FOOD PORN (56k and Vegans go 'way)

Post by Darth Fanboy »

This is some up front hardcore food porn, specifically for those with a bacon fetish. If you want to jump in and talk baout how you quit eating meat and you get a raging hard on from eating sprouts and tofu whatever, do what you want, you have been advised and are a douche from this point forward.

THE BACO

Bacon shaped into a tortilla, mashed potatoes in the middle.

Image

Fried grilled cheese stuffed with bacon and pulled pork

Image

Bacon wrapped churros!

Image

Fried Mac N Cheese wrapped in Bacon and Fried PBJ wrapped in Bacon.

Mac and Cheese with bacon over fries with Chipotle (left), cheddar fried to a crisp with bacon and sour cream dip (right)




AMAZING.

Um, yeah. If you've eaten even one of those things I suggest you see a heart surgeon. If you've eaten all of them I suggest you see a mortician.

On that note, are bacon wrapped churros nice? I love a good churro, and am intrigued.

They were great. Get them fresh as possible. The contrast between Bacon's saltiness and dessert food sweetness makes for a great flavor.

So it's not bacon, but it fits in with the theme of unhealthy fried foods

That at least looks edible. The stuff in the OP may taste nice, but they look shit and vomit (no offence). As someone who eats with his eye, I think I'll pass on those.

The one that is one the red list? I thought the whole fishery was overfished on both sides of the atlantic.

FYI, Alaskan Black Cod isn't a Cod, it's another name for Sablefish. Totally different fish.

It's a very delicious fish, you should try it sometime!
I prefer simpler recipes where you can enjoy the flavour of the fish instead of having it drowned by strong sauces.

How is the taste?

And what is the fishery status? I try only to eat fish where I know it is not going to impact the environment negatively.

As for recipes, I agree. I tend to focus on the fish taste usually as well. Where did you get the recipe from?

It's on the David Suzuki sustainable food list so as far as I can tell it's ok. The taste is kinda hard to describe, it's a bit sweet with a rich I guess buttery flavour.

The recipe. I copied it from a Chinese restaurant near my workplace. The fish is fried with a light coating of batter or you can simply coat it with flour & bread crumbs then pan fry or bake it, but deep frying it tastes better, I won't lie.

The sauce is made from soy sauce, chopped fermented black beans, cooking wine, finely chopped ginger, and some brown sugar & balsamic vinegar. Mix it in a saucepan starting with the fermented black beans & ginger then add in the rest of the stuff until it tastes good, thicken it up then pour it over the fish. I can't really tell you how much of each thing to use since the ingredients vary so much from place to place, but the goal is to end up with a sauce that's not too salty with a bit of ginger & sweetness to it that's balanced out by the balsamic vinegar.

Hmmm. So it tastes a bit like halibut then?

But I will try it as soon as I have completed moving.

A little bit, sort of, but I think it's much better. I can't think of anything else with a similar taste, there's a bit of similarity with halibut or swordfish with the sweetness but the rest of the flavours & textures are quite different.

While the idea of bacon wrapped mashed potatoes and churros intrigues me and sounds pretty awesome, I"ll pass on the objection that I would rather like to, well, live. That, and the fact that a few of them look like they came out of Satan's asshole.

Now, that Alaskan black cod with black bean sauce looks and sounds delicious. I must try it at some point.

Fuckin love me some bacon. I do actually eat well for my self from time to time and my job has me up and about quite a bit but my senses of taste and smell demand constant attention. This was a rare indulgence to try so much good stuff at once. I can't put it away like I used to but that's because I get ulcers from an unrelated issue and the ol' gut can't work as hard despite my weighing less than I did ten years ago.

Oh man I am also reminded to tell you all that BACON FRIED RICE is the way to do it when you eat at teppan restaurants. The place I go will even prepare your beef rare if you ask (so many places don't it is a shame)!
