This is to dump quick pictures, descriptions and discuss you dinners... You know what to do! Show the skills, the considerations and the failed experiments that you made - get feedback, get mad props. Now is your time to shine, you goddamn diamond in the rough - dazzle us with your camera abilities - photograph your food in odd settings, perfect lighting, being eaten by LEGO people, just show us what it is that you have done! People will then either ridicule you or they will compliment you, but one thing is sure - you will inspire many food-porn motivated foodgasms around the world. But.. rules! * You cannot, ever, claim that your camera cannot capture red - ever... * Salsa chicken is not a thing that exists, and shall be trolled into the ground if it should ever appear * You are not, ever, allowed to post pictures of chicken and cheese in the same frame (if it is in sandwich form) * A hamburger is not a sandwich * You cannot post pictures of food that are based off onion soup mix * You are not allowed to mention onion soup mix * You are allowed to give all the constructive criticism that you want to give, but be prepared to be challenged * You can ask any question you want (except about onion soup mix or salsa chicken or chicken cheese sandwiches) * Pictures are a plus, but not a must, however, do not expect people to think that you're awesome without the picture * The opposite of a cactus is two lines of coke and a glass of milk * Quick and dirty with crappy cell phone pictures are ok * Nicely lit pictures are ok too * Be ready to answer questions - because people will want to copy you * Remember that the people in this thread means well. But most are socially challenged and are not always able to use their inside voice before putting fingers to the keyboard, if you take offense to this, it is you who are in the wrong. The rules are there for your own protection. Now post! Edit: I should mention that by posting herein, you agree to the rules, including the cactus subclause.. Now dazzle me!

Excellent photography skills as well, btw, thanks for not raising the bar too high [/sarcasm] :-P for content: we bought a piece of cow that's not a common piece of meat over here...literally translated, it would be "donkey"...some research showed that in America it is called tri-tip, which is pretty common, lol. So far for exotic and strange pieces of meat... Anyway, the dinner was lovely, with brussel sprouts, mushrooms, potato gratin and really nice an flavorful meat.

paraquat posted:wow, could you elaborate a bit on the sauce/seasoning and the way you made the sesame seeds stick? Photo taken with a phone, but thanks  Basically - for the glacing of the salmon... Sweet chili sauce, a goodish knob of ginger, 3 cloves of garlic, soy sauce, oil. Mince the garlic - and let it simmer in the oil - mince ginger, add with soy and sweet chili sauce - marinade fish in sauce for a while. Quickly (on a hot pan with oil), sear the upper side of the fish, remove and turn in marinade again. Dip sides in sesame seeds - into oven for 5-10 minutes - add some of the marinade over the top when halfway through. Done..

So far for exotic and strange pieces of meat... That looks great. Tri tip is a much more common cut on the West Coast of the US. Where are you located? How did you cook yours? I usually do it Santa Maria style, with a rub and over the grill, though the oven is fine too. Makes amazing sandwiches with some crusty, buttered grilled bread.

I made a version of Sicilian caponata and served it with polenta that I made in the oven (as it's much easier than doing it on the stovetop). I am too lazy to take pictures; it wasn't very photogenic as a dish anyway, but tasted good. I love the sweet-sharp agrodolce of caponata.

Trying to be healthier slash more creative so made sticky pork meatballs with a rice noodle salad.  Was great, iajwife loved it even though she hates chilli. Was amazed that the dressing came together, although I omitted the oil in the last part since I thought I was overdoing it and it could probably have used the extra liquid.

Two scrambled eggs and a piece of toast. I didn't take a picture, so you'll have to try and imagine two scrambled eggs and a piece of toast. I only had enough bread for one piece of toast, or I'd have eaten two pieces of toast for dinner. I have a new loaf of bread so tonight (hold onto your hats) I plan on two scrambled eggs on two pieces of toast.

Deconstructed Beouf Bourguinon. The ingredients were cooked separately to maximize their individual potential before plating them together. Buttery glazed carrots, pearl onions, beef chuck roast cooked for 60 hours at 135*F, white corn polenta, and a rich red wine sauce.  Dessert plate: Apple compote in a crepe, with a scoop each of cardamom+lemongrass ice cream and apple+earl grey tea sorbet. I also brought forth the power of the elements by setting the dish on FIRE with brandy. The ice cream/sorbet were made to be chemically heat resistant, so they didn't melt at all even when I poured flaming brandy on them. Also a yummy glance at my hella buff forearm.

Yeah that's the way to do it if you aren't gonna do tableside flambe on a hot plate. Warm up a pan on the stove just enough so that the brandy will evaporate a bit when you pour it in, pour in the brandy, and light that fucker up since the alcohol is fuming. Some of the alcohol will still remain, but the presentation is loving awesome.

There are too many fantastic things in this thread so it is my duty to lower the tone.  trigger warnings ahead I had some venison salami that was rapidly approaching end of life and thought a pizza may be a good idea rather than having a sandwich. I confess that I have only ever made a pizza base once before and it was from a pre-mixed box. Shameful. Also had an overload of tinned plum tomatoes for reasons that are unimportant. What could go wrong? Well, with all stores closed, I realised that my remaining dried yeast was a year and a half old. gently caress it - I'm commited now! Also I had no 00 flour so went with strong bread instead (the internet can't seem to agree if that's a better sub than pasta flour, which I also had). Oh, also no pizza stone, or, apparently, the ability to make dough into anything resembling a circle. But the tomato sauce I made (with lots of chili since we're going spicy) was good so I wasn't going to be stopped.  Black olives, I know  Where's the cheese? Ah, I didn't have any mozzarella either. Sharp cheddar do? Internet says "hell no!" with one caveat that you can add it halfway through cooking. So that's what I did. And...it was actually rather good! Probably didn't rise as much as it should but the crust was a good combo of crunchy/chewy. Triumph over adversity!  To atone for my pizza sins (no pizza rules!), I also made some tasty (but messy) gooseberry fools from some homegrown dessert ones.
