Welcome to the /ck/ challenge: COLD MAIN DISH MEGA ALPHA EDITION

Do we jerk each other off after?

>>9197304
Well, no.
Feel free to jerk yourself off after, or even during.
The sky's the limit!

Sup, new thread?

>Step 7
We're making bread!

Yeast, flour, water, olive oil and sugar.

>Step 8

While you're waiting for that boy to double in size (if you know what I mean), collect a bunch of cold soup vegetables.

Cucumber, tomatoes, spring onion, some red peppers, a chili and a whole bulb of garlic. And whatever else is lying at the back of your fridge.

>Step 9

Blend them together with a tin of tomatoes, some vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar and olive oil.

Halfway through, add more tomatoes and pepper in a panic because the colour looks like a banana smoothie that's been left out too long.

Chuck it in the fridge - the longer it stays there, the better the flavor.

Meanwhile, our dough is ready to go.

>Step 11

Unfortunately, the technique for rolling these is 2-handed. You hold a piece of dough between your palms, then roll it back and forth, letting it poo out of the bottom of your hands. Breadsticks inbound!

You can season these, too, if you want. Or maybe add sesame seeds. I'm limited by the contents of someone else's cupboard.

Here's my entry. Retarded plating, but sometimes you have to go big to win big.

> Spicy chili-cucumber ice lollies with garlicky "gazpatcho-ish" with a penis-shaped bread stick for decoration.

Coldest entry yet.

Yes, I think you're right.

>>9197834
i wish this webm had sound. XD

Why wouldnt you just use a standing blender or food processor?

>>9197921
I don't have one - I broke it trying to blend ice, and realised I was too retarded to spend big money on gadgets. If I explode the shitty hand blender, it hardly matters.

>>9197881
Remind me again, when's the cutoff for entries? I have an idea but might not be able to execute until Sunday.

I don't even know the word I'm looking for

>>9199156
Delicious?
Is that the word you're looking for?

>>9198590
The soup tasted quite fresh, with heat from the garlic, and the ice lollies were sweet and very hot. It was nice to have a contrast between temperature and taste in the ice. I only wish they were more solid - they melted too quickly, even though the soup was cold.

Overall, the two went very well together, and the plating got a laugh, too. At least the ice lollies are going into my regular repertoire

>>9200335

Getting ready to start my dish for the challenge: Ratatouille. I will be posting pics as I go along, just no trip code since I will be phone posting. Also, images might be Australian style (upside down) because my phone is retarded. I will post with the tripcode for my final presentation picture to be used in the challenge.

The rest of the veggies

>>9202904
Yeah I am a grad student and it's cheaper in terms of time and cost to buy preminced garlic. As for the red wine vinegar, it was $5 cheaper. I can live poor now for a better future now, or live better now for a poorer future tomorrow.

Onions cooking and just added the garlic

i use garlic cloves/a garlic press for special occasions, but for everyday cooking, i just go with the minced garlic in a jar.

Bell peppers in now

>>9202951
Not him, but I've a pair of questions: how much does the jar of preminced garlic cost? And how much does it weight?
I ask cuz the average head of garlic, with inedible bits removed, weighs 60g, which is a little over 2oz. Where I live, they're sold loose for 50¢ each or five heads for $1 at most Asian supermarkets. Aldi also sells them. There, 89¢ nets you three heads. So going with Aldi's price, that's $2.25/lb for fresh garlic and the Asian stores would be about $1.52/lb.
>chopping garlic is time consuming and/or difficult
All of my what?
Just wack it with the flat of your knife, remove the skin and mince the pulp. The whole process takes literally 8 seconds per clove if you're particularly slow at it. I can do it in about 3 seconds per.
I only suggest cuz if the jar is substantially cheaper, I'd say go for it. But if they're comparable in cost, use fresh. The jar has this odd, chemical-y taste to it due to whatever preservative they've used.

>>9203081
>how much does the jar of preminced garlic cost? And how much does it weight?
The jar in >>9202771 was 4.99USD and weighs 900g.
>The whole process takes literally 8 seconds per clove if you're particularly slow at it.
Right. My wife and I are both grad students. When we come home we need to study and make time for the kids. Grabbing a spoonful of garlic while dogs and kids run around is much easier than doing it the knife way. If we need to make something special we will do as >>9203027 does. Also, cooking gives us time to catch up on our days.

Thanks for asking while not being a cunt.

Cheers mate!

>>9203145
Hey, you do you, boo.

If you like (or don't mind) the taste and are okay with the price, that's all that matters, I guess.
>thanking someone for having some basic civility
Right. This is 4chan.
Would you mind terribly were I to delete the post then re-post it with a few faggots, cucks and niggers added along with a smug anime face? Just a few more Pepe Points(TM) and Trump will build me my wall.

Made a court boullion for the skrimps. I was surprised at how much flavor it imparted. Also threw in lemon thyme and parsley from the herb garden.

The final dish. Shrimp with roasted mango cocktail sauce and a pico de gallo cucumber salad.

The shrimp was boiled in a court boullion, then chilled.

The cucumber salad is vegeti'd cucumbers with diced tomatoes, onion, avocado, and roasted serrano peppers, also lime juice and cilantro.

The sauce is a traditonal cocktail sauce and roasted mango pureed together.

Everything was chilled and delicious.

I used a vegetti, one of those as seen on TV things that turns vegetables like cucumbers and zucchini into spaghetti like strings. Trying to upload a picture but my network is screwy.

Well, you're not supposed to like it. It's supposed to be challenging. It's supposed to be Iron Chef tier "lol wut?". Any thing else would be "let's play" as opposed to "challenge".
It's meant to push you to do things that you wouldn't normally do.
There are cook along threads here that you can join in on and cook whatever you want.
I dunno , I'm kinda drunk and am texting shit.

Huh. I just made a green gazpacho with toasted paprika chickpeas. Should've documented it.
