Remove all that bare burnt crust and I’d be all over it. Testicles or not.
Charcute-what? Do you mean churros?Originally Posted by Ian
Churrocuterie.
Chorizo.
Spikey was right that causing a commotion by posting something inane is my superpower.
Bro, the meat looks raw. Add an S to inane.
Does it mate! Wow! You're the first one to bring that up!

Been to Swadish on Ingram Street, @-james-?
Absolutely incredible.
Keep the Glasgow recommendations coming for food and beers, I'm over there twice next month for stays.
Seguing from the discussion on tofu in what was probably the politics thread I had a tofu ramen for lunch today that was so bad I feel ill having eaten it.
I know I brought it on myself [vegetable taste like sad] but this had rocket and cherry tomatoes in it ffs! Easily one of the worst things I have ever eaten.
I've never had tofu. Does it have a point beyond being protein (?) to carry the taste of other things or does it actually have its own flavour?
More of a texture than a flavour [although it can be flavoured]. There are loads of different ways you can have it, most of which are alright enough, some are very good [fried/crispy/salt and chilli] and some of which are terrible, cf in ramen from this place
It's a protein to carry other flavours, it tastes like nothing. There are different types with different textures, but the flavour is always nothing. You can buy ones that are premarinated but the tofu itself still never has a flavour of its own.
It has a taste it's just very bland.
Although because it's very bland it carries flavours seriously well.
Did Gousto this week and one of the recipes was pad Thai. But they had no peanuts and substituted them with something called nigella seeds, so had to go the shop anyway to get peanuts. Waste of time.
I'm a twit
I never bother marinating tofu. Remove as much liquid as you can, bit of seasoning with sea salt, maybe some garlic powder, nooch, whatever.
It doesn't need to have a strong flavour. Stick it in pretty much anything Asian and it's a match made in heaven.
Mapo Tofu is the obvious one. Mapo Chicken would be shit.
This is one of my favourite recipes at the moment, I urge you all to try it.
It's behind a paywall.
Tofu is shit.
Just count it as a win.
I'm concerned about a recipe that calls for spinach to be wilted before adding tofu. That tofu on the picture behind the paywall has definitely been cooked for longer than 10 seconds.
I've never wanted to punch a post in the face before
Step 1, hth.
My bad.

My mate owed me £20 I'd forgotten about so paying £15 (£5*2 plus postage) for two big tubes of blood/fat felt like a sensible investment. They are class. Did em in the air fryer and they came out really good. Agree with @Lewis that it'll be painful to go back to the supermarket muck (especially the ubiquitous Bury black pudding company). Prob getting a bit carried away with the air fryer and will probably fry the rest like a normal person.
Haram.
It is indeed hard to swallow the supermarket muck now. The only thing against that stuff is that it goes out of date in about five minutes, whereas the Bury stuff, in its defence, lasts forever in the fridge owing to its high sawdust content.
That looks like proper black pudding. It’s completely gone here now, been looking for it for ages. Even from the fancy shops all you have is that shite that’s full of oatmeal.

Going here tomorrow.
That's a beautiful rondel.

Made FRIED CHICKEN and WAFFLES for breakfast today, with lots of maple syrup, like a proper Yankee Doodle Dickhead. Well, a facsimile of one as the waffles were made without a waffle maker (and I don't mean some 40-something sket from Dundee) and the fried chicken was done in the air fryer, but was pretty good. Shit photos to come later, maybe.
So, baked chicken and pancakes then?
yeah pretty much, especially on the pancake front, but the air fryer does do it a lot closer to deep frying than I expected
Is it a paddle or basket type one? I’ve never had much luck getting anything like fried chicken out of my paddle one. It just knocks all the flour mixture off, and if I remove it then it’s just an oven.
Doesn't fried chicken need to be 'pressure fried' which, to me, always sounds like something that's going to go explosively wrong in a home environment?
Yeah the proper stuff is. My local chippers recently got the oven thing for it and it was 15 grand.
I’ve never thought of a pressure cooker experiment but I can’t imagine it going well.
Paddle, last time I did it in the bottom bit with the paddle removed which as you say is basically just doing it in an oven but it was okay, and this time I did it in the top bit which just rotates without an actual paddle pushing the stuff around.
Obviously it isn't as good as frying it, but the coating had a good texture. I think getting the flour mix right (plain flour plus a bit of baking powder for me ), and leaving it to marinade in the buttermilk mix long enough (I did it overnight) is almost as important from my experiments with both the air fryer and actually deep frying it.
True. The buttermilk makes a huge difference. I’m half thinking of getting enough to dunk the turkey in this year.

Chicken looks good to me. Did you do the waffles on a George Foreman? I had to make eggy bread on mine the other day when the gas was run out.
cast iron griddle pan, first practise one was a bit thicker but a lot less fluffy and waffle-like, so on balance those waffle-pancake hybrids were about the best compromise
I like fried chicken and I like waffles, but putting them together should be a crime.
What's with Americans making normally savoury food sweet? They chuck maple syrup over bacon for breakfast too, don't they? Just have a proper fry up, dickheads.
Maple syrup with bacon is allowed.
The classic american problem of not knowing when to stop.
I tried this chicken and waffle with maple syrup madness for the first time just the other day. I would have previously derided it but it was pretty palatable as far as the white man's attempts at cooking go.
