The food thread

Disclosure:

I am getting untold fame, riches and stuff by posting this thread. I got marriage proposals from thirty hot chicks in this forum so far [And two guys ].

 

I just ate a couple of Peruvian 'Fare Trade' bananas. That's what the sticker said anyway. The Peruvian bananas were pretty good. Much better than the the Eucadorian or Colombian. Very sweet.

 

I ate fried rice

 

Images from google images or images taken from our own cam?

 

Some of us are smarter than you think. For everyone else, there is Google.

That looks nasty! What is it??

Wow. You beat my record.

 

Thanks, man. My wife described my work as haute cuisine, but I guess I don't consider it so. It's just always been my thing to just do whatever I could to master fundamentals and simplicity - in other words, I wanted my food to scream the season at hand, and a simple, though intensely rigorous preparation, and to marry my food with my wife's wine program, which was extremely well thought out.

I very much wanted people to have this new experience, and we did whatever we could to make people feel like this was a living room of friends, not a "temple" of cuisine. I'm glad we gave some people this experience.

@Bogart: Interesting on Catalan. I am very "southern" in my French orientation, really, and am fascinated by the linguistic and cultural history of Languedoc. I've a collection of ancient music from the period of the area's heyday, some of it, pilgrimage chants entirely in Provençal.

 

Some people have weird ideas of what food is.
Deep fried cockroaches, anyone?

Relaaax! I'm happy as long I can discuss what I eat

You said untold fame and riches, but you just told us didn't ya?

 

this thread is amking me hungey..Thai Food for me...

 

Thai food is great. I should dig up my Thai cookbook to list my favourite recipes.

Like Tom Yum Pla, which i think this is.

 

Looks...watery and unappetizing.

 

I like Thai Food too, especially Pattaya Rice

 

Added some more choco cakes

 

With no disrespect, it looks like rolled-up cardboard.

 

An ice cream from Cornetto

 

a) I have never gotten up in the middle of the night to eat...for one, I eat too much as it is before I go to bed!
b) when I eat I get hot, hot + sleep = not a good combo

I've posted some these before (in NP's old thread in fact)

a culinary conference I was privileged to attend a couple of years ago:
