/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>6355984
The theme of Round Four is...

World Cuisine!

This is a roll round! So post one and use the last digit of your post number to pick your cuisine :
0 : French
1 : Caribbean
2 : Greek
3 : Moroccan
4 : Mexican
5 : Thai
6 : Scandinevian (Norvegian, Swedish, etc)
7 : Spanish
8 : Argentinian
9 : Indonesian

While you're perfectly welcome to make a large spread of food, please make sure there is clearly a "main dish" because that is what people will be voting on.

Two persons will be eliminated after this round and a special prize will be awarded to the winner!

Holy shit I'm actually in
roll

>>6356108
>missed the one I actually can cook
well I guess if I watch before I post it's not a challenge right?

rolling!

>>6355984
Awww yisss this is the round I sponsored! So excited to see what everyone has to make, definitely want to participate this week!

>>6356221
Cholula btw so Caribbean for me.. ooh la la.

haha, could have just picked "french cuisine" for this round

>>6356244
*sigh*... this is twice the roll threads end up having a systematic answer (last year's color round was stuck on "brown" for some reason)

Aw shit serious time now. Also rolling

>>6356333
ummmm okay. Time to google some shit

>>6356333
Trips recognized

rolling

>>6356333
>>6356336
yeah man Moroccan as fuck.

Just to clarify something the cumulative scores that the 15 win/loose on, if we're doing it that way, start from 0 in this round right?

>>6356369
Correct.

>>6355984
>Borneo
Wait, what? She's not in the contest this year?? I agonized over her scoring for hours!!!!!

>>6355985
Nice idea for a round!

Ooh, yay. Is the crowd mostly newcomers this year?

>>6356389
She's helping me "backstage" so she can play but she can't bump out someone from the contest. Same as last year :-)

>>6355985
French seems an odd inclusion in world cuisines since it's so ubiquitous. Mexican too but it's not popular outside North America. The rest of the options are great.

roll

>>6355984
I didn't enter the first round so I can't be in the competition, but could I still make a dish and submit it with a trip, timestamp and all that just for fun?

And if I do could you tally my scores assuming people vote? If not I could do it myself, just wanna know if I can post. Thanks!

>>6356333
Those fucking trips.

I think you automatically win.

>>6355985
I like this idea

>>6356700
Of all these, mexican is the most popular where I live.

Not sure how well I'll be able to participate due to work but rolling anyway.

>>6357136
This was my post. If I'm allowed to play just for fun I guess this will be my roll. Unless I should just use 6 from my first one?

Again I know I can't compete but I'm still interested in just having fun.

>>6356700
>>6357211
Geez, Mexican cuisine, Spanish cuisine, and Argentinean cuisine. What about Peruvian cuisine, Nicaraguan cuisine, and Ecuadorean cuisine?? THEY'RE ALL THE SAME except that Peruvian includes guinea pigs and cocaine.

I suppose it's just as well, or else /b/ might raid us with pictures of roasted guinea pigs. :-(

>>6357235
Sure. I won't compile your scores, you definitely can post something for "consideration" just for the fun of it.

>>6357325
That's fine, I just haven't had a lot to do lately and thought this would be fun. I'd like to play along. If it goes well, I'll try and submit for the next one legit! When will this start up again??

>>6357329
This round started yesterday and runs until next Tuesday, midnight. New round up on Wednesday.

If you meant the competition as a whole, it's annual. So next year in latish march.

>>6357341
Aww well damn it... Ever thought of making another one that's like quarterly? Or monthly? I'd actually like to participate in something like this but it's unfortunate I didn't get in in time.

>>6357344
Squee was doing one for a while, but sadly stopped.

>>6357108
Tfw we just had a bbq/grill challenge.

>>6356417
I personally don't recognize anyone but chalice, which is awesome! The more new folks the better!

>>6356335
>Time to
My best friend is Moroccan and my favorite dish his mom cooks is a chicken pastilla. It tastes amazing and looks very impressive. A ton of work though. There's also sea food pastillas but they dont' have the visual appeal since they tend to fall apart after cutting.

>>6358352
Sounds good man, i'll look into it.

