Ha  ;D Interesting...possibly the last place I would guess anyone would be if they had asked me.

Love this thread, it’s so triggerish. (Popcorn gif)

The aftermath.  If I was Falkie I’d just leave it for the roaches.

Oh no.  They are Pro's.  Average shmuck's not allowed.   It was a revolting thing to see..........

Not through the top hole on a skewer but I have made some the Indians like.  I figured it was time to start Indian cuisine now that I have people that can tell me if it is authentic or not.

They use a wide range of spices...some you would have to buy on the internet in order to obtain them...nice...naan yet?

Isn't any pub or cafe that serves "English Breakfast"? I guess that would be the closest thing...in the East, most traditional American diners are actually owned by a significant percentage of Greeks...why? I have no idea.

Yes, that's what we'd call a 'greasy spoon'. That's the closest but it's not all that close.

If we feel like dessert later...

Naan, roti, I even made dhosa.  There are a couple of Indian groceries here.  These are my staples

You passed over this detail, but I imagine the air must have been filled with the smell of puke. I don't imagine the contestants digested it all.

This can be kind of expensive to make but I really like it. Gluten free naan.

Interesting.  Dosa is basically crepes made from a fermented batter made of wet ground rice and lentils.  You might think about trying that.  There are recipes everywhere.  You can make it with a decent blender but do the rice and lentils separately.

I vacationed on the "Spanish Riviera" and discovered many English visitors and "English Breakfast" cafes. I didn't have any English Breakfast, as I was enjoying the regional Spanish cuisine.

Iberico ham may be the best food on the planet.

I learned the term "Reversal of Fortune" from the hype man. It's a disqualifier but none of the contestants had that issue during the contest. 
Perhaps afterwards they purge - there are some questions one doesn't really want to know the answer to.   I was more worried about the crowd.  Definitely some uneasiness there with a true potential for a complete disaster.

We have nothing that equates to  an American diner here. It's hopeless.


Up North some of the fish n chips places were like. Filled with drunks eating greasey food. There are were suspect steak houses in London and Glasgow that reminded me of Sizzlers but with Russian door men, and questionable meat. And likely mobsters in the back room discussing trafficking Serbian girls and Polish cleaners.

Apparently there is an "underground" in US for some Spanish ham because import rules over how traditionally prepared meats. There is some place, I forget, Brownsville? That exempted from rules due to grandfather or ex-post facto and can still make and sell barbacoa the 'real' way.

Chicken on the grill tonight.  Step 1:  Appropriate beverage.

Step 2:  Whole chicken.  You are an adult so you can choose if you want your cock constrained in a cage or roaming free.

Step 3:  Spatchcock the chicken.  Release your inner Jeffrey Dahmer and make that chicken flat.  I remove the keel bone along with the wishbone and spine for easier portioning later.

Step 4:  Grill The properly seasoned chicken.

Kinda begs the question as to what you consider properly seasoned chicken.  ;)

People, we have 5 senses! Indulge them when writing about food!! Be descriptive about smells, flavors, colors, etc. I'm not reading your vicarious food porn for nothing, you know?! ::)

I hope you didn't try to smuggle some in, or if you did you did not get caught.

Ha...might be worth the risk...these go for $400/$500 on Amazon for 10-12 pounds. I did smuggle in red and green szechuan peppercorns from China once...I'm in the trusted traveler program, so I just went through a biometric kiosk...but you could smell those things a mile away! ha...I thought I'd get caught, but I didn't... ;D

Salt and pepper at that point.  Normally I would brine the chicken in a salt, brown sugar and peppercorn brine but I did not have time.  After searing I moved it to indirect heat and basted in barbecue sauce.

Sauce you made yourself? If so would you share the recipe?
