Foodies BS Thread.

Yep.

 

had venison stroganoff for dinner tonight...works great!

 

Outstanding !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soybeans.

Mighty tasty, packed with protein and good fiber. Excellent side dish.

 

We went a little overboard with the Superbowl food. This is for a family of four .LOL .But we had fun making everything, and lunches are taken care of for a few days.

 

Haha, looks great. Are those tater tot skewers?

 

Yes. Tots with crumbled bacon and cheese.

 

Family of 14 you say?

All looks mighty good.

 

Sad part is we did not even watch the game! Just used it as an excuse to make all the foodies!

 

Well that sounds like Game On to me.

 

Same here. It's a great excuse!

 

Hey you foodies!

Getting ready to buy/replace the kitchen knives we lost in the fire.

Any brands in particular that you’re exceptionally fond of? I don’t think I want to buy a pre-determined set, as I don’t think I’ll use them all.
Chefs
Paring
Bread

What else?

 

Victorinox. Great bang for the buck, if that's a thing at all for you.

 

I like my Chicago Cutlery. But, they are 35 years old so no idea of the current quality. I love me some walnut handles tho.

 

what price range? that can dictate what you are buying

 

Yes I want quality, I know that comes at a price. But I’m also not a career chef, just a decent cook.

 

If I were to buy knives again, i would probably look for something like the Victorinox, JA henkles, or Whustof. I would also not buy as many knives. I really only need a large chef knife, a paring knife, bread knife and then maybe a carving knife.

 

That’s the me-made set I’m thinking too. Just the ones I use. (And a set of steak knives, but I’ve already bought those).


For Chefs knife, would you get a 6” or 8” blade?

 

i personally would go with the 8", but i'm a larger individual with big hands so it just fits me better.

 

I've got a 10" chef and a full set of Santoku knives - they chop just about everything.

 

Mine is a 10 inch. It's a little big. I have always wanted a 6 inch, just never got one. My wife bought me these knives years ago, and she bought the biggest and longest they had. Wishful thinking or worship?
I also bought a Work Sharp last fall. Best 70 bucks I ever spent! So easy even a cave man can do it, and nearly impossible to f up. And knives are razor sharp.
