What kind of meat (or cheese) is it?

[scarface]

Tonight, I'm presenting the dish that I'm going to prepare tonight.

Look carefully at the photos below.



Here you can see a piece of pork belly and some potatoes.

And here is the final result after being boiled:


Actually I sliced the potatoes to add butter. The most insightful users will probably notice that the skin was left on the potatoes: It's because it contains a lot of vitamins.
The beverage is a mere cola: I knew shadow.97 would criticize me if a bottle of wine was present on the table. And to be honest with you, it paired quite well with the pork belly and the potatoes. What's more I have to work tomorrow so I won't be "prout-prout" - even if this is the day enjoined by God (not everywhere I think, it might be Friday in the Muslim countries?)
But, to put it bluntly, the pork meat doesn't have the complexity and the taste of oysters or foie gras.
Instead of a cola, I guess humbert, Guliver and Maher would rather have their oysters with a good bottle of white wine, for instance, a Château d'Yquem, which pairs best with Foie Gras, Roquefort Cheese and Shellfish. At least I would.


Note that in French, the word "patate" is a 'colloquial' way of referring to potato.
The true word for potatoes is 'pommes de terre'.
'Patate' is originally only for sweet potatoes and some other species of 'tubercules' but not for potatoes.

If 'Patate' is used colloquially for potatoes in French, it can also mean a lot of different thing. It means :
- Potatoes
- 10,000 francs
- a lot of energy in the expressions "j'ai la patate" or "envoie la patate"

If humbert, Vasudev or Maher have watched the funny movie "les 3 frères", they are usually talking about the "100 patates" they are going to inherit (to no avail). I remind you that it's available here with English subtitles:

Tonight, I'm going to present a dessert.

Look carefully at the photo below.




What is it? Maybe some of you have the answer. Would you share such a dessert with me?

... Cheese and brown baguette? 


Ps; just clarifying, i have nothing against the wine drinking or alcohol. It was just a joke.

Been quite busy since moving into an appartment.

Foodwise I've started drinking lots of my food instead of eating. There's liquid food replacements. I'm sure all of you normal food eaters would be confused what this could be. If it's any good and why on earth anyone would consume such a thing!

Truth is.
I eat to survive usually, not because im very fond of the food.
I find food to be a huge waste of time, boring, energy consuming and often expensive for what you get in return. And coming up with food all the time sucks, worrying about food expiring, having to throw it out etc.

eatmetta (dot) com
was my selection as it claims to be somewhat local.
I use it mostly as a supplement or addition. But when I truly dont want to make any food I take that only.

My diet as of late is 2 slices of bread with extra salted butter and cheese or ham. At noon, rice, meatballs, or sausage and then one fruit before noon and one after noon. In the evening usually two slices of bread again with ham/cheese.

Seeing Scars food makes me very curious. Looks delicious.  Pork belly and potatoes remind me of something I'd eat at grandmas place on a weekend with some more veggies.


What are your guys opinion on elk/moose, deer, rabbit meats like it?
I currently have smoked deer meat to have on my sandwich. Delicious.

... Cheese and brown baguette? 

Well, actually I think you know this cheese, it's a slab of creamy Gorgonzola. Gorgonzola is a premium blue cheese with texture veins and a creamy, buttery mouthfeel. The piece of bread is not a mere baguette (they are longer and thinner) but some farmhouse bread filled with walnuts. As for the beverage, it's a fine claret (Bordeaux).

Well, I don't get bored in front of a good meal, quite the contrary. Actually I wouldn't expect you to jump frantically on your chair if you were in front of me, but a cuisine of this caliber would surely lift your spirits to the highest culinary skies.

There is not much liquid to me.

I'm trying to stay young in my head. It's not easy.

In France practically all farmed rabbits are kept in cages (It's certainly different in Sweden). Sometimes, they are injured, piled on top of each other and living in a space only slightly bigger than an A5 piece of paper. So I'm trying to avoid rabbit meat (hopefully it's a bitter better for pigs or fish). As for deer meat, I only tried one time, it's good indeed (you have to know a hunter to find that).

My sentiments exactly. I eat because I have no choice. If it were up to me I wouldn't eat at all. All I need to do is find myself another power source.

Hey Shadow: What are those liquid foods you keep mentioning? I only know about one called Boost, which tastes disgusting. Which ones do you use? Do you drink them every day? Hopefully I can follow your lead.

It's truly sad that none of us will probably live to see the day that the enslavement of non-human animals comes to an end. They are sentient beings just as much as we are. Some have abilities that we can only dream of.
