When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.

You can pickle under-ripe watermelon. That's keto and really delicious. I never have ripe watermelons at the end of the season cause I pull them too soon for pickles.

How do you pickle 'em? I tried pickled watermelon rind one year and was disappointed in their lack of flavour.

quote:

Russian Watermelon Pickles (SPICY OR SWEETER)

1 3-4 lb. watermelon - or two unripe @ 2lbs each
1 bunch of dill NO stem
3-5 cloves garlic, peeled, do not chop
3-4 bay leaves (fresh if available)
2 Serrano chilies, halved -spicy
OR 2 jalapeno, seeded - sweeter
6 cups *filtered* water
¼ cup kosher salt
3T honey -spicy
OR 1/4 cup sugar -sweeter
2 Tbsp white -spicy
OR apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp peppercorns

Wash the watermelon very well, and then slice into desired pieces. (PEEL OUTER SKIN IF USING UNRIPE) I like mine about ¾-1” thick, and cut into small triangles with the rind still on.

In a large glass jar or ceramic crock big enough to hold the watermelon slices, place the dill, garlic, a few of the bay leaves, and the Serrano chili in the bottom. Layer the cut watermelon on top. If necessary, divide these ingredients among jars, and place the aromatics on the bottom of each jar.

In a medium pot, combine the water, salt, sugar, vinegar and peppercorns. Bring up to a simmer, and heat until the salt and sugar is just dissolved. Pour the liquid over the watermelon in the jar(s). Top with the remaining bay leaves and a little more dill if desired. If the watermelon is floating above the liquid, you can weigh the fruit down by placing a small plate inside the jar with something heavy on top.
Allow the mixture to fully cool, and then refrigerate. Pickles ready in 3 days, keep for ...

I don't remember where I got the recipe anymore, but it's very good.

I don't know what else reconstituted hardened meat slurry shavings could possibly look like?

Yeah the meat to me looks totally fine, but I was put off by the guy producing it out of a lidded metal container like that.

IANA Halal Chef but usually that meat is sliced off the cob in a spot visible to the customer where it's kept hot and fresh, not pre-shredded and dump dinner'd out of a warm wet urn.

E: I see I've unleashed goon wrath upon myself. Halal is good and I like it fresh :shrug:

They're in those rotatey things to develop a nice brown on the outer edge. If you're working with volume it would make sense to prepare it ahead of time.

I hate to break to you how much food from restaurants is kept in a hot/refrigerated for cold items dish on the line until plated

Well don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

Yeah, all the high-volume kebab shops I've been to in the UK have a dude tending to and slicing the eponymous kebabs into containers, they just dish up too many lbs of deliciously spiced solidified meat slurry an hour for individual slicing to be practicable, the meat definitely suffers for it though, ends up both more dry and greasy then when it's fresh sliced off the kebab, most West Coast US Gyro places tend to do fresh slices, and also go with more fresh veggies, and a yogurt based tzatziki sauce instead of a mayo based garlic sauce, hot sauce not an option.

Food carts in NY, which are the closest thing to a "kebab shop" are more true to the "digging meat strips out of grease" model.

They do have some real kebab places in my area in brooklyn, but the halal carts use patties that they chop up with a scrapper on a flat top. I still like them, but the chicken that is usually cooked on the flat top is probably the better option.

The best food at any restaurant are the greasy dregs of presliced gyro meat that's been holding for too long. On a pita with toum, tzaziki, extra onions and pickle.

I like the rubbery patties that have been there too long on my Big Mac. I just enjoy old meats.

I'm saying the best food I've ever had was that pita. And I had it a lot cause I worked there.

I ate a lot of toum.

The best kebabby down my way fries all the meat up with onions & herbs & junk after slicing it off & puts it in a warmer whilst they sort the rest of the order out. Never seen anywhere else do it like that, but all their salads are homemade & sometimes half the menu is unavailable because their mum's napping, so I assume it's proper.

Maximized kebab technique is to cut a load off when the outside is excellently crispy and another layer down is well cooked so you basically get a mix of crispy bits and greasy bits to add to your heating bin. If noone specifies they get a mix. If they are regulars they ask for the crispy meats, the greasy meats, or else demand fresh and they get whatever the surface is then.

When you find maximum kebab you go there as often as you can because it is a beautiful and perfect place.

The one time where this is true for me is sausages. Yeah, gimme the one that's been on the hot plate for so long that it's crunchy.

Possibly because sausages are only good when I can't loving taste them.
