Wife said she wanted shepperds pie, just did a google for chef jon

should have left it on the counter for 20mins to "settle", first square fell apart, went for seconds later and it was standing up

If you're going to make shepherd's pie I seriously recommend trying Gordon Ramsay's recipe. It's very easy, and it's bloody delicious.

All it is is a giant God damn hot dog loaf. I don't think I've had Bolognese since I was a kid but it was always one of my favorites. White bread, slice of cheese and some mayonnaise and mustard, honey we're good to go.

Bar I used to go to every Thursday to play team trivia had a fried bologna sandwich on the menu. They would cut pretty thick slices and load up on toasted white bread with American cheese, bologna fried on the flat top with some french fries onion rings or tater tots. Salt City, but it was pretty delicious and I think they only charged like six bucks for the whole basket. Can't beat that especially with $2 beers of any sort.

They meant a pretty mean club sandwich too, and just stacked with a ton of meat and bacon.
I used to work with this old guy when I was young that ate a bologna sandwich every god damn day. I never saw him eat anything else until one day he brought in ribs. Best fucking ribs I'd ever had. Turns out he had been a competitive pit bbq guy for 30 years. The next day he was back to bologna. Asked him why he always ate it, and he said bologna was his favorite meat.

Sometimes you know what you like.

Hey you like what you like. I saw an interview with David Lynch and apparently he always ate like chicken salad and steamed broccoli everyday, I mean that's a pretty retarded ass combination of food but he did it because he didn't have to think about it so we could concentrate on his wacky movies

Maybe the dude you knew was doing something similar to where he could sit there and focus on making the greatest ribs ever, because he didn't have to fuck around with making bologna sandwiches.

I have the same issue with cold sandwiches. My mom would buy generic white bread, spread some generic miracle whip on it, and then buy those little packets of 3 micron thick cold cuts that light literally shines through and are meant to be used with like 10 slices on one sandwich and put one or maybe two slices on it and call that a sandwich. I distinctly remember overhearing her ranting on the phone once that "putting meat and cheese on the same sandwich is like 2 sandwiches!". She still thinks if she buys those blister pack cold cuts that are 1/16" thick that's "really nice" sandwich meat.

She's a decent cook and a good baker but makes utterly terrible sandwiches and because of that when I think about having a cold sandwich it gives me a kind of "yuck" feeling even though I know that a decently made cold sandwich can be delicious.
lol man same here.. my ptsd with sandwiches was so bad it wasn’t until I met my wife when she was like “you know we can just buy more cold cuts, you don’t have to ration them one slice at a time….” Now big, meaty sandwiches are a regular occurrence but I still feel extravagant using too much.

Apparently this gift came up within the search for just Gordon, and I'm sorry I couldn't help myself but I had to Lincoln but I completely agree with you. I'm not in control of the algorithm, I don't know how to make a shepherds or cottage pie, and mine will crush the Oriental on our forum who tried to make it and just shit the bed.

Maybe we should have a shepherd's pie battle, because I'm ready to throw down.

lol, I'm 100% sure this wasn't what wasn't happening. Him bringing those ribs in was like an affront to his bologna.

This video was kinda enraging. The raging day drinking was already getting to me, but the part where he said "stuffing is evil" I had to parachute out. I'm sorry, Turkey is a vehicle to cook the perfect stuffing.

Lanx Lanx which Emeril air fryer did you get? Amazon has all of them on sale for stupid Black Friday, but I think I'm going to pull the trigger. Apparently though there are different models and I don't remember which one you had gotten and were happy with. They don't have a rotisserie feature?

Emeril Lagasse Extra Large French Door Air Fryer Toaster Oven Combo, 24 Cooking Functions and Digital Controls, 7 Accessories Included, Stainless Steel Finish, 26QT Capacity

the "dual zones" is basically a double oven, for that you sacrifice the rottisserrie and there are the smaller ones that open the standard window down way, i wanted the dual doors which is so much easier to clean and to "get in there"

That's a decent deal on it right? I want to say the last time I looked it was like 200 bucks or something.

I totally get you. I haven't had meatloaf since I was a kid, because of how horrifically awful my mom's meatloaf was. I know on paper I should probably like it, but its been a huge no my whole life. Especially weird with the fact that I'll eat things like chicken feet, fish heads, pig snout or menudo without blinking.
Make this and understand this is an ideal state for Meatloaf. You will not be disappointed. I love meatloaf personally as my dad always made it and it was awesome.


Speaking of it never occurred to me that this Nip might make Gratin too so I'll try making it

Wow, Japanese lady discovered Salisbury steak. It's a culinary miracle! The gratin recipe looks ok, but didn't I post the other day to add blanched leeks.

Hambagu is sort of in between meatloaf and salisbury you hater.
I'm not saying it's bad, just reading the ingredients it's basically Salisbury steak. The only Japanese stuff is the panko and mushrooms, and those are substitutable. Not even soy sauce, bitch is this Worcestershire, a superior Western ingredient!

Worcestershire is just a good way to make that ghetto demi-glace in the recipe. I make a demi-glace that's a lot less ghetto than the one in that recipe but is still pretty far from being a proper demi-glace. It's also far cheaper than a proper demi-glace though, but funnily enough it does use soy sauce.

Nostalgia has set in, fellas.
Ten years...2015 was the last Thanksgiving for the G man. (Incidentally, I adore that this thread keeps his name.)
I do not remember much about the food, but I do remember the gathering.
His mom had died earlier in the year, and my sister, who hosted, made certain to hold an empty chair in her memory. Also, I am certain all bets were off with regard to our no sodium no carb rule, because he was in hospice by that time and the known life remaining was very short.
May you be as surrounded in love as we were. May your bellies be filled and your mouths be smiling. Happy Thanksgiving. ❤️
