THE MACHO MAN posted:yeah I thought all the Indian and Middle Eastern food was good (I don't recall where I went though). I wanted to try some authentic Dutch food as well but apparently it's not stuff really served at restaurants?? The path of the Boyardee is beset on all sides by haters, but he who follows the chef shall not die, but have MSG, and have it more abundantly.

It's all part of my training for The Rapture/zombie apocalypse/Obama taking are guns and putting us in FEMA camps, and the water supply failing or being reserved for Jews and liberals.

paraquat posted:Yeah, don't go searching for Dutch cuisine in Amsterdam (or the rest of the country), also: stay away from tourist areas when you want to eat in Amsterdam, so no eating out around the central station or "de Dam" (or, curiously, any area with a large number of "Argentinian Grill Restaurants"....?) We're in the New Market area, I think? We had a nice lunch today at a pasta place, but it's possible I was just starving. There's a few restaurants and bars we passed today that we'll check out. The staircase in our apartment is intensely steep. It's a drunk deterrent.

We had spatchcocked chicken marinated in oil and herbs with fries and a crusty loaf for dinner, with some kind of yummy in house amber, at bier fabriek. It was delicious and reasonably priced, so we'll probably go back. We have no concrete plans paraquat, other than I want to check out the science center And the arboretum. I'd like to check out the zoo, too, but my husband finds zoo's sad.

I cooked some gorgeous ribeyes this weekend, including one for my oldest daughter. She's not big enough to eat an entire steak herself so I cut off the deckle and ate it. I don't feel guilty about it at all.

Anyone have any recommendations for places in Grenoble? I'll be here for a bit less than 2 weeks. Bonus points for places with weird hours since I may be taking some night shifts during my stay. I'm by the main train station in town (by the reactor in downtown). I'm delighted that cheese and bread is ubiquitous here - the breakfast at my hotel has little slices of soft rindy cheese and bread, and the canteen where I'll be working has bread and random cheeses as a food option. I think I'll just eat bread, fruit, and cheese for my lunch. P.S. Bastille Day is fun.

As a kid, I used to feel scorn for my brothers whenever they'd leave that part of the steak on their plates because they "didn't like fat" but I never knew there was a word for it until now, so thanks for that.

I've been conditioned from a young age to understand this as a perk of parenting. My dad gained like 20lbs when my brother and I were young because we'd go out to eat and that man couldn't bare to see food wasted. kind of funny how decades later I totally understand that feeling even though it drove me nuts as a kid haha

I want to be a farmer too.  but poo poo it's like, I feel like I should make enough money to own my house outright, have a giant wad of cash in investments and poo poo before I'm like 'gently caress money'. dunno, maybe you're a lot older than me and there already, or maybe I'm being greedy or something.totally gonna buy a farm or vineyard or something in the black forest and run a B&B when I retire though ^_^ live the dreaammm

I want to be a farmer, too. My husband is in oil and gas, and his company is building pipelines through his hometown. I always dreamt that if we won the lottery we'd run a farm/animal rescue.

Drink and Fight posted:I'm losing my job, can I have one of those? We should have taken Greenland together! Made that the starting point of the societal cleansing of picky eaters. Edit: The 'anti-piggery', because then we're able to confuse the Muslims, the dyslexic anti-nosepickers, the Jews and old-ladies in the Midwest into joining - we will then use them as a force to initiate the cleansing, and then move on to step 2 - the breeding program. Also we won't give a poo poo if people want or doesn't want to eat specifics based on religion. We will however make it a capital offense to eat fries as a vegan, because that is just too lazy.

I'm 29, it's not a retirement desire, it's the "instead of this" desire. That's also why I said "if I won the lottery", because farmland in Alberta ain't cheap.

therattle posted:And then eat them? Seriously. My folks bought a farm in NW Oregon (if you eat at a restaurant in Dundee you will probably eat some of their produce!) with water rights and it is only 9 acres but they work extremely hard and barely make much money at all. Chickens, pigs, many veggies and the occasional duck/turkey/cow gets eaten/sold. Beautiful land but 9-5 it isn't. Think 7am to 6pm Sunday through Saturday.

I went to a wedding this weekend, and I broke my Reception Rule: never order the beef option. Why is wedding food so bad? This was a pricey venue, too. The apps were good, including some yummy brisket and pulled pork, but the main plate was totally disappointing. The vegetarian option was a risoto that appeared to have been made from converted rice and half and half.

I have been to one (1) wedding with good food. It was earlier in the day and it was brunch food. A lot of the time I think they are in venues with their own kitchens, who often mandate -- or otherwise incentivize -- that you use them to cater. At that point, why try?

I had prime rib without a touch of pink in it at my wife's cousin's wedding. The kind of beef that takes five chews and a sip of water for each swallow.
