Lin, we Polaks also know that. So many people strive for that lowfat diet, not realizing that the fat you eat is not the same fat as on your bones. It's not as if you eat an ounce of fat and it becomes a pound of fat on your body, the fat on your body comes from the loaf of bread you ate with it. (a big plate of spaghetti is about like eating a loaf of bread) People are oversimplistic in some ways, need vitamin B7, eat something with B7 in it. It simply does not work that way. It does for essential minerals, but not for vitamins. And it would be foolish for us to assume that science has defined all that is necessary to a healthy life. If so, and they would diseminate the information, there would be doctors in the unemployment line. On the other hand, Orientals might do quite well on a diet without animal fat. Just fish and such. Of course such topics are politically incorrect so I will abandon this train of thought right now. Many old dishes seem too rich, and some are, for our lifestyle. My kash is not something you eat every day. There are many other things that are good for you in a certyain amount, just not gallons of it every day. Any more than this is getting too close to a hijack, but the OP was about ethnic food so, so far I think I am OK. I am still with the OP here though, if 'tis truly Mexican, 'tis maize, if made with wheat 'tis not. But do we truly want Mexican food ? Do we want pizza with nothing on it, even cheese ? Tell you what intrigued me, steak Tartar. Think about the people who ate that, conquerors ! Marauders ! Warriors ! Yes, perhaps I'll look into that again, it's raw is it not ? Racialists and seperatists do have a legitimate complaint about multiculturalism, that it destroys itself. As intermingling and interbreeding proceed, the different cultures become homogenized. That is true, but we are now at a point in history when we can enjoy the best of both. Foreign foods are intriguing, some appetizing. Not all are appealing, I like my fish fried, same with alot of things. Orientals eat it raw. Well so do others now, and that is all fine, we have choices. But I am still not sure if the OP was looking to start about naming things or their substance. In other words, is it authentic or not ? If it is, it is likely to have animal fat in it. That means quite a few dishes, almost all in fact. These tofu burgers are not what fueled the development of the world. (OK it's Saturday) T

When girl was in high school, girl had the good fortune of having a part-time employment in a oriental restaurant where the entire family that owned and operated the restaurant were actually from Szechuan Province. What girl discovered while working there, the kitchen did its own butchery. They have always done so, preferring to choose their own cuts. They never used MSG because they believed it cheapens the meals they were preparing for their customers. Learned a lot from them where cooking is concerned. Taste with your sense of smell, with your eyes when you perceive the assorted colors, a mouthful of food should be tasted all over and even at the back of your throat, but never as it is swallowed or as it awaits digestion. Burping is not a nice omen to the end of a meal, some cooks feel they screwed up the meal. Cooking is an art and comparably could be perceived as a discipline. Another lesson girl learned is that you can tell a lot about a person by how they sit at the table, portions upon their plate and how they eat. Its interesting to note when everyone sits down at the table, dishes are placed just within arm's length so no one's arm crosses over another individuals plate. Fast food is not real food. Everything has sodium in it. When was the last time you sat down at a meal that lasted almost 4 hours? People that rush through their meal. There really is no need, you can always ask to have your meal reheated. It is a courtesy that you pay for in the cost of your meal at a restaurant. Also, if you are a mother, a restaurant that will prepare as part of the family meal baby food is a good restaurant. Even worked at one restaurant, a greek restaurant, that actually prepared a meal for the family pet that was in the car parked outside. They actually took being a family very seriously, pets included. Reason that all this was stated is it is all about quality in the food prepared for you. Food is another of life's pleasures, along with good drink. Girl can cook up a storm when given the chance.

The best herring I have ever had in my life was at a brunch buffet in Norway maybe twenty years ago. I knew there were many different kinds of herring dishes, but this was just mind-boggling. And they were all delicious!

Well, I was reading about freezing tortillas (which I have found leaves them dry and crumbly) so I start reading all this crap about >flour< tortillas. For fuck's sake, tortillas are CORN. The Aztecs, Olmecs, Zapotecs, Mayans didn't have wheat. Whatever the fuck those flour things are are closer to Pita bread or matzo than tortillas. You are correct. I should have specified wheat flour "tortillas". I don't know if Amaranth was used as a flour. I have a small Pre-Columbian cookbook that might have some info.

Imagine - freezing tortillas! Poor little guys; what could they possibly have done to deserve that? Do you find it good sport or something, catching them? Its hardly like they move very fast on those stubby little legs. And then to complain that freezing makes them all dry and crumbly! What the hell did you expect? Theyre hardly going to emerge from -20 C with a smile on their faces are they? You people make me sick! I hope a tortilla - one of those huge ones from the Galapagos - takes a shit in your bed real soon! E I'm sure I'll come up with a snappy comeback any day now... [8D]

I don't know much about pre-Columbian food, but at least today you can buy amaranth flour. quote: ORIGINAL: Hippiekinkster I don't know if Amaranth was used as a flour. I have a small Pre-Columbian cookbook that might have some info.

