Food slim is too "evolved" to eat.

[Thnikkaman]

Beef Carpaccio

1969

tuna tartare

1970

[BroncoJoe]

You realize it all just turns into shit anyway, right?

[Thnikkaman]

Raw Egg Eggnogg (made with pasteurized eggs)

1971

Indeed, but it doesn't have to taste like shit going in.

Right, and cooking was designed to enhance the flavor of food.

That is all I am saying....I don't think it really that unreasonable.

[Thnikkaman]

Slim, my wife was watching No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain, and they showed people eating the beating heart of a freshly caught fish. My oldest son wants to eat a fishes' beating heart.

[Thnikkaman]

That looks so delicious.

[Poet]

Slim's jumped the shark and is worthless.

[Thnikkaman]

Cooking was designed to kill food born germs. We have modified the cooking process so that it kills the germs, and enhances flavor, but not all meats require cooking.

Thanks, Alton.

But it does enhance the flavor of all (or most) foods, IMO.

Oh man, Durian is the worst.

Have you ever even smelled it? I would eat sushi all day before I put that crap in my mouth.

[BroncoJoe]

This fruit looks pretty f-ed up. Discovered it when helping my son with his made-up country - Drakovia.

It's not bad. Not great, but it is edible.

[Thnikkaman]

We had uglifruit a few weeks ago. Pretty tasteless but you could use it for one of those blindfold haloween tricks.

[WTE]

Not only does cooking enhance flavors but the taste buds in your mouth will dull the flavor of cold foods.

Therefore, hot food is always better.

[underrated29]

I have to go with slim here. I would likely not eat half those foods unless I was just in an adventurous mood. And that one vagina looking thing, I presume is a clam or oyster- eh. However, the bacon and steak look amazing. In fact, steak is now what I am going to make for dinner tonight.

Ahh dragon fruit. I have had one as well. Its alright. It reminded me of a less flavorful watermelon. For a while I used to take my son to the store and we would pick out the most random weird looking food there was and eat it. This was one of his choices. Its alright.

[Thnikkaman]

Who says raw food needs to be cold.

As they say in Japan:
最高のサーモンは舌の上で調理される (The best salmon is cooked on the tongue)

Tell that to this
1975actually, chas, my good friend, food temperature is critical for enjoyment. not because of the food but because of our own physiological ability to enjoy it.
wine experts will tell you that wine, white wine, should be consumed at a temperature range between 42-45 degrees farenheit.
its the same wine at ANY temp, but at those temps, the mouth, tounge, and olfactory are better prepared to appreciate it!
same with icecream ! taste the stuff right out of the freezer, when it is hard to scoop, and you get a far less joyfull experience than whenit has softened in a bowl or in a cone, over time.
when you freeze the tastebuds, they are not as receptive!
any food below 32 degrees will have diminished flavor.


so the next time someone tells you to 'eat shit'
ask if you can freeze it first !

BTW, did you take a typin class while on sabbatical? That was the most well typed out post I've ever read of yours. Glad you're back. Hotcarl? Not so much.

I had to ride the bus a couple of years back when the car was being repaired.. I sat across from a dude with an eyeball tattooed on his forehead. He simply stared straight ahead. It was unnerving. I wonder if it affected his employment prospects.

He's probably a doctor. He covers his tattoo with one of those reflecting mirror things that doctors wear on their forehead.

I heard you made a racial slur about my wife's people.your wifes people and my people are the same.
to clarify what I said was,
" brisket used to be a cheap cut of meat until they discoverd jews were the ones buying it, so they raised the price"
ask your wife how she feels about that before you condemn me, or allow these zamhaters to influence your thinking.

Very good Zambini! But Zambini sounds very Italian to me. Are you an Italian Jew?

[Chef Zambini]

zambini was a character I developed as a costumed waiter, the great zambini, trapeze artist extraordinaire.
his brother, chef luigi, worked in the kitchen.
I played both roles.
I am not italian.

[Thnikkaman]

Not at all, just haven't found many that are as good as a single malt. Again chef banbini, I'll try anything once.

[Chef Zambini]

I like oban, but I am content with Dewars.
a single malt, with a single ice cube to bloom the aroma, with a cigar, after a meal,
all too pretentious to me. but I sold the scenario to countless patrons back in the day.
honestly, I would rather have a nice port, and some proper accompaniments.
