The food thread

Frankly, at least here, it is very hard ti find a good Bacon (at least good meat to make short.... and it makes all the différences- for the ones who knew a pork, see it growing with good food, then transform it in food... it can be sublim.... but frankly again if not knowing a farmer which make it without médecines, hormones, and give him acomes of oak tree.... forgett it : Oh what is this horrible water when cooking Bacon these days ! :mad: )
 
It is just that: Water although I have no idea how they get it into the bacon.

If you read the small print on packed bacon cheaper versions are only about 85% pork while some better ones are 96%. The difference is water.

salted water, hormons,

There is as much difference between a good pork and a bad one than between a Altec A5 and the little radio of my grand uncle.... and it is older than a A5 !

**** the industrials !... sorry I loose my nerves when it is about food ! They succeed even to make heavier the fischs...
 
If we want to avoid teflon cooking instrument, how would you cook fried eggs today ?


(avoiding the good black frying pan of Grand'Ma we never clean for omlett I mean)

I assume this question to be for my britain neighboors....

I use a temperature controlled cooktop. Either induction or resistive electric. It seems the secret is to get the eggs to cook without too much heat. I do lightly butter pans if they are not cast iron. I can't give you an exact temperature as it depends on how high you are above sea level, your patience and exactly how you like them. Once you get the time and temperature you can pretty much ignore them while cooking.

However for sausages 160 to 165 F cooks them wonderfully without burning. Just be sure the entire sausage is completely heated.

Offshore fish farming is the worst of all industrial farming methods.

On every level.
 
What about industrial cattle farms?

The main difference is that all the crap they spray and otherwise get into or onto the fish gets quickly dispersed as the farms are inevitably somewhere where there is a steady reliable current to keep oxygen levels up so they end up using much more turning underwater ecosystems into aquatic deserts for many miles beyond the actual farm.
And at least in the UK a pesticide allowed for fish has been banned for land use world wide for 30 years or so.