That's it? That's all you people have to bitch about? You start twenty million threads about "My sir wants to put a badger in my nose. SHould I have insurance?" or any number of other idiotic retarded stupid whines, and then when you get the chance to do a Dennis Leary, you fall all over each other to be pussies? Buddha on a fucking Buttplug. I was reading my beer forum, and there's a thread about what pisses you off about bars. here's a good one: "One thing that gets me if your stuck in no beer land and blue moon, or any sort of American Hefe is available and the bartender assumes that you want fruit in your beer. No I don't want it. If I wanted a cocktail I would order one. I feel they need to ask if you want fruit or not. I never liked it, and didn't feel it added anything to the beer. But recently on the news they had a segment on bacteria levels found on the garnishes put in drinks. Especially lemons and oranges for water and beer. Out of the 20 or more bars and restaurants tested all the places fruit or garnishes tested positive for fecal bacteria. This comes from either the server/bartender not washing their own hands, or picked up off the bar from other dirty patrons, but it ends up in your drink when they use their hands instead of the tongs like they should be using. So yeah, no fruit for me despite the dirty and offended looks the servers may give thinking I'm crazy for not wanting it." http://beeradvocate.com/forum/read/1703515 Fecal means SHIT. You know that, right? There's SHIT in your drinks. People are disgusting pigs. That upscale restaurant you go to, there's some guy finishing off your plate before it goes out. An "expediter". He takes the plate from the Salamander and pretties it up. He wipes the rim to make sure there aren't any ugly sauce drops. Well, he uses that same filthy cloth time and time again, and spreads shit from plate to plate, all so you can have one of those "tall food" monstrosities that Bobby Flay or Anthony Bordoine pushes out the window. Frustrated architects or something. I'm surprised more people don't end up in the ER with 3-day shits. Fucking gross. How many times have you seen some dirtbag fuck come out of a stall in a public restroom and scoot right on out the door? After adjusting his tie, of course. Public restrooms freak me out. I want to hose them down with bleach before I go into one. Then they have these motion-activated faucets, and when you are through, you have to grab a lever and crank it to get a paper towel. You just re-infected yourself. Disgusting. I get the paper towel FIRST, then wash, then use the paper towel to turn off the water and open the door to exit the restroom. The French have the right idea. The Bidet. WASH yourselves. This whole idea of taking a wad of paper and smearing the shit all around your asshole thinking you are clean, UGH. Stay the fuck away from me. Don't even think about shaking my hand, you pigs. I don't get skidmarks in my smallclothes. I know how to clean myself. Humans are scum. [;)]

Ok, I don't have the attention span to read the longer posts, but to the OP, I see where you are coming from. However, we have tacos (or what WE consider tacos) at my house regularly. Probably once a month or so. But my mom is allergic to corn. Any kind of corn products. So we are glad that they have the flour tortillas that you buy in the grocery store. Plus, I think that they are easier to roll up. Being the mother of a 3yo, it makes it soooo much easier to get him to eat if it's all rolled up and cute lookin. lol I heard someone (probably my brother) say that the way that I eat spaghetti {tossed in some butter, add garlic, seasoned salt, and the sprinkly cheese (the stuff that starts with the P. Can't spell it. not gonna try)} is "Un-American"! He also says that not eating chesseburgers and Pizza is un-American.... I just look at him and laugh. As for the perogies, I make my own. But they aren't like how anyone else has eaten them I'm sure. I make my own dough, potates, and all that good stuff. I only call them Perogies because it was getting harder and harder to get people to eat them since I used to just call them "Potato Balls" lol

Termyn8or -> RE: For Fuck's Sake... (12/22/2008 8:15:58 AM)
We have perogi day about biannually here. Sis and I go down to the olman's and boil up a sack of potatoes, get out a bag of flour, a dozen eggs, a bunch of cheese, butter etc., and make perogis until we run out of something. Sis makes the regular ones, meantime I root through the fridge looking for something we have never tried stuffing them with before. Some things work out, others don't. T

I need some now Being pregnant means cravings like freaking crazy. whimpers Here is my blog on Perogis. http://kaiyabarasha.multiply.com/journal/item/272/The_Great_Perogi_Revolt_of_08 Gwyn

quote: ORIGINAL: Aszhrae Prefers to make my own tortillas and taco shells. As for anything that is made synthetically or where it comes from is not something you would normally eat or drink. Girl never touches it again. Case in point, artificial sweetener that is still used in the process of embalming. Coffee whitener that is actually a petroleum product and is flammable, why do you think it is placed in ration packs, its not to whiten your coffee, its to be used as an accelerate when you are attempting to start your campfire. There are many other things, the worst is MSG. The reason you get headaches, stomach aches or suffer from nausea and even puking, is because the damn stuff is poisonous. They still use it because its a preservative and restorative. Why would anyone go out of their way to poison themselves especially since everyone is running about trying to stay healthy, to become healthy and improve themselves. Bay Leaves are poisonous. Oregano is a narcotic. That is very wise. I refuse to use artifical sweetners, and that lightener crap. Cool Whip gives me the geebies too. If it isnt natural, I do not buy it. I do not buy canned veggies, or overly processed meats or any of that junk. People are so much healthier when they shop on the edges of the store. ( Fresh meat, veggies fruit, bread dept. Dairy case ect. The moment you start getting stuff in boxes and cans it has preservitives, additives, and fillers. Not to mention you are now mostly paying for packaging, and advertisements. Not the food product. Now mind you the person who is saying this comes from a Canning family. ~ We have some of the largest and well know veggie canning in the US. I wont eat the stuff. ~ Our family uses the least amount of crap to put in the canned veggies.. but I still prefer fresh or frozen every time. Gwyn. Who uses both corn, and flour tortillas. ~ They each have their place.

Everywhere I go I have to ask about beans. I try to impress the beans-in-the-chili folks the error of their ways, but it gets me nowhere. Now, I had a roommate once who always had her chili with rice, which I hadn't heard of before. And then there's this stuff from Cincinnati that claims to be chili, but is served on spaghetti, with cheese to top. I figure it's at least 1100 calories. thornhappy the chili whisperer

Ewwwww. Not that I've tasted it, though. I think my dislike for it comes from doing a class project with Skyline Chili for a systems engineering class in grad school. The summer o' doom. Now, bathrooms ol' HK...airport bathrooms give me the most willies, especially ones with "changing stations". At least a lot of the bathrooms are now switching to sinks and paper towel dispensers with motion detectors.
