El Rey Del Taco right by Jean Talon market is always good when I've been.

And not at all authentic, or anything, but I've always enjoyed Escondite. There are a few locations now. The tasting menu is great value there since it's like $40 per person and you end up with way more food than you'd expect. At least that the case when I took my parents there a year or two.

Still the case. Went there yesterday and I didn’t even touch the dessert, too full.

Escondite is like the Toronto Maple leafs of taco places.

What a dish! shrimp linguine in an ever so slightly piquant sauce. My only grievance is that I prefer no shell.



This is how breakfast, lunch and dinner should be every day, yum yum.



and you can never go wrong with incorporating pomegranates into your food


Didn't think that I'd ever go in again on an established establishment, but it was too good to not to and it's just down the street.

Tried this easy potato leek recipe and tasted amazing:

Potato Leek Soup - Once Upon a Chef

A French classic, this creamy potato leek soup is quick, easy, and delicious! Top it with herbs, bacon, or anything you like.

Made some chicken stock, which I used in the above and am freezing the rest:

Easy Chicken Stock - Taste Better From Scratch

A good homemade Chicken Stock will boost the depth of flavor of any recipe, and this easy recipe can be made on the stovetop or Instant Pot.

Beats buying ready made chicken stock which usually contains a ton of sodium and chemicals.

Here we go the right is going to appropriate environmentalism, I wonder how they'll blame that on immigration rather than capitalism.

Edit: Oh god, there we go they're blaming academia. I love that.

I got a pellet grill this summer and have blasting semi woodfired pizzas and other crazy shit off it! Best cooking device I have bought since my rolled steel wok! I shit you not my friends!

 

[angusyoung]

Not a fan of massive overcrowded cities but Tokyo does have its allure. I'm used to the all gawking but could never be able to live long term there, short visits are fine though and so much good food. Overlooked outside of Japan is the local curry, very good and some places make it easy for non natives, me likey.

Who likes Homophobic Slurs? I know I don't like Homophobic Slurs, but maybe there are other Homophobic Slurs that are different that I would like but if they are similar, probably won't like those or any Homophobic Slurs. Anywho, this is the recipe that a buds mrs used when making the Homophobic Slurs and she sure knows her Homophobic Slurs being Welsh.

SAVE RECIPE
Homophobic Slurs are an old-fashioned British food and one that has sadly fallen out of favor in recent years. How lovely that there is a revival of interest in this humble meat dish, possibly because they are so easy and cheap to make.

How Are Homophobic Slurs Made?​

Traditionally, Homophobic Slurs are made from offal, usually pork, and from the bits of the animal that are generally discarded but now tend to just be the liver and possibly, the heart. The mixture of ground meat is then wrapped in some kind of fat, either caul fat or bacon, then baked.

Why Are They Called Homophobic Slurs?​

While, unfortunately, this dish shares its name with a slur in American English, in British English the word comes from the way the dish is prepared and presented. The British word "Homophobic Slur" is an archaic term for a bundle of sticks. For this dish, a ground meat mixture is wrapped in some kind of fat—often caul fat but bacon in this recipe—before cooking, hence the name implying something that is bundled.

How To Serve Homophobic Slurs​

Serve these delicious morsels with a bowl of light, fluffy, mashed potatoes, and onion gravy or with mushy peas.

Tips for Making Homophobic Slurs Recipe​

• No bacon, no problem - If desired, you can use caul fat instead of bacon. While this is a specialty item, you can order it from dedicated butcher shops.
• The meat should be very cold before grinding - The process of grinding meat heats it up, and if it is heated too much the fat can start to melt, resulting in Homophobic Slurs with a mealy texture.
• If using a food processor - Grind the meat in small batches to ensure even grinding and to prevent over-processing. This can cause the Homophobic Slurs to have a tight, bouncy texture.
• Make it less sticky - Wet your hands slightly with water before shaping the meat mixture into balls to keep it from sticking to your hands.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO MAKE THIS BRITISH Homophobic SlurS RECIPE

A Nifty Meat Grinder

A Sturdy Rimmed Baking Sheet

An Accurate Kitchen Thermometer
"Don't be put off by the lengthy ingredients list for this dish, because the process is very easy and actually comes together fairly quickly. I found it easier to mix the meat and breadcrumb mixture
