The food thread

Regular Speck for comparison.
Italians seem to like german Speck a lot, they didn't even change the name.

As you guys know, I like to make most everything from scratch but I bought one of these and I now have a new mission in life. How to duplicate? 😀

I went through a period where I would not allow any industrially produced sauces like ketchup into my kitchen. Most of the experiments were a waste of time.

I would probably have peeled and seeded some tomatos got them cooking and then steam open a bunch of littlenecks with it and discard the shells throw everything with some bacon into the Vitamix and pound it all through a sieve. The chance that it was all worth it is 50/50 at best.

Clamato + liquid bacon flavor would probably do. I love this.

What are some other applications for Bacon Natural Flavor?•
• Give vegetarian foods bacon flavor.

I have a recipe for Clamato but it's actually a fair amount of work so when this stuff is on for $2 for the 1.89l, I just couldn't be bothered. 🙂
 
Can't decide

Going to a potluck. Can't decide what to bring.

I have an old Farberware Countertop Rotisary. I could show up a couple hours early and make a Pepper Crusted RoastBeef (bottom-round)

I could Braise a beef-chuck pot roast with Vinegar, Chili Powder, Cumin, Onion (like Colorado). Bring some Corn Tortillas, and serve a minimalistic Shreded Beef Soft Taco

I could bring a spicy Jambalya with Chicken, Ham, Keilbasa, and Andouie

Or I could bring a big pot of Cuban Style Pork and Beans. It's like big chunks of tender-melt in your mouth Pork Shoulder Blade (butt). Small red beans, onion, carrot, thyme, tomato-paste, hint of lemon juice. I love it. Visually it looks like Chili Con Carne, and everyone usually comments that I could do this or that to make it spicy....

Other guests will likely bring typical, potato-salad, baked beans, potato chips, macaroni salad.

I'm trying to supplement the hosts Hamburgers and HotDogs.

Which do you think will appeal to the widest audience?
