side your favorite curry.

Lemur

12-11-2005, 06:47

When nobody's looking, I cook up quesadillas with thin slices of jalapeño peppers. The hotter the better. Lots of oil and heat turns the concoction into a near-fried experience. Two of them will set your mouth on fire.

Not really food of the gods, more food of the lazy dad.

Hey, you asked. Wasn't it the point of the thread?

Try it without the sardines then, but put the high-fat 10% plain yogurt on top of the rice and hot peppers. Guaranteed you'll love it.

Got another one to go with the manx kippers.

two slices of buttered bread, bacon (not the american crispy stuff) and scrambled eggs.

but the bacon on one slice of bread, the eggs on another and join them together for a tasty, if literally heart stopping, treat.

And i urge you to try the kippers! BTW Beirut, that recipe you said sounds delicious!

Fragony

12-11-2005, 15:16

Well this one will make you look like a true master, even if you can barely boil an egg.

buy good olive oil.
Buy real parmazzan cheese.
Buy fresh garlic.
Buy fresh spaghetti, dried works as well, fresh is ussualy better with
creamy sauses but it works great here.

Cut 5, yes 5! pieces of garlic in tiny pieces. Boil spaghetti. Throw garlic in oil. Warm up oil, and make sure the garlic keeps it's color. Throw spaghetti in oil, and stir.

serve with flocks of parmazzan cheese, and a bitter (rucolla sp?)salad with baked pinethreethingies and balsimmico(sp?) vinigar + oil.

It looks and tastes great, and it is a good way of cashing the cheque because you are the only available option because of atrocious use of garlic.

I've made a soup before - two of my flatmates are American, so there was a turkey carcass leftover recently.

I decided to have a little play, ended up making about a gallon of turkey soup. Which none of them deigned to try. It was gorgeous though... warming, thick, greasy...

Perhaps if I hadn't told them I was making it up as I went along...

The Perfect Ham, Cheese and Tomato Sandwich with English Mustard:

Fresh bread, don't butter the bread but instead spread a little English Mustard on each slice. Layer with thick ham (prferably with as little fat as possible), then at least four thick slices of fresh crunchy tomato (not cherry tomatoes, please). The cheese is next, and it must be rich and creamy. Wensleydale or mature cheddar (or both) on top of the tomato. Finish with a small leaf or two of lettuce for extra crunch, season with a little salt and pepper and put the second slice on top. Cut with one diagonal cut from corner to corner, and arrange with crisps and light side salad, depending on taste (I don't like rocket or red lettuce, so just a few lettuce leaves and a couple of cucumber slices is fine for me). Serve with a light fresh fruit juice (apple and mango is a favourite), or white wine in summer.

Simple but complicated and oh so delicious. Makes a great light lunch or generous snack.

Apologies. That is what I make myself when I'm alone, but no it isn't disgusting at all.

I am, however, partial to packets of Super Noodles and cans of cheap All-Day Breakfast (basically a cheapo can of baked beans with slices of potato, bacon and sausage and little 'Scotch egg' things in it that you just smack in a pan and stir) on toast. And the rest of the house seems to think those are pretty disgusting!

EDIT - oh, and obscenely greasy bacon sausage and egg toasted sandwiches too.

As you can see, when I'm making myself lunch I like it to take longer to eat than to prepare...

I second haggis. Especially the day after you first cooked it, fried to reheat.

Also kidneys fried with spanish paprika and lime juice, on toast. An ideal supper for one.

When I was at Uni I used to eat quite a lot of crisp sandwiches, prawn cocktail flavour, using the cheapest 19 p white bread from the co-op. As the rest of my diet was pot noodles and Newcastle Brown and my teeth didn't fall out I can only assume that between the ages of 18 and 22 human males have the ability to synthesise their own vitamin C.

Put a can of Baked Beans in tomato sauce on a flat plate. Put in a few cheapo sausages, then pour 2 raw eggs on top, then put some Cheddar cheese (red) on top of the tomatoes. Then balance the mixture into the microwave, maximum power, for 2 minutes.

When I'm alone during the summer, I'll probably just grab a few crickets from my overgrown lawn, saute them with some cheese sauce and mushrooms and eat them.

In the winter, I'll make macaroni and cheese and mix it with beef stroganoff for a weird, decadent taste.

I eat lizards, plain and simple.

A local creature we call the Dhab, is what i usually hunt when out, of course i'm a bit eccentric from the rest of the hunters, becuase after i fry the poor bugger, i put ketchup on it :san_grin: tastes good with iranian bread (might be hard to chew and swallow though)

I usually do that totally alone, and its tasty. I kid you not.

EDIT: Goat brains and eyes, also happen to be tasty, the former fried, the latter boiled. I make a sheep tongue sandwich occasionaly when i buy them from the local butcher.

