Bread and Gravy!

My wife can pan fry a mean chicken but always makes too much Gravy and not enough potato. So I do like my dad did tear up a couple slices of bread and pour chicken gravy.

Its Good Chit Maynard.

Tuna Salad sandwich.

Fried chicken livers and gizzards.

Mixed fruit medley you know with the coconut. Very refreshing on a hot summer day.

Hot Pockets?

this into this.

Feta cheese.

:drool:
mmmmmm. love those. especially the livers.

Squid.

Sandwich/hamburger bread and pizza crust. They are the foundations of their respective meals, and subpar foundations can utterly destroy an otherwise finely crafted dish. For me, the bread and crusts are the most important pieces.

Generally, sauces. A good sauce can tie an entire dish together and define the experience. It's also an art that takes a lot of practice to really master.

I prefer the gizzards, but like livers a lot as well.

Going by the overrated thread: sushi.

Lasagna. It's a very unassuming dish, but it's the perfect combination of meat, sauce, cheese, and pasta. And it's one of my all time favorite dishes.

And chili - with or without beans. What's not to love about chili?

Heinz Spotted Dick. On phone or id post a picture. Its the bomb. Google it.

Not food, but water

fried okra
broccoli

Head cheese.

How about Mac n Cheese with catsup?

:Lin:

Butter Rum Lifesavers.

Im not a fan of salmon grilled, seared, poached or baked. But give me that can of salmon an egg bread crumbs mixed and fried into Salmon Crockett's, oven baked Mac and Cheese and a side of succotash with extra lima beans and I'm a happy camper.

Whiskey.

Kraft Mac and Chee with cream of mushroom soup and tuna.

Umm...no thanks, bud.

Bacon

Black Licorice not Twizzlers. I like the one thats about an inch and a half long hald in wide and likes like should be a piece to an erector set. Jizz City

Black Licorice Jelly Bellies aint a bad substitute.

Seriously, mine I think is kalamata olives - those fat black Greek ones. They really tie a salad together.

WTF?

Monsieur's puke bucket?

Excellent choice. I imagine it's not more popular because people don't go to the trouble of getting it properly crispy.

Perhaps the one dish I properly enjoy WITH ketchup.


Another, great northern beans. Slow cooked with bacon and onion, sprinkle tabasco on a bowl right before consuming with corn bread muffins made with sour cream instead of milk or water.

burnt food

I bet it tastes better than you'd expect given it's name and that picture of it. Has to. This could be a case study for worst marketing practices of all time.

Underwood canned deviled ham

Its a thick baked pudding with raisins and/or currants.

Gotta definitely have those in a Greek Salad...with authentic Feta--not made from cow's milk.

The British are behind it. They have a way of naming gross...like one having suet ( beef fat ) in a desert.
As well as no so gross foods. British plum pudding has suet in it too.

tuna casserole

Perhaps a more appetizing photo of the spotted dick.

Agreed. Throw it on a skillet and it's not bad. Hawaiian food uses it quite a bit. It works well in fried rice and with pineapples.

Avocado.

Winner.

Fried Spam on toast with some lettuce and tomato is super tasty... the Hawaians know whats up.

green onion
shallot
jicama
challah
tarragon
cilantro
turmeric
basil
black pepper
avocado
apricot
cauliflower
parsley
radish
fennel
yuca

Totally with you on green onion and shallots. And instead of black pepper, I'd say white pepper and grains of paradise. Ever put grains of paradise on a steak in place of pepper? :drool:

But I can't stand cilantro, not sure if maybe I'm one of those that have the cilantro hate gene.

Kiwi

Yes, yes, yes on the white pepper. I love that stuff. Especially in French dishes; in home made salad dressing. Grains of Paradise can even go in apple pie.

Another ingredient is Herbs-de-Provence. Also great in a homemade salad dressing with white pepper.
But has many other uses.

White Balsamic Vinegar

Man I love this stuff for making salad dressings. It's much lighter than that darker balsamic.

Right there with you on cilantro hate.

You eat yucca? I have a whole pasture full of the sons of bitches you can have for free. Farm fresh and totally organic,

Unless it's some fancy shit I've never heard of.

Beef Stew....but the best is the one the French make-- Beef Bourguignon with red wine cooked in it.

Smokehouse BBQ is the most under-rated BBQ joint in KC IMO.

That's yucca.

I listed yuca:

What about jicama?

Anybody that hates cilantro needs to be flogged...

I despise the stuff. Even a little will often overwhelming palate.

I am like that with nutmeg. Anything with that horrible awful spice=no thank you from me.

Now I dig nutmeg. Not like Alton Brown dogs nutmeg, but still. Good stuff.

How do you eat tacos without cilantro?

Don't tell me you use ****ing taco sauce.

I don't generally eat Mexican, but if I do I prefer a burrito.

And it's very easy when you hate the stuff. I honestly can't think of a single ingredient I hate more. Maybe blue cheese, but it'd be close.

God dammit now I have to hit TJ's for lunch

Freshly grated is a bit too tangy for my taste buds, especially for the dishes I like it on. I prefer the non-fresh. I think it enriches and mellows the flavor at the same time. So long as it's not too old. I also prefer parsley dried unless a recipe calls for it otherwise.

I buy the herbs and spices I don't grow bulk dried at the whole foods type grocery. Even though, dried they are not old and stale and I can buy in smaller batches so I don't wind up using something old and out of flavor. Cheaper too. I mean, some spices I may use once or year or in a lifetime. I hate spending $5-$7 bucks for a jar at the supermarket when most of it will go to waste.

Some people literally can't help but hate it. Something like 13-15% of people will perceive cilantro as "soapy" tasting. It's biological.

I thank the heavens every day that I'm not one of those people, because cilantro is incredible.

Not a huge fan. A little goes a long way.

It is the bomb!

A little will destroy whatever it touches.

Why?

Cilantro is one of my favorite taco ingredients. It's essential.

because its makes for an excellent meal if done right
For you grill Gods out there

Ya squirrel is good if done right. You can't go wrong with a batch of bullfrogs either.

Oh ya, frog legs are the bomb

You sure its not the same shit? Yucca root looks kind of like that :D

OK so I don't hate cilantro like fmb, but I hate it when its all I taste

So Live Steam likes road kill, huh? :D

I have a family of possums living under my shed. Wanna share your knowledge of how to kill 'em, clean 'em and cook 'em?

tacos = cilantro and onions

Anything else and it's not a ****ing taco.
