2-1 for the filet mignon.

How about a cheese steak MADE of filet mignon? that would be good....

[hellfire1]

I imagine you dont get too many of those in gay Paris, do you?

[hellfire1]

[Vodstok]

Damn! Foie Gras. Truffles. Champagne. Normandy butter. You live in a perpetual hell over there dont you?:)


I lived in germany for a while, trust me, i feel your pain. The fact that the local food is awesome means diddly if you are in the mood for some good ol american food.

Ist there a Mcdonalds down around Notre Dame?

[AUSTIN316426808]

Paris has great food, almost as good as us:cool:

[Vodstok]

I've been to paris and new Orleans, and to be honest, the food is too different to compare.


Also, i havent been to paris in almost 13 years, its only been 5 for NO.

[urgeok]

i'll take the cheese steak .. i dont like big solid chunks of meat

[Vodstok]

4-1 cheesesteak is winning. Not at all how i thought this would go :)

[hellfire1]

sausage patties look finger lickin' good to me.

[Vodstok]

1-1. Cmon people,. i know you like meat....

[ShankS]

Bacon

[filmmaker2]

The bacon looks better in the photo...looks crunchy and tasty. Bacon.

[Vodstok]

you know what is good? take ground sausage, form it into a loaf around butter, then wrap it in bacon :)


Sounds like something the Two Fat Ladies would have made :D

[newb]

Bacon for me also....although I prefer ham.






yeah...I know....same animal.

[Vodstok]

Almost all breakfast sausage is pork...

Those pigs are truly wonderful animals

[DRAGGOON]

Sausage is much better i know i see it every day.:)

Cmon Vod...how many people here are going to go with Fajitas simply because they don't have a fucking clue what Coq au Vin IS??
You're a funny guy, man...haha:D

People, as your resident (soon to be) chef in training, I thought I should do some research.
I'm not about to claim to have known what this one is already MYSELF even, I've hardly touched ANY french cuisine, well, I've eaten it, just not had the cause to MAKE much.

In the interest of expanding my horizons...and hey, yours too, here the basics;
Coq au Vin is a french dish, It translated almost exactly to "chicken in wine"...it's traditionally made with red wine, but can be done with a white for a variation.
Chicken, Onion, bacon, Lots of garlic and whole champignons (those are the little musrooms you see there), among LOTS of seasonings, varying dependant upon the region from which the specific recipe came.
Doesn't look TOO hard to make to me, just a little time consuming...
I think I'm gonna give this one a go, and let y'all know how it went.

Oh yeah, I vote for the Coq au Vin. Looks and sounds lovely, and french cuisine is usually fucking great.

Thanks for adding to my repertoire, Vod.

I've had Coq au Vin, I can't pronounce it to save my life but I was in a resturant looking over the menu and I saw it and it looked good so I pointed to the picture. Of course the snotty, uptight waiter rolled his eyes at me and said in the most annoying accent I've ever heard ''you mean the Coq au Vin'', I didn't tip the fucker :D

I'll go with the onion though...I've had a baked spanish onion once, and that was awesome...I imagine this thing would be KINDA similar?

[Vodstok]

Kinda, sorta not really. They are good though. imagine kind of a crispy onion ring, only really spicy and flavorful.

And no, there is nothing we wont fry. We have fried oreos. I think that tops everything.

If we could manage it, im sure there would be a carnival stand somewhere with fried cotton candy.

3-2 in favor of cheese.

1 scoop vanilla ice cream

1 teaspoon cinnamon
vegetable oil for frying

Heat the Vegetable Oil in a large pot. While the oil is heating, take the Frosted Flakes and put them into a Ziploc bag. Smash them until they are pea-size pieces. Pour the Frosted Flakes into a large bowl. Take the scoop of Ice Cream and drop it into the bowl. Roll the Ice Cream around in the cereal until it is well coated. Take the cereal covered Ice Cream ball and drop it into the hot oil for 30-45 sec. Take the Ice Cream out of the Oil and dust with Cinnamon and Powdered Sugar. Serve immediately.

that sounds like it might taste pretty good.