>>6355985
This is neat

>>6356388
Wait, so do two people with the lowest average scores for each round go out, or is it that at the end of each round the two people with the lowest cumulative average scores over rounds 4 onward go out?

>>6358786
Lowest scores for that round. Cummulative is used to decide the grand winner at the end.

>>6358786
In past years the lowest scores of round 4 would be kicked and then the highest cumulative score at the end would win the over all competition.
I THINK, this is my first year but that's what I've gathered from looking at the previous ones.

>>6358816
>>6358821
What if the person with the highest cumulative score had a bad round near the end and wasn't in the final?

>>6358831
Tough shit i guess.

rollan

sorry i couldnt deliver the vertical last round, GIMP is gimping out on me

>>6358916
Post it anyways if you get around to doing it :-)

>>6358831
i think it must be the highest cumulative score of the finalists

>>6358845
>>6359043
Doesn't that take a lot of excitement out of the final? Could have a winner well before the last round.

Why not just do that until the last round and then have the winner of the final round win the competition?

>>6359061
I'll leave it to the final 4 to decide if they want to use cumulative scores (rewards constant effort) or go sudden death.

>>6359061
I asked Bubble about it too in the first round thread, I suppose it rewards consistency and such.

>>6359069
decent idea

wow, okay then
rolling

>>6359815
nice

lets see some shit guys, also rolling even though I haven't submitted anything.

>>6361718
no fucking clue, wat. We'll see

I rolled Spanish: >>6356417

Ham and cheese "croquetas" (no jamon sadly, but I found manchego) with tomato / pine nut salad and some bread. I did use a dough recipe which claimed to be "pan rustico" but I mean, it's bread.

Hope to god I get something doable.

>>6362707
Spanish, alright then, I think I can handle that.

Why is "bland" a bad thing?

I probably would have preferred more of the pesto or whatever he put on the salad but otherwise it looks good. What's wrong with it?
>>6365729
Wow, it's green, just like puke. That's pretty clever.

Sorry for the late notice Bubble (and the contestant replacing me), but I haven't had the time to cook anything and I don't see much spare time in the near future, so I'm bowing out of the competition.

>>6366463
No worries. Real life happens!

SexualTyranosaurus, you're up if you want to step in to replace pon!

Argentinian Carbonada.
Meat, veg, and fruit stew. Definitely one of the strangest and most palate challenging meals I have tried. In keeping with Argentinian style (eating lots of meat), I used rib meat and ate a rib eye while awaiting for the stew.

DISCLAIMER I'm not actually in the competition but wanted to make something for this round since I sponsored it :)

So... Caribbean "fish and chips" or Accras and tostones!

My dish is saltfish accras which are basically fried fish balls (or sometimes flat patties) and tostones which are twice fried plantains. The sauce is a spicy garlicy tamarind sauce. It is completely homemade meaning I shucked the tamarindo by hand, soaked the fruit, strained the pulp, and made a paste.

I will have verticals for everything but won't be able to make them until later tonight, probably 8 hours from now or so.

>>6367717

>>6367724

>>6367729
Last pic, will post verts later

HEY!!! I'm not dead.
But one of my close relatives is, which is why I haven't been checking in.
I still have a prize picked out for the winner of the bbq round, BubbleBurst, and I hope you didn't just give up on me, but I've been dealing with family shit for the past week out of town.
I'll shoot you an email tomorrow after I deal with all the other crap here that's been hanging for a week.

So nobody is rating anyone this round, this is gonna work really well.

>>6367863
Email me when you can.

>>6367905
People tend to score in throves on the last day or so in the elimination rounds

>>6367717
I'm glad you didn't do whelk stew.

Bump

>>6367264
Roasted potoottos? That's bordering high treason. Do I detect small lumps in the sauce or is it the wrinkled surface of the potatoes deceiving me?

My entry
chuletón de carne y pollo con tallarines
..I gave up with the Spanish translation. Thanks Google.
Argentinian ribeye steak and chicken thigh with tagliatelle.

