What's On Your Plate - DressedWell Foodie Thread

[ERM]

Recent trip to HK - had a lot of food on my plate

3 course breakfast in hotel!

Fried pork buns (from the cheapest 1 michelin starred restaurant in the world! Tim Ho Wan)

Another breakfast

And various dishes from the rest of the trip

And the grand finale - whole baby suckling pig.

We are lucky to have an actual Cantonese place. It's a bit of a hike from my house, but it's legit. Most Americans have never actually seen real Cantonese cooking. Or Italian for that matter. Or even Mexican.

This! And as you say, no olive oil but pork fat. Pancetta or lardo. But.... no canned tomatoes please.
I once made a photo series of how I make ragú (which I make without milk due to lactose intolerance):

Spoiler: For bolognese freaks only

Why is the pasta not finished/dressed in the sauce?

Oregon deer liver flash cooked medium rare to rare in salted butter:

Now that's interesting. Does deer liver taste any different than cow liver?

 

[LelandJ]

Less gamey, much more subtle, more complex flavors, just way ahead of it. Deer's best land animal liver I've ever had, even better than goat liver. Of course wild animals will always taste better. Need to find out if another friend caught (or survived) any wild hogs with recurve bow arrow (!) this past weekend.

Because it makes a better looking photo. I like posing for staged 'fit pics' too.

Are you telling me you have never ever been to Tropical Chinese? Owned of course by the Chinese mafia! Old lady that I keep seeing for the last 5 years still paying her airfare! ololo

Amuse bouche, "west coast" clam chowder - does that mean you get prepackaged crackers? and walleye on potato hash with bacon. When you order "walleye", do you immediately think "breaded walleye" or "fried walleye".



I lost weight on this diet. Gin martinis, crisps and the odd canapé.

I'm trying to look for other intelligible photographs but I seem to have none so that meant the nights I went on a bender weren't photographed (door to my flat was open one morning) or I had to dash and walk out on a cheque.

 

[Fwiffo]

Blast from the past..when I actually ate, and was fat. Vodka martini was in an old fashioned glass.

Interesting presentation. I used to use a similar spoon when I was banging heroin.

Walleye is best et lightly battered & fried in a cast iron skillet over a fire or portable stove as a shore lunch post-catching it.

But it also lends itself well to pan searing because it tends to be a thick fillet. Salt, pepper &lemon and whatever other spices you wish. You can also make a pan sauce. Remove the fillet and deglaze with white wine, butter, lemon. Add some capers. Simple.

I also like to do it without a sauce and instead a sauté of sweet corn and hot and mild peppers. A tasty dish which also allows you to assess your passage time.

That was actually lunch. Probably another plate of oysters and another martini. And then back to the office...

As much as I love oysters I have to protest this pic. What the fuck is a martini doing in an old fashioned glass? Is nothing sacred???

They use the same glass for manhattans. This is mainly an oyster bar with a few seafood entrees. It's a small space that seats, I'd reckon, 30 at the most including bar stools.

 

[fxh]

Yeah what's with using a junkie spoon in a restaurant?

 

[Fwiffo]

That's the utensil you get for lunch entrees in their 20s.

 

[Arnathor]

This little food is pissing me off.

 

[Fwiffo]

White bean and root vegetable ragout


Poboy (bream?)


Tom yum soup


Khao soi noodle with beef


Roast beef brisket and greek salad


Beef tongue poutine


Some kind of salad with duck egg, and goose prosciutto

 

[Grand Potentate]

Tongue poutine?

 

[Fwiffo]

Tongue poutine?

It was at a bar on the 54th floor of a financial district office tower. You have to differentiate yourself from the pubs and bars below.

I like beef tongue. I never had it in a poutine though.

 

[fxh]

goose prosciutto
.

I know who is the goose.

 

[LelandJ]

Chef's probably a recovering addict.

 

[prince nez]

Had sautéed lobster in a fried bread roll yesterday... Fucking amazing.

On the downside, the wifi is pretty patchy in this part of the cardiac ward.

 

[Fwiffo]

I had to look that up. It was the only thing on the menu that had leaves which is what she wanted.

 

[Fwiffo]

Grilled cheese and chips



Pad gra grow



Margherita pizza from my favourite Napoli certified place.

Now that's interesting. Does deer liver taste any different than cow liver?

But there is cow liver and there is cow liver. Veal, for instance - the most palatable of livers i have tasted, including deer- is miles ahead of cow's liver.

i eat only fat liver. prefer goose over duck.

I haven't had humane foie gras before but monkfish liver is considered the sea equivalent of it. Oh do I miss it.

Osso bucco. Bought some cheap pork shanks, browned them in bacon fat, then sauteed cherry tomatoes, onions, garlic, lemon, and celery in the drippings and threw in half a bottle of Chardonnay, some salt, and red pepper flakes. Cooked it in a covered Dutch oven for four hours at 325, pureed the sauce, and served it over whole-wheat pasta cooked in chicken stock with saffron.

I killed and ate so much goat on a deployment that I now have an aversion to lamb. Just the smell puts me off.