[newb]

I asked Jeeves

Fried ice cream is sometimes associated with soul food, but is even more associated with fairs, carnivals and other places where food is served with little regard to negative health concerns due to the products consumed being considered as a snack or a treat rather than serious sources of nourishment. It is prepared by taken deep-frozen ice cream (ice cream which has been frozen well below the standard 0 degrees F at which ice cream is generally kept) and rolling it in a breading which is usually cookie crumbs. This breaded ice cream is then briefly fried. The low temperature to which the ice cream has been frozen prevents the ice cream from melting during the brief frying process. When served the product is generally still frozen in the middle but sizziling on the outside.

[Vodstok]

In New Hampshire, practically every CHinese Restaraunt that is primarily sit-down (as opposed to take out) has Fried Icecream on their menu.

it is quite a bit less common than pork , beef, poultry, so that is understandable. Deer is Mutton.

the picture of the suckuling is actualy of a baby sheep.

No, it's not.
It's a suckling pig, and a rather mature one at that.

I don't condone eating young animals either way...however, I ahve tried both of these, and on personal preferance, a spit roasted pig is great, regardless of age.

I wouldn't eat it too often, and mine would have it's head removed (god, the thing looks tasteless...), but yes, I'd prefer the pig.

Personally, i could eat a car tire if it had russian dressing on it.

[Phalanx]

Russian...don't really like T.I.

[hammerfan]

Russian, definitely. Especially if it's on a turkey reuben!

[The Flayed One]

I'm going to go Russian, epsecially since that 1000 Island is Lite:mad:

[bloodrayne]

Hmm...I'm not even familiar with Russian Dressing, and I don't really care for Thousand Island...


I'm a Hidden Valley Ranch person, all the way...


Looks like I'll just sit this one out :)

[Vodstok]

3-0 sweep in favor of russian so far... looks like i have better taste than i thought :)

[AUSTIN316426808]

Russian

Don't use any of it now, I just make my own.

[Miss Olivia]

Russian.

[Dante'sInferno]

[1beastieibe]

[Vodstok]

wow, russian cleaned house. No love for thousand island. Cant say that i blame you.

now for the "What the hell"? challenge. Yes people eat these. yes they have weird names.

Puget Sound's geoduck clam

(pronounced Gooey-duck)

VS.


Monkfish

http://myweb.dal.ca/harbour/images/monkfish.jpg

[Zero]

gotta eat the monkfish before it eats you!

[Phalanx]

Never see the clam thing...monkfish however, I understand are very good. I generally prefer fish over bi-valve moluscs, so I'd go with the monkfish.

[The Flayed One]

I've eaten the great Northwestern geoduck, and it is good.

[Vodstok]

The monkey fish is beating the big clam, 4 - 1

[Miss Olivia]

Geoduck

[Phalanx]

Doesn't the monkfish look interesting?
Kind of "missing link"-y. Looks almost reptilian...this guy looks like the big, mean cousin of the mudskipper...I hope to cook one someday...not the mudskipper, the fish...although maybe...

[Vodstok]

Mudskipper is a fish. Just a little one that looks and acts like a frog.

[Phalanx]

Oh yeah, I didn't mean the 'skipper was reptilian, just that the big thing kinda looks it...
All the same, theyre both awesome...looking at the monkfish I can't help but wonder if the two are somehow related...and if the monkfish might be able to do the same...what a beast.

[crabapple]

Goodness gracious me. That is one butt-ugly waking nightmare of a delicious fish dish.

Yorkshire Pudding (not "yorkie pudding", although that could be fun)



Vs



Blood Pudding

http://www.foodmall.org/images/r_morcilla.jpg

[Phalanx]

Blood.
I've not yet tried it, but its one of those things I've heard lengths about, and intend to try. Perhaps make my own...from my own blood.





ok, maybe not, but I wanna give it a go...

[Vodstok]

I've never been that adventurous. ive smeeled blood cook before and i am NOT interested...