Do you remove the intestines and the innards when fry the lizard? Also, how big is the lizard? :san_lipsrsealed:

To prepare it for eating, the lizard is skinned, cleaned (have intestines removed, you can eat the kidney, liver and heart though), have the bones removed (if you prefer), then fry it.

There is another way though, like just gutting it removing the intestines and frying it with the skin, some beduins like to use filling so they put tomato juice, raisins and goats meat when the intestines have been removed.

The Lizards size goes up to a maximum of 45 cm.

EDIT: if you fried the lizard with its skin, prepare a skinning knife with that fork.

Leet Eriksson

12-14-2005, 19:59

To everyone else thanks for the compliments :san_grin: :san_laugh:

I forgot to provide the recipes for the brains and eyes:

The brains could be bought seperatly, and they can be boiled or fried. The eyes though you cannot, the way to prepare the eyes is very simple, after you boil goats meat, the water becomes "meat water" add some salt to the water and a bit of oil, then put the goats head in it, after about a while (wait till the meat of the goats head turns dark brown) the eyes should be ready to be eaten with the head!

As for the tongues:

When buying tongues, have your butcher clean it, otherwise cut the extras (fat, and whatever blood veins dangling from it) preparing it via boiling using the former meat water procedure.

You can then enjoy it as a sandwich or with rice.

And what does it taste like?

Thanks :san_laugh:

eating eyes is popular, in mongolia they eat goat eyes too, also beduin kids enjoy it as a snack after lunch (or an appetizer before the main dish).

The eyes tastes like chicken :san_wink: ~;p

Hmm... just made something a bit peculiar.

Perfectly normal ingredients, just a bit odd.

New potatoes, started boiling them as normal. Then decided to fry some bacon with some garlic, then shred it. Boiled a couple of eggs too. Cut up an avocado. Added it all together, then got the masher out.

Looks kinda like a refuse heap. Tastes good though.

To prepare it for eating, the lizard is skinned, cleaned (have intestines removed, you can eat the kidney, liver and heart though), have the bones removed (if you prefer), then fry it. I thought it was really small, (i.e. like tiny fishes and shrimp that you can fry and eat with innards intact).

There is another way though, like just gutting it removing the intestines and frying it with the skin, some beduins like to use filling so they put tomato juice, raisins and goats meat when the intestines have been removed. Lizard with stuffing! :san_grin:

The Lizards size goes up to a maximum of 45 cm. Let me see. 4.53 cm is about 1 inch. So ~10 inches. That's quite large, I was thinking, small as an anchovy.

I wonder, how did someone ever find out that you can eat eyes????? Technically, you can eat anything as long it is edible (digestible) and nontoxic/nonpoisonous (in right amounts). :san_laugh:

AdrianII, a very tasty way of serving a ham or gammon joint is to cook it first in coca-cola for 2-3 hours. I do this in my slow cooker. Then I remove the skin and score the fat with a knife before rubbing in English Mustard, patting on brown sugar and finishing it off in the oven. I serve this with eggs or add it to mushy peas - a Lancashire delicacy!

Got this recipe from a Nigella Lawson TV cookery programme

Goofball's American/Indonesian-style spaghetti:

1. Cook way more spaghetti noodles than any civilized person would ever eat in a single sitting. Drain and set aside.

2. Fry one cup sliced mushrooms until soft. Set aside.

3. Grate a whole crap load of cheddar cheese. Set aside.

4. Put spaghetti noodles in large, microwave-safe serving bowl.

5. Stir in: fried mushrooms, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup tomato sauce (I prefer plain Ragu, but to each his own), and 4 tablespoons Sambal Oelek.

6. Cover the top of the spaghetti with cheddar cheese.

7. Microwave the whole mess on "high" for 3 minutes until cheese is melted and gooey.

8. Cut spaghetti with knife and fork so no damn "twirling" will be required.

9. Sprinkle liberally with parmesan cheese.

10. Sit and eat the whole mess right out of the serving dish, then feel shame because you have just eaten way more food in one sitting than any normal person ever would.

11. Put a roll of toilet paper in the freezer because you're going to need it after all of that Sambal Oelek works its way through you...

You double-crossing French pantomime! What do you think this is, the Common Agricultural Policy forum? Tartiflette is not disgusting at all and you know it. Maybe if you use ham instead of lard, replace the reblochon by mozzarella, hold the salt... nah, that still won't make it repugnant.

For Christ's sakes, have you seen the competition? Pilav Beirut with sardines on top? Boiled goat's eyes? Go wash you mouth and come back with some Parisian perv recipe for raw frog legs on toast or something.

The nerve... :san_embarassed:

Never said Tartiflette was disgusting. It's just that if I could, I would eat Tartiflette or Gratin Dauphinois every day, and people (mainly my friends and my family) think eating Tartiflette 24/7 *is* disgusting.
