Seriously, I only need coffee. I could go a whole day without food, days even but not without my coffee. I often skip breakfast and only have my coffee, that's the first thing I start the day with after I've walked my dog, a cup of coffee without food. I'm a walking zombie until I've had a few cups in the morning's

Oh please, you humans know nothing about nutrition. We penguins have a balanced diet of KFC and foamy banana sweets. Yes, that is what I have had for my dinner. I have no idea how my weight stays consistent. Perhaps because I spend my time, as all penguins do, attempting to fly. I have had somewhat mixed results, but burn many calories.

[Arktinen]

Onewomanarmy, same here.   I've nowadays cut back to just 2 mugs (mugs, not cups) when I get up - but if I don't get my caffeine fix in 3-4 hours or so, I'll get a headache. Simple withdrawal symptom that can be alleviated by half a cup of coffee, nothing else helps. Sad.

 

But at least I've decreased the amount throughout the day; I used to drink coffee all day throughout. It's such a central part of our culture, too.

I have Crohn's-related intolerance to loads of things - pork (in all its forms, right down to gelatine), coffee, coke, dark chocolate, bananas, coconut, sweetcorn, green pepper, wholemeal flour and just about any kind of skin from fruit or veg. 

 

On the bright side, I'm Irish, so apart from Guinness all I really need is a big potato and I'm happy. Spuds, the food of champions - boiled, roasted, mashed, baked, fried, chipped, or made into crisps to be devoured when the munchies kick in. 

 

Two of us here go through about a kilo of Mature Cheddar every week, though we have an agreement that any soft, stinky cheese will stay in the fridge in her flat. French people. Some of the stuff I've seen her eat.......

I would also like to point out for the benefit of the judgemental humans of the forum, that Fridays are the one day where I eat especially badly. The rest of the time, I eat the usual penguin diet of fish, polar bears and human flesh.

[Arktinen]

Mmm human flesh. I hear it tastes like chicken.

Not exactly. It is somewhat more beefy.

Bsn also has cannibals??? Oh noooo

 

^ Is your real name Hannibal?

It is only cannibalism if you are the same species. As I am a penguin, it is obviously acceptable behaviour.

Oh damn, you found a loop hole! No one can permaban you for eating humans now

I feel for you, man, I really do. Having severe food allergies, I know how hard and sad it is having to give up a lot of things you'd really like.  You get used to it, though, at least to some degree. Weighing options: hmm would I like this tasty tomato pasty..... or the horrible pain and skin torn off in a few hours.. hmmmm options, options.

 

Irish are a lot like the Finns then. Potatoes! Also kept us here alive during the famine years, before the wars and during them. I keep quoting Tuomas Kyrö's (Finnish author) musings: Potato, the family member.

And wow, cheddar.. the only cheese that never enters this household, neither can stand that. Otherwise, love me some cheese.

[Terminator Force]

I heard that those up north get everything they need from just seal fat. So when the food totally goes bad in the world, that sounds like a possibility if the water isn't also fully polluted by then too.

 

I also hear friendly seals greet you upon arrival to the promised land.

 

 

 

 

 

Unlike US seals;

Mother: Gluten Allergy, Diabetic.

Mother's Husband(No relation, thank god.): Corn allergy, in any form.

 

If it doesn't have gluten in it it'll have corn/corn syrup/cornmeal...

 

Me... No food allergies whatsoever.

 

Remember earlier me saying how I was good at taking random stuff from a kitchen and making something decent? Thar's why.↑

 

Food allergies suck. Even if you don't have them.

 

I did learn the value of cooking for myself...

I wonder,,,, what is the best sauce to dip penguins in?

So jealous of your feast. Well played fine sir. As for penguins suace, penguin egg yolk of course. Ever had a waffle with egg yolk on it, thought it was gross too until I saw it on the food network and tried it. Egg yolk should be a dipping sauce.

What the hell is that????????

[Arktinen]

Oh, that's nothing alarming. Looks like a simple piece of chicken penguin being dipped in egg before they roll it in breadcrumbs or flour. The egg makes the crumbs stick better. For deepfrying chi penguin in oil/grease.   Probably has more meat in it than any Mcfuggets versions.

 

So many reasons not to eat deepfried stuff right there, even more when talking about CräpDonald's - lack of meat in the 'meat-like substitute products', for one.

