Drunken noodles
Ingredients
300g chicken mince
375g wide rice noodles
4 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp minced garlic
2-4 minced red chillies
1/4-1 tsp chilli powder (depending on how hot yours is)
1/2 tsp white pepper
3 kaffir lime leaves, julienned
1/2 cup sliced carrots
1/2 onion, sliced
1/2 cup baby corn (I don't usually bother and add more broccolini or Asian greens)
1 cup Chinese broccoli/broccolini
1/2 cup holy basilSauce
60ml fish sauce
30ml sweet soy (ABC sauce)
25ml Golden Mountain sauce
60ml oyster sauce
3 tsp sugarDirections
Soak rice noodles for 1 hour in cool water. Drain.
Heat wok to medium, add 2 tbsp oil, add garlic and chillies and stir.
As garlic begins to brown, add meat, cook 1-2 minutes.
Add chilli powder and white pepper, stir in for 1 minute.
Add lime leaves, then add each vegetable one at a time, cooking around 1 minute each. Add broccoli/broccolini last, stir in, add a splash of water and cover until broccoli softens slightly, usually around 2 minutes. Remove lid and let remaining water cook out.
Transfr everything from wok into a bowl, wipe wok clean, and bring back up to high heat.
Add 2 tbsp oil and add noodles stirring like crazy 1-2 minutes. Noodles will soften and start to stick, keep moving as vigorously as you can.
Add meat and veg back to wok and pour in sauce, cooking and stirring 1-2 minutes.
Add basil and turn off heat.
Serve with deep fried basil leaves if you can be bothered with the extra effort.- Keep 'em coming.palimpsest
- Well, hello there.
Out of curiosity, though: why both minced fresh chillies *and* chilli powder?Continuity - @Continuity different kinds of heat sensation, the fresh chillies give a punchy tasty sort of heat, the very fine chilli powder has a more long drawn out heatBuddhaHat
- and it sticks around a bit longer. Good question, I had to think about that for a bit.BuddhaHat
- Aaaah, well it makes sense to me!Continuity
- When making Indian food I always bloom whole spices in the beginning and add them ground later. Not sure it makes a diff but it feels like it.palimpsest

K, I had a decade-long-ish break from frozen spinach, but now I'm back on again and can categorically state that, where cooked, frozen > fresh.
So much joy to be had from a pan filled with olive oil, garlic, lemon, salt and frozen spinach. So fucking simple. So fucking good.
Never mind that it comes pre-shrunk.
- Nowt wrong with frozen spinach. A great accompaniment to all manner of roasted chicken, too.Continuity
- Frozen peas are the tits as well. Way better than canned and i’m not about to shell 600 of the fuckersscarabin
- For budget and convenience I also do green beans, it's so easy to chuck a handful in a wok of basil chicken or a green chicken curry. Half the price of fresh.BuddhaHat
- I'll concede that fresh beans are crunchier and more enjoyable when lightly cooking.BuddhaHat
- +1 for tactical frozen veg, but the freezer's full of shelled peas and broad beans as they're good and everywhere at the mo. I should get out more.MrT
- Kids love fresh baby spinach in salads and gozleme etc but won't eat frozen spinach as it tastes too 'green'.slappy
- But when we're talking salad, fresh spinach takes the cakestoplying

I was in a shop the other day and the person in there was eating a pizza. As hungry as I was, I stood for a second transfixed by it, before snapping out of my hungry reverie. I saw the box and was surprised to see it was from Greggs. Huh. It smelt ok.
So, just now on the way in I thought I'd buy one as an appetizer before my main lunch and JESUS FUCK IT'S AWFUL. I mean, of course it is, but what fat-ass focus group did they try this super sweet shit on? It's beyond fucking sweet! Why won't these cunt desist from swapping out salt for sugar in their krap produkt to hit whatever government salt target it is this season?
Awful. I don't know why I'd think otherwise.
.
Also, why don't Greggs do cheese savoury sandwiches any more? When I lived in Newcastle, a cheese savoury stottie was one of the lower layers in my personal food pyramid.