Yorkshire pudding is great stuff though :)

[hammerfan]

Yorkshire pudding

[The Flayed One]

I'm like cheeb..I mean Phalanx, dammit, I've heard great things about blood pudding. I want to try it. However, I've had Yorkie, and it's pretty tasty. So Yorshire pudding gets the vote by default

[crabapple]

blood puddinge: sick! sick! sick!

ewwwwwwwww how horrible

[AUSTIN316426808]

Blood.

Still not sure why the hell it's called pudding.

I'm gonna change that to Yorkshire. A rare cooked piece of meat is good but not dried up and fully cooked, that doesn't sound that good at all.

[Vodstok]

looks liek yorkshire pudding gets the vote.

Austin, the english have a very different definition of pudding from America...

now for one thats bound to get saucy... (Lol)

Hollandaise


Vs


Bernaise

http://starzabove.com/images/67t.jpg

[hammerfan]

Hollandaise

[bloodrayne]

Hollandaise Sauce is an emulsion of butter and lemon juice using egg yolks as the emulsifying agent, usually seasoned with salt and a little black pepper or cayenne pepper. Hollandaise sauce is well known as a key ingredient in eggs Benedict.

Hollandaise is famous as a difficult sauce to make well and to hold. Properly made it should be smooth and creamy, and if beaten long enough will hold its shape as firmly as whipped cream. It tastes very rich and buttery, with a mild tanginess added by the lemon juice and seasonings.


Bearnaise Sauce is a sauce of butter and egg yolks flavored with tarragon and shallots, with chervil, cooked in wine and vinegar to make a glaze. "A Béarnaise sauce is simply an egg yolk, a shallot, a little tarragon vinegar, and butter, but it takes years of practise for the result to be perfect," wrote the restaurateur Fernand Point (1897-1955), the father of modern French cuisine, in Ma Gastronomie. It is a traditional sauce for steak.

Like Hollandaise sauce, Bearnaise sauce is an emulsion of butter in egg yolks. The difference is only in their flavoring: Bearnaise uses a glaze of vinegar and tarragon, while Hollandaise uses lemon juice.


I had to look it up...I didn't know the difference:o


I'm going with Bearnaise.....I think

[Miss Olivia]

Ooh...bernaise=tastebud heaven
Bernaise.

[Phalanx]

I'll go with not getting food poisoned by someone stuffing up the hollandaise. Bernaise...the tarragon, although I normally hate it, actually works well with the overall tartness.
I try not to eat too much of either...you can feel another artery clog with every bite.

[Vodstok]

3 -1 in favor of bernaise.


i have made both. i like Hollandaise better, plus it is easier. although anything that is 98% butter and egg yolks is always good :)

[AUSTIN316426808]

Hollandaise

[Vodstok]

3-2 now so close....

[bloodrayne]

Okay..I asked Dustin about this one, too...He said he hasn't had Bearnaise, but he loves Hollandaise, so he's going with that...

[Vodstok]

3-3, it s a tie

[The Flayed One]

Bernaise

[bloodrayne]

Umm...I wanna do another one...


Sooo...Can we just say Bearnaise for Demon Seed?...I mean, he wouldn't eat EITHER, cuz he's extremely picky and has a very limited view on what is considered 'pallatable'....But, he'd go along with me :)

[Vodstok]

I htink once it has sat on a particular challenge for 12+ hours, it has garnered all the votes it is gonna get, so cvlearly, bernaise is the winner here.


How about some pork products?

In the interest of avoiding a bitch-fest between canadians and americans over canadian and american bacon, the top one is "belly bacon" and the lower is "back Bacon"

[bloodrayne]

Dude...TOTALLY gotta go with bacon here...No contest :D



*stomache growls*


lol...I meant the first bacon :D..The REAL bacon

[Vodstok]

Wow, i totally didnt see this response coming :)

[hammerfan]

Crispy bacon for me! The crispier the better!

[Dude Guadalupe]

We all know the REAL bacon is Kevin Bacon........ok not really but he was cool in Stir Of Echos.


Oh yeah I vote for bacon not HAM.

[Vodstok]

Its not really ham either. Ham comes from pig ass, while back bacon is from the... Back. *cough*

If you're talking about a Philly cheesesteak, I'm in. If not, I'll go with the chili dog.

