This combination of flavours worked as a mini salad:
- cucumber sliced thin and marinated in plum vinegar
- apple sliced thin and tossed in sugar
- onion strands soaked in rice vinegar and a little salt
- sushi rice
- salty pecorino cheese
- raw tuna, marinated in sake and soy sauce
- dried cherry, chopped

You have some serious skills... If you make everything that you post, you are one talented individual!

May I introduce to you all the "The Bubba Burger", with two 1/2 pound patties of hand formed beef, with bacon, three kinds of cheese, and all the trimmings.


They use a steak knife stabbed through the top to hold it all together, yes it's that big/thick/tall.



You should see their WTF burger.............OMG

[Rusty Heap]

Meat > Tofu
















burp



































and to finish off with a bang, Bacon and Thai Peanut wrapped Chicken Halfs.

[jyl]

I did not make this, a good friend did. Slow cooked lamb shank.



Your basic quickie roast chicken. Spatchcock , brush with tare sauce, 45 min in toaster oven, paint with honey near the end.

Anything > Tofu

[TimT]

Why all the hatin on tofu? there are dozens of different types of tofu, and a myriad of was to prepare it?

I bet you tofu-phobes would enjoy something like this:

Sizzling tofu with spicy sauce, from a little Malay hole in the wall restaurant near my house

[dafischer]

Not a "tofu-phobe", and I'm not "hatin" on it. I just don't like the consistency of it, it's like eating semi solid mush.

I bet a lot of tofu-phones ate tofu without knowing it…

Just like people saying they would never eat horse meat. Maybe knowingly they would not but unless you live in France, Quebec or other few jurisdictions where there is segregated store that sell horse meat, a lot of people have ate it without knowing it and paying beef price in the process. Even Ikea Swedish meatball got got in the scam

Delicious btw...

Bacon wrapped tofu:

[jyl]

Tofu's consistency can be changed a lot by the cooking method and the type of tofu. Soft or silken tofu, simmered, will have that almost-mush wet consistency. Firm tofu, simmered, will be more like a boiled egg white. Firm tofu, pressed before slicing, then sliced and fried with enough heat, will have a crusty exterior and a firm, dry interior. You can also buy pressed and dried tofu which is definitely chewy, almost like luncheon meat. And of course you can bread or batter tofu and deep fry it to make a crunchy treat.

Tofu's taste - well, that is the cool thing about tofu, it can be made to taste like almost anything, because it soaks up marinades and sauces.

It is a pretty flexible food, but you have to experiment.

Or go to a place that prepares it well...

Like I mentioned up there ^^^^ There are many types of Tofu. in the picture I attached Id say that Tofu had a consistency of chicken breast, it had a bit of tooth to it. The sauce is it what makes the dish..

But wait, there's more!!!

There is pork in that spicy sauce!!!

My s/o gets what she calls "water tofu" sometimes when we go to dim sum ... Its a barely solid form of Tofu.. yet with her mad chopstick fu... she is able to pick up large pieces...and I am reduced to asking for a spoon

One of my faves is getting Tofu skin to go in a hot pot, of course along with the Lamb and Beef..

The s/o smiling before we dig in..