- Have you tried those Subway pizza's Nairn? Much softer bread. Could do with 8 seconds longer in the grill/oven, but they're not as gross as Gregg'sIanbolton
- fun fact... I've never had greggs, only had subway once, kfc once, burger king once, mc d's about 5 times max. It's all shit.shapesalad
- Eat shit, look like shit - and hence the state of this countries population...shapesalad
- Where was the fun fact there? All I see is the usual litany of self-satisfied whingery that you think promotes a perception of superiority. It doesn't.Nairn
- You come across as a timid shrew fearful of the world and others and entirely unable to own the sort of self-confidence that doesn't give a shit about others.Nairn
- The fact you're about my age makes this doubly pathetic - it's the sort of behaviour of early twentysomethings, fumbling their way around the world.Nairn
- But hey, you own your misery.
It's yours alone.Nairn - Stay in your lane, Shape. It's rather narcissistic to believe 'if everyone does what I do, the world would be much better'. I'd hate to live in that worldIanbolton

My mexican friend told me she never had burrito in Mexico. It's not a thing there. I need to take her to chipotle to teach her her culture(jk)Is burrito American invention? Lol
- burritos are more "tex-mex", not a thing really in Mexico City for example :)rzu-rzu
- Surely gotta be same kind of thing as the westernised food chinese takeaways do. No one in china eats sweet n sour chicken or lemon chicken.microkorg
- WHAT! Next you’ll be telling me that Mexico dosen’t have the Spicy Doritos Gordita Crunch Fries!!!nb
- Pizza in Italy is made to please the US tourists, they think the "regular" pizza is how pizza is made by no, pizza pizza is not regular pizza!grafician
- Next you'll tell us you had no idea real tacos aren't made from pre-formed dried yellow corn chi ... err, 'tortillas'.Continuity
- NB. I don't even know what that is. Lol I don't buy snacks muchpango
- grafican. that i know.
continuity. im genuinely surprised by burrito lolpango - Traditional American cuisine doesn’t include the Big Mac Snack Wrap. It’s called innovation look it upnb
- “Burrito” implies the existence of a larger, more ominous, “El Burro”scarabin
- y, I can't imagine mexicans eating those monster burritos that americans eat.Beeswax
- lol scarabinNairn
- Some regions do have traditional burritos, but they're smaller and just beans and a meat. What Americans know as a burrito is Mission-style, massive and loaded.garbage
- Mission-style referring to the Mission district of San Francisco, and has absolutely no relation to Mexico, garbage.monospaced
- In Mexico, if it's wrapped in a tortilla, it's just a taco, and even those aren't as ubiquitous as one might think. I've spent LOTS of time in Mexico.monospaced
- No idea what you're on about, because I literally typed "What Americans know as a burrito is Mission-style". Big fucking duh it's from California.garbage
- And burritos absolutely are a thing in Mexico. My best friend growing up was a first-gen immigrant from Mexicali BC, and I spent LOTS of time at their house.garbage
- It's regional, and Vieja would definitely say your take is myopic, then she'd probably smack you with a wooden spoon, then serve a simple, delicious burrito.garbage
- Or make you kill one of the chickens in the yard for pozole verde. Just saying you're not right on this one.garbage
- https://thumbs.gfyca…pango
- ^ lol pangz, save your popcorn for the real drama maniacs. Mono was just wrong, Mexican burritos are a thing, originating in the northern states.garbage
- lol well what you said could be true. my friend is from Xalapa. but at the same time, i dont know much about mexican culture. you can say anything lolpango
- Oh Xalapa is far south, so understandable. Most of my childhood friends that I played soccer with were from border states (BC, Coahilua, Sonora, Chihuaha)garbage

- Chicken, Lemon and Parsley - three of my favouritest things. What's the rest of the recipe? Also - is this yours, pango?Nairn
- lol people kept asking if i made it!
NO FAITH! i thought the same table would have gave it away.pango - chicken was marinated with orange, lemon, lime, worcester sauce, garlic, soy sauce. tabasco sauce.
i use parsley to garnish everything cuz i have too much lol.pango - seared the skin on cast iron then baked for 30+min.pango
- put vegetables like bell pepper, onions, carrots, put chicken over it, cover with more vegetables. sprinkle with herbs and Parmesan, cover with lemon slices.uan
- put olive oil over it...put the dish in oven for 30mins. :)uan
- this looks really deliciousmonospaced
- Reminds me of a citrusy adobo. MMMMMmonospaced
- This fucking thing, every time I scroll through my feed, it just makes me hungry... and now I've bumped it again.
How long did you marinade for?Nairn - My partner's going to roll her eyes when I make this one night she knows I'd just eat shit like this with a side of potatoes Every Fucking Night, if I could.Nairn
- lol
30mins would do. but i did it over night. not intentionally. i started procrastinating then decided to cook it the next day.pango