Steak and cheese...I mean, assuming I made it.

Bean Sprouts



Vs.


Alafalfa Sprtouts

http://www.freshdirect.com/media/images/product/vegetables/sprouts/spt_alf_z.jpg

[crabapple]

Bean sprouts. Tough one but that's what I'd pick. Specially if they're stir-fried into some noodle dish.

[Phalanx]

Shit...that's a hard one...I love them both.
However, I have to go with bean sprouts on account of versatility.
Alfalfas are excellent for salads and cool dishes, juices and the like, but beansprouts work wonders in both hot AND cold.
As long as you get them fresh that is...the substandard browned air exposed ones some stores wanna push on you, ridiculous.

Ok, yeah...in short, I vote beansprouts.

[Vodstok]

I have a question...

Is veal "Cow Sprouts"?

Apples



Vs




Oranges

http://www.hormel.com/kitchen/images/refimages/kitchen_advice/fruit_veg/oranges/orange_navel.jpg

* in case you saw the mispost, no it isnt pikachu vs oranges....

[Phalanx]

For natural flavour, orange.
If it were candy, I'd have went with the apple...especially green apple. Both quite respectable entries, but again for me it comes down to versatility, I have, and will always use oranges more.

[Vodstok]

I made chicken last night with garlic, red onion, red and green bell pepper, lime juice, pineapple rum and cherry 7-up. No kidding.

it wasnt as good as i had hoped. Guess what the weak link was?


Not the 7-up, the rum. weird...

[Phalanx]

You'd have been better off with a white wine for that, something light and crisp...I'm not good with the ol' wine terminology, but a chardonnay should work in the dish you've described, added towards the beggining primarily, and a SMALL fresh splash at the end.

[Vodstok]

Yeah. i was trying to be clever and it blew up in my face. on the other hand, bree asked for some of my pineaply bbq sauce, and was quite happy with the mix of flavors. So i was disappointed, but she liked it, so all wa sright in the world.

[Phalanx]

Hey man, you GOTTA encounter fuck-ups along the line...recognising when you've done something that just doesn't work is an honest and important factor. The more crazy ideas you try, the better odds are that you'll stumble over something great.
Literally more than half of my own recipes , including the ones you've seen have been through the same.

Cool, more Cheeba, I mean, Phalanx recipes! I copy them when you post them, I hope you don't mind, cuz I guess I'd do it anyway. :D

[Phalanx]

That's fine.
Didn't say I was posting any more though.

[monalisa]

OK, just PM them to me. :D J/K you don't have to. Just wanted you to know I always appreciated when you did post them.

BTW, do you watch Hell's Kitchen? Just curious.

[Phalanx]

I've seen it.
I don't really watch any of the better known cooking shows religously...I find they focuss more on the "being a chef" bit (which is actually misleading, most of those guys own restaurants in which they can do whatever the fuck they want), and less on the actual cooking. It might be interesting to watch a guy swear his head off, or to see "how it is" or...how it supposedly is...for a while, but to be honest it all gets a bit boring to me.
I prefer recipes, demonstration of varied local cuisines and history in cooking shows. Probably my favoutire int. chef would be Rick Stein, who has more shows than I can count yet shows more passion in the subject matter than I've EVER seen out of ANY of the rest, it's more like watching a documentary laden with easy to complex recipes.
My favourite local chefs...a tossup between a guy called Neil Perry, and a chick called Kylie Kwong...also with a few shows and books of their own, each has one of the leading restaurants in Sydney...probably the only chefs from 'round my way I'd consider worth checking out. Unless you count the posers on our "ready steady cook"...Don't get me wrong, there's a lot of great chefs here...our whole massively multicultural deal and availability of interesting produce makes for some wonderful food...I just think in general, the whole "fame" deal hasn't quite caught up here...or could be no-one gives a fuck.

[monalisa]

Personally, I would never last on Hell's Kitchen. I'd have to slap the shit out of the chef. I'm not cut out for that type of atmosphere I guess.
