The Food Thread

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

All this talk of cheese, bacon and sausage has got me thinking we need a general food thread (And making me hungry too...)

Yeah, we have had some food threads before, but why dig up dead threads?

What do you enjoy? What's your favorite? Post recipes.

A "Schwaben Teller", I ate in Böblingen, Germany last month.

Schnitzel, Maultaschen (Meat filled ravioli type pasta), Schweine Geschnetzelte mit Pilzrahm Sosse (Sliced Pork in a muschroom sauce), Spätzle, lentils and wurst.

Sauerbraten, Semmelknödel (Bread Dumplings) and Rotkohl (Red Cabbage).

Mother in laws good cooking back home in Germany...

Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Blackforest Cake)

My absolute favorite cake. Look forward to one every year...

Zwiebelrostbraten mit Bratkartoffeln (Steak and onions with fried potatoes) in Stuttgart, Germany.

Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza, in Chicago of course...

Lobster Roll with Sage Parmesian Fries in Chicago

Some very good Fish and Chips Inhad in Washington DC last September. With Malt Vinigar of course. Why do people ruin it with tarter sauce?

Some Calimari I fried up in a light "wet batter" a few weeks ago. Turned out quite well.

Russian Golubsti (Stuffed Cabbage) near Stuttgart, Germany

Scwäbische Maultaschen, in Stuttgart, Germany

(Meat filled ravioli type pasta in broth).

Great idea Chris, being a chef at work 60+ hours a week means i dont do much proper cooking at home, plus at home i have to clean up my own mess !

Will sort out some pics of stuff i do at work.

I love mexican food if i eat out or when i can at home.

Roast Sirloin of beef and roast chicken, vegetables, potatoes and Yorkshire puddings, served for sunday lunch, you carve this yourself at your table in my restaurant.

please tell me about your slaw dressing, Rochie, I use slaw a lot because it's good value and has a longer shelf life in the fridge. I rotate a repertoire of 2-3 dressings but I'm always on the look-out for ideas. I use soya sauce, canola oil, minced garlic, wasabi paste and a dash of lime juice, for example, as a light dressing. I use sweetened condensed milk with vinegar, oil, mustard powder, garlic and paprika for a creamy dressing that doesn't use mayo.
What's your secret ..

Dont mind the haggis, but fry ups do nothing for me, like all the ingredients but just not all on the same plate
