/ck/ - Food & Cooking

The Round Fourteen theme is:

Comfort Food!

Now that we're getting into Autumn, lets have some comfort food. Feel free to interpret that any way you'd like. Let's see some great dishes in this penultimate round!

The winner of Round Twelve was stfuboosie !!/MEZC9Vdvfg! Congratulations!

The remaining five contestants are:

Anon no. 556 !!tpdJH4SQ2sE
BubbleBurst
John !96Ltn7sP..
stfuboosie !!/MEZC9Vdvfg
The Boyfriend !XAnCYOZBzk

Double eliminated:

Nettle !JroEoSHCIc
Smith the CIA Agent

I wish we could have a round of applause, you guys were great competitors!

This is the last round before the final round, so do your best, everyone!

How many rounds left?

>This is the last round before the final round, so do your best, everyone!

... nevermind. Anyway, only 1 will be eliminated this round?

>>3905548

Yes, one will be eliminated this round, leaving a final four to duke it out in round fifteen.

Oh no, Nettle... What happened to (_(__) anyway? Or was it (__)_)... Those two were my favourites!

>>3906555
(__)_) was eliminated after round 12.

We were both very upset to see Nettle and Smith go. It was a tough call to make, especially since Smith has been consistently improving on his score and Nettle was a personal favorite of mine (I'm a sucker for desserts and pretty plating). Zombie and I hope that the two of you will participate next year! And thank you for giving all of us more oc to look at. :) We, and I'm sure everyone else who has been keeping up with the competition, really enjoyed it.

>>3905546
There is one more round left after this one.

Just to refresh your memory, the prize package is a $60 Visa gift card, a /ck/ coffee mug and apron, the first ever /ck/ Challenge trophy and infinite bragging rights.

>>3908337
Is the voting based on a cumulative score from all the events?

>>3908372
The winner of each round is chosen based on their performance in that week only. Eliminations are based on cumulative score as well as participation.

>>3908402
thank you. I thought smith and nettle were eliminated because of their last performance. May I just say that the last dish Smith presented was probably his best. Sad to see both of those fellas go.

>>3908411
I'm quite sad about it too. Zombie and I were talking before the new thread went up about how weirdly attached to the competitors we've gotten. Part of the reason we decided to make the last round open to a final four instead of a final two is because it's hard for us to keep announcing eliminations to contestants who have often gone above and beyond. : |

It was especially tough this week since, like you said, last week was arguably Smith's best dish to date (and he's been the only contestant who had been scoring higher and higher with each successive round). He's also hung out with a few times over at phoostream and he's a nice guy to boot, so yeah. :/

Nettle, like I wrote above, was always one of my favorites. Unfortunately, it was the participation score that did it.

>>3908432
This whole challenge has been quite the learning experience, I made foods and created things I never dreamed I would do, thank you for holding this competition, I will be looking to cheer on the rest contestants and the next round.

>>3908769
Good to hear it! :) And I hope you come visit us over at phoostream sometime too.

Real life is kicking my ass right now (personal shit + Canadian thanksgiving week-end)... might be able to squeak in an entry Saturday? Any chance of a mini-extension to Sunday or Monday?

Pork stew with Creamy Corn Grits

I created this dish one weekend when I was sick and cold. For me, it is the very definition of “comfort food”. It is inexpensive and uncomplicated. It is warm, a little spicy, and very filling. Slow cooking is an easy way to make food incredible. The pork falls apart gently, and the vegetables melt in your mouth.
The grits are like velvet. They are good on their own but paired with the stew they are amazing. I really like how the corn caramelizes in them. You cannot cut corners by using quick or instant grits. You must use old fashioned grits to get the right texture. You want them to be very thick to hold up to the stew. I love this dish warmed over the next day even better than the day I make it. Anyway, I hope you like this as it is truly one of our house favorites. Enjoy!

This looks like such an awesome dish. I wish I could eat it! It looks very professional, and I feel that if I had ordered your dish at a restaurant, I would be very pleased with it. I only knocked one point off for originality, since putting pork in a slow-cooker is so common (for a reason I think, but still).

