I've seen a Moroccan recipe for sheep's skull that included checking the eye sockets for maggots.

and have never once gotten food poisoning from street food in the US, though I've gotten it from white-tablecloth restaurants.

I think, as with all things, there is a range in quality in the category. There's the established food trucks that are basically mobile professional restaurants, and there's the guy selling questionable fish in the middle of a forest. I run into the latter a lot more often.

Street food in east Asia fulfills the same niche as drivethru fast food in the States, except it's a lot tastier on average

Dark meat turkey and ham on sourdough with green bean casserole, instant cheddar mashed potatoes, and Swiss. It was ugly enough for this thread but also too beautiful for this world.

Dogfish posted:If you don't like vermouth, why don't you just drink a drink with no vermouth in it? Surely it's legal to just chill and drink gin if that's what you like? Putting vermouth in first coats the ice in vermouth and just pouring out the vermouth afterward doesn't meab you pour out all the vermouth, just that most of it is gone with enough left over to leave the flavor in the drink. Adding the gin to that vermouthy ice will get you a very cold martini that definitely tastes like it has vermouth without having it overpower the taste of a good gin. Leaving the two mixed always tastes overwhelmingly like vermouth to me.

An 1890s style martini with one part gin to one part vermouth is actually very good with a good vermouth (not Martini and Rossi, despite the name). A 1950s style martini with six parts gin to one part vermouth is also good, and it's not as important to have a really good vermouth. Gin with a vermouth wash is also good, and if that's your idea of a perfect martini, enjoy that. It's delicious. No rules. But definitely try the older versions at least once, just to get a sense of the evolution of the cocktail over 120+ years.

Olives are fine, I just don't want someone making a twee pizza martini where there's a dough base, a vodka/tomato based liquor in the middle, and a cheese/vermuth oil substance on top with a pepperoni for garnish.

"Dry martini" is alcoholic code for "Gimme a gin/vodka double but don't charge me the price of a double, I'm here to get blasted cheaply."

sports posted:Neutral spirits on ice with some salty fermented snacks is the best drinking experience imho Most gins I've had gave been clear, sure, but I wouldn't describe them as neutral. People have taken the natural flavors of gin and gone off the wall with them. It's great because there are fantastic gin tastes from cucumber to heavy spices, but awful because trying a blind martini from someone can let you know that some gins do not mix with dry vermouth... but taste great with sweet vermouth.

Semisponge posted:I've seen a Moroccan recipe for sheep's skull that included checking the eye sockets for maggots. Yeah you check the eye sockets, nasal passages and the whole sinus system. Theres this rather annoying pest of a fly that lays its eggs inside the nasal passages of sheep. It really ruins your appetite when you crack open the head and you find the gently steamed remains of some super fat maggots.

That specific maggot only feeds on mucus, so normally, no. Its just a hell of a put off. Tongue, cheeks and brains are the 'prime' bits on a head anyways.

thecluckmeme posted:What's a good vermouth? I generally only have access to Martini Dry/Sweet Noilly Prat is a big step up from Martini and Rossi. Dolin is an excellent vermouth. There are some really interesting small-batch vermouths out there that are probably only available locally to the distillers, but a fancy liquor store would carry.

Shot in the dark on the pizza martini- if you did basil vodka in tomato juice with an olive garnish and a few Parmesan shavings....? maybe it wouldn't be horrible?

There are no martini rules seeing as no one on this earth can agree how much vermouth should be in one. 1.no pizza rules. 2.no martini rules. 3.The above can apply through the transitive property. i.e: if something is also a pizza or a martini rules that may have applied dont. A pizza with olives is therefore a virgin martini Rigged Death Trap has a new favorite as of 12:14 on Nov 27, 2016 |

I have a food question but it's a "this is probably a horrible idea" type of food question which is why I'm asking it in here. There are cheese tamales and desert tamales. Would it be possible to make a cheesecake tamale? Could you replace the masa or cut it with ground up graham crackers?
