I've been thinking for a while that I ought to make a thread for food places in Birmingham, but I don't know if enough people go there or would give a poo poo. I may just be way too care-hard about my stupid little city but I think there's a lot of good stuff to be had here.

I did it for Atlanta, and honestly it's kind of snowballed into (I think) the most visited city-thread in GWS. I'm surprised - new people have been poking their heads in almost daily the last couple weeks. you never know who's on SA.

My guac has charred tomatillo and serrano, but not a lot since all this poo poo should just be background to your big goopy avocado mass. That being said I have no birthplace terroir to validate it as I'm a whitebread alabama hick.

Yeah. It's crazy. There are a shitton of spoon goons in the inland empire I found out. Weird. Edit: I'll add my guac to the fray. Basically like mindphlux but only one tomato, half an onion minced fine, no garlic, fine minced cilantro and Serrano, lime juice. Generous salt, touch of fresh ground cumin, black pepper. Don't over mash the avo. I got the gist of this from a cantina just outside of puerto Vallarta where my family used to vacation every year when I was growing up. They'd make it tableside. So good.

I'm fine with additions to the basic chunky avacado/tomato/onion/lime mix - some people I think like to add a little toasted cumin, and serrano or other peppers sounds fine - as does tomatillo. I'm just insulted by the notion that guacamole wouldn't have tomato or onion.  GrAviTy84 posted:Edit: I'll add my guac to the fray.

So good. yeah, I'll admit to mine being tomato heavy, but I love tomato. it should probably be made with just one. I also think garlic is optional, but was trying to give wiggles a lil' common ground.  mine also largely comes from tableside-watching-making experience. and my mumsie's recipe, who I'm also sure learned from a tableside-watching-making experience at some place in lower texas/upper mexico. mindphlux fucked around with this message at 06:16 on Apr 19, 2013 |

My guacamole comes from my California roots. It is served to and loved by old Mexican guys at soccer games and bbqs. It makes no justifications. Make whatever you want, though, I guess. I mean, I've seen that people in the delta call a tamale for instance, and while it's sad, it's sometimes just not worth the fight.

Let us have such a contentious debate about guacamole that further discussion of it is forbidden and bannable.

I know that the kind of small businessmen that run restaurants, delis and cafes are known for being assholes about never closing, but... the GF's boss tried to force her to come into work this morning. Since mass transit is closed and the city was on lockdown, he was actually demanding that she take a cab in from the suburbs. And then they canceled taxi service. Weird times, man, weird times. As for guac, I was taught how to make it by authentic* Mexican lady (from Baja), and the ingredients are: quote:avocado, salt, fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro. That's it. I'm OK with some diced onion, I guess, but putting tomatoes in your guac is loving disgusting. Some people in New England mix in sour cream, too, which is also totally wrong. *My authentic is WAAAAAY more authentic then your authentic.

mindphlux posted:HAVING BEEN BORN IN GODDAMN TEXAS If King of the Hill taught me anything of substance, it's that Texans pronounce it GWAKE-a-mol and know nothing at all about the actual preparation of guacamole in the culture of its origin. Guacamole de bart: 3-4 ripe avocados. Haas are best as a base, add another variety if you can for texture. 10 serrano chiles, roasted until the skin is uniformly black, then left to steam in a paper bag until the skin sloughs off like a burn victim's. Key limes to taste kosher salt to taste Combine all ingredients with a butter knife or the side of a fork. Leave some chunks. Top with finely minced cilantro unless you're serving the genetically inferior. Sometimes simplicity is best. That said, I'd eat Wiggles's or mindphlux's or really anyone's guacamole because avocados are delicious no matter how they're made.

I prefer a simple guac of avocado, lime juice, salt, and finely minced garlic. I add some finely minced onion if I'm making it for a crowd, and tomato by request or if I have really good tomatoes which is rare. I'm going to be the weirdo who says he likes his guacamole very smooth - avocado is delicious but if I'm eating guacamole I want every bite uniformly seasoned without big chunks of it.

I've got my fingers crossed for getting one this Christmas from my mom. Canadian Tire puts pretty much all their Kitchen-Aid stuff on sale for 30-70% off in the coming time before Christmas. She's gotten me so many badass Kitchen-Aid things over the past couple years.  I've got my eye on the mixer and/or a dutch oven this year!edit: VVVV This is what I hate most about recipe websites. How can people say they're objectively reviewing the actual loving recipe with a straight face?

Don't you know how many chemicals go into hand soap? It's so unnatural, I think it's better to just use some oil instead of soap since it's less processed. If you really want that soapy flavor you can add in a little bit of wood ash. Don't worry about how much since it's all natural.

Have I been doing something wrong? Soap is great, but ammonia and bleach in my bread dough makes it so airy. Re: guac-this always comes out with little red and white and green bits in it at the restaurant, as well as a big dollop of something white. Whenever I make it home it's just green. What should I do?
