Something Delicious

Gemme · 11-05-2012, 08:31 PM

I'm less of a foodie and more of an eater.

Looking forward to what everyone comes up with.

In the meantime, I used to love going to this restaurant when I lived in WA. They have their own brewery on site and made a most delish warm spinach salad, which I don't think they carry anymore. I'd be sad, except I'm not there anyway, so I'm not.

Hi Gemme!

Wherever I go I can find a dish that I will enjoy and miss. Funny how many times spinach salad has come up as a topic in conversations with friends. Must be the dressing? A lot of people use bacon in the dressing. I do a spinach salad with soy, rice vinegar, fresh ginger, fresh garlic, a little toasted sesame oil and a little sugar. Then again I m in love with Asian flavors so that dressing could top many dishes and I would likely enjoy it!

One of my favourite food memories is the first time I visited my brother in Europe, he was living in Frankfurt at the time, we went to the corner grocer and bought bread, cheeses and meats. They eat that for breakfast.
My favourite was the Quark cheese (with herbs) on their wonderful baguette bread with a slice of salami. Oh my god food is so much better in Europe. I was hooked and now whenever i visit my brother he knows to have Quark and Salami for me. Yummy

That and Lamb in Barcelona, any restaurant. I don't know why they do it so well, but they do.

Ok, and the ice cream from the street vendors in Vienna.

And the chicken donair at the Amsterdam train station.

And the salami and spinach pizza anywhere in Germany.

Have i mentioned how much I like (good) food? And Europe has some of the best. Although my mom made awesome pyrogies.

I know right! When I was in Italy I was shocked at how good the bread and cheese was. Could not understand why everything tasted so much better over there. Soon learned that growing things with no chemical assistance and using milk that actually comes from cows and goats that graze on the hillside, was the answer. Fascinating. Then again I could live on bread and cheese.

Oh right, and Italy... everything there.

I think I need to move.

Some days I dream of pizza alla quattro, gelato, ancient olives and the large intense Sicilian lemons. Fresh pasta with gorgonzola and peas...espresso and biscotti...stop me now.

Italian cookies...

Grilled eggplant and red peppers, pickled everything that grows...

Ok that is enough.

Bella Italia

Where I could not get a cup of American coffee to save my life. Never been so jacked up on caffeine before. Wonder what they pack into that espresso.

Foodie here but also on the SUPER healthy side of things. Portobello mushrooms with herbs, spinach and light cheese, broiled, delightful! We made a pasta dish this week, small beans, pesto, mushrooms, spinach, tomatoes, angel hair and some parmesan arregiano, it was SO good and light. Fun thread!

Hi Mtn thank for joining us!

Seems like a lot of people are looking for healthy and delicious ideas for meals so please bring those ideas. Mushrooms make a really nice flavor and texture delivery to any meal. Broiling sounds like a great idea. Grilling is always my first choice but I cant always do that. Amazing how some good cheese can kick up a dish yes?

That and hot sauces. Hot sauce freak here. A bottle of Tabasco does not even last me a week these days. I need to buy it by the quart I guess. lol

Keeping it health here too!
Mostly plant based diet. Tons of mushrooms

, greens, whole grains, yummy dressings. Also a very seasonal eater, it's root veggies and soup time here in NY!

Yes it sure is. I always look forward to fall root vegetables especially for soup.
Been developing a sweet potato soup that still needs some work.
Also a big fan of squash particularly butternut and acorn.

Though I do not identify as vegetarian I maintain a mostly plant based diet and eat seafood regularly. Leafy greens such as chard, collards, spinach, bok choy are favorites. Also love cabbage. Kimi Chi and rice..could eat it every day.

kimchi ... brings back memories - fresh kimchi or shin kimchi? And which of the 100 varieties

of kimchi are you referring to? One of my favourites ...

Yum..

What a wonderful thread. I, too, love to cook, try new things, mix up new ingredients, try new gadgets. First, let me say, I love my kitchen! I've been stuck in apt size kitchens way too long. New house, wonderful kitchen. Best part...the kitchen island. Love love the space!

This morning I cut up 3 different types of apples, added some butter, sugar, cinnamon and the last of the dried cranberries ( the new raisin, lol). Put them all in the crockpot for crockpot applesauce. Waiting for the smell to wake up the house.

I get most of my ideas from magazines, the cooking channel and lately Pinterest. I'm a fresh food cook, hardly canned anything.

So Bon appetite , let's see what we can learn and share here!

Welcome Unique!

Lucky you with a kitchen island! More space is always a great thing.

Your applesauce sounds great. Nothing like fresh apples being cooked to make a house fill with amazing aroma.

So glad you stopped by! I look forward to learning from everyone and reading about what interesting things you are all eating and/or cooking!

My mum had a laugh at me the other day, I told her one of my favourite things growing up was her mince (ground beef for you 'Mericans) - she added onion, worchester sauce, and ???, coleslaw and mashed potato. Nothing fancy at all and I loved it.

I used to make this lovely simple pasta sauce that you have over fettuccine - it's the kind of thing you leave simmering in a pan at the back. I can't remember if it's from the north or the south ...

chop and saute carrots, celery and tomatoes (skinned, tinned ones are ok) for a few minutes. Put in a pot with tomato juice and simmer for an hour. Put over fettuccine. Enjoy. How simple is that? I usually add onions and garlic but that's not included in the original recipe.

One of my favourite Malaysian dishes is asam laksa. Asam means sour, laksa refers to the noodles. There are lots of different varieties of laksa https://www.facebook.com/pages/Laksa/112054285474391. My problem is that my Malaysian exgf is a great cook as is her mum and several of her aunties and I've been spoilt rotten. I don't actually eat asam laksa very often because I'm usually disappointed.

The main ingredients are tamarind juice, herring or mackerel, laksa leaves (Vietnamese mint or ordinary mint), prawn paste, belachan, pineapple. Enjoy!

Kiwi is Laksa always made as a soup? I love Tamarind and only recently started using it in soup after having some amazing Filipino Tamarind soup. It was so good that I had to try and make it at home. Now I am hooked.
Everything sounds good but I am not a fan of oily fish, however I do like fish a lot.

The prawn paste is the cooked version yes?

Also what is belachan?

Bèsame* · 11-06-2012, 08:12 AM

Have you tried Tiger Sauce? Made by the same company as Tabasco. I really like the flavor.

Tiger Sauce, no. What is it like?

I may have a hot sauce addiction. Not sure yet. Will get back to you after I knock off a bottle of Tapatio later.

lusciouskiwi · 11-06-2012, 09:43 AM

Try some sambal belacan (belachan)

absurdfemme · 01-15-2013, 07:50 PM

My father introduced me to Tiger Sauce years ago. I don't think I ever thanked him.
