Foodies BS Thread.

We love lamb. I grew up on a ranch in South Africa. We had about 300 head of sheep, so there was mutton on the table at least 5 times or so a week. Wife and kids also like it, but it is just not really available here where we live (Florida). Mostly imported from New Zeeland. A rack of lamb goes for @12/lb - I like it but not that much! Legs go for about $5 or $6/lb which is what we get most of the time, but not more than once a week.

 

A couple times a year we have a group of friends get together and do a whole lamb on a spit. That's good eating!

 

Ya I'm north of you in FL, we are in Citrus County. I wish my wife and daughter liked it as it used to be a staple for me. Every time I've made it or we have had it out though the wife doesn't like it, says it's too strong tasting for her. She also won't eat pork if it's really strong tasting and same goes for beef. Some people

 

Man that's just mean, my mouth is watering now looking at those pics.

 

i just tried to sniff my computer monitor!!

 

Been busy and forgot to post, but some recent cooks:

Mesquite Smoked Brisket

Pics don't do justice, but these filets were 4" thick pregrilling.

Bone-in Ribeyes, baked potatoes, with just the right amount of grilled broccoli.

 

Currently eating some oysters, shrimp, and blue crabs for my dads birthday.

 

RED CHILE AND PORK STEW (CARNE ADOBADA)
Deboned and cubed up pork butt, seasoned and browned.

Toasted, rehydrated red chilis and added all seasonings and blended and strained.

Then combined all and simmered for 2-1/2 hours. Then totally pigged out

 

Could not decide what to grill for dinner, so we decided on a little bit of everything.

 

A couple months ago we had our annual shrimp boil. Shrimp, sausage, corn, taters, carrots and more. Nothing better than standing around a table eating great food and drinking beer with friends.

 

Good looks great and the statement is so true. The good people make it even better, the food, the laughs, the reminders of the stupid crap we did when younger. Usually as as the nights go on we break out cards against humanity for some more laughs.

 

My humble lunch today.
‘Brown rice, fried egg, and some kimchee.

Fear factor food to most. Bittermelon w chicken. In a black bean sauce.
I grew up eating it. I love it.

 

What is bittermelon?

Ya chicken can be pretty scary.

 

Hard to describe. It’s bitter like black coffee. Really good for the human body.

 

Instant pot Beef Stew.

 

That stew looks great!

 

Burning thru the last of the seasons tomatos. (Given to me by coworkers)

I charred everything for a salsa. Added two jalapeños which blew it past my wife’s heat limit.

Bright it to work to eff them up. Haha.

Next time. Smaller batch.
