    Everyone loves cheese but I would devour those pepperocini's as well!

    Hey Anca and EFO, meant to show you guys this. If I ever stop by I plan on gaining 10 pounds!


    He has another Romania video but I haven't watched it yet.
    EDIT: Is that video starting from the beginning? I can't get it to start from the beginning even though I specified it to. If it screws up again I will smash my laptop with a 32oz ball peen.

    Dear Strat !!!

    You are invited to Romania, and we hope you gain 10 pounds !!
    We see the movie from the beginning
    "Zacusca" or vegetable jam, since the beginning of the film, we here do it every year, it takes us 8 months to grow vegetables and it takes us a few good hours to make it, but for a winter with cans it's worth it, we do it exactly the same as in the movie below (with English subtitles), but we don't put garlic, it's optional anyway. The jars preserved with zacusca stay for 3 years, and are very tasty in winter when they are cold spread on a hot slice of toast.

    The intake of vitamins is indisputable and goes well with the taste.
    You can drink a cold apple nectar (made by me at home), drink a glass without breathing and you have immunity assured for the current day
    Smoked bacon, farm eggs, and homemade pate, I also put hot peppers preserved by me.
    I took a special picture for you, with the morning snack just as an appetizer before lunch.



    Thanks for the video, we wish you good health!
    Mashed vegetables, traditionally called "Zacusca" is found in any farmhouse in Romania and each has a different taste, others put zucchini instead of eggplant, or it is made only from mushrooms, anyway Europeans like that.

    Thank you and be Blessed and be Healthy Strat!

    This is the recipe

    Delicious Romanian Slow-Cooked Vegetable Spread Zacusca(15:29)

    And all this to be just human.

    I like US Southwest Huevos Rancheros better than the Mexican kind. The main difference is that in the Southwest they're made with potatoes, rather than rice as in most Mexican restaurants elsewhere.

    Its probably not the most elaborate (or even tasyest) of the great recipes we got here, but "calçots" are my favourite.

    Its an old tradition of eating a special kind of elongated onions cooked on a wood fireplace, and dipping them on some nice sauce (romesco or salvitxada) , often accompained with some meat afterwards, and a truckload of wine.

    It is a healthy and tasty meal, but the cool part of it is reuniting family and friends around the table, like a special kind of barbecue.

    If any of you guys end up visiting catalonia on winter/spring, you should definetly try it out.

    About as far from Haute cuisine as is possible, popular dishes from my region are fish and chips, pies, curry, etc...
    Any branch of Greggs (a bakery) is always likely to have queues forming for cheap and cheerful sausage rolls, different types of pies, sandwiches....

    Sausage roll with sauce and farmers union Iced Coffee or locally referred to as the tradies breakfast is common for sth.Oz. Swap Greggs for Villies and I think we might be dealing with mirror images.

    This is a very typical dish served where I live. This gal knows what she's doing and the food looks great! There are variations to the dish like collard greens instead of green beans or BBQ ribs or brisket (my fav) etc etc. I would say that in my opinion the macaroni and cheese and cornbread are mandatory.

    what about hot chicken? I love it. I think they're calling it Nashville Hot Chicken nowadays, but it's been associated with soul food for ages. I think there's even a hot chicken and waffles chain in Los Angeles -- Roscoes?

    This is exactly what I was going to say, including Greggs which I went to today and was talking about with friends earlier.

    But add in apple crumble and custard! I could throw in an Eton mess but it sounds wrong I haven't been able to eat one.

    I consider myself a time travelling earthling, so here is my contribution today. A YT cowboy-cook, Kent Rollins, gives a historical talk about how ranging- or driving- cowpokes were fed, back in the day. Also adds about how his current gig works (hint: they eat better now).

    Pride of Russia, since Soviet times.

    We have revolutionized the cup noodle
    28,522 views Oct 23, 2022

    Bosnian Ape Society
    566K subscribers

    “The Mikoyan and Gurevich Design Bureau has been the symbol of Soviet dominance in aviation and aerospace for over forty years. We are proud to unveil the next chapter of Mikoyan-Gurevich superiority in design and engineering. As expected of a product of fallacious western ideology, the cup noodle is fragile, impractical, incapable, and anemic. With a low service ceiling and a slow maximum rated speed, the current iteration of cup noodles is thoroughly useless for practical use and completely unfit for Soviet consumption. The cup noodle is outdated and in desperate need of modernization. That is why the Mikoyan-Gurevich cup noodle will be manufactured using nickel-steel alloy, enabling it to withstand speeds of over three thousand kilometers per hour. In addition, the availability of this material will allow the Mikoyan-Gurevich to be manufactured on a grander scale that will inevitably lead to the domination of the Mikoyan-Gurevich cup noodle as it fills the shelves of markets everywhere and puts all other cup noodles to shame with its superior design and durability.“
