Foodie Thread

[SacDuc]

Between the cookbook thread and the pots and pans thread it has become apparent that there are some fairly serious foodies on this board. I suppose that is to be expected from a bunch of snobby people who ride $30k bikes. You people probably eat nothing but arugula. Anyway, this is the thread to post up about food, food products, food accessories, what you've been cooking, recommendations, recipes, restaurants and why the things that you like are vastly superior to that crap other people like.

Bon Appetit.

They must figure some viewers are sick of watching endless competitions, travel shows, and such and would rather watch cooking shows.

Food Network has kind of taken the MTV route as far as programming is concerned (although not as extreme).

Personally, I like some of the "newer" shows (i.e. DDD) and competitions (i.e. Iron Chef, Chopped)...but some, like the 1-hour "Chellenge" shows, and Dinner Impossible suck ass. Good Eats is still my all-time favorit on the channel though.

Just did a shrimp and vegetable tempura for lunch using a technique I swiped from Cooking with Ming on public tv.  Made the batter with rice flour and club soda.  Worked real well - no leftovers.

+1 on the  She always wears nice shirts on her Food Network travel show. 


Back on topic...Morimoto's cookbook is really cool. Not an everyday use thing, but tons of great info. on a bunch of thinks like rice and knives...and some really interesting recipes that are very unusual and taste great.

My personal favorite recipe: 1 Package ramen noodle, boil water, add noodles, cook until tender, strain water, add salt packet and enjoy! Helps me save money for the next slew of parts to put on the bike!! That and make sure the bills are paid on the first of the month!! Add a cup of cooked mushrooms and diced chicken if you have a spare three dollars sitting around!!  now time to use the money I saved on  and  [moto]!!

Meh. If I wanted an Italian with big boobs who was a great cook I would have married one.

I prefer what Nigella Lawson has goin' on, Giada's mouth is too huge, like a blue whale engulfing thousands of plankton.


Michael Chiarello has this great recipe for sauteed mushrooms, I am making this tomorrow night to accompany a roast chicken dish.  I've made these numerous times, the aroma's are amazing.

Dammit Dante, you beat me to it.  Nigella is on my top ten "women Id like to pleasure" list.  She makes green peppers sensual.

Could you call Man vs Wild a pseudo cooking show. But then again he doesn't cook his food.
