I got this baco noir because I had never tasted it before. I'm not sure if I like it. I hear wines described as "foxy", is that what this means? Maybe it will grow on me, I took a whiff and a sip the instant I popped the bottle.
Also, wine general.
no fucking cue.
i do know that if you decant Carlo Rossi burgundy for an hour, people assume it's a hell of a lot more expensive than $8/half gal.
"Foxy" replies to flavors associated with grapes in the labrusca species (like Concord or Cascade) rather than vinifera (basically all European varietals)
The taste is like Manischewitz or grape juice.

As a follow-up:
Baco noir is a vinifera-ripera hybrid, so the grape is partly native north American. So you might indeed be getting the foxy character.
Any opinions or personal experiences using a Pit Barrel Cooker? Looks interesting, seems to get some pretty good reviews.

$300 is a fucking ridiculous price.
>>7043262
Agreed. $300 is a retarded price for what is obviously just a modified barrel. You can get a much nicer, larger grill for that price.
What's for dinner? I'm going with a comfort food, mother fucking hot dogs in baked beans...honestly I know it's shit but who doesn't love it?
Anyway, what are you having?
>>7043223
Agree that pork sausages and beans is a classic and delicious combination, but I'd probably draw the line at hot dogs and baked beans, because it's just too fucking degraded. Also too full of sugar.
But who the fuck am I to talk? I was feeling lazier than you. My dinner tonight is bread, hummus, olives, pickled turnips and a bottle of wine.

cracked pepper and red wine angus beef snausages on a bed of carrots and beans softly supported by fine strained mash tatties combined with sour cream and chives, salt and pepper to taste.
Pork sausage with small sweet peppers and cherry tomatoes
And a weird ass bottle of canadian wine that I'm trying to make sense of

I am in a situation here.
I have friends coming over for my birthday this weekend and a few of them are girls who don't like the taste of beer or doing shots, so I am planning to make some sort of lemonade drink.
Any ideas on recipes? I have never made mixed drinks before so I have no idea what I am doing, and what mixes well with things.
I was thinking of getting some of pic related, and just mixing it with some flavoured Bacardi (either black razz or lemon flavour)... does that sound like it would be alright?
If not, what mixes well with lemonade?
>>7043168

Stir and enjoy or don't - I'm not bothered
Bump if you wanted to choke a customer on their own lower intestine tonight!
Arsehole table wanted 5 well-done steaks 10 mins after closing time. Manager was around and she's a cunt, so I couldn't say no.
FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Can you imagine? Doing the job you're paid to do
The horror, the horror
>>7043112
You dumb fuck, it was 10 minutes after closing. Not knowing how to read. The horror.
>>7043089

Who /malta/ here?
>>7042934
I like it but it's hard to find any variety in my country.
Jien Malti minn Malta. Għaliex?
It's pretty okay, but as an American it's usually located next to the other import sodas and tamarind jarritos wins out 95% of the time
What's some healthy food that I can easily pack and eat almost anywhere (or at least on a bench)?

carrots and cucumber with hummus
I want to make split pea soup with chicken for a family meal tomorrow night and I'm asking for tips for making a great split pea soup. I'll be doing it in a slow cooker with dried peas and chicken breast, chicken broth, carrots, sweet potato, onion, celery, and cabbage.
What would you do with it?
Also, what should I serve with it? Crusty bread? Any unique alternatives to bread come to mind? How do you round out soup for a meal?
Thanks, /ck/.
Split pea chicken lol wtf. Its ham and pea soup. The saltyness and ham fat change the pea goop into something edible.

What's the difference between spaghetti and carbonara?
THIS IS BAIT
spaghetti is made of wheat whereas carbonara is made of cream, my shitlord.
spaghetti is a type of noodle IE an ingredient
carbonara is a completed course
What do you think about this sandwich?

>>7042565
THAT OCTOPUS IS NOT CANNED
WARNING
OP IS A LIAR
Not really, no. Not with the 'pus as the star, anyway. Canned 'pus is best eaten as a salad ingredient.
With leeks and 'shrooms plus a few other ingredients, you can make a mushroom gravy to eat with rice and/or mashed potatoes. Also some meat.
Flour, 2tbsp
Oil, 2tbsp
Leek, chopped, 1
Mushrooms, chopped, washed and squeezed of excess moisture, compacted half cup
Salt, as needed
Stock, 1 cup
In SS pan, cook flour and oil together at high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden utensil, until about a shade or two lighter than milk chocolate.
Off the heat and stir in the leeks, mushrooms and a good sprinkling of salt; keep stirring until the sizzling stops.
Up the heat back to high and beat in the stock, whisking to dissolve the flour paste.
Allow to cook down to desired thickness, then serve over meat and rice or mashed potatoes.
Have some sautéed broccoli as a side dish:
Water, as needed
Broccoli, 200g
Oil, as needed
Garlic, sliced, 1-2 cloves
Chilli, sliced, as desired
Salt, as needed
Boil the water.
Chop the broccoli and boil 1 minute, then drain and rinse under cold, running water until the broccoli is cool to the touch.
Put oil, garlic and chilli into a sauté and set to high heat; when fragrant, add broccoli and sauté a minute or two to desired doneness.
Salt to taste and serve.
