Just wondering, do you know what "Netflix and chill" means?

Is it pervy?

[LightningPoodle]

Is it pervy?

 

Yes. You can find a definition on urbandictionary. 

[akbogert]

Two different sorts of beans, tomatos, corn, bit of onions, bit of garlic, peppers (only if I got some left) ... *thinks* tabasco, jalapenos and the minced version of quorn.

Why?

 

Well I'm pretty useless in the kitchen for the most part, but chili is one of few things I've actually gotten used to cooking. And there's so much variety to how people make it. My grandmother's recipe was designed to reflect her Swedish lack of tolerance for too much spice, so I find myself tossing peppers in (habaneros if I can get away with it). But otherwise it's beans, tomato paste, tomato sauce, consomme, and a decent splash of cumin and chili powder. I should try adding corn to the mix.

 

I'd never heard of quorn before. We pretty much always use ground beef.

Did your Grandma put anything special in it, like... Sweden... related stuff?

Haha. Nope.

 

In truth, I'm a little surprised we have carried on so few specifically Swedish things (she passed away when I was a child, so it'd have been up to my grandfather or parents to pass those things on). Aside from meatballs and Lakerol, there's not much to go off of. My grandfather does have the orange horses and chickens in his living room though.

I so hoped you would enlighten me.

I don't eat meat. So quorn it is

[Paragonslustre]

What do you put in your chili?

 

First of all 

 

 

Your sig rocks   and by the way, your copy of the RSPCN newsletter will arrive approx on th 5th of every month.  Please take note of the re-homing section for rescue Nugs.

 

Chilli, the hotter the better - minced (we say mince over the pond) beef or lamb, fresh and tinned tomatoes and tomato puree, fresh jalapeños and dried habenero, cumin, black pepper, garlic, red kidney beans, chopped onions.  

 

Serve with rice, sour cream, tortilla chips, guacamole, grated cheese and salsa.  We don't do it very often, but when we do it has to be the works.

Läkerol! Läkerol! Läkerol! Yummy.   *nods towards äüö keyboard* 

But I agree, sucks that now you can't give me some pure-insider-Swedish recipes. *drinks*

Ah! Well that would probably explain why I'd not heard of it.

*looks forward to first issue*

 

That sounds like a very good list of ingredients. I kinda want the recipe.

 

I don't think I've ever seen ground/minced lamb at the grocery but then I haven't looked for it. I was going to say I've never even had it but then I remembered kibbeh (*pines for the days when he lived close to mediterranean and middle eastern restaurants*).

[Rel Fexive]

Bear in mind, he was responsible for Lost. That means that craptastic ending was on him.

Abrams' production company was behind Lost, he created the concept and he directed the first episode. He had no control over the writing and is not responsible for the ending. I feel people blame him for that unfairly, whatever else he may have or have not done.

Well if I remember to do so, I'll ask my grandfather if he still has any of her old recipes. Could be a fun thing to look into, though again I'm not sure my culinary wizardry is up to snuff for that kind of thing.

Dooo thaaaat! I mean, if you really want to. Would be pretty cool. I'll make the stuff and share pictures! *tips chef hat and winks*

Do Americans eat lamb, or is it mostly beef?  Genuine question.  A very high percentage of farmland here (Ireland) is pasture for the production of meat and dairy, the weather isn't really suitable for grains.  I once read that lreland produces enough food per annum to feed 55 million people - I think the current population is around 6 million.  Agruciltural export is a major part of the economy.

We consume a tremendous amount of beef. Lamb tends to be more expensive and a lot less common. Lamb chops are probably the most common cut I've seen, but even then I probably only had lamb once or twice for the first like 20 years of my life. That's American cuisine though. As I said, the mediterranean and middle eastern places obviously have it more. And I love ordering the lamb vindaloo at the Indian restaurants.

I hardly ever see Lamb. I like it though.

 

But I live in Texas too.. there's beef everywhere. Whether Americanized or Mexican food. Tex-Mex food in particular is more meaty than other regions.

I'll gladly do that! I'll promise to only use the piggy kind of bacon! *winks some more*

 

Maan Paragon, when I went to Ireland I had this cheese with herbs in it from some nearby-ish farm or something everyday for breakfast. Never found a similiar one over here and you know stuff was yummy when you still think about it now and then allthough it's been quite a while. *lights a candle for the cheese* Baby come back...

Lamb along with Duck is my favourite meat, and I'm a typical carnivore.  I did, though, become vegan for a year because (I'm not a tree-hugger) of the sh*it that is being pumped into the food chain.  In the end I realised it was pointless because of the sh*it that is sprayed on everything and round-up being used to dehydrate grain.  We're lucky now, I can buy grass fed meat where the animal has led a happy life and a quick slaughter and we grow a lot of our own veggies.  Cheap, mass produced crap filled with chemicals and phytoestrogens makes for a sad Paragon.  I would rather pay a premium for a decent product, but then how do people cope who can't afford that?  It's a much more complicated situation than the way I make it out to be.

 

I'll say no more because it's not the place *drinks*

 

Edit:  I'll just say, that when people hear the word lamb, they think they are eating these small, fluffy new born things.  No ...... they are big motherfuckers I think just under a year old.

Try farmer's markets.. some have subscriptions. I think it can be affordable, if you plan on buying enough.

Yay!  Christmas lunch sorted!  I vote everyone but me to do the washing up afterwards

I think in the UK farmers markets are brilliant, but where I live in Ireland not so much.  I can afford to buy what I want, that's the thing - I don't want to preach on behalf of families who can't and who rely on cheap food and by cheap I mean reconstituted, mechanically recovered chicken nuggets (OMG nug-gets!).  Seriously, I wonder how many people would eat offal now.  Look, I'm ranting - I'm going to kill some ghouls and eat them.   Goodnight DQ, I hope I didn't kill the thread.

I respect your opinion, but as far as I am concerned, if you put your name on something then you are responsible for it.

Yeah, conscious consumption of really anything these days is very difficult and often prohibitively expensive. Lucky to live somewhere where you have reasonable access to things that won't make you upset if you think about them.

 

As for the lamb thing, I agree, it's definitely a mental connotation thing. People will eat mutton without thinking, but lamb hurts. I recognize that technically lamb also implies younger (à la veal) but we don't really say "sheep" to refer to the meat and that upsets some people.

I think it is safe to say that beef is.  After all, it's what's for dinner.

 

[straykat]

I'd say in the South (the historical South East, I mean) it's Pork that's bigger.

[ravenesse]

I'm so with Paragon. And as I'm tired of the food debate ( - for some reasons I don't get - these kind of discussions often are forced upon me) I won't say more.

Except for one point: Lamb is pretty yummy!
