OT: The Food & Drinks Thread Part Deux

[Kriss E]

2 things I love, but together? Intriguing.

I did some bacon wrapped dates. I didn't get it but man, it's quite the amuse-bouche in the end.

I used to fry bacon almost to the crispy stage and then add a little maple syrup to the pan. The bacon soaks it up and gets nice and crunchy.

I'm not necessarily opposed to ketchup. It has it's uses; a burger is not one of them.

Generally speaking, there shouldn't really be anything sweet on burgers. There are exceptions (e.g. caramelized onions, grilled pineapple), but these are components where the natural sugar is drawn out of the ingredient.

What other ingredients do you use to complement grilled pineapple in a burger?

Ipecac?

I've tried grilled pineapple on a burger. It's ok. I much prefer just having the grilled pineapple on its own. Maybe with a little bit of rum sauce or vanilla ice cream.

Ipecac?

Is that an anagram for icepac?

You'll need one after the ipecac.

In Mexico and the Philippines they have beach stands that sell grilled pineapple on a stick with lime and chile. It's fantastic.

Pineapple?

Now you get out of here there aint no place for your kind round these parts

Pineapple was rather common in some parts,certainly Hawaii and other parts of the SP. Prefer it as a dessert though after a Thai dinner and not on my burger.

Save some of it for Cubanos!

I have no idea how to prep the pork for that and I got to get on this fairly soon. Gonna have to be done in a few batches though.

A Cubano is a also known as a Cuban Sandwich. Some of your carnita would be an ingredient for it. Just look online - there'll be a few variations but all pretty similar. I like them toasted panini style.

Checked how they do the carnita, guess my way is a slight deviation,but will be flavorful seeing as I'll add more seasoning etc. Gonna have a good 10 kilo at least after all is cleaned up and reduced. Pretty hearty sandwiches with all the meat.

It is a lot of meat. It would be great in burritos too. Refried black beans, cheese, a little rice, salsa and the carnita rolled in a tortilla.

Sorely disappointed by the Cubano I had in Mtl at La Habanera..

Turned out to be a lot less than expected,so much bone,skin and fat.
That sounds pretty scrumptious!

What went wrong? It's not rocket science to create a good sandwich.

It does not help that neither the owner or cooks are Cubans.

Well I somewhat disagree...I've tested some seriously good sandwiches here in HK, as simple as they may be, you still need to know wtf you doing.
