@Krimson let me throw another at ya. Caccio e Pepe.

I am going to build on this for a second.

If I said Ramen how many of you guys think I'm talking about that pack you throw in water?

Now, Tonkotsu Ramen....

Another pork dish @Krimson

Had it several times in Japan, bit different than the quarter packs at the store.

I've never had it with pineapple in it, at least I couldn't taste it if it was there. We use allspice berries, scotch bonnet, jalapeno, nutmeg, cinnamon, thyme, OJ, onions, soy, vinegar, garlic, ginger, lime, and probably a couple other things that I'm not remembering

I’d most assuredly would like yours better!!!
I don’t think fruit especially pineapple should ever be cooked into, on or with savory foods.
Disclaimer: some small amounts of “juice” can be ok.

My nephew makes jam up ramen…. A couple years ago he packed up and went to Japan for 2 weeks right by himself on a whim.
I’m not even aware of a “good” ramen at a restaurant in the nw Florida area. There’s a few small “ramen” places, I’ve tried them and don’t care for them.

Heavy on the black pepper for mine!!!
Add an egg yolk sometimes.

I'm not a pasta fan. I've considered making it for my wife so I could try it but haven't convinced myself yet. Anthony Bourdain is the reason I've considered trying it.

I don't mind fruit with savory foods, figs, apple, and pear pair well with pork to me. Like pineapple with chicken or ham. The key to me is balance, i don't want the dish to be fruit forward.

You told me...but, that's also the reason I mentioned this.

Remember the boiled turkey I mentioned the other day? I just pulled a fresh loaf of sourdough bread out of the oven...gotta make some gravy...opened face turkey with gravy on sourdough.

You can watch video about not using the packet, with great ingredients.

It's all about the broth and most people just aren't going to spend the time required to get that taste right.

Bingo! It's no different than "measure twice, cut once."

Reminds me of when we got the pizza oven at the bar. JD probably spent two, three days a week...for almost six months, just working on the dough. Outside of the profit margin I'm not a big pizza fan. But I understood his "frustration."

 

[TerryP]

Yep some things are just worth the money.

Oh, I'm anal about this one. They are all sheathed and kept in a drawer by themselves.

 

[TerryP]

A neighbor gave me a jar of olives. I'm not a fan. She mentioned Empanadas. I'm not a fan. It's boring to me.

@Krimson is a bit of a bigot when it comes to pastas. I would say full blown bigot but his wife has her opinions...

Laksa. I am not a fan of coconut at all. But. I've had it with chicken and seafood. There is a "creaminess" around the dish that is a lot like a she crab soup. It just hits.

Would you send me your recipe. I have been wanting to get one started.

You know, this is a process (yes, a small giggle there with conversation on the other forum.)

I warn you. You will be giving away bread unless you guys eat that much. I get picky with this...but, do your thing, not me looking for a specific brand of flour. (Unbleached is the best.)

What kind of scale you use? It matters...but, do your own thing.

1/2 cup of whole wheat flour
1/4 cup of water is where you start.

Like a damn kid, you gotta feed every day. It's cheaper.

I use bread flour, but you can use all purpose. This can be a couple of three days to get started, maybe as many as a week. 1/2 cup of flour each day...1/4 cup of water. 1

EACH DAY! Ya gotta stir it a couple of times a day for the oxygen to get in.

If ya want to get into this I will. Let me know when you are good with day one.

I've been called worse by better.

I'll do empanadas for breakfast from a good Latin joint but yeah not a lot of depth there.
