The repetition of a theme interesting. Even more so where it is not pertinent to the topic.

Food

Well, it make sense, doesn't it? Food is vital, necessary, and binds the world with a common cry: "Let's Eat!"

I posted these links in a previous thread, but thought it would do well with a thread of its own; tie together all sorts of food-and-drink topics; make reference to the old ones; give some a chance to revel publicly about their favourite snack, disastrous recipes, and culinary excesses. What do you like to eat? How do you prepare it? What oil do you use on your grill? What's the best herb for...? Here are the collected "food" links from days of old:

Now, if you'll excuse me, it's quite late and I'm a bit peckish. Think I'll have a snack and go to bed. G'night.

You know, this was a damn' good idea. In fact, I think it should be stickied.

JingleJoe · « **Reply #2 on:** August 16, 2008, 10:43:36 pm »

I'm going to come back here and read through all those when I cant decide what to eat

Miimno · « **Reply #3 on:** August 17, 2008, 07:14:36 am »

Teased out a couple more threads hidden away and rearranged ever so slightly to accommodate a newly emergent sub-grouping.

Who knows, maybe it'll be useful enough to be pinned. I will endeavor to keep it updated as new food topics fly over my head.

If you'll excuse me, it's getting on to a late morning snack...maybe some nice Ma'Mounia with almonds and raisins... Oh yes.

Good resource. I'll have to try some of those as soon as my stove and oven are repaired.

Added The intoxication thread and In answer to a food question...Full steam ahead.

It occurred to me that Albrecht might have been joking.

Gazongola · « **Reply #7 on:** August 19, 2008, 10:14:17 pm »

Aha! Two of my threads are in there!

Miimno · « **Reply #8 on:** September 09, 2008, 09:08:25 pm »

At last, someone posts about Borscht! The greatest drink ever! Good night!

Updated with three new food-related threads.

Brilliant collection

I second the motion to have this thread stickied..

Miss Aetherly · « **Reply #12 on:** January 05, 2009, 06:34:24 pm »

Such a nice collection should be stickied. I third the motion!
I intend to return and peruse that list thoroughly.

Somewhat the kitchen mad scientist, I have created a living organism in a jar using only water and flour...

My wife refers to it as my girlfriend.

Utilizing very ancient techniques, I combined organic flour and water in specific proportions, captured wild yeast inside of the mix, and created a life: my wild yeast sourdough starter. I use parts of it to make bread.
I have to feed and water it regularly, or it will die. Sometimes you can see it breathing.

If anyone's interested, I have a baking site, as well. I'm planning on putting up a how-to about my starter in a few days.

Mmmmmm. I love sourdough.

George De Vraic · « **Reply #17 on:** January 19, 2009, 01:51:39 pm »

Great Idea to get this all lovely food in one place -

I fancy doing the cook along with the british chef Gordon Ramsey on the next series - anyone try doing this with a web cam and manage to keep up?

Miimno · « **Reply #18 on:** February 22, 2009, 02:37:01 am »

Absinthe Lollipops?

لذيذ

Dr von Zarkov · « **Reply #19 on:** February 22, 2009, 02:58:09 am »

Miimno,

Many thanks for taking the time to assemble this list.

Did the Fuel for the boiler book ever get finished?

Angus A Fitziron · « **Reply #22 on:** February 27, 2009, 03:50:49 pm »

I admit I have not read ALL the threads so it may have been mentioned already but if not, I can recommend a cook book that contains authentic dishes from the early 19th century but someone has done all the hard work of tracing obscure ingredients and sourcing 21st C replacements where necessary. The book is "Lobscouse and Spotted Dog" by Anne Chotzinoff Grossman and Lisa Grossman Thomas and is a book that describes food as mentioned in the Aubrey/ Maturin novels of Patrick O'Brian. We regularly eat Lobscouse and have tried some of the other recipes and not been disappointed yet. However, not tried Millers yet!

George De Vraic · « **Reply #23 on:** March 02, 2009, 12:38:23 am »

Just a heads up for those with British telly-goggles - oops Mr Time Tinker is on to the cookery programme already

http://brassgoggles.co.uk/bg-forum/index.php?topic=14311.0

George
