Something different
I'm just back from a meeting and I can't start reading a thread that already has 150+ answers.

So, I was thinking, next time we meet it should be somewhere with a kitchen and a table that we could use. And each of us could bring or cook our favourite dish. Just one, and just a little of it, enough for everyone to try, but not much more.

What would you cook? And where would you want to meet?

Alt Q: for those that don't like eating so much, how do you do it, eh? I'd like to know!!

I did on the first month
Food in Ecuador es not very good, so I didn't eat much. Not that I didn't like it, but there is only some ammount of dip fried pork and white rice that I can eat...

Then we went to PerĂº and... well... they know how to cook, those Peruvians. And Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina only have those "eat as much as you can" places, with the best meats I've ever tried, so... I ate a lot.

You can get sick
Properly sick. As we did, several times. There was far too much choice, and then, more and more meat kept coming, and the waiter would get sad if you didn't have more.

One of the restaurants we visited was like that but, instead of meat, pizza. 300 different types of pizza! And he looked so sad everytime we'd say no.

I made home made chips and a home made chorizo kiev last night, and it was GOOOD.
Why hasn't anyone invented Egg Yolk Sauce? It would be so good, you just squeeze it out the bottle and you've got egg yolk, maybe even heat it up to change consitancy. I've thought about this for years and years now, I'd be a rich man if I bought this to market. It'll be good for cooking too, enriching dishes. Add pamazam and BO-YA-KA-SHA, instant carbonara.

I would love to do a Food Bash, but they'd be arguements over oven tempratures. A few years ago I tried to oraganise a Picknick Bash, only Spackerman turned up, no one else did, not even me. I think I'd like to try doing that again, only with people showing up and stuff.

Then, go mental, add whatever you like.

Last night mine included sausages, onion, tomatoes, beef stock, sweetcorn, baked beans (a necessity), pasta, black pudding, a chilli spice mix, lea & perrins and a metric fuck ton of pepper.
