Foodies BS Thread.

I'm going to have to ask my last remaining uncle about this. I don't remember anyone ever mentioning this when I was growing up.

 

I think it's not a super well known dish, it's kind of a meme "Once the Italians start to relax about pineapple on pizza, we'll let them know about strawberries on spaghetti". So I've always made fun of it, but hey, now I gotta put my money where my mouth is. Problem is, I don't know if it's meant to be a dessert or a main....I still can't figure that out.

 

Looks like they ran out of flour to make dough

 

dunno...never had it.

 

Blueberry filled pierogi was a main in summer for my tribe.

 

My Baba used to make raisin pierogi.

 

Interesting, I've seen prune but never raisin...makes sense though. My brother still has our 1950's style metal top painted (or enameled I'd guess) family kitchen table in his basement. It's perfect for rolling and cutting pierog dough. Steel surface and a little flour...non-stick.

 

From the intertubes...but basically this

 

I live in Russian Doukabour country, these are standard fair known as Pyrahi.

 

These?

 

Bingo

We also have an endless supply of Russian borscht in town and it is great. I helped my neighbor with some chores around her yard and she gave me a quart of her borscht. Died and gone to heaven.

 

Who else is making pi today?

 

Raisin/prune pierogi = Fig Newton

 

This is the dish I shopped for… mixed mushrooms, sprouts, bamboo shoots, shrimp in a sauce that is essentially black sesame oil, soy sauce and vegan hoysin with corn starch to thicken.

 

Putting up leftovers… maybe better pic?



Next time, cook less (time) and with less liquid. I want more crispness in the veggies and more minimalist sauce. I know my use of the cover set me back as did not drying my ingredients better after prepping. Next time….

 

I've taught my girlfriend well! Pan roasted herb/lemon salmon, medley potatoes mash and topped arugula/spinach. 10/10

 

BLAT. Bacon, lettuce, tomato and avocado on wheat. Lightly toasted and heavily mayo'd.

 

What does the fish look like in the middle, rose?