>Wow your scores are too high

You're right but the voting has been too high (in my opinion) from the beginning of the contest. But giving there's no control with the rating I consider it more of a gimmick.

By the standards of the previous rounds you gave a pretty low rating. But seriously - that's how it should be. I don't think I've ever seen a serious rating below 12 which is a shame.

I look forward to the rest of your ratings.

Poor presentation. The rather pedestrian focus on symmetry, pour dish choice (do you cut the lamb and push the vegetables out?), and the roasted garlic being placed pointlessly on the plate...

>>3914918

same fagging?

Above pictures are ONE menu, not two separate entries.
Verticals are on their way.

>>3914888
Yes, you peel the skin with your fork and your knife and eat what's inside... But the skin is not hard and the garlic is soft, so it's no hard work doing that.

>>3914938
No, I don't need samefagging to have good notes... I won't finish first anyway, I play fair because it's funnier like that.
Actually, I think it's >>3914870 who had only noted the starter without seeing the main dish (If so, I wouldn't mind you removing the 13 to note the full menu...)

I feel, like several others, that you could have done better with the plating. The starter has a much better appearance than the entree. I feel this is an overall good dish, but not great, as my scores reflect. I feel there can be some debate over whether this really is "comfort" food, but I also believe mushrooms are very autumn, so I didn't dock you too much there.

...the background of a picture should not be included in the presentation score, imo. The presentation should only be for the plating skills of the food and the dish the food rests on top.

Oh, come on, don't you find my dog cute ? It makes my heart warm remembering the good days I had with him... And isn't reading a good book while smoking a good pipe next to the fireplace comforting after a cold rainy day ?
But yeah, I understand you. There should be another /5 for table presentation/service or something like that.
I just had fun on this one when I thought "a warm and familial environment? Oh fuck, my flat is colder than a hospital. Well, let's go to a 1$ shop and get a bread basket and a picture frame or something."

The dog's picture is now next to my computer and I actually really start liking him...

Suggestions for rules modifications (for next year's challenge) :

Allow a +1 bonus and -1 malus for reasons other than presentation/originality/appeal/challenge goals, like "I hate tarragon", "oh, cool, a SNES cartridge of a game I love in the background", or table presentation... (People already did it more or less unconsciously or explicitly.)

It's nice that you found a system to let people skip some weeks, but maybe try to avoid the summer holidays. I wasn't able to follow very well, being lost in the middle of nowhere with no 3G, so I don't know if I'm the only one who couldn't post for 4 weeks in a row, but I guess I'm not.
It would be nice to include other holidays, but it'll be trickier. Maybe a "I'll go skiing for 2 weeks next month, can I get 2 challenges in advance by email and mail you my pictures so you can post them for me ?" system... (Would also work for other "good" reasons for not being able to cook/picture/post.)

the non-peeled garlic ruined it for me.

when does the next challenge start?

>>3916278
That whole +1/-1 one thing, I like it but I'm not sure if that is the way to implement it. Also, I wonder if standard deviation could be applied to the score of this challenge as a whole....

>>3916307
the rules don't need to be modified. stop whining.

>>3916312
Probably after this one ends.

>>3914627
This looks like a page from a cookbook or magazine. There are some minor mistakes, but otherwise this is a very professional presentation. I wish this poster the best of luck. I really like his/her style.

>>3916307
We'll take it into consideration. :) This was our first go at it so we appreciate the feedback. ZB and I are actually planning on making a separate post after Round 15 to get people's opinions/suggestions for next year.

>>3916312
The next Challenge will be held sometime in 2013. We haven't decided on the time yet.

If the mod decides to ban me for doing an Advent Calendar this year, ZB and I might host a Holiday themed mini challenge in December or a cookie swap or something.

FOR CONSIDERATION ONLY

Well, I have been watching these threads for a while, love them. Can't wait for the second annual. I grew up eating Ramen, (not weeaboo) I used to call all Ramen, Ichiban. So its a comfort food for me. I know its not pulled pork or mac and cheese, but its one of my comfort foods.

