Some ribs, a half chicken w/ beans, rice and plaintains, and a hangar steak w/ some veggies.
A deli sandwich, a ridiculous biscuit, and a butter croissant soaked in heavy cream then fried then covered with cinnamon butter, maple syrup and fresh fruit.
Roasted pork with plantains and beef empanada and a ridiculous milkshake with a piece of cheesecake on top.
ā¦itās a shrub, but itās mainly the tubers that are utilised for consumption⦠itās been a staple food for those in the Tropics for 1000s of years.
It tastes fantastic⦠I grew up on the stuff⦠my family posting it over to here, so that we could eat the food of our ancestors⦠well, that ancestral line at least.
Roasted paprika/garlic-rubbed chicken, griddled courgette, and brown rice⦠with half a corn-on-the-cob.
ā¦quite yummy.
An early dinner for me today:
Roasted paprika/garlic-rub chicken, griddled courgette, and two types of squash with very different textures⦠one green with a dark yellow cheddar-like crumbliness interior to it, the other pale yellow and soft and fleshy.
The first pumpkin I mentioned is definitely an acquired taste⦠but itās mature cheddar-like interior does grow on the palate.
Lol⦠did you need to call an ambulance after?
Iām not good with carbs⦠I think theyāre being mis-sold to us as wholly vital, so that someone can make a quick buck from our bang⦠for want of a better word.
no way bro. iāve got an adamantium lined stomach. i can eat anything but snails. for religious reasons, which i donāt want to get into.
yeah i got no problem with my carb intake. iāll burn that reuben and cheese-fries basket off in less than an hour, no prob.
as for marketing, the way to figure out whatās going on is to pinpoint whoās profiting from some bit of data, whether itās a lie or the truth. if youāre experiencing a ācarbs are bad no wait carbs are goodā argument somewhere in the media, most likely the ācarbs are badā is the truth⦠but itāll be exaggerated, because those nutritionists are also getting paid to publish these reports, somehow, somewhere.
Currently eating my way through cuts off of subtlety-seasoned roasted shoulder-of-lamb, 3 types of nuked squash, and pan-fried courgette⦠washed down with an Organic Tempranilloā¦
the reuben is the brainchild of a jewish lithuanian grocer and his fellow poker players - known as āthe comitteeā - in the state of nebraska. the unique but strange idea for the sandwich is quite apropos, since we are given to ask of a lithuanian jew grocer poker player; āwtf are you doing in nebraska, anyway?ā perhaps it is true that novel circumstances give birth to novel ideas. one must wonder what kind of sandwich would be conceived by a protestant nebraskan wheat farmer should he have residence in iceland and take up the sport of curling. i can only speculate.
Indeedā¦
I have had the pleasure of having had a lamb chilli-con-carne⦠with diced carrots and sweetcorn instead of tomatoes and kidney beans, and brown rice, for the last two days. It was too tasty.
ā¦and for today.
Currently consuming an aromatic courgette-soup⦠would also work with pumpkin, carrot, cauliflower, greens, asparagus etc. etc.
I once knew a Lithuanian girl. Track scholarship. 80s hipster style. Denim jackets and vinyl pants type chick. At least 10 years younger than me. Good times.
So when I go to these upper class restaurants I always stare dumfoundedly at the menu because I donāt know what half the shit is on it. I usually end up defaulting to what has never failed me and is always reliable; the burger. They call this one a Hawaiian burger. Not entirely sure what it is, but I know what Hawaii is and I know what a burger is, thus I am confident itāll be somehow familiar.
I ate a Chinese dish called Beef with Garlic Sauce.
Tucking into⦠I guess what can only be called a goulash, of carrot and pumpkin and courgette and chicken, and seasoned with garlic and paprika and a mild sliced green chilli. I have to say⦠it was very good.
A green tea for afters.
