I am not sure I understand what the One True Falafel is supposed to be like. I was talking about this to a friend the other day - I've had lots of falafel, and I have liked most of it - but I don't think I've ever had any falafel that just makes me go like 'woah, that's a loving good falafel, I could eat that 7x a week!' I've made it myself a few times - it can be more or less flavorful, have more or less of a crunch, be more or less dense, I just don't think I've found the alpha recipe yet or something. (I'm contrasting this to like, döner, or some salads I really love, or some awesome rice dishes or whatever, which I could totally eat 7x a week) {or in the case of döner, which I did eat 7x a week at points}

You should try making Egyptian-style falfel with broad beans instead of chickpeas, if they're made right they can be amazing.

Best falafel I ever had was from this syrian expat guy years ago who ran a shop near my work. He'd comp me free tea and bullshit about Alabama football, and he served falafel that had the look (and mouthfeel) of southern skillet sausage. Crispy on the outside but meaty and supple within. The round ones are okay, but whatever he did to make his falafel, I have no idea what it was, but it owned.

I was thinking while watching the episode that for sure they must have watched their episode and realized what tools they are. But nope, starting shitfights on the internet still. Sadly enough this makes me want to try their food. Not enough to venture into Arizona though.

In the second half it's just them sitting down with Gordon, her going crazy, and Gordon removing the cameras for the show, walking out saying he can't help them. No service happens, no other staff are in the scene, just those three. edit: I'm totally wrong, the second part is the service, sorry. First 10min of part 2 is the dinner service, last 10min of part 2 is what I described. No wonder why they are so crazy on their facebook page, all hope lost, no help happened, and they remain completely delusional. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 11:58 on May 14, 2013 |

The only other episode that compares for me is 'Piccolo Teatro'. The woman who ran that is now a very expensive prostitute. I had given up after that, thinking nothing could top it. I have never been so pleased to be proved wrong.

No service happens, no other staff are in the scene, just those three. In my old age, my atheism is mellowed. I have adopted quite the live and let live attitude. Only that, but I often see lots of good things that people of faith do, In fact I always have. I wife drags me to church on Sunday and I go. I listen about helping about not everything is about yourself and about being grateful for what you have and willing to share it with those who need help. Messages of love, compassion, sharing, and appreciation and joy. Okay, so you throw some fairytale on top people buy into it. I could even buy into this without the fairytale. These are nice people. These are the kind of folks I would like to have his neighbors. These people I would like to have around my kids around my family members. And then I hear this lady telling her how God send her her husband and how God wants her to be a chef and how apparently God is magic. All of the sudden, the cranky rises up in a big way. I'm not a Christian. These Dickheads are less of one than me. At least I act the part and buy into 90% of the message. I can't wait until lunchtime!

I don't think I've ever seen Ramsay enjoy the food, the kitchen and the restaurant. This is messing with my head. E: Especially her "kids". What the gently caress is wrong with this woman? I'm gonna spoiler that for people who haven't seen it yet.

I know he goes on and on about running a vegetarian restaurant in France being the wrong thing to do, but it does actually happen. And works- I know a lot of vegetarians here (and in Alsace it's hard to get a coffee without pork). The two episodes have a lot of the same elements:(Sugar) Daddy fronting the money, Insane chef....

Hey all. Wiggles: sorry about your piss-pipes, that sucks to have your honeymoon ruined. A hurricane cancelled mine, but we rescheduled and it went fine from there. I thought my fanboyism had no bounds:  Nope. Wife outdoes me. She got up to the mic first for the Q&A part, asked for a hug. Hah. She was still giddy this morning. We do have some decent kebab in the states, at least in the DC area. Not nearly enough though. pr0k fucked around with this message at 15:46 on May 14, 2013 |

Alsatians, due to their Teutonic heritage, have been unable to adopt the carefully constructed regimen of coffee, cheese, pastries, wine and cigarettes that have allowed the French to remain in a state of perpetual thin ennui for centuries. vvv Skrill.exe fucked around with this message at 17:20 on May 14, 2013 |

I thought shwarma was the meat version? Falafel is falafel in pocket bread no matter what the sauce. Sour cream and garlic or greek yoghurt with mint with some chilli garlic sauce* would be my pick. *not huy fong style chilli and garlic but redhawk's grounds for divorce sauce type garlic and chilli sauce. http://redhawkpeppers.com/ I don't really ever show much support for anything, but this guys sauce is the best chilli garlic sauce. I knew him ages ago when I was in chilli growing forums. Basic Grounds For Divorce is just real nice spicy and garlicky, the XXX version is only a little bit hotter, but hits the spot exactly for anyone used to a bit of heat. Edit: most other sauces are good too, but I haven't tried the full range since postage costs so much to Australia. Fo3 fucked around with this message at 17:29 on May 14, 2013 |