What you are looking at:

Ramen made with an chipotle applewood soup base. Topped with fine red onions and fried green tomatoes, a touch of truffle oil. Sided with some sambal.

Time Stamp to come

sorry started eating when i noticed no time stamp

>>3917636

how did you achieve the shape of ramen?

>>3917641

>>3918469

Don't ya tells me booze ain't comfort food. I'd rather chop off my ding-dong than admit that!


(For consideration only, in case the joke wasn't obvious enough.)

Chicken and ham pie!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=XAZGQql9Dh4#t=1028s

I made two changes to the recipe:

- I didn't have time to get agar agar so I used corn starch instead. I have to play with agar agar some other time though.
- Because I overslept I had to cut the brining at the two hour mark or so which wasn't enough (I needed pictures in daylight).

The filling itself was absolutely divine but pies are overrated. I put a little too much mustard in and I don't really think the ham is necessary.

Vertical coming up.

Seems like the Youtube autoembedding dun goofed. The pie recipe starts 17:10 into the video.

Honestly... I would not just eat basically plain garlic. Am I the only one finding this disgusting?

>>3918965
no

Sorry about the late posting, 4chan continually said I was mistyping captcha on my smartphone for the past two days.

Stir-fried foods are my comfort food. So I made a stir-fried ginger-lemon pork.

Ingredients: Pork, corn, carrot, celery, bell pepper, onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, lemon, black pepper, salt.

Cut all ingredients into pieces roughly the size of the corn kernels. Marinate the pork in two tablespoons of grated fresh ginger root, the zest of a whole lemon, the juice of that lemon, plus a couple of tablespoons of soy sauce. Crack black pepper into the marinade.

Heat up a pan, add a couple tablespoons of butter. Allow the butter to brown, then add the onion and garlic first. Give those 2 minutes on high heat, add the remaining vegetables.

Stir for roughly 3-4 minutes. Move everything to one side, add the pork that has been marinating. Let this go for 3 minutes, then try to flip all of the pork as best as you can, let cook another three minutes, then mix everything and cook another 5 minutes, stirring every half a minute.

Add salt as a finishing touch, you won't need much of it.

Chop up some thin strips of ginger and green onion to garnish a mound of rice, add a little hot sauce.

When you roast garlic or long enough it loses the harsh flavor and becomes kind of sweet.

Google 40 cloves of garlic chicken for a classic example.

Dear god why is there canned corn in there? It absolutely ruins the aesthetic. My opinion is lame, but seriously.

indeed, but by it's self it is still quite pungent. Eaten with chicken or such it is preferred. Or even spread over bread.

The point of unpeeled garlic is that you can cook it until it's not pungent any-more. The skin and oil protect the garlic and let you cook it at a relatively high temperature for very long without browning or drying. It becomes soft, both in taste and texture.
And it was served with bread, vegetables and very tender meat, and not meant to be eaten alone. Like a side-sauce, if that makes sense.

It's called "ail en chemise" in French, I would translate it as "garlic cooked in its skin until it's soft and not pungent", not as "unpeeled garlic".
The Google is wrong, He's WRONG I say you !
(It literally means "garlic in shirt".)

My winner is the pork with grits. Not being american I have no idea what grits are, but damn does it look good, and damn do I want it!

>>3921077
The total for the pork & grits should be 18, my mistake

>>3921077
grits are sort of like Polenta.

>>3920853
The butter and flour cook into a roux, allowing for a creamy sauce with less cheese and 1% milk.

>>3921085
it's ok, that guy was a weirdo.

>>3921084

Oh, cool, I like Polenta.

Looking at wikipedia it looks like they're some kind of Corn Porridge.

>>3921091
isn't that what polenta is, essentially? just thickened.

>>3921094
I guess it is. Never thought of it like that.

>>3920853
You're the same douche that goes 0/5 on Appeal because you don't like this and that on my dish, weren't you?
