Food The (not so) delicious food thread

[Jehannum]

@APRIL made penne ala vodka last night. It would have been the perfect pairing! But I'm trying to not drink this week.

How much vodka did that slore add that it was still alcoholic?

edit, oh, you meant the weird martini. N/M.

Sauvignon blanc or zinfandel make more sense than something salty

vodka + pasta + pasta water + vodka martini makes more sense

Martinis are not vodka.

I’m now thinking of making gazpacho with a vodka base.

It's true, we've been over this: no beans = Texas Chili.

Gnocchi is not pasta

I forget this argument but it's true no beans is Texas Chili.

Speaking of chili I made chili with Bison meat and beans and it was really good. I want to try venison next.

No just vodka martinis dont have the botanical taste of gin or gin and vodka which is a significant part of the flavor profile. I dont like vermouth, cocchi americano is much better.

I do like manhattans though. Occasionally. My everyday gotos would be something citrusy.

The only ones who will care about that are snooty asswipes from dallas

It's all Texas to me. You guys arent as weird as Californians though. The west coast is very odd.

As a general rule, anything that offends purists will make your food taste even better.

Chili is all about touching as many things as possible that make food good. You want sweet, tangy, smoky, spicy, savory, umami-y, salty, etc all at once... Beans brings carbs to the party, and release starch which thickens the chili and makes the texture better.

While I agree with you, vodka is 100% a spirit to be used in martinis.

I ordered a dirty martini once and it was the saltiest fucking thing I have ever consumed

Fun fact: this is likely the first recorded fart joke in a movie

I remember watching this movie on either basic cable or broadcast in the 1980s, and the farts were edited out, but the n word wasn't.

It's made with the water from a jar of pickled olives, what were you expecting?

Went to Frank Pepe’s for lunch, had the white clam pizza with bacon.

I have forgotten how good pizza can be while living in TN, it really is lacking there.

Frank’s was spectacular, I like most kinds of pizza, but New Haven is best.


The room clearing farts from the clams and garlic are a bonus.