Both meat marinated with chimichurri before grilling. The chimichurri is homemade from chopped parsley, garlic, shallot mixed with oregano, cayenne pepper, red wine vinegar and olive oil, chilled overnight.

first of all, i will congratulate you for actually including what cusine you rolled in your post. +1 bouns point.


nice presentation overall, nice colors, feels unified, very much in the spirit of spanish tapas. food looks very tasty, fresh, simple. croquettes nicely browned, but I don't see the ham. the salad looks good but the dressing is spattered on there and doesn't appear to run through. so i imagine some of the tomatoes on the bottom won't have any dressing. bread looks a little dry. don't know what the liquid is, which there is not enough of, but it's a nice chartreuse color which I like. the green leaves under the croquettes are unneccessary since 'rustic presentation'

4/5 + 1 bouns point = 5/5

not much to say about the originality. it's simple and it's rustic. you used pine nuts and that's cool but you didn't tell me what that dressing is.

originality 4/5


i will say it is appealing but since you did say that it was for 3 people, i would hope there's either more oil or juice or whatever or butter for the bread because the salad and the croquetas don't lend itself well to eating with the bread and there's no drink shown. this serving looks very al fresco but that doesn't mean separate serving plates and cutlery shouldn't be brought to the picnic. so you lose a big one point because I won't eat a salad with my fingers

Appeal: 4/5

The challenge goal was spanish and without reading your post, I can tell it's of the spanish vain. But, there's no distinctly spanish ingredients used. challenge goals 4/5

Total: 17/20

Figured I'd rate my fellow competitors. I tried to be as objective as possible :)

it's lacking. since this is a competition i think you could have put MORE effort into this part. the food may taste good, idk, I can't taste it, but the presentation sucks! you took up a close up picture and the rim on the bowl is dirty, center of picture no less. i won't say more about the presentation.

2/5

well french soup, french fries, and steak is about as unoriginal as you get. garlic butter is not original either. clearly you used what was available to you without running out to get different ingredients. that's why I'm giving you

2/5

Let me say, some people are gaga for french soup, I am not one of them, the fries, steak and soup all look edible and tasty. I would even try your mystery sauce. is it home made ketchup? sweet chili thai? or sweet and sour?

i'm giving you a solid 4/5 for appeal.

your challenge was french. even though french fries have the word french in them, I don't think they are very french. sous vide, is a french term but that steak looks very american sized. The french concept is less portion but more finer ingredients, which you missed big time. This looks more like greasy spoon or homestyle than french.

2/5

I wish you luck.

ciabatta - mexican

presentation

presentation is kinda iffy, there's a lot of sauce, that appears to be dumped on, you said that the extra sauce is for the rice but still I want to see the meat of the dish. not enough cheese. rice and beans, looks like it could be messy plating from that heaping bowl.

presentation 3/5

originality

I'm not experienced with authentic mexican food, but I think this is your own creation based on description and how it looks. seems like it could be a good mix of ingredients. i wonder is that a cold sauce over the shrimp?

originality 4/5

Personally, I like what you have here, it seems like mostly all very fresh and complimentary ingredients taste wise. Temperature and texture wise: I don't know if that's a cold or warm shrimp plate and I can't see the shrimp. Cooked avocado doesn't really appeal to me, but Idk. Also, I wonder how the contrasting textures of the mushy sauce, cheese and shrimp line up. The green blob of goo looking plate doesn't appeal to me.

3/5

Does a blob of green look mexican? I would say only if told what the ingredients are. Rice and Beans looks mexican enough. You used authentic mexican ingredients and I appreciate that. that's why I'm giving you

a solid 4/5 on challenge goals

total: 14/20

>>6369832
i didn't deduct the points, because the individual items, weren't french. simply, I didn't think that you met the "challenge" of making a french inspired entree. in other words, you played it safe.

chalice argentinian

presentation

not really sure what to think its chunks of vegetables and meat in a juice. possibly served out of a pumpkin. very rustic. did you slice the cob itself and put that in? idk, it's on a nice wooden board.

3/5

originality:

well I don't know argentinian food, is this a recipe or did you create it, why did you put pear in there. seems original if not authentic. surely, this cusine type is as hard to create, cook, or treat originally as it is hard for me to judge, if not experienced with argentinian food. still, if you provided a bit of context into the recipe used or how you came up with this creation would result in more points.