Just made chicken spinach frittata

- ++neverscared
- Yup it's a 10in lodge pan. Been getting rid of all my none stick coating pans since they all got messed up one way or another.pango
- Once you know how to deal with them they are fairly easy to clean and maintain. And if you messed up, you can always fix it your self.pango
- hard to tell which bits are cat and dog when cooked.uan

Think I'm going to try a homespun variant on this, but no fucking lamb, no fucking reliance on nutmeg only.
I'm kind of thinking that a pork and chicken mince might work here, in a shitload of herbs and spices?
- What have you got against lamb?BuddhaHat
- I lived next to a lamb farm as a kid, and to me the smelltaste is just like sheep shit. Also, my partner doesn't like it.Nairn
- Yeesh settle down I didn't ask for your life story :P just kidding that makes sense.BuddhaHat
- Pork in an Egyptian dish. Oh, no ... flolContinuity
- If it wasn't for such daring cross-cultural pollination, I'd not have my beloved pinchos morunos...Nairn
- Oh. Well, yeah, fair point, that.Continuity
- Wait until you smell pig shit and chicken poop...shapesalad
- I've smelt both, but neither meat tastes of it.Nairn
- You said no fucking lamb like it's the merlot of meats :-)
https://www.youtube.…canoe - I’ve never had lamb that tasted like shit or a farm. Lol.monospaced
- haha, I need to watch that again - love that flick. Although it hits a little close to home sometimes...Nairn
- which part(s)?canoe

what is it?pango - Firkandel!Continuity

- Frikandel speciaalmilfhunter
- so it's like a hot dog but there's no bun and the sausage is sliced open and filled with toppings instead?BuddhaHat
- ^ fried instead of heated in hot waterSimonFFM
- yup can confirm. I eat one of these regularlyCalderone2000
- @Buddha its indeed fried meat. The sauce is curry and mayo topped with raw unions.milfhunter
- I like to alternate this with a Dutch "berenhap" with peanut sauce.stewart
- I can't even to count the number of non-speciaal Frikandel I'd gotten out of a Febo when I was living in Amsterdam. Usually late at night. And drunk.Continuity
- @cont agreed. perfect drunk foodmilfhunter
- What I *didn't* know up until about an hour ago is that the sausage itself is normally made from both half-om-half gehakt and chicken. Interesting.Continuity
- Side note to my side note: the German term for 'half-om-half' is not nearly as interesting: Gemischtes hack. Woo-hoo.Continuity
- oh man I found a place in Toronto, not too far from me going to to first chance I get https://tinyurl.com/…
anything else I should try?_niko - ^ Beef bitterballen. I say again: BEEF BITTERBALLEN. I'm also partial to Snert.Continuity
- @continuity lol those funny germans. i knew it was some sort of mixed meats but never knew it was partly chicken!milfhunter
- @niko Those prices are insane for junkfood. Anyway, you should try the kapsalon as well!milfhunter
- @niko and poffertjes as desert :)milfhunter
- @niko just checked out the pictures on google reviews. Would stick with the bitterballen or kroket together with patatje speciaal.milfhunter

My sister in law gave me a sourdough starter last week, and I tried my first attempt at something using the sourdough discard over the weekend, just a basic rosemary and sea salt foccaccia. I need to fiddle with yeast and olive oil amounts to get a slightly better rise, but it was damn tasty dipped in olive oil with balsamic vinegar.

