Why didn't you say it was jerky? There's also a chili named for fresno, that I managed to grow. It's pretty much just a jalapeno but upside down. Too hot to make salsa for everyone, so I got it all to myself.

 

[BehindtheShadow]

Yes indeed its what you call jerky - ask cduggles how goooood our biltong is!!!! I like salsa but have to admit I am feeling for some nachos today

 

[cduggles]

I have consumed both jerky and biltong. Biltong is much better methinks. And yes I've had smokehouse jerky... biltong is just AWESOME! :D

 

[BehindtheShadow]

cduggles did you ever try our Mrs Balls Chutney? Its the best

 

[cduggles]

Yes yes! I learned to love chutney in SA. I had Mrs Balls Original Recipe, Jalape?o and Peach chutneys. I was surprised at how much I liked the fruit flavors.

 

[BehindtheShadow]

Yes indeed its fruity - another SA classic tomato sauce flavoured chips

 

[JahSEEuS]

In Canada they just call 'em ketchup flavoured.

 

[cduggles]

It's all about context

 

[fabriclondon]

All this food talk has me craving a million different things. I would love some Pho from this awesome little place in the University City section of Philly. That is one great thing about big cities....FOOOOOOD!!!

 

[BehindtheShadow]

I don't know what Pho is, it sounds Chinese and if that's the case sweet n sour pork

 

[Scrofula]

Vietnamese soup, the best thing out there. Rice noodles in clear broth, some fatty meat usually, random veg. But it's the broth what does it. Then again I add a half bottle of Tabasco.

Thai food wins for me, at least the Americanized version. Too embarrassed to order the pad Thai, but I'm getting better at making it.

 

[BehindtheShadow]

@Scrofula agree with you about Thai food especially the Thai fried noodles with chicken - just to die for!

 

[Speed King]

I wonder if there is a way to make healthy deep fried foods because the oil is heart healthy.

 

[BehindtheShadow]

You can if you use olive oil instead of sunflower oil

 

[Erikmen]

Not when you heat it, as it becomes saturated fat. ?It could be extra virgin olive oil- once heated, not the same anymore.

 

[Scrofula]

I'm pretty sure mono- and polyunsaturated fats remain that way after heating, unless you burn them. A way to tell is by melting point. Saturated fats are solid at room temperature; the monounsaturated in olive oil will set in the fridge, and I don't know how low polyunsaturated fats can go.

But saturated fat isn't all that bad. And without it you couldn't have coconut milk, and thus Thai food.

It's why food vendors like trans fats--it's refined to melt around mouth temperature.

It's fish that have weird fat--supposedly healthy and found nowhere else.

 

[Erikmen]

That’s right my friend. I really like coconut milk, same as coconut water or cream. Not to mention its ?ice cream.

 

[BehindtheShadow]

yummy ice cream my favourite has to be chocolate chip

 

[Erikmen]

To every chocolate ice cream! Especially chocolate with almonds!

 

[BehindtheShadow]

Sounds good but I have to admit if I am going to eat nuts I like my pistachios