[DaemionMoadrin]

I obviously do not eat while I play, I don't have enough hands for that and I really dislike dirty keyboards.

 

But when it comes to food... well, that's one of my passions. I love to cook. Typical german cuisine, italian, indian, thai, mexican... and odd combinations of it. I have dozens of curry and chili recipes from "oh god that's so good" to "burn your face off". (Fun fact: No one raids my fridge for leftovers without asking me first anymore.)

 

Almost every dish I make contains at least some meat. Some of them are almost nothing but meat. At the minimum they contain eggs. Even when I only cook for myself, I still take my time to make it look nice. And often make a salad as side dish.

 

You can cook filling, tasty and healthy meals easily... and the best part? It's usually cheaper than ready meals or take out food.

 

One of my favourites is ... don't really have a name for it... but you start with at least 1kg potatoes, 1kg ground beef, several red bell peppers and an onion. Dice the peeled potatoes and the bell peppers, cut the onion into small slices. Put the ground beef into a large pan (or pot) with some oil and sear it while you season it with some salt, pepper, cayenne pepper and whatever else you feel like. Once it's light brown on one side, add the onion slices and stir everything in the pan. Then you add the bell peppers and potatoes, stir everything well and add herbs and spices. (I count bacon as spice, cause it adds this smoky flavour^^). I'm too lazy to look up the translations for all the stuff I use but it's nothing exotic. Then you add half a liter of water, stir everything, put on the lid and let it simmer for ~45min, stirring it now and then. I serve it with a simple tomato salad (sliced tomatos with salt, pepper, oil, vinegar, some herbs and maybe a bit of onion). Absolutely delicious and is enough for up to 6 people (or 8, if they don't like man-sized portions ). All the ingredients don't cost more than 15 euros, so it's a very cheap. If you eat alone, you don't need to cook for days, just store the cooled down pan in the fridge over night.

 

With other dishes I invest a lot more time, mostly because I like to experiment. I have a list of marinades that some friends called insane. Hah, insane. What's so crazy about a cola and peanut butter marinade for steaks? That's probably a standard recipe somewhere.

So yeah, sometimes I spend ~2 hours just preparing the meat. Have to cut it right, then create the perfect sauce... and the end result is something that basically melts on your tongue. So. Good.

 

There's also something awesome about coming into the kitchen the next morning and the fragrance from last night's curry with basmati rice is still in the air... seriously, I love that smell.

 

I mostly drink tea. Just tea. All kinds of tea. No sugar, no milk. Sometimes I add a drop of honey. The rest of the time I drink fruit juice. Very rarely I allow myself a cola or ginger ale. I don't drink alcohol at all and I have never in my life had a cup of coffee.

[Arktinen]

^ Sound really delicious, and the passion for cooking shines through.   I laughed out loud reading that fun fact ..and because I like chili, I'd probably dare myself and take my chances in a similar situation.

 

Pots like that are really lovely, hearty foods. Reminds me a lot of Arkhne's Savoury Mince dish that I really like. I can cook myself, but The Kitchen is his Realm.

People have all kinds of similar, and different, variants of those long-simmering pots all around. I think we commonly use meat strips or chunks for those here up north. Grandpa used to put those in a cast-iron pot straight into a large wood-heating oven (not cooking stove oven). 

 

In this mixed household, we've learned of some similarities in Finnish and Australian basic cooking. 

However, he's introduced a whole new world of using pumpkin to me. All I'd really encountered here earlier were pickled pumpkin bits, and I hate those. Making pumpkin soup, scones, or especially mashing it in with the potatoes and carrots has become a new favourite of mine! Such colourful, healthy, tasty mash. Hence the interest in growing our own pumpkin.

 

Couldn't agree more on the curry and basmati rice smell - it's rice above any others to me. Beats even jasmine rice, that tends to be a bit sweet.

So many reasons not to eat deepfried stuff right there, even more when talking about CräpDonald's - lack of meat in the 'meat-like substitute products', for one.

 

Main reason being Canola Oil;

^ That processing cycle doesn't look healthy. They even say small traces of those chemicals can still be found in final product but not labelled. And even if there aren't traces of those chemicals, accidents do happen. Among other controversy with Canola Oil. So you're better off playing it safe and sticking with cold pressed extra virgin (meaning not processed and without additives) or coconut oils. They taste much better too.

 

And like sugar (namely high fructose corn syrup), it's in everything these days too (ie. potato chips).
