Intothepit
11.07.19 | Oxtail is a highly underutilized meat. Most times it's not even fucking oxtail. |

11.07.19 | i had a squid risotto once in croatia at this beautiful little restaurant right on this amazing beach and it was amazing. they colour the risotto black with the ink so idk if that subconsciously made me love it more but it was fantastic regardless |
Emim
11.07.19 | Idk if it's the best food I've ever had, but I recently had a marbled ribeye steak from a local place that was easily the best steak I've ever had. The truffle mac and cheese was also delicious, as was the scotch that accompanied it. |

11.07.19 | Truffle oil or the real thing, Emim? Because truffle oil is fucking ass |
Emim
11.07.19 | Real thing |

11.07.19 | Because truffles are fucking godly |

11.07.19 | once in uruguay i had a ham and cheese pie with burned sugar on top. I never had anything more delicious in my life, before or since. God i wish i could eat that shit every fuckign day. |

11.07.19 | Best thing I can make is flounder stuffed with crab meat, a specialty that I learned working at a nice-ish seafood dive as the executive chef |
RadioSuicide
11.07.19 | That sounds amazing rabidfish holy shit |
Intothepit
11.07.19 | Enjoy those shots of insulin, Radio.
Best thing I ever ate was surprisingly a plate of poutine in Miami. Typical poutine, but fries were fried in duck fat, made the peas mushy (which I've been told is an Australian thing), gravy, cheese curds, and big hunks of foie gras. Was a little worried about the mushy peas, but holy fuck... |
budgie
11.07.19 | "but fries were fried in duck fat"
can confirm fries fried in duck fat are godly |

Intothepit
11.07.19 | There's this Italian joint in Palm Beach Gardens that makes an oxtail ravioli with a "sweety drop pepper" pesto that blew my fucking mind |
rabidfish
11.07.19 | yea, it was simple food, but every ingredient was godly. Godly cheese, godly ham, godly sugar and godly dough. Man, have i tried to replicate that magic. |
blastOFFitsPARTYtime
11.07.19 | "made the peas mushy (which I've been told is an Australian thing)"
Definitely not a 'Strayan thing. Very much a UK thing. |
Intothepit
11.07.19 | It's so difficult trying to recreate food that a restaurant or friend made you, because no matter how great it tastes, it's never the same. |
Intothepit
11.07.19 | Understood. I stand corrected. |

11.07.19 | In Cyprus I stumbled into a cafe called Hobos one time and they had the best fucking chicken and cheese with bacon wrap thing on Earth sweet Jesus I’ve never forgotten such comfort |

11.07.19 | oh rabid your ham cheese pie thing reminds me of quiche lorraine
which is a definite contender for best food on the planet |
Intothepit
11.07.19 | Holy shit I can't remember the last time I saw quiche Lorraine anywhere lol. It's like lobster thermidor. |

11.07.19 | Anyway, best thing was this massive ravioli - like hand-sized pieces - at this plant-based place in Firenze. No idea what was in it, but fuck me, went back the day after even though it made me broke AF. |
Intothepit
11.07.19 | I'll go broke for good food. Probably why I'm about 25 pounds overweight |
rabidfish
11.07.19 | yea it's hard to replicate good food because it ain't ONLY about the food itself, u'know. It's sort of a phenomenological experience.
It's like doing psychedelics, in a way lol |

11.07.19 | I had a very unique gyro at this little halal spot in the red light district of Geneva that almost brought me to tears. I’ll be back someday, even though he city disappointed me |

11.07.19 | duck is my fav bird i've ever masticated thats for sure
so damn oily mmmmm |
Intothepit
11.07.19 | Duck confit is literally a top 5 food all time. Straight facts, homie. |
Intothepit
11.07.19 | The problem with duck is not the animal itself. It's people don't know how to cook it right. They get a duck breast and they treat it like a chicken breast, and they fucking wonder why it's so greasy. |
Sinternet
11.07.19 | theres a fries place near me that does cocktail/fries combos which rule. there's a dark chocolate fries/espresso martini one which is so fucking good |

11.07.19 | also had this sardine filet baguette thing with some kind of fig preserve and some other shit on it for bday this year that made me nut a bit |

