I think I would enjoy that. Yes Batlord, I love sour cream.

I made this chili recipe for the super duper bowl yesterday, but I also made a vegetarian batch substituting the beef and sausage with 2 packages of Morning Star Crumbles, and I used a bit more garlic and a pinch of salt. The difference in taste was negligible, and everybody raved over both.



Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large red onion, diced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 pound lean ground beef
8 ounces Italian sausage, casing removed
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
One 4-ounce can tomato paste
One 12-ounce bottle beer
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
One 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
One 15-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
One 15-ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed

Garnishes:
Shredded Cheddar
Sour cream
Chopped green onions

Directions:
Add the olive oil to a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onions and peppers and saute until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until just fragrant. Stir in the beef and sausage, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon, and cook until browned, about 6 minutes.

Drain the beef mixture through a colander. Add it back to the Dutch oven and stir in the chili powder, cumin and oregano. Cook for about 2 minutes. Stir the tomato paste into the beef mixture; this will "toast" it and give the chili more flavor. Add the beer and stir up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer, and then add the diced tomatoes and beans. Simmer on medium-low for 2 hours, stirring on occasion to keep the bottom from sticking.

Top with shredded cheese, sour cream and chopped green onions before serving.

Made spag sauce with them a couple of times. They are surprisingly good.

Red-eye gravy is amazing (and very simple) if you make it right. There are more complex recipes, but the one I use is three ingredients.

Step 1) Cook pork (bacon, country ham, etc) in pan
Step 2) Remove meat
Step 3) Add 1-2 cups weak-ish coffee (Unless you want straight coffee taste)
Step 4) Reduce heat
Step 5) Whisk in flour to thicken

Serve drizzled on top of pork product, potatoes, etc.

Some variants add spices like cayenne and paprika, so feel free to experiment.

Anyone on here had foie gras?

Chula Vista

Yup. Had uni recently too. Both are hugely overrated. Interesting taste and texture? Sure. Same could be said of a snot.

Saw a video on it and it looked tasty.

Did you know about the way it was made before you ate it? I'd like to try it but after seeing that, don't think I will tbh.

Chula Vista

Ya. I didn't order it but was offered a bite from someone at the table who did. Same with the uni. Both are in that category of food that if you'd walked out of the jungle not knowing anything about them, you'd probably go meh. But they have this "thing" associated with them that make it so hipster cool to say you like them.

A slice of really good NY style thin crust pizza >>>>>>>>> foie gras and uni combined.

Yeah, the way it's produced is rather unsettling: Foie Gras: Cruelty to Ducks and Geese | Ducks and Geese Used for Food | Factory Farming: Misery for Animals | The Issues | PETA
