FOOD!

Stewed calf cheek (wtf is this called?) // potato purree // savoy
(doesn't look too good, I know)

Almost the only one who participates on this thread.
First time eating calf cheek... Real German food steez today.
The calf cheek was super soft, and because it has very subtle marmoring of fat the sauce was perfect. Let some vegetables stewed with the calf... Yumyum.
Could've only eaten potato purree and the sauce.

down here in Texas stewed calf cheeks (slow cooked with a puree of garlic,onion and cilantro) are lovingly known as barbacoa. One of the most delicious things off of a 4 legged animal!

pork belly topped with a salad of kimchi, peanuts, chili soy and scallions
Grilled Squid with Chorizo and Chimmichurri
poutine, oxtail gravy, cheddar...unbelievable
foie gras loco moco (quail egg, spam, hamburger) talk about rich
balsamic pork ribs, herb butter accompanied by a beautiful succotash

I am in a world of PAIN right now from diving into such a decadent meal.

MoFiya: I'll have one order of the sole with marinated cucumber please! Sorry if I'm clueless here or didn't read the entire thread but are you a professional chef? That's some pretty beautiful food. I eat meat but don't really think about the killing part too much...visualizing strangling that pigeon makes me cringe a little

[MoFiya]

Nah, just a student who somehow likes to spend his time in kitchen when he's got nothing else to do ;-)
Well, tbh I don't eat that much meat either... Only like once or twice a week. And it's come to be sth real special if I do a bigger menu like posted before... I start planning and thinking about the combination of courses and all dishes matching each other and creating kind of a tension. So it's not a thing I do like every week...

Animal, Los Angeles

[jumpoff]

Animal sounds and looks crazy, but in a good way.

I'm kinda tired of meat so I've been eating a lot of fish lately. Haven't had a steak in three months, used to eat one at least once a week.

Tried making sashimi at home today for the first time. Turned out really good. Only had salmon though, but the salmon was top notch. Used "Salma"-salmon which you don't have to freeze first, which is a must as I don't have a freezer(!). Will try other kinds of fish when I'm back home with access to a freezer and the sea.

Lunch yesterday:

Grilled sea bream (starter was fish soup), bread, coke.
Fantastic flavor, grilled over charcoal with a little olive oil.


Served at Balik Lokantasi, located at the end of an alley with vendors selling hardware and electrical supplies, a block north of the Karaköy fish market. Istanbul has some great food - I also enjoyed Sofyali 9 and Ciya Sofrasi, but this was probably my single favorite meal of our week's stay.

I love Chinese food...and the boldness the dishes exude....but sometimes, I will just have to say "pass."

Noted....but I separated the 3 for the quote option in case someone wanted to comment on a particular pic. No worries. I will consolidate future multis.

I say weird shit.

If someone wants to comment on a particular pic they can edit the quote. One oddity of forums is that quoting someone doesn't mean what you'd think. Observe above
