Cult Icon Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Peking Duck for dinner F*ck the chicken, bring me duck.. Duck fat is so good, I'd forgotten what it tasted like I even considered on tearing the skin off the bird's head! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enrico_sw Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 ^ Yes! Duck fat is really good and it's actually full of "good fat" (unsaturated fat). You can even use the duck fat itself to cook other stuff (it's better than butter! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can even use the duck fat itself to cook other stuff (it's better than butter! ) Duck meat is much more flavorful. It reminds me of a strong pork but with much tighter texture than chicken. I would say that it reminds me a bit of frog legs. (in terms of texture) The hard part is that ducks are a lot more expensive than chicken, so it is harder to find them stocked here. The old ones have told me of a time where chickens were about 1/2rd the size of the modified chickens of today. They had flavor (unlike the flavorless chickens of today) but were much more rare. During the Great Depression, people made the chickens last. They'd make several meals out of one and make soup with the bones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 My lunch a couple of days ago: Pork; a cut that here we call "Malaya". In other places is called "Matambre". Not sure how would it be called in English. I seasoned it with salt, pepper, oregano and merkén (a smoked chili pepper). I served it with rice and carrots, plus a tomato and half an avocado that can be seen back there. Being pork is fully cooked, so @SuperG.Girl doesn't have any lame excuses to call me a barbarian this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrico_sw Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 If you want to make good use of your barbecue, of your summer (which is not over yet, contrary to what everybody says in the news) and of your Camembert, you can do this! Camembert melted in the barbecue!! Just put it in its wooden box (without the plastic of course) and then in the charcoal (better to put it at the end of the barbecue, after having eaten all the meat, when the flames and temperature are milder) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevork89 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Haven't uploaded in this thread in a while. Last night my sister, mum and I went to a dessert bar.

Enrico_sw Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I just had a cake with raspberry and figs. They added some cream below the fruits. I never tried it before; it's really great! It's not too sweet (only the fruit brings sugar. It looked like this one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyla Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I tried peanutbutter & jelly sandwich for the first time in my life yesterday. It was so much better than I expected, I always thought that this is some discusting thing since I first ate peanut butter. To be fair the jelly component was a very great jam (Blueberry).
