The Food Thread

I’m convinced at this point that you can cook anything under the sun using a crock pot and an air fryer.

Since recently discovering my love for Thai boat noodles, I've decided to try and branch out and try as many other southeast Asian noodle soup dishes as I can (outside of Pho, I don't mind it but I've always found it a bit bland/boring)

Today I'm having some Vietnamese Bun Rieu, pig blood curds and all

Yay or Nay?

I know I was just talking about eating congealed pigs blood but that ones gonna be a no from me

What's more Italian than Olives in Mortadella??

 

[JasonE]

Yay or Nay?

I am someone that is okay with this...

 

[FuzzyAce]

Yay or Nay?

 

[Allexi]

Yay or Nay?

uhhh! Yay 100%. Panino con mortadella (or with prosciutto crudo) is what I used to have at local small panetteria before school in my young days.

I'm getting flashbacks from when I was a kid. I've had many a sandwich with that meat.

That's straight up barf fuel

It gets such a bad reputation, not sure why?
Kinda like the fruitcake of cakes.

It's not even an American bastardization. It's like an actual Italian food group and shit.



Maybe that's why some are so averse while they go and plug up yet another Taco Bell toilet
with superior foodie turds.

I've been staying a lot with my Moms and Pops. Stepdad is on Hospice care and my Mom has
been his primary caregiver for the past 18 months or so. Been going out to hang as much as
I can. Yesterday she wanted to make some Fluffy Dinner Rolls. Sure. Why not?

I did all the work. She supervised.

They turned out freaking fantastic. Like steamy little pillows of goodness.

I am immune, JT!

I hope no one takes my playful jabs seriously, or with any kind of ill intent. There's
some serious and grave shit in all of our lives and Pickle Loaf doesn't even register.

And thanks. I appreciate it. I have the evening off to go jam with my buddies.... minus
Downsouth Dave who bailed after 2 straight weeks of showing up. We all poked him in
the group text and he didn't take it very well at the outset. Still getting to know us I suppose.

Haha! I just scored a new to me Japanese Cookbook and will be fermenting some unique things
here in short order. Yes, some Kombu, Nori, and Soy drenched Eggs will be involved.

I am trying a little fermenting. I have a jar of habanero peppers fermenting to make hot sauce with. I am still unsure how to make it shelf stable once I blend it all up and filter it out. I need to research that a bit more. I have thought about trying some other things and even making some of my own vinegar.
