FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

[deusavertat]

Any Jamaican NTers know a good curry shrimp recipe. I don't trust the ones I found online. I'm always skeptical of cooking ethnic food from online menus written cause I'm convinced they are all written by some random white woman.

You have to cook the powder first till it's dark then add whatever else. We call it "burn" but it's not really burnt. After that the prominent flavor should be the curry.

For chicken usually clean it first with vinegar (or anything else acidic/alcohol) so there's really no "blood" when cooked through. Cooks long enough where everything else cooks down and never have that issue.

For shrimp/seafood, a few diff approaches:

-**** it, depending on how lazy i am i just live with it
- "burn" the curry first (again don't really burn, just dark enough before an actual burnt taste kicks in)
-Add some grace fish tea, adds that seafood flavor
-squeeze some lime in towards the end, adds a quick kick of trick flavor
-Cook down some sacrificial shrimp first that will add the flavor, but clearly shrink. This is just for flavor. Sometimes i'll do the whole thing with shell, remove after all the flavors simmered then add shrimp
-last riskier one is quick cook in the hot oil, curry powder and garlic, remove, continue with broth, readd towards the end

depends on how I feel really.

I wonder what his lipid panel looked like after this. Chicken looks good though.

"Chicken Chest"

 

[heelsandeers]

Chicken chest is always funny to me

Birria last night

Big meh. Flavor lacking and shells so soggy they fell apart

Isn't chicken chest more accurate? Chicken don't have "breast glandular tissue", so it's just a chest.

 

[heelsandeers]

Probably. I’d support normalizing chicken chest

para bellum that eggplant parm looks LEGIT! I don't hit The Bronx other than Yankee games, but is that spot worth it?

Yep, either that one or Arthur Ave Fiasco in Little Italy are both great spots

Arthur Ave Fiasco is right across the street

Nobody knows anything clearly about DC

And that his cell phone camera is broken, so from time to time he has to use the neighbors to take photos of his food when he does decide to share it.

I don't blame DC keeping it low, too many losers in the shadows waiting to do harm.

Birria last night

Big meh. Flavor lacking and shells so soggy they fell apart

You can tell, my first thought was what is this lightskin chunky birria. I know it's a hot ticket item right now but this birria game not for everyone.

 

[rooster]

DC must of been super excited when NT introduced the sad face

Then boys didn’t even shred it up nice for you. Didn’t fry the tortilla long enough. Don’t go back to them.
