Culinary fascism II

[Adrian II]

I'm home alone.

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.

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 eat a biscut sandwhich complete with egg suasuge and American captilist cheese

[Adrian II]

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.
So there.

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.

Food of the Gods.

You are kidding.

[Beirut]

You are kidding.

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.

If I can avoid eating a fish for the rest of my life I think I will

I mostly eat Raman Noodles, or eat out.

[Adrian II]

Dead serious.

I see. I didn't want to seem rude or anything. And it must be healthy, no doubt about it. It started out sounding more or less tasty too, until you got to the sardines and yoghurt on top.

Sorry.

[Proletariat]

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.

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.

Three Words...

Manx. Smoked. Kippers.

in the words of our esteemed moderator. Food of the Gods.

[Sasaki Kojiro]

I eat all my food cold, cooking stuff is overrated.

[Kaiser of Arabia]

Squid.

[Adrian II]

Squid.

Raw?

[Kaiser of Arabia]

Raw?

Fried mainly. Raw's ok too I guess.

[Goofball]

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...

[Adrian II]

4 tablespoons Sambal Oelek

Love the stuff. Thai hosts always invite me to take a bite off one of them spicy dried peppers, wink-wink, snigger-snigger, guffaw. After I swallow two or three without so much as touching my beer, we're in business.

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

Hammer meets nail. You only twirl the stuff to impress new girlfriends or Italian extortionists.

It's the farts you should worry about. Tricky buggers.

[DemonArchangel]

Gee, and I thought foot long boiled waterbugs with its marshmallow sized eggs were disgusting.
