    If you're in Britain and like steak, go to Aldi and get their 'Wagyu' steaks. Fucking brilliant. Much better than any other thing I've had from any other supermarket. Cunts like hans_glib and their posh butchers will probably be a different matter. But M&S, Waitrose, Sainsburys offerings? Nup, they pale in comparison to this shit.

    • And as much as I fucking love ^chimichurri, all these fuckers need is a little salt and to be properly cooked. De-lish-us.Nairn
    • OK, not a 'little' salt. Just the amount of salt that you want. Probably a bit more than 'a little'.Nairn
    • A good portion of that salt stays in the pan anyway. So, yeah ... better a bit more than just a little.Continuity
    • Well, you need to dry the steaks with a first salt scrub on both sides, then it gets absorbed, then you need to add more and then you have high blood pressure.Nairn
    • ooh, wasn't aware Aldi did these. Need to check around Leeds. Cheers Nairn.Ianbolton
    • interesting, off to Aldi soon. Always enjoyed their meat over other supermarkets, will be checking these out.fadein11

    Visited NY last week and went to Peter Luger Steakhouse.
    It was a good steak but not worth the price.

    • How much was it?palimpsest
    • 3x Steak
      1x Salad
      1x Fries
      4x Beer
      2x Prosecco
      -------------------
      Total: 390 dollars
      milfhunter
    • This is the way. XDpalimpsest
    • Beers where even more insane. Ive once paid 30 dollars for 3 beers.milfhunter
    • Not a fan of t-bone, but looks good :)Gnash
    • 30$ for 3 beers? Laughs in Czech.palimpsest
    • I've seen that place before (on the internets, obv) - is it any good? I was under the impression "it might've been, but thirty years ago"?Nairn
    • @Nairn its good but overrated. Nothing special, you pay too much for a decent steak.milfhunter
    • I concur. Also, I can't stand how they pre-slice it into those sections. If I'm paying $100 for a steak, I'll take it in 1 piece please.monospaced
    • They have an appetizer on the menu called "onions and tomatoes" and it costs at least $20. It's JUST thick sliced raw onion and tomato. that's it. FUCK thatmonospaced
    • A $10 beer is normal though at a restaurant or bar.monospaced
    • @mono i know about the beer prices being like this everywhere in the city, and that is still fucked up. 3,60 is what you pay in The Netherlands.milfhunter
    • I feel the same way about places like Sparks steak house, they make a killing no pun intended off of tourists falling for that old mob mystique_niko
    • I’ve never been but I assume it’s overpriced and mediocre so I avoid it, but I could be wrong, maybe it’s great..._niko
    • This place is legendary, like it or not. And aren't all steakhouses overpriced?stoplying
    • @stoplying agreed, it had some michelin stars in the past so it is def. good food but again overpriced.milfhunter
    • $30 for beer?!

    Mamá Pali made some bass ceviche for Mrs. Pali's bday yesterday. I tried making my own version but mamma knows best.


    No jalapeño, because we still don't fucking grow jalapeño in Peru.

    Crispiest roasted potatoes i’ve ever had. https://www.seriouseats.com/the-…

    This pile started out much, much bigger

    • Also, that vegan mayo is dead easy. Tbsp each of lemon juice, vinegar, ground mustard, garlic. Blend w 1/2 cup soy milk, and emulsify with 1 cup oilscarabin
    • they look amazing, do they use the baking soda trick?
      and do you use like a vitamix for the mayo, or just a stick blender?
      BuddhaHat
    • Yeah, baking soda + russets. For emulsions i use a lil cheapo ninja blender with an opening in the lid for drizzling in oil. Works like magic!scarabin
    • I like to take that mayo and whirl in a few chipotle peppers. Keep it in a squeeze bottle and put it on everything

    • Kenji's roast potato method is my go-to. This man can do no wrong.Continuity
    • The vegan mayo is interesting, I'd no idea soy milk can be used in emulsions instead of eggs. I should tell my mum about this, she's veggie.Continuity
    • they use baking soda for meat as well at chinese restaurants. makes them more tender. i gotta try it.pango
    • Just be careful who much you use, pango - it can quickly make beef end up with a weird slimy texture and taste like soap.Nairn
    • A half teaspoon per pound is ample, and you don’t let it marinade for more than half an hour. That helps avoid the slimy overly soft results.monospaced
    • @continuity yeah! It works really well https://www.ncbi.nlm…

    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

    What recipe/dish do you love to cook, love to eat?

    And, do any of you write your own recipes?

    I started a thread called Creative Kitchen where I was attempting for foodies that know how to cook to buy the same ingredients, try something new and learn throughout the process. We should get that going - every other week?

    • Long list here... Paellas, meat, fish and vegetables in bbq or parrilla the most. But it is difficult to choose a favorite recipe or ingredient!OBBTKN
    • No favorite recipe here, when I was a vegetarian I loved vegetarian English breakfast as lunch. And love vegan feijoada both the Portuguese and Brazilian onesoey_oey
    • I rarely use a recipe unless there's someone invited for dinner, but I can share some in that thread, like asparagus soup topped with pistachios...oey_oey
    • yumcanoe
    • Oh fuck, where do I start. Tacos of all sorts, ramen of all sorts, boeuf bourguignon, carbonara, tortilla de patatas, spaghetti aglio e olio, the list goes on.Continuity
    • I’m down if it’s not meat-centric every timescarabin
    • Actually scratch that, i can just fashion a veg analogue for any meat ingredientsscarabin
    • That's cool you get a veg box, we're doing that this summer also. We've had them before and you're right, challenging, and educational.canoe
  • scarabin10

    Some shots found on my phone. Mostly meal prep stuff i took to work.

    I like techniques rather than recipes, so i can make up stuff on the spot. I get a veggie box delivered and sometimes some of the stuff just stumps me. It pays to be flexible.

    Sorry in advance to photo guys, i never meant these for viewing :)

    Well, look: I've never had tacos al pastor before — much less the real deal from Mexico City — so it's not like I have anything to compare my results with.

    But, this recipe from Serious Eats is astonishing. It's so, so, so delicious. Will absolutely make again, and it's 1000% worth the time it took.

    (Garnished with a bit of salsa verde, onions, coriander, and pineapple roasted in the pork fat.)
