Bumped Random Chat - I want BBQ

[Bluelegs]

Looks good toump! Only thing I'll note is that those chips look way under. The frozen chip packets always lie and say they need around 15-20 minutes in the oven. Give them just over half an hour and they will be awesomely crispy.

Deadliest Catch has to be one of the only shows I watch and look forward to these days, so much garbage in TV.

I've missed the last season and I believe a new one is starting.

I still miss Phil Harris.

Just looked him up, he's been dead 11 years already! Also died on my birthday but not sure the two things are related.

You guys know me, I ask all the hard hitting questions around here. So I've got another blockbuster question to ask.

Do car parks classify as indoors or outdoors?

The new series started on Wednesday, probably plenty of replays of it over the weekend.

Yeah the chippies were bloody awful (and my oven is terrible)

Serves me right for being incredibly impatient and lazy.

Indoors then, except for the 24th of july

If you do smaller salamis maybe 20-25cm long you can vacuum seal them and they last forever. I've still got some for when I made them in July 2019. Are you just using salt or are you using the curing salt 2 as well?

From memory we do 100g salt per 5kg meat which would be 2%. Make sure you make it clear to the butcher it's for salami so they know the fat content to make it with. Most butchers have a pretty good idea. You can also choose how fine you want the mince to be. we have it a bit more chunky but if you want it to be fine ask the butcher to double mince it or use a finer mincer. Lastly pig gut is a lot better than fake casing in my opinion, make sure you give it a good rinse first. No culture used as its a traditional method a friend had but would love to try it as I think is would add a little more of the sourness salami has.

All great tips, thanks.

yeah we are going with the pig gut casings and probably prefer the meat a bit chunkier first up I’m still towing up between using just salt and using the curing salt 2, just dont want anyone to get sick.

Hey everyone check it out, Toump did cooking!! That was really ******* good burger too! “Give it a crack!”

Here’s my top 3 tips on making really ******* good burger:

1. Don’t be a ******* Xenophobe. Get some “international” culture in there: I got a little mild American mustard, some Dutch mayonaise, and classic, Australian Heinz tomato sauce! Little cheeky bit of that asian chilli tomato relish works a treat too. How good is fusion?!?! *chefs kiss*

2. fu** lettuce. Amount of space one lettuce requires in a fridge is out of proportion to the amount of legitimate uses of lettuce (ie: a burger).
If you want to add some green sh*t in a burger like I did just buy premade salad!! Mine is some Coles 4 leaf blend with baby spinach... fancy!!!!

3. MOST IMPORTANT!!!
Don’t stooge yourself with beer!!!
The BEST drink to indulge with burger? CHOCCY MILKSHAKE (not pictured). Throw some ice cream/non-dairy frozen dessert in there too sometimes, it really brings out the flavour of the hamburger patty.

Bonus tip: throw the cheese slice on the burger while it still on the grill so it melts proper

Milkshake recipe coming soon!

Sorry not the best piccy- i like the eating bit more than the photo bit- but goddamn did it taste sexy!!!

Mate you are kidding yourself, Milkshakes with burgers! GTFOOH, are you twelve? Beer and Burgers mate, can't go past it, and cook your bloody chips mate.

Milkshake > Beer ...agree with Toump.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Although I agree with Proper Gander about the bun, way too sweet for a burger imo.

Must be kids hour on BF! Geez

While we are talking sht cooking, I don't do photos but anyone who likes nachos I can do them better than you thanks to one secret. Put your salsa in the freezer! while you cook the 3x layered chips (2 bags) , cheese, ham (shaved) or bacon piece and refried beans. Once done, dump the salsa , guacamole, sour cream on top of that bad boy and finish with some spring onions.

My Mrs and I still have what I call " Mt.Nacho " every so often, i made for it her when she came over for one of our early dates together and she still loves it despite it being a heart attack in an oven try.

 

[Toump Ass]

Just quietly I’m genuinely amazed people can tell those chippies are still frozen, thought I got away with that one.

Mate, there isn't a drink in this world better than a proper chocolate thickshake I don't think.

I make nachos often so this intrigues me, what does freezing the salsa do? When do you put it in?

The cold and heat work so well together, that's why. It's a trick I learnt from a chef who made them at my local pub many years ago. I put the jar of salsa in the freezer when I turn the oven on to preheat while layering the chips, cheese, ham and refried beans in the oven tray and take it out of the freezer once they are done. You obviously don't want it to completely freeze (just get it as cold as possible) as it's in a glass jar so take it out of the freezer and put it in the fridge if it's been in there longer than 15 minutes I'd say.

I promise you , once you've tried this way you won't go back, so much better than cooking the salsa in the oven.

Ok, I'll try it out. Also, who the **** puts ham in nachos????

I do. That's who.

My nachos kick everyone's ass. Haven't had a single person not love them.

 

[AmericanAFL]

Intrigued by this salsa gambit.

Figured the ham was an Aussie thing. We use ground beef or flank steak.

Most people add ground beef or no meat but alldat is a weird campaigner

You guys know me, I ask all the hard hitting questions around here. So I've got another blockbuster question to ask.

Do car parks classify as indoors or outdoors?

For mask purposes? I know there were mask signs all through the multi-level at Prahran during lockdown so indoors if it’s covered I guess
