have any of you tried hakarl? SPeaking of Bizarre Foods.

Yes.

It wasn't as bad as I was expecting... it tasted much more like some weird industrial cleaning product than what you'd think rotten shark is like. And since I have a decent amount of experience with relaxed industrial chemical precautions, I've built up a slight resistance to weird stuff in my mouth.

I'd tell you to get your head out of your arse, but that would be needlessly inflammatory as well as counterproductive.

That's sig material.

I wouldn't mind going vegitarian as long as I could still eat sea food and fri stuff in animal oil and eat steak on occasions
It'd probably be very good for my terrible eating

Spoiler: "Poutine", or, in medical terminology, "Acute Cholesterol Poisoning". 100% from scratch. (click to show/hide)

My GF and I made poutine. French fries and cheese curds covered in gravy. Just as deliciously terrifying as it sounds. We made everything from scratch - cheese from milk, gravy from roux and stock, and of course, fried the potato. And hey! It can easily be vegetarian!



So, the curdmaking was fairly simple. 2L Whole Milk, 750mL buttermilk. Heat to 80C, add a splash of lemon juice. The cheese will curdle. Strain, knead, and compress.



French fries. Sliced, ice-bathed, dried, and double-fried.




I forgot to take any gravy pictures. Roux takes focus.

Plate the whole thing in a casserole dish. Broil until the cheese curds are golden brown and everything is toasty hot. Serve.

So that's what that looks like
Nice

[Sirus]

Gravy. Ugh.

I think poutine would sound so much better if it weren't for that scourge of food everywhere.

[Rose]

How do you make gravy? Anybody know a good vegetarian recipie?

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

I doubt the recipe I know would be vegitarian

[acetech09]

How do you make gravy? Anybody know a good vegetarian recipie?

My gravy was simply beef stock and roux. Replace with vegetable stock and you're golden, both in color and food ideology?

Ever tried homemaking it?

I think most veal connoisseurs would disagree.

The reason veal is veal is because the muscles of the calf don't develop, requiring it to be chained down. You will not get the same texture, otherwise.

I feel like a site that uses the term compassion and then promotes certain types of veal is mis-labelled.

I mean, I guess if you slaughtered the calf immediately, you could get the desired result. I don't know.

Cruelty-free meat is ultimately a misnomer. You have to accept that, if you want to eat meat, cruelty is going along with it. Even halah practices kill the animal by bleeding it, which is a terrifying process for the animal. It is not a nice way to go out. There are worse ways (such as some ranchers hanging pigs to kill them.) I just wouldn't call the practices humane or compassionate.

It begs the question, why eat veal at all if you are thinking about the suffering of the animal? It's kind of a weird desire. But when people say they only eat "humanely-sourced" meat, it's a little ridiculous. That's a big industry. You can't do that kind of thing on even a moderate scale without it becoming successively less and less about the life quality of the animals involved.

Well, unless you provide otherwise, I'll go with the sources I've found on what's veal or not. And for saying you don't know, it does explain the different kinds of veal... so yeah. I suppose you could find out and make a more informed decision. 'S what I did.

The cruelty free meat people seem to be trying to minimise any suffering, so it doesn't really seem something to scoff at, really.

I made some foods from vidia games

[majikero]

TELL ME THE SECRETS OF THAT BEEF BOWL.

[Knit tie]

So today I ate some homemade yoghurt as a departure treat. It was surprisingly nice.

[timferius]

Man, pulled pork is super easy if you have a crock pot, and SO GOOD.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

Have you tried crockpot Kalua pork?

[timferius]

Nope. What's Kalua pork?
