Silly food descriptions

[bestguru]

I keep seeing your avatar, and I still can't figure it out. It looks like it could be a guy ralphing or trying to inhale a small chicken head first. Not sure which would be more disturbing

high labor, minimal return :rolleyes:

Hehe.

It's a picture of GREAT italian comedian from Naples, very active in the 50s-60s, nicknamed "Totò".

 

He is eating spaghettis with his hands.

I had to crop the pic to include it in the Avatar.

 

See : http://www.votantonio.sm/galleria/foto77.htm

I like the culinary description and ranks =)

Think someone asked last year for these to be changed regularly--I think we change it whenever we have a lot of time or get bored or Ben posts too much and requires another new rank.

 

Here are details:

 

0: snail porridge--snail porridge with jabugo ham on shaved fennel

 

10: roast foie gras--with almond fluid gel and cherry chamomile

 

50: sole veronique--sole veronique with pont-neuf potatoes

 

100: creme brulee--creme brulee with fire

 

250: mee pok--flat noodles with fish balls, meat balls, minced pork and seasoning

 

500: hainanese chicken rice--try it at your local restaurant

 

1000: chili crab--fresh crab in peranakan chilli sauce

 

1500: durian cake--durian mousse cake

 

2000: mom's dishes--served with sweet memories

 

2500: moet & chandon

 

3000: krug

 

3500: dom perignon

 

4000: inniskillin

 

4500: Aquafina

 

5000: Ben

 

5500: Bennier

 

6000: Benniest

[Double !]

I think the "Ben" dishes are cool (They're not real dishes, now, are they?) But who else has a declarative, a superlative, and a superior rating associated with his name? GO BEN!

 

 

That Mee Pok sounds interesting......

 

Another thing. Look at the criteria for Aquafina!!! What one has to do or accomplish these days just to get a drink of water.......................................

Mmmm thanks for the menu, I am looking forward to the hainanese chicken rice.

And make sure you floss and brush your teeth afterwards :rolleyes:

 

Cherdano, Hainanese chicken rice is ok but over-rated, in my view. Try Laksa which isn't on the bbo menu, and don't miss the Durian cake. If you can find the fruit, don't be afraid to try. It stinks to high heaven and tastes divine. ;)

Durian has an added advantage: it gets rid of all your house pests ;) Not allowed on aeroplanes or hotels in Asia.

 

Taking this thread seriously Dog.

K I have request:

 

Why the heck is a fruit known for dessert - stuck with a main course?! COME ON, I want mine to be the ONLY one with "key lime pie, of course". :-)

[slothy]

I had to check :-)

 

Gee, I hate Crab!!!

Luis, luis, luis....

 

I have always agreed with your post on BBF... Seems like you were the most reasonable person here... that is until this totally insane post. Hate crab???? Unbelievable.. some up to maryland and I will fix you some crab cakes that are out of this world.

 

Ben

I have to say Ben Luis, my monogamous life style (well only saying that in case a certain person reads this thread hee hee) makes me want to avoid crabs in Maryand or any other state.

 

PS As for Maryland chocolate chip cookies.....turn on the oven and bake them baby (sorry, in my Austin Powers persona now)

:) I post and post (ok, 84 is not one of the highest numbers of postings here...), and am still Sole Veronique. Enough *brrrbbbsss*, fish is bad for me. How much more is necessary to become Crema Catalan? :huh:

You can have my Nasi Lemak. I don't even know what it is; maybe I'm allergic to it.

Very nice, Roland! It is a coconutmilk-chilli-rice dish (or so), sometimes with fish, too....

But I want sweets, melting slowly on the tongue :D
