Simply Simon posted:Pommes frites is the French (or I guess Belgian, technically?) term for fries, so fried pommes de terre, which is "apples of the earth" - potatoes. German and Austrian dialects also call them Erdäpfel, same thing. I actually knew that, but I still don't know what Pommes rot-weiß is or why it's a mixture of two different languages.

And nah that's the wrong way to do pulled pork. Low and slow smoked in a rub that crisps up over time and seals all the juices in and then coated in smoky BBQ sauce it's delicious Gridlocked posted:I'm the standard Tartar sauce Brisbane has those suburbs too. Thankfully Brisbane is getting better with stuff like BBQ and it's not over priced. I live up in Toowoomba and make the trip down to see friends probably twice a month and I've not been disappointed. Oh wait, there was one time where I went to Brewski and got a schooner of Belgian Tripel. "That'll be $19". Almost had a fuckin heart attack. I hate that dumb nerds have made bacon out to be this godlike top tier food but I like eating it and would unashamedly eat this

I live in goddamn Minnesota and I couldn't count the number of Indian places within TEN miles on two hands. Maybe don't live in a hellscape more devoid of culture than the frigid Midwest?

I had pork belly in a soup in China at a 'business lunch' for lack of a better word and it was alright... but weird, because the skin was left on the cubes and I could feel the hair follicles. Anyway, coming from eastern NC, I take it as a bit of a personal affront when pulled pork is done wrong. Should be hot, moist, tender, and the sauce should have vinegar in it. You should preferably get it from a place like this, which looks like it wouldn't pass a health code inspection.  It'll be a sad day when they close their doors for good.

There were loads of people who were crazy about it, but I thought it was unadulterated slop. Was this cafe Rosa Rosa? The Sugar Bowl? Cause the former had amazing spaghetti pizza and the second one is trash

Went out to dinner tonight and one of the suggestions was a place called the Artsinal Burger Company. Reading this thread has made me inwardly cringe at the mere mention of artisnal now. We ended up going somewhere closer though so I wasn't able to see if it was actually good.

Scathach posted:Artisan sriracha is pretty stupid. $14 for 6.4oz and it's just chilies crushed with garlic in vinegar. I can almost guarantee that original rooster sauce is tastier than this stuff. It's like claiming "artisan soy sauce" or "artisan ketchup." Artisan Soy Sauce and Ketchup are both very real things. High end bottles of soy sauce from renowned distilleries often go for prices you normally associate with Wine in Japan. Because it's fermented you get the same things you associate with wine, where different breweries have signature molds and yeasts they have been brewing and using for hundreds of years along with all kinds of secrets and special barrels etc. I'm not so much a believer in artisan ketchup but a local burger place makes their own and it's very good, has a sort of slightly spicy balsamic vinegar flavor to it that's very nice. I would never pay 6 dollars for a bottle of it but if someone told me they really cared about food and that was the only kind they bought I could see why.

The worst new trend are all the spiritual successors to Gogurt and Snack Paks. Where a company either takes a product that is already easy to eat, but puts it in 4x as much packaging and marks it up 50% or they combine things that are already easy to make into a "new product." My local grocery store is constantly hyping Tyson Chicken "Wyngz." They are a small box of frozen chicken wings that includes a small pouch of frozen BBQ sauce. This package is 1/4 the size of a regular bag of frozen wings and costs as much as buying an entire bottle of BBQ sauce and a bag of wings that is 4x larger. You are already buying frozen chicken that you have to go home and cook. What value is added by that tiny packet of frozen BBQ sauce that justifies a 4x price increase?!?

Wings are actually my favourite thing of all. Nothing wrong with brisket being like pulled pork but I prefer it to be sliceable and tender as hell. And yeh I'm hitting up the smoke next trip down. My friend is in a ribs club that just went there and raved about it El Estrago Bonito posted:Artisan Soy Sauce and Ketchup are both very real things.

Because it's fermented you get the same things you associate with wine, where different breweries have signature molds and yeasts they have been brewing and using for hundreds of years along with all kinds of secrets and special barrels etc. I can confirm that I would probably pay a fair amount for good soy sauce but kikkoman is always gonna get my money. Similarly, I know a (stupid because he wastes a lot of money) dentist who blew like way too much money on 50 year old balsamic vinegar. I have my doubts that it would be worth what he paid but it's his money I guess so yeah. Also making you own sauce is the best way to find what you like. I've never bought BBQ sauce since making my own. Ketchup is Step 2, and I've made something similar to a sriracha sauce but with ghost peppers, Carolina reapers, habaneros and Moruga scorpions. It's really good and you can make things just how you like them Also sorry for the slight derail lmao FFT posted:it's popular on reddit FTFY

Simply Simon posted:No! It's plain ketchup and plain mayo being drizzled on the fries seperately! I must be so hard to understand because NOBODY UNDERSTANDS THE GLORIOUS DEUTSCHE PLANS FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD For full effect, it surely needs to be that stuff in a tube that looks uncannily like toothpaste (possibly more suitable for the anti-food porn thread):  The rest of the world tends to blend the two ingredients until they're pink, and for some reason every nation from Venezuela to Oman thinks this beautiful creation is their very own and has a different name for it. I had a long, earnest discussion with an Argentinian who simply couldn't understand why we Brits hadn't heard of 'salsa golf'.

At what point will the tableware become so mixed up that places will set out a normal table just with everything in the wrong object. All they need to add to those chips in a pint glass would be a pint served out of a soup bowl.
