Ye Old Ship, in Fullerton??

Anybody here like Carribean cuisine?

My specialities are Caribbean and French...I make serious jerk chicken. Plenty of Red Stripe needed.

Leg of lamb tonight done Le Courdon Bleu style....parisian potatos...mmmm...

Speaking of jerk chicken, I once new a guy named Ben who was such a jerk that he was chicken to be truthful.

Ayup. That's the one. They have the best Sticky Toffee Pudding I've *ever* had.

I like Italian food....I used to make this kick-ass pasta sauce, but I forget exactly how to make it, as it's been a couple years. I wonder if I have it saved on my computer.....I'll have to check.

I make award winning ribs.

I'll see if I can find a photo of me with the trophy that I can post...

I like ribs....good baby back ribs without tons of fat on 'em....

I went to the Carribean once. Does that count?

**EDIT**

I was having a Ben/Euro moment, I lied. Actually I have been to the Carribean three times.

I like English food. I gues it stands to reason, seeing my mother is 100% English, coming over at age 20 (or roundabouts).

The best thing(s) about English food are, A)candy, and B)vinegary chips(fries).

Mhhmmmhhhmmmmmmm!

Recipe for LIVE Monkey Brain Surprise

Most people have heard the tale of those who strap a live monkey down and eat its brains for dinner. It has even made it into the Hollywood mainstream in movies like "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom."

But now you too can enjoy, Benny Agra offers all kinds of monkey for the table and here we provide our recipe for Monkey Brains.

Recipe

The following is Benny Agra's special recipe for eating live monky brains. Remember call us now to get your eating monkey

First Take one living monkey (Benny Agra can supply monkeys for eating as well as pets).


Now you need to strap your best monky beneath a Monkey Eating Table (see below for details) with hole in center or spaced out at each guest's eating place.

The monkey must then be strapped beneath the table with its head poking up through a hole or holes.

You can then shave the monky head if you like. Hit monkey on the head, scoop and serve.

The diners usually deliver the fatal blow themselves with hammers, the skull is sawed off and the brains are scooped out with spoons.

Sort of traditional this weekend at our house...Daytona 500 weekend. Ribs go great with racing...

GO Tony Stewart...

The trick this weekend will be cooking outside when it's 17 degrees.

Hey wait, get back to talking about EURO!!!! You might offend him with your constant subject-changing!

I still maintain that EURO owns you guys. And it appears that some of you actually take him seriously!! :lol: :lol: :lol: and it turns into a one-sided :fight: :fight: :fight: and some leave :mad: :cry: :mad:

He can always win because he is the only one controlled enough to only give away what he wants to. Hilarious! And the only one who has the reputation going. Rad/55 couldn't do it cause he's known as a nice guy, but EURO.....

I married into a British family. Nothing like boiled meat, bland potatoes and soggy veggies. Yummy.

It's easy to prepare - Bring huge pot of water to a rousing boil. Insert all ingredients straight out of the package - no seasoning needed. When meat is gray, you're ready to eat.

Serve it at your next party.

While that certainly used to be true ("the two reasons not to visit England are the weather and the food"), lately - probably 10 years or more (?) - some of the best chefs in the world are coming from there.

Oh absolutely. But we're talking stereotypes aren't we? ;) After all, it'll take a lot more than 10 years of greatness to overcome hundreds of years of "tradition" in the eyes of the ill-informed.

Any tips on what to do with leftovers from the monkey brain recipe?

...eat it with some fava beans and a nice chianti?

Some of the best chefs in the world come from the US, France, Italy, Germany, etc. - take your pick. And no doubt that London has some fine, very expensive restaurants. The question is whether decent fair is available at decent restaurants. I've only spent 3 days & nights in London, but I can't say the food remotely compared to the common fair available in any of the places I've been in Italy (Florence, Siena, Ravenna, Rome, Sorrento). Heck, I had better food in Montreal and Quebec City (which are delightful places to visit).

Not trying to bash the U.K. Lord knows we have more than our fair share of Stuckeys and Waffle Houses.

The Brit's will just have to content themselves with giving us Locke, Smith, Burke, Mill, Milton, common law and the Magna Carta and basically being the source point for all that is good in this country. No one faults them for not spending as much time on food.

And you're his biatch though hard to believe someone could be that small.
:D

I'm gonna be sick - excuse me...burp...oh sh..

:lol: :roflmao: :lol:
Sounds like my wifes cooking..... Polish folks practice the same fine culinary arts.

T.J.

There is good fare to be had in many places. But I can't argue with the idea that Italy and France still are the food meccas in Europe.

BTW - Gibby's in Montreal is still one of my favorite places. For food, anyway. Number 12's is always good fun. And Mon Village on the West island (and they brew their own beer too). Oh, and there is always Wings n'Things ... :D

Wow, that hurt. :cry:

Good going Rad.

Hey, English food isn't all just boiled to mush. A good deal of it is just, uh, deep-fried to a crisp. Like FishnChips? That's pretty good. And slow-cooking a hunk of beef works well for me. Boiling, though.....

Since I started the whole "English food is lousy" sub-topic, allow me to clarify. I am of English ancestry, and grew up in a home that practiced the "boil it til it gives up all hope of flavor" cooking style. Having now married into a family that contains Polish, Italian, German, and Lithuanian cooks, I can state unequivocally that English food does, indeed, stink. Or it would, if the aroma hadn't been left behind in a large pot of murky effluent with a thick layer of grease floating on top. :D

Oh God.....gonna.....*burp*....puke again........
