Black bean traditionalist tamales vs. white cheese revisionist tamales

[nerfhearder]

You need to go to the city of Chung King and order the chow mein. Their soy sauce is world renown.

One of the Food Network shows was in Japan once and did a whole episode on soy sauce. Can't remember which show. It was surprisingly entertaining and informative. No idea there were so many kinds.

Neci and her mad Mexican food knowledge are getting me hotter than a habanero under a broiler.

I do either.

Right now I was trying to find a copy of the Declaration of Independence online, but that was pretty stupid of me as those fuckers didn't even have the internet yet.

Then I was going to try to find a original copy Plato online but my fucking server does not have Latin....

Try using an ancient Greek plug-in.

I was wondering about the Latin thing. Seemed odd for a Greek guy to be using it but what do I know?

Maaaan, listen...Neci and her mad Mexican food knowledge are getting me hotter than eating a jar of Lan Chi black bean sauce with chili on Venus in the summertime.

In case you think I'm fucking around about that Lan Chi, I dare any o' y'all to take a good spoon scoop of that stuff and put it on the next thing you eat...you gonna be like

I've come to the conclusion that I've never had a tamale.

I wonder if that's an option around here. We're stating to get some hipster food truck action in the area, so maybe there...

In Sweden? Isn't the main food couscous and camel burgers now?

I know a guy in Florida who makes the most traditional Spanish rice. Florida use to be part of Spain you know? The recipe has been past down from generation to generation. Except instead of rice he uses potatoes. Very traditional....

Unless you where talking about Cognar.

Cognar makes you hot!?

Asian chili sauces makes tofu palatable. I sauté tofu in them. Turns out like a spicy canned corned beef.

Is Venus a food, a place or a sexual thing involved with your lover and hot sauce?

It's an honest question. Tried googling venus and didn't want to sift through the two millions answers.

I think he means the planet because it's so hot there.

If that is the answer I am so unknowing, miss the joke sometimes. DOH! Now I get it! Actually I don't mind being wrong that way. How do you know if you don't ask. It's better than wandering around pretending you know something you don't.

Defining Mexican food is like defining rock music. Tex Mex, New Mexican, and Taco Bell can all wave the flag but march to different drummers. It is the thing I miss most about being away from Denver. So many great places to eat.

Neci and I have talked Mexican food for years. She is not a bullshitter. I, on the other hand, am a bullshitter. I also make perfect green chili (Hatch and Habanero) that will kick you in the dingding. Full of flavor and heat. It may not be traditional but the only complaint I have ever had is there is too much heat.

Food evolves, like other important aspects of humanity like language and morality.

Imagine Italian food with no tomatoes for example.


My favourite is 'as American as Apple pie' which of course was brought to America,and brought to Europe by romans, and brought to Rome from Central Asia. Food flows and develops as do people. Our livestock have changed shape, our fruit and vegetables have changed shape, our carrots turned orange humans seek adventure and to recreate novelty within the confines of the familiar.

What is an original recipe for regional specialities can be hotly contested in the same village, even the same families! It has some value as a discussion because there is historical truth, but more, there is anthropological interest to me how we eat, how we seek this combination of new and old. Most importantly.....how does it taste?

I agree with all of this especially the how "does it taste?" Traditional or not, mom's tuna casserole is unfit for human consumption. Traditional, like rock music, can have so many meanings. I was commenting specifically on Mexican food. Traditional might not have been a good word choice. Regional would have been better. Denver is a melting pot. Mexicans, Californians, skiers, and Google. The cuisine is a reflection of the population.

Corporate food is everywhere. A Taco Bell taco here or there or anywhere tastes about the same. I am not talking about Taco Bell. I posted about making tamales a month ago. Traditional Christmas season food. There were no big changes in the recipe like the addition of white cheese that I was aware of. The preparation is as important as the ingredients. There is a place local to me today that puts almost no meat in the tamale. The mix is everything.

Would I try these white cheese revisionist tamales? Hell yeah! I would even share mine with Neci.

I had a vodka infused shrimp with black pepper appetizer. The shrimps were jumbo and I had a buzz going by the time the bread arrived.

And just two days ago, I was discussing proper temperature and humidity in traditional ice cellars to properly preserve and ferment bowhead whale meat There's a push to meet USDA standards for meat storage. And those standards do not make for good eats.

Are they trying to get the meat to break down a little bit? Kind of like you age steaks?
