[rezombad]

I still havn't thought of anything. I'll probably make some stir fry if nothing else springs to mind.

[Captain Murphy]

I live off Indian 6 days a week, the other 1 day I will go out to a restaurant usually unless I really just want to stay home and cook

You sound like my girlfriend! I can do thai too!

Favorite Indian... I love Biryani, Malai Kofta, Saag varieties. Its too hard its all so nice! Nothing beats fresh hot naan either.

Green curry is the best thai curry IMO

[Captain Murphy]

Chicken tikka masala is best if the chicken is cooked in the tandoori oven

[DroppinSuga]

Tacos and burritos are excellent.

Polish food is generally the hunter's food. We do love stews (with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigos being our national dish) and meat prepared in specific way - the best example of that is probably Schabowy (specific kind of Shnitzel). Still, the general rule of the thumb is that we put everything we can find in our fridge into single pot and try to make it eatable. And that's probably the way how we cook.
While the traditional polish addition to meat were usually potatos, lots of young people (like me) prefer rice or pasta - as boiling potatos just takes too much time.
I dig all kind of asian and italian food as well. <3

Still, I wouldn't be myself if I wouldn't make all of you feel disgusted when talking about life in Poland. So here's another story.
I live in the city of Lodz. For unknown reason, Vietnamese fast-foods
became extremally popular in here. There are thousands of them - and they prosper well as they serve food at really low costs (let's say - to make a dinner I'd need around 5$. They offer their already-prepared stuff for 3$). BUT few years ago there was a huge scandal.

The owners of those fastfoods were actually using Pidgeons instead of chicken when preparing most of their dishes. So yeah, pidgeons who eat nearly everything and generally spread all kind of diseases.
There were also rumors about dogs and cats being involved but never got confirmed.
Still, since that time - they are like triple-checked by the authorities, so I doubt that's ever gonna happen again.
Nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Whenever I'm asked to prepare something cool to eat - here's my little recipe.

Chicken, Corn, Red Bean, Pepper, tomato-based sauce (you could even use some cheap Spagetthi sauce as base), something to spice this shit up.
Fry up the chicken, put it into pot, mix it with everything else, cook it untill it looks
fine and meat got the aroma from the rest. Serve with anything.
Here ya go son, you got some kind of shitty mexican stew for you and your grlfrnd.

I work at a frozen custard stand. Ask me anything you want to know about it!

These are the best kinds of recipes. I spent like 8 hours working on soup the other day. A little of this, a little of that, some more of this, that thing... Best chicken noodle soup I've ever eaten. I didn't even have a whole chicken, nor thighs, just boneless skinless breasts. So I had to make the stock exceptional.


@Iso Is the custard stand attached to a strip club?

[rezombad]

Oh I forgot a picture:

Found this little gem at the farmer's market. We already have French, Russia and Italian salad dressing. Guy was selling what he called "American" salad dressing.

I kid you not, it was BBQ sauce.

[rezombad]

I just imagined barbecue sauce on a salad and it made me sad.

[Kazekirimaru]

Googled "Barbecue Salad":

[Manasjap]

Can't say I'd be disappointed to find that on my plate

[Jack]

I just had the most glorious serving of bacon. I didn't take a pic of it, and I don't think anything on the internet could do it justice, but the strips were all very fatty and thick, and were cooked in a way that made meat turn a great red color, yet most of the fat didn't just shrivel away and the meat was actually pretty chewy (I like it that way). As always, the second batch was better than the first, since it was cooked in the oils from the first one. The bits stuck between my teeth right now still have some taste to them, and I'm feeling great right now.