3/5

appeal:

there's a lot going on with this dish. i have never had authentic argentian food. but you've got pears, meat, squash, what looks like inedible corn corb, dried fruit. it's a real mashup of different flavors you wouldn't normally expect. very adventurous. I can't imagine how this would taste. I'd try it but my mouth isn't salavating right now.

3/5 for appeal

challenge goals

I can't say for sure if this is argentinian or not, a bit of context would help, but I believe you tried to do as authentic dish as you could.

4/5

total 13/20

>>6369909

I made what is widely regarded as a french dish, but somehow it isn't it in line with the challenge, which was to make a dish of the stated cuisine. Challenge goals doesn't mean "make a challenging dish." is English not your first language?

>>6367264
i was a little confused at first cause u posted a chili con carne. sorry i can't review your dish, i don't have enough time to review everyone and you aren't in the competition maybe later ill review it. it does looks very lovely. again, sorry.

>>6367717
wow chololu thats looks very good! I won't review it for now because you're not in the competition sorry!!

>>6369972
The chili was her entry for last round. She just wanted to post the recipe for someone.

Still wondering what kind of pork that really is. >:-/

>>6369971
hey no need to get all persnickety, it's just a little constructive criticism. That's why you're in the contest right. I am tough but I am fair. :) Have a good day now

>>6369333
i don't know how i misspelled potatos so badly

potatos+pork in the same roasting pan makes for ez cleanup, plus I had some chicken soup in my big pot already

the sauce was smooth with pork fat, butter, milk and lots of fresh parsley, baby
i didn't expect it to all meld together as smoothly as it did

sayu - argentina

presentation

steak and chicken looks very nicely cooked and seasoned. that glissen. I get it: that you're supposed to cut a piece of meat, then roll some noodles on your fork and then get the meat and eat it all together. well maybe that's not what you intended. otherwise it looks very simple.

3.5/5 presentation

originality not much to say here, except for combining beef and chicken on one plate. is it original? I don't know, is plain noodles original? idk.

3/5

appeal

it certainly looks appealing, I would be happy to eat chicken and beef off the same plate. the chimichurri sauce looks very tasty. this dish is making me hungry. the noodles look like they are done just right. just i think they look plain. maybe even a slice of lemon or some cracked black pepper would give you a better mark.

4/5

challenge goal:

meat. without a doubt the meat makes this argentinian. chimichurri i think that's very much in the vane of argentinian, i just can't get over those noodles. are they argentinian, does it matter. idk.

solid 4/5
total
14.5/20

>>6369883
It's actually an authentic dish that I didn't come up with personally. The sauce ended up being too thick which made the shrimp less visible I think. And yes, it's cooked together and served hot.

>>6369805
>3+4+4+5=15
nice math

>>6370024
>lean pork mince in the chilli con carne
>pork belly sliced to about a centimetre thick for the stegt flaesk
>delicious pork, its all delicious pig

Nevertheless, I have my suspicions.

>>6370238

If it makes you feel better it's because i bumped you up on appeal even though i'm allergic to the food.

>>6369760
The sauce made the dish, it was a pain in the ass to make because the mexican market didn't have the tamarind pulp I normally get so it was way more time consuming than I originally planned but it really tied everything together. And tostones are way better than french fries or chips, I really wish they would catch on here!

Will get to the verts tonight if anyone cares :p

>>6369812
Sent you an email. Get back to me when you have the chance.

>>6370795
yay verts!

>>6370795
Sauce vert

>>6370984
If make with tamarind paste (I have a good supplier of the stuff) what would be the proportions?

>>6370999
Like 9oz paste to 2ish cups water, enough to be able to reduce it a bit is the main thing so you can help all the flavors kind meld. It's a very forgiving sauce thankfully...

>>6371196
And tostones vert

Whew now to go get drunk!

So in stead of salting a fish and then removing the salt and stinking up the house, couldn't you just use fresh?
Or am I missing something here?
Not asking because I'm lazy, I just don't think I'd be able to find saltfish around these parts.

