What I'm having for dinner.

[Ambreen]

The last time I ate animals and fishes was in 2002. I very exactly stoped feeding myself with these poor little things in december 2002, more than six years ago now, wow. Fond of flesh since my early childhood, I suddenly became fond of vegetables, discovering how tasty they can be

I'm one of those "breakfast anytime" people.

And I'm one of those "crisps anytime" people...Yesterday, I ate some on breakfast :D

 

[slimedog]

After giving up meat and fish I realized vegetables were living things, also, so I stopped killing them too. I now mainly exist on Cheez-its and jello.

I'm on a strict chewing gum diet for 25 years now and once I met a tiger in the jungle of Bali. " I would just love to tear you to pieces and feast on your flesh " he said " but I can smell cherry flavoured Wrigley's so you must be the chewing gum guy all wilderness is talking about." He led me deep into the jungle and introduced me to apes and sheep and ... ehm... uhm... the story's done.

Ambreen - By "crisps" do you mean what we Americans call french fries or potato chips ?

Or am I WAY off the mark....?

 

[Bukfan]

Since I don't want to kill animals or vegetables, I now live on a diet of synthetic vitamin pills and water...

errm, you meant to say "Freedom Fries," right?

 

[Gerard K H Love]

I'm thinking about cutting out meat but not all of it. I still like chicken and fish so maybe I'll just cut out animals with ears. I still won't eat a seal though.

 

[slimedog]

Just eat animals that are smaller than you and then you're staying naturally in the food chain.

 

[mjp]

I never eat anything that has a soul, a face, takes a shit, or makes use of photosynthesis. I mostly eat those little Jello pudding cups and Taco Bell.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

You know, they sell pig's ears and they pickle their feet put them in jars set up on the bar.
Bukowski would know about that.

Potato chips !

In french, we also say "chips". I suppose that "crisps" must be only used in UK.

But don't worry, I'm also a big "Freedom (

) fries" lover

 

[number6horse]

Me too. As chips, fries, hash browns, baked, mashed.... is there even a bad way to prepare a potato ? Or is that the Irishman in me talking ?

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Olive oil a tin of anchovies and garlic simmered in a pan. I added some sliced black olives tomato sauce, basil, oregano, black pepper, red pepper flakes and some shallots. Stirred in some red wine a bit of the water from the cooking linguine. Mixed it with the pasta. Mm delicious and easy.

I'm half Irish but give me beer and any kind of potato and I'm happy.

 

[number6horse]

Slimedog - You know what the Irish 7-course meal is, don't you ?

 

[hoochmonkey9]

I know this one. a potato and 6 pints.

mmmmm.

Sláinte.

 

[slimedog]

I knew that one, Number6horse, I'd like 6 potatoes, too.

 

[number6horse]

Somehow, I knew more than one person would answer that one.

 

[CRBSMILE]

YUM!
And I am so proud that all of you spelled potateoe correctly!:confused: Good job!
I do love me a greasy veggie crisp! Who needs ears and snouts?
Though a toasty deep-fried hamster is tempting. CRB:)

 

[number6horse]

Mushroom fried rice with pork, and a piece of garlic bread. Delicious Chicago tap water (pharmaceutical traces included !) over ice to drink.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

I made some pasta salad.
Like this:



Only no meat, just artichoke hearts chopped up, Garlic, oregano, basil, black pepper, sliced olives from the little can, sliced up green pimento olives, sliced up blackish purple deli olives and the juice it came with, juice from a jar of peperoncinis, sliced fresh tomato, parboiled broccoli heads and some thin sliced Italian squash, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and added a tablespoon of something called pizza seasoning. I want to eat some for breakfast, and yes with lemonade.

 

[Black Swan]

curried lentils with big chunks of cauliflower and carrots over brown rice.

Then I had potato chips because I could not stop thinking about them after reading the above posts.:)

Crisps are a must with a good sandwich. You can't beat a bag of Walkers!

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Wow, that bag says "MARMITE". It sounds like the name of a small mammal.

 

[Black Swan]

Gerard, that was a marmote, very cute.
A marmite is a pot in french.

I am going to eat leftovers, east meets the west and we are going to settle this in my kitchen.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

That reminds me, I have to make potato salad. It will be with red potatoes unpeeled.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

I make a mean 'tater salad. Once you've got the potatoes done, add them to (I never measure anything, so do it so it looks right):

mayonnaise
sour cream
German mustard
splash of rice vinegar
chopped red onion
hard-boiled egg
chopped celery
green peas
dill
curry powder
nutmeg
sea salt
cracked black pepper

 

[Gerard K H Love]

PS; You and my son and the curry powder. I guess once you acquire a taste for curry you even want to put it in your cereal every morning. I've had potato salad with the curry.

 

[number6horse]

This Shit is THE SHIT

If I walked into a noodle shop and they didn't have a bottle of this on every table, I.... I...., well I don't know what I'd do, but I would find another restaurant, that's for sure. Many taquerias and a few diners will keep this on hand, too. Yummmmmmm.

NYT article here.

We have a bottle in the cupboard and one in the fridge. It's hot cock sauce and you can put it on anything, if you have an iron stomach.
