mindphlux posted:wait what? You need enough dry cure mixture to completely cover the ham, usually in a ratio of 4-1 salt to sugar, plus saltpeter. So like in a barrel one might do 4 hams, the hocks, and a couple of sides of bacon, being sure that the cure is in between everything and that none of the meat is touching. Then you cure for about a day and a half per pound of the biggest piece of meat, rinse, scrub, rinse, and smoke. After smoking you dry age for a month or so. So anyway to do a ham like that takes a lot of salt to begin with, and if you're doing that much you might as well economize and do some other things too.

Getting cookware gifts from friends is kind of a downer when you already have the thing they got you most of the time

For Winnipeg Goons, Livingsocial has an Arkadash coupon right now for $40 for $80 to spend on food. You can also use the coupon on a Wednesday when they do the fixed price menu FOR TWO for half price.  I'm too poor to afford it right now but I have my fingers crossed I get it for Christmas!e: I went there once on a Wednesday for the fixed price menu and the theme was chestnuts. It was ridiculously good, apart from the serving of soup being disproportionately huge compared to the rest of the menu (Not including the gargantuan slice of cheesecake they served for dessert) and I ended up filling up on it and being unable to finish my entree or dessert, despite reeeally wanting to eat dat cheesecake. Shoulda got the salad.  But I guess it's not the worst problem to have, I got to snack on delicious chestnut goat korma after we got home.

EMT started out as good fun, but they ran out of ideas for dishes and now they're telling the same half dozen jokes over and over again.

Epic Meal Time rivals Man vs Food as the most disgusting display of Western decadence and gluttony I have ever had the misfortune to witness. Both are abhorrent and anyone who likes them should be publicly shamed.

EMT is jokes, Man vs Food is real places with stupid MEGAHUGE menu items. EMT isn't as funny as it used to be, but it nowhere near Man vs Food in the glorification of gluttony.

There's absolutely nowhere in my city that serves that kind of food and the idea of going to a diner and being served giant piles of food is crazy to me. After binging through most of the series I also noticed a bizarre thing in almost every restaurant where they would talk about the long and involved process of cooking; selecting the best meat, barbecuing it for days, carefully applying spices and flavour. And then at the end they cover everything in melted cheese and gravy  Do Americans hate flavour? Or do they just need everything to be soft and mushy so they can shovel it into their gaping maws with a minimum of effort?

Also most of the featured items on the shows are the "extreme" dishes. Most (probably all) of the restaurants have normal menus with at least decent normal food. (Still probably huge portions though)

Plenty of good, quality food all across the USA. The real thing about american food I get annoyed with is the chain restaurants (specifically crappy chain diners).

But no, I know the show is only showing a certain slice of the socio-economic pie and not everyone eats deep fried or barbecued meat covered in glop for every meal. I've also been watching No Reservations and the episodes set in the US show some pretty awesome restaurants. Also, Anthony Bourdain

I also seriously doubt that any of these places are actually using the creme de la creme of ingredients, makes no sense to use high-end, easily spoiled food for rarely-ordered offerings. Had our office potluck today, I was a lazy bastard and split the cost of a nice apple pie with a coworker. This prompted half the office to bitch at me about not cooking because they, "heard I loved cooking!!!" This is why keeping your hobbies to yourself is the best idea.

Goddamn hippie kids and hippie wife! Dinner conversation about twin formation in the womb quickly went to 'where do kids come from' and to check my wife asked if the kids knew how the sperm got introduced to the egg.. The answer was, literarily 'Yes, that happens when you insert the penis in the pussy by loving...' Discussion quickly degenerated to 'if you call it a pussy, you need to call it a cock, and then it is entirely appropriate to say loving - however if you elect to call it a penis, you need to call it a vagina, and you do that by having intercourse'.. We then discussed the male need to give nicknames to their members, and they asked me to tell what I called mine! I live in the goddamn 70's! I have no idea what the long term effect of this is!
