I had some eggs recently from chickens raised on my friend's ranch.

It was if I had never had eggs in my life - the yolk was so silky smooth and had such a rich taste.

I believe I got hard just from eating those eggs :)

I took three dozen home with me, I am now spoiled.
 
i'm with you on that one, thor.

Actually, I find it appalling at how this guy takes care of his meat. That truck is in the Sunshine Tesoro gas station near my cabin. if that was my moose, there would be no hide on it and the quarters would be in cloth bags and look like a butcher cut them up.

I stopped reading at this line because I was laughing too hard.

I am going to split a grass pasture fed cow with him - can't wait for those steaks and other cuts :)
 
I always buy free range poultry products and have recently started buying free range pork and bacon.

Nearly all good quality beef and lamb are free range in NZ and to a lesser extent Australia (there is a lot of feed lot farming in Australia).

And the difference between real, hot smoked seafood vs dipped in yellow dye/flavouring shit is beyond words.

Am I a food snob? Hell, yes!
 
Oh my fucking God! Who would eat shit like that?

Srsly, there are soooo many people who don't actually know what the *smoking* process is in food terms. They think it's like, a flavouring. You know, smoke flavour, BBQ flavour, chilli flavour....
Sad, but true :eek:

I am smug. in my fridge there is a leg of lamb that was lovingly raised in a friend's garden. the chops I've already had were heavenly.
 
Every Christmas, my hams and kielbasy comes from a small pork farm. The Polish goodness is smoked using hickory with a smidge of applewood, the hams aged for a while - my cousins won't tell me unless I agree to work on the farm :eek:

What was it's name?
 
Mmm, I have wonderful childhood memories about Polish food cooked by my friends' Moms. Even the chicken gizzards were good.

I am a snob when it comes to certain Polish foods. Golabki/Gawumpki/Glumpki "recipe" that's been handed down through the years, originally coming to America in the early 1900s, does NOT have any sauce, since my great-grandmother never had a tomato in what's now Poland, and then never ate one, believing them poisonous. I won't eat them out if there is any type of sauce on them: It ruins the taste for me.

Also, when it comes to chrusciki, powdered sugar should be applied when they're warm AND when they're cool. There is no such thing as too much powdered sugar on them :p
 
Interesting, what was it about the egg that did that?

Was it hard boiled.. because you know how smooth a cold hard boiled egg is right? You know that sensation when you first slide it between your lips. I like that. Was that it?

Or was it soft.. So when you dip the small spoon into the egg and lift the yoke onto your tongue, it's so sweet and moist, heavenly..

See post four.

Next time I have some of my friend's ranch eggs I'll shoot a video and send it to you ;)
 
Love the story. I don't have a problem eating them without the sauce. When are you cooking? :D
