Culinary fascism II

[Fragony]

Ugh! Boiled eyes! Faisal has indeed owned this thread, if there will ever be a nobleprice for eating disgusting stuff then consider yourselve nominated.

I wonder, how did someone ever find out that you can eat eyes?????

And what does it taste like?

Thanks

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

(honestly i can't describe, think of it like beef with fat stuck on it)

[Somebody Else]

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!

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.

Technically, you can eat anything as long it is edible (digestible) and nontoxic/nonpoisonous (in right amounts).

Theoretically you could stuff the lizard with boiled goat's eyes...

Nah, I won't go there. Totally pwned by Faisal.

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

Good eating,
Melmoth

Don't be fooled by the coca cola part... it's actually very tasty...

Actually this sounds very good. Just about every meat can be made tastier by cooking it in beer, so why not in Coke? I think I am going to try this. The joy of having your significant others observe whilst you pour the gurgling, sizzling Coke over your meat -- now that is culinary fascism at its best.

Oh, Ive seen the bemused expressions of my pars when I poured beer into the pot where pork ribs were cooking.... And they were delicious....but then for the next batch I poured Tabasco sauce too and then it was crap...

LOL ... Just be sure to use sugar packed Coke rather than any of that diet stuff.

Apparently you can make a bean soup with the stock and adding lime juice. I had a go and it tasted so awful I had to throw it in the bin.

Nope, generally the bigger the lizard is (the dhab) the better, smaller one are virtually useless.

Hey i might try that

Rice(with any sort of meat, raisins or nuts in the mix) also works greatly as stuffing!

Just fyi



Thats a dhab/dhub.

[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...

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...

[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.

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.

Tartiflatus 7 sur 7? Heh, I take it all back.

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

liver, onions and bell peppers isn't such a bad combination in my opinion...

Like a cell phone? Us woman swallows phone in a spat

[Kralizec]

I'd rather try a dish of boiled eyes then eat a slice of headcheese...