A bit over a day left! Let's get these entries in!

>>6371345
I use the saltfish because it has a much lower water content even after rehydrating it, and you don't want extra moisture in the fritters, but you could totally do fresh cod and just wring it out really good after stretching.

The main reason I used saltfish in this instance is because the challenge was to make a food from Caribbean culture, and saltfish accras are super common in different forms in the Caribbean

>>6371436
Also if you use fresh cod make sure to add salt

Also shredding not stretching lol

presentation

nice but nothing stellar, i cant give you extra points for high class counter top or dishware

3.5/5

originality-wise this is something you can get at a thai restraunt and since there's no vertical of you making it one can assume that you were lazy got take out and took a picture of that.

i'm giving you a merciful 2.5/5

appeal:

It looks very good and I'm hungry for some good thai food so you got that working in your favour. There's no meat though and a lot of rice.

do me a favor and don't look at the previous rounds, I'm still getting a hang of trying to make my food look good

originality

I'll take that as a compliment, I went to a thai restaurant a few days ago and tried to recreate my order

appeal

there's tofu, and that was only a small portion of the curry, if I added more to the plate it would've been messy

thanks for the insight though

Problem is, a lot of people have already voted. I'm starting to go through them now. I'll try to catch yours later, but I'll be going to work pretty soon.

Never cooked anything like this before spicy/sweet meat fruit sounded weird but 100% do it again. slow cook duck is also awesome.
Anyway Moroccan was my roll so my attepmt at a Duck and Clementine Tagine, without actually owning a tagine pot.

"Argentine stew in a pumpkin shell" and "argentine stew pumpkin" are the first and third Google suggestions I get for completing "argentine stew", so I'm guessing this is pretty tipico.

Also, ngi_eggy, chapta, and MoarCowbells don't seem to have put in an appearance. Spork is still not done; I'll try to catch his entry later.

>>6373710
Farmland a few miles from where i live, Luckily no pellets in the breasts.
Got a load of wood pigeon to use up too so hopefully find something to do with those.

Alright, here it is, sorry it's coming in quite late.

My theme was Spanish, so I had a go at making some of the tapas dishes that were my favourite when I would go to Spain with my dad as a little kid.

At the front there is San Jacobo - pork, wrapped around cheese (I used Manchego) and Serrano ham, breaded and fried. Really tasty, worked out very well and it was nice having this for the first time in years.
At the back is choco frito - for the most part, it's very similar to calimari, only significant difference is that it's in finger/stick/strip things. Also very nice.
Then there is gambas al ajillo, very simple, very nice, just prawns fried in olive oil with garlic and chilli.
Gave it some colour and sweetness to round it out with the cherry tomatoes, and that's my entry!

>>6373729
Here it is, sorry it's so last minute.

>>6373578
>Duck and Clementine Tagine
Tagines of all kinds are awesome.

>>6373749
You're still in time :-)

>>6373526

>>6371423
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. The challenge, in it's current form is a huge time/money investment for me and has anon-negligible impact on the board as a whole. I know I couldn't afford to run it twice a year (even with the awesome sponsors helping me this year).

There was a lower key monthly challenge being run by Squee for a while. And some other anon was doing a "dish of the week" thread which they kindly paused for the duration of the annual challenge. So there is still something to participate in the other months.

Or just post along for the fun of it!

Squid is a favorite of mine. But dude, get a better camera, this isn't a Playboy airbrushed cheesecake photoshoot

>>6374214
>>6374223
Yeah, sorry about that. People were hungry and I had to use the first camera I could get which was the one on my ipod touch. Didn't notice the image quality was shit until way too late.

Will do what I can to make sure future entries don't have this problem.

No worries. But it's hard to drool over the food when it's all a blur. I haven't had *that* much vodka yet this morning. :-/ But the morning is still young here, so there's hope.

BTW, in case BubbleBurst is looking at deleted posts for scores, both of those were mine; I just deleted the first one because I forgot to put Spork's name in the post.

Twenty-seven minutes left to get in your entries and/or votes!

Also, bump.

i didn't use my calculator but i'm not counting 15 entries here

Spork made it in, fortunately!
