/ck/ - Food & Cooking

The only type of mashed potato that I really enjoy are horseradish mashed.

-4-to-5- red potatoes, skins on, chopped down
-boil in salted water till tender
-have a manual food mill with a coarse cutter
-have 1/4lbs cold butter sliced thinly
-have 3-to-4 tbl.spns of prepared horseradish (I use jarred, not fresh)

-put boiled potatoes, butter and horseradish in food mill hopper and mill down into waiting pot

-add coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste

-use spoon to fold potatoes together, add only a "splash" of fatty cream to thin potatoes down if desired.

-serve
En Guet!

I believe it was Hamburger as if general "ground Beef".
Not a sandwich of hamburger.

Matfer is the best. I own it.
Made in France.

Best mandolin cutter I've ever used.

Also, Never, EVER get a mandolin with a slant-blade, they are VASTLY more dangerous.
Mandolin like Matfer with blade at 90 degrees.
Holding your fingers back you can even use your palm to push more vegetable through and not cut your palm, the same can not be said for mandolin with angle blade. Very dangerous.

I'm an old. I've traveled around. A lot. Because of this I eat out at restaurants, a lot. Often times meals are part of business or Government deals.
Have had honest to god food poisoning 4 times.

But the worst?

Spent 5 days in the La Jolla Scripts Hospital.

15 years, and I still remember this.

Some silver drink sets.
My house is dark as hell. sorry.

A crate of Haviland French Limoges porcelain.
About 1840.

Back: Flow Blue plates from about 1800
Left: A sake cup and saucer, about 1690
Right: A Venetian tea cup and saucer, about 1720

Chinese Scholar and temple goddess statues, age unknown.

Yeah.
silver coffee pots, chocolate pots, stem ware of every conceivable type, shape colour and variety.
Flatware and dinner service sets, mostly all sterling silver. Though for some odd reason most of the silvers sets are Danish.


I have a dining table, that at full extension is 7 meters long. The furniture... it's endless, I don't know how many chairs I have, a couple hundred I'd guess.

It's all really a gigantic pain in the ass, sorting, identifying, getting appraisals, then going to sell it.
I sold a 1860's Belgian cut crystal biscuit box in the shape of a crown for about $9,000 on eBay

I actually bought a 2 story house just to store all these things in, as it was cheaper to buy and fill an entire house to sort through, than to continually pay storage.

>>5096805
I forgot I had this one.
I posted to /ck/ a long while ago some soup I made.
Here it is in a bowl made in/around 1820

>>5096690
I don't have a lot on hand.
Here's a shot of a 17th century pocket flask I just took.
My house is dark, so sorry for bad pics.

About 60 elderly people that never had kids, or whose kids never lived long to have kids, and a few murdered too.
Mom was 47 when I was born, dad in his 70's.
Family Reunion is a trip to the family cemetery.

MFW there a still almost 400 empty spaces in the family cemetery I cannot use and legally cannot sell.

Looks good.

Would eat with that dude.

My entire family all died within a few years of everyone else.
Only me left.

I have literally over 10,000 pieces of china and dinner serving sets sitting in crates.
Some of the sets are over 400 years old

I eat soup in gilt bowls that were old when George Washington was being born and with spoons from the Prussian Royal household.

But I also have cheap glass dishware and bowls from the bargain store for everyday use.

(OP) trying to hard to be pretentious shit.

Fresh grated soft white cheese while potato slices are still hot.

En guet.

Best ingredient for mash potato is HORSERADISH!

Boil potato chunks in salt water
drain.
begin to mash. I use a food mill for potatoes.
add 1 small spoon of fresh/jarred horseradish per potato
mix in butter, 1/4 stick for each potato
crack black pepper
salt to taste.

For thinner potato splash in heavy cream.
Die happy.

>Normally donner meat, pakora/tikka chicken (or something multicoloured and chickeny), naan bread, generic shitty salad, pakora sauce and chips.

Ha, so that's why the Britbongs and Scotty's are all fatty's, even your shittier junk food is non-native non-British imported mudskin crap.
Good to know.
Only thing I can think of typically Swiss and fatty are the 1001 way to have fried potatoes.

Go to sleep anon-kun, you're drunk.

Since we're on the subject I didn't know of any cocktails that blended both Campari and Grand Mernier.

Seems there is.

A Campari Collins.

- 1 ½ parts Campari
- ½ part Grand Marnier
- 1 part sweetened lemon juice (1 part simple syrup, 1 part lemon juice)
- 1 parte soda

Preparation

Stir all the ingredients together without ice, then pour into a juice glass with ice. Add the soda and garnish with a slice of orange.
I cannot quite imagine the taste... :/

>>5023130
Sugar mixed into a spirit such as Campari is going to make you HORRIBLY ill.

Stop.
FULL STOP.

2 or 3 fingers of Campari enough to be had for an entire evening.
How much have you poured, considering it's like $30 for a bottle?

At this point, throw what you've poured and doctored down the drain.

Drink some clean ice water.

Then try the Grand Marnier.

Any opened bottle of spirits will keep for YEARS even at room temp as long as properly capped. So save the Camari for when you think you have a taste for it.

>>5023081
If you can still see straight, let us know how the GM goes to your taste.

>>5023050
Go and drink the Grand Marnier, it's like a liquid Orange candy.

Save the Campari for being Classy.

>>5023013
I absolutely LOVE Campari straight, chilled or over ice.

A great cocktail of campari is to shake it till it has frothed, served over crushed ice.


What is odd is that the (OP) has Campari but has never tried it?

>basic lettuce mix (NO ICEBERG!)
>small tomatoes
>any type of black olive
>garlic salt
>fresh cracked pepper
>olive oil liberally drizzled
>a side of sliced hard boiled egg.