I just spent EUR 40 on what is supposed to be the best burgers in this part of Italy and... No.
Apparently the fishy one was ok (I wouldn't know, I hate fish) but the beef I bought for myself and the chicken I bought for daughter were both were worse than the most average white you'd get from a third rate kebabery in London.
Never mind the shite frozen dipping fries.
So annoyed. I've here for two weeks and have been continually told how wonderful this place is. It is not.
- I sound like a pleb. Yes, granted. I just get bored of The Same Italian Food over and over and over. Whither vegetables in winter here?Nairn
- Try the pizza next?
Maybe some pasta?
Sushi maybe?
Tacos too?grafician - This is QBN not Tripadvisor... ;-)shapesalad
- it's winter...
how about melanzane alla parmigiana, or a ribollita whatever flavor they like locally?uan - I've eaten a shitload of local food, and Umbrian. Folks in law were having a carry out curry from The Worst curry place I've ever eaten from, so opted for thisNairn
- As I say, it came highly recommended by locals here. They think this shit's good. I could do better not even trying.Nairn
- Open a restaurant there, get rich, never returngrafician
- lol you're eating burgers in Italynb
- Then I went to Thailand and you wouldn't believe it but the tacos were terrible!nb
- @graf - partner comes from a summer town. I keep pitching existing ideas for us to come here and setup some food thing that exists, and works, elsewhere.Nairn
- Work half the year, then fuck off for winter. @nb - the fuckers CAN do good burgers, which are int'l now. Just these ones weren't.Nairn
- I spend about a month or two here every year. Damn me if I fancy a burger once in a while. Have you seen what Italians eat abroad? Clue: it starts with Pasta.Nairn
- Also, there really is a worrying lack of fresh vegetables in use here at this time of year.Nairn
- LOL @ comments...like it wouldn't be possible to get a good burger outside the US or great tacos in Greenland!!!oey_oey
- You're doing it wrong, and you know it... Switch Italy for Basque Country ;)OBBTKN
- flol at a scotsman complaining about the lack of veg. get back to your neeps, jummae!!hans_glib
- I had this same experience in London with an £18 burger that was supposed to be "so amazing". It was not.monNom
- Do you remember where that was, monNom?Nairn
- Did you order in Italian or English?
I know in France this makes a big difference in what you get. Maybe Umbria is the same.uan - My partner ordered, In her local language. We're not in Umbria any more, back down on the coast.Nairn

Tried some of these last night...
I'm a sucker for gimmicks and I appreciated the concept and as a fan of chicken, pork crackling and all things jerky thought "why not?". Well, I'll tell you why not, they were fucking disgusting.
More the flavour on it, which was overwhelmingly strong. I'm not sure how these guys do Sunday Roast normally, but they should stop.
Still, I will try th chili one if I see it. As I say, a sucker...

So the girl decided to give pre-prep meal delivery service a try. Similar to blueapron and hellofresh. Everything is fine and all but then we realised there is a huge potential problem. We don't know what to do with the freezer pack. We're not sure if we can just thaw the pack and pour it down the drain or to recycle it. Seems like most people just dump it in the bin that goes to the landfill. And if you order 2-3 delivery a week, it's going to over take our bin space. And if every pre-prep food delivery service customers dump their freezer pack in the landfill, that is a fuck ton of freezer packs going to the landfill. Equal or more than what's already going there.
Here's an article I found.
https://www.motherjones.com/envi…- solve that problem at industrial level and get rich.uan
- According to the article, biodegradable freezer pack already exist. But no pre-prep meal service uses them.pango
- Chill bro, climate change is inflicted by industrial level pollution and phishing, not by household choices lolgrafician
- < For each person that does this, there's someone else somewhere using totes to shop and buy food wholesale in jars and what notgrafician
- Remember decades ago cigarette brands were recommended by doctors in the US lolgrafician
- ^ as if it's not worth taking personal responsibility, even if corporations refuse to.inteliboy
- ya its a more personal choice kind of thing. i don't go out and preach to everyone to do the same.pango
- Also blueapron has 353,000 customers. If all of them does 3 meals a week, 4 icepacks a week. That's 16,944,000 ice pack per month into the landfill.pango
- And that's just one company. Seems pretty significant.pango
- You're using a prep-meal service.
A bit of self-awareness guess a long way.palimpsest - Many of the ones I got claimed that you could dump it down the drain, or compost the material. Then recycle the bag.doriangrey
- No one is recycling that bag. Just because something is recyclable and does NOT mean it will be recycled. Even if you send it to the recycling facility.nb
- They should use flavored gel in those. Make ‘em ediblescarabin
- don't dump it down the drain. it will clog the pipe. as it is the same kind of absorbent used in baby diaper. it will expend and clog the pipe.pango
- all of these meal delivery things are nothing but wasteful, overpriced shit, and they should be ashamed of itmonospaced
- I remember you used it. I guess we came to the same conclusion.pango
- I never used one directly. But I’ve seen one used. It’s embarrassing.monospaced
- Pure waste. Most ingredients are marked up 400-500% at least. Recipes are pathetic. This is what’s wrong with the world.monospaced

At long last, I have made — and, indeed, eaten — my first Cuban Sandwich. Mojo pork, smoked ham, Emmental cheese, pickles, mustard, smooshed in beautiful pillowy Cuban bread, and (basically) panini-pressed. And yes, the bread is home made, too. I'm not a savage (also, good luck finding Cuban bread in Germany).
For those of you who've also never had one, believe the hype. This shit will knock your cunty socks off.
Bread from Chef John, Mojo Pork from Babish.
