Aromatherapy raviolis: the new FOOD thread

[El_Josharino]

I think I'm going to take a shot at making cornbread stuffing for this year's Viking Feast.

[El_Josharino]

Whoa, page break, don't forget to go to page 10 and look at Jim's stuffing photos.

*sigh*.... 

Here they are again for that total drool-on-the-keyboard effect...

I tried to get some detail shots but the light wasn't very good, but let me tell you: the crispy bits are even better when you start with some good bread

I made a really really yummy dinner. Lamb marinated in ras-al-hanout, lemon juice, salt and a bit of olive oil. Kangaroo sausages. Broccoli, asparagus, and cauliflower wrapped in foil. Red capsicum. Flat bread. All cooked on the grill, served with harissa and yoghurt. Fruit salad for dessert. I may be about to explode.

[Thermofusion]

Shit I wanna eat Kangaroo sausages. Or Kangaroo burgers.

[YojimboMonkey]

How about crown roast of kangaroo?

it's like this:

[Thermofusion]

Kangaroo: high protein, low fat, summons C.B.S. Is it the miracle meat?

[cold before sunrise]

hehe, wild things rule.

my friend's father shot a bear with a bow and arrow and made my friend drink blood from the bear's neck.

he said it tasted like beef broth.

that sounds alright to me.

[cold before sunrise]

an old friend who used to fight for a living told me a story about being in thailand when he crossed a border illegally to take in some kind of martial arts match near there, told me about joining these fighters in a ritual where they cut off a snake's head and drain it's blood to drink with homemade moonshine. i'm still undecided if that made me want to kiss him more or less but it definitely conjured up considerations of what i thought about making out with him.

[FreddyKnuckles]

Kinda like when your dog spends fifteen minutes drinking out of the toilet and then comes and licks the crap out of your face?

[clare]

I eat kangaroo a lot - it's cheaper than beef, much lower in fat, and yummy!!! ("burrootos" and "spaghetti boinganese" are two household favourites). The only downside to it is that it was only approved for human consumption in the last 20 years, so opening the packet always makes me think of cat-food, wich is kind of offputting.

Emu is also good, but I haven't eaten much else of interest.

[FreddyKnuckles]

Caribou was pretty money.  I should probably open a caribou farm.

[Ashley]

after my parents graduated university they went to Labrador to teach (because they were teachers).  My father hunted caribou and thats what they lived off.  My mother learned to make a lot of curry.

[Thermofusion]

Ostrich is delicious.

[Ignatius]

fuck all you guys

[FreddyKnuckles]

wait you ate a labrador?

[coldforge]

You can always tell when Ignatius is drinking

[Ignatius]

mmm, not always. The king of the assholes thing is for special nights. It's pretty obvious and real awful when I do it though, it's true. It's probably time to take a break. Sorry people.

Hugs, dude. Keep in touch.

I have a fantasy about living in Labrador and becoming some kind of burly survivalist type, but I don't think I'm badass enough. You parents, however: total badasses.

today's sandwich:

muenster cheese
fake turkey
lettuce
tomato
mayo
barbecue sauce

this may not seem like much to you people. It's after six months of being so bored with work sandwiches I could weep, and often did at lunchtime, especially when my coworkers ordered Chinese food, and I was at the grocery store last night and was like "WAIT THEY MAKE SLICED CHEESE."

except it's probably not vegetarian because there are ground-up baby animals in the barbecue sauce, or whatever

pretty much heaven: wrap as many beets as people being served in foil, with a little olive oil, and roast at 350 for about an hour. cool and peel. for each salad take a big handful of baby spinach and toss with 2 tbsp dressing of lemon juice, walnut or olive oil, salt and pepper. arrange 4 slices of goat cheese over each plate of greens, slice rounds of beet on top, a small handful blackberries, and generous sprinkle of walnut pieces. mmm...

[clare]

oh yeah, beetroot and chevre were made for each other. With a bit of ham and roasted pumpkin, maybe a handful of rocket, I'm in heaven...