11.07.19 | dude i've had anchovies prepped as an appetizer in the med and it's fucking awesome but in the states every anchovy product i've seen is salty trash that's only usable in a vinaigrette. idk where to find good anchovies |
Intothepit
11.07.19 | Well, this was a place in Delray Beach, FL that has since closed because the chef wanted to try his chops elsewhere. I don't remember where they got them from but they weren't your typical American bullshit. |

11.07.19 | Bien Trucha in Geneva, IL is up there. the swordfish tacos are insane |
Intothepit
11.07.19 | What kind of beer would you recommend with a moules et frites, Blake? Making that for baby making night on Friday. |
Inveigh
11.07.19 | I'd probably go with a farmhouse ale or saison for that. can't go wrong with Saison Dupont. they're light in color and body, but flavorful in a funky/tart way and pair well with anything, but I think especially well with that dish |
Inveigh
11.07.19 | if you want something American that comes in a 4/6pk, try Tank 7 by Boulevard |
Intothepit
11.07.19 | I have a craft beer place by where I live that had pretty much anything. I will look for all of those. Thank you, kind sir. |
Inveigh
11.07.19 | those should both be pretty easy to find at any store with a decent beer selection. if they have elite stuff I'd recommend Boulevard Saison-Brett, Brasserie Fantome Saison, Jolly Pumpkin Bam Biere, or any saison/farmhouse by Logsdon.
those are all very funky though. if you want something easy drinking with a similar flavor profile, try Weihenstephaner Vitus. oldest and probably bestest brewery in the world. |
Intothepit
11.07.19 | No I like a bit of funk, especially when the food I'm eating is subtle. |
Inveigh
11.07.19 | me too man. in that case, find any ale in the saison/farmhouse style with brett. love that shit |
Intothepit
11.07.19 | Perfect. Yeah I've been trying to pair more beer with food lately. Wine is so much easier. |
Inveigh
11.07.19 | love both of them, but now that i'm in my mid 30s i can't drink too much of either anymore or I feel like shit the next day. straight hard liquor is the only way to avoid that I guess. |
Intothepit
11.07.19 | I'm the opposite. Liquor fucking kills me now. I'm incapacitated for the next 24 hours. |
Inveigh
11.07.19 | as long as I drink it neat or rocks, and have some water nearby, i'm good. but more than a couple heavy craft beers will have my head pounding the next day for some reason, which is a bummer. also, i've had 2 Revolution Cafe Deth's tonight (bourbon barrel aged imperial coffee stouts at ~15%), so tomorrow should be fun considering I'm interviewing fresh grads from 8am right through lunch

Intothepit
11.07.19 | See, and this is why I work from home now. |
Inveigh
11.07.19 | my home contains a 1 year old and a 3 year old, which isn't much different than the early 20 somethings i manage at work (no offense to the young millennials out there), so i'm screwed either way |

11.07.19 | The best one I had was on my diploma graduation celebration. We went to a nice restaurant and I ordered something called "The Witch's Bowl". It was a HUGE portion of the best food ever: it was mostly made from pork and liver with a fantastically seasoned green sauce (I have no idea what was that) with french fries and grilled cheese served in a bowl. I wish I'd know the recipe for that witchy sauce...! |
Intothepit
11.07.19 | Anyone ever have haloumi? |

11.07.19 | Yep. If you get a disk of it, it makes a great meat substitute for burgers. |

11.07.19 | I got a nice size block of it. Was told to grill or pan fry it and drizzle it with some honey. |

11.07.19 | A few years back, I was in the hospital with diverticulitis. I wasn't allowed to eat anything for a few days until they beat the infection in my stomach, or even drink water. I just had an IV, and when my mouth got dry, they let me suck on ice cubes. When they were ready to let me start eating again, they didn't want to start with solid foods, but they gave me a lemon ice and some jello. That lemon ice was the best meal I ever had. |

11.08.19 | All the bbq I ate growing up in Memphis. The ribs, the pulled pork sandwich, brisket etc. God, I miss it.

11.08.19 | When I was staying with a host family in the east of France, we went to their friend's birthday party, where they were slow-cooking a rotisserie lamb. Apparently that's a pretty common thing to do for special occasions there: get a whole lamb, put it on a spit, slow-roast it over an entire day, and just keep gradually pulling meat off it. It was delicious, and the sides they served were really good too. There was one salad that I'm pretty sure was just julienne carrots in a vinaigrette, but I loved it and still wish I could figure out how to replicate it |
