Are we that uncultured that our butchers don't even stock probably the best cut for Smoking? I've visited 20 different butchers
around Melbourne, from gourmet nu-butchers to traditional European immigrant butchers. I even went to the Halal Turkish butchers. Not one of these butchers even knew what the Brisket cut is. Today, I finally found a Vietnamese butcher that stocks Brisket but the quality of the cut was not great. What is wrong with the barbecue scene in Australia?

search for " J R Forster meats" to get brisket in Melbourne. they are a wholesale supplier based in the northern suburbs, but if you phone them and ask im certain you could go pick up a few kgs of brisket. Last I know, they have 3 or 4 varieties of brisket, prices ranged from $11 to $13 a kilo (wholesale)
Also costco docklands carries brisket
I'm on the Gold Coast and most of the butchers around me stock it. I've got a butcher in walking distance that has it cheap as fuck all the time.
Are you asking the guys behind the counter or just window shopping?
>>8552996
Can't you just get an equivalent cut that's taken from the same part of the cow?
What's the cheapest simplest espresso machine that will actually make good espresso?
Who here makes their own espresso?
Gaggia. You'll need a decent grinder as well. I.e. $200+

What I like to do is watch cooking shows on jewtube until I see a dish that might be good, then google recipes.

How long can you leave buttered toasted bread at room temperature?
Three minutes
>Butter lasts weeks on the counter
>Bread lasts weeks on the counter
Unless the moisture in the butter is a problem I would reckon at least a week.

Spotted the amerifat.
Lets cook
Todays cook is bacon wrapped steak bites
You will need
Half a kilo of rump steak or similar
25 slices bacon of choice
Thyme, oregano, marjoram, rosemary (fresh for fucks sake)
Normally I would sous vide to rare or so, but haven't the time today. You want to let your steak get to room temperature first.
>>8552838
>Thyme, oregano, marjoram, rosemary
All this, why?
>fresh for fucks sake
You're making literal fattie neet food. Why does it matter that it's fresh
>>8552838
The next step is cooking your steak. I am assuming we all know how that works, but also note that for this dish a flat pan works best, else you will get some bites with lots of seary malliard goodness, and some with none. I use coconut oil, but anything non aromatic with a sufficiently high smoke point will do.
>>8552845
Because dried herbs completely fuck the texture in this. Also I served these as canapes at a couple of high end members clubs in London, albeit with a few additions.
You now want to rest your steak, allowing the cells to reabsorb the meat juice and close up the cell walls.
Hey /ck/ I'm just making a cheesecake and I feel bad about throwing away the separated egg whites, can I safely consume them if I use them for omurice for dinner?
>>8552657
Quit being a weeb faggot and fucking drink them!
>>8552657
Should be no problem at all if you put them in the freezer. Did the same some weeks ago where I made Salzburger Nockerl in the evening
>>8552662
Freezer instead of the fridge? How where the Salzburger Nockerl, I'm Austrian but must admit I have never eaten them. They are supposedly quite a pain to make. As you would expect of a soufflé dish
For me it's cast iron. The best pan to cook with.
>>8552422
>would you prefer an item that last forever or one that doesn't
Great question, friend.
Everyone just scrubs the fuck out of cast iron anyway

I just ordered 18 tins of Crown Prince smoked oysters in cottonseed oil, but just found out it was a product of China.
I did a little research and apparently they are the oysters are only harvested in Chinese territorial ocean water, and promptly shipped over and processed in the US.
How potentially dangerous is the ocean near China and is there any other real risk I'm not considering? What's you guy's opinion?
IT'S SAFE IT'S SAFE CHINEE EXCELLENT QUALITY
>How potentially dangerous is the ocean near China and is there any other real risk I'm not considering? What's you guy's opinion?
ANCIENT CHINESE SECRET
if you're worried about environmental toxins you have no business eating oysters period.
So a parma?
Oh KFC, when will you figure out that nobody wants anything you offer except chicken and mashed potatoes. Now stop being innovative and give me a fucking original recipe drumstick.

In case all of you omnis, vegetarians, and """"""vegans"""""" forgot, here is your daily reminder.
Veganism is a lifestyle, not a diet.
You can't just have a diet void of animal products and call yourself a vegan. If your lifestyle promotes animal suffrage, enslavement, or murder in any way, you are not a vegan.
>"""""Vegan""""" dog owners
Yeah, not vegan. You're dog probably eats meat.
>""""""Vegan"""""" mothers
Do you breastfeed your child? If so, you aren't vegan.
>"""""""Vegans"""""" who eat organic produce
Manure is an animal product. It doesn't matter if your produce doesn't contain animal products, it was literally grown with cruelty.
If you qualify as """"""vegan"""""""" you should probably just call yourself a vegetarian.
I'm a friendly guy and make fulfilling conversation with almost everyone I meet. But if I find out that someone I'm talking to or someone within a 10 metre radius of me is vegan I'll fucking murder them.
>literal cow shit is an animal product of inherent cruelty
>>8552073
To stir the pot
>Some vegos do feed their dog meat free foods. Don't know if it works, maybe b12 supps
>Breastfeeding is fine, you have consent of the animal
>Implying all produce uses manure
what are /ck/'s thoughts on J. Kenji Lopez-Alt?
>>8552044
/ck/ can't stand him because he's not an obese fast food reviewer and he has a confusing but definitely not white name so we can't figure out which ethnic slur to use. also sometimes he talks about stuff that isn't green bean casserole which makes him a "cuck"
>>8552099
anon what do YOU think about him
>>8552103
He's alright I guess. I've used a few of his recipes. Nothing terribly unique, but I trust him more than most internet celebrities.
