The **Now Eating** Thread

[pinkowl]

Somebody suggested a 'La Cuisine meet' at the last Christmas GD meet. Think it might have been freefaller. I think it's a good idea! My first cuisine suggestion would be Korean

I have never tried Korean food. I like Asian food though so as long as its not spicy I would be happy to try out

Breakfast today is some oranges and fresh pineapple! Need to eat something healthy as yesterdays pizza made me feel bit ill

Not all Korean food is spicy but a hell of a lot of it is...and delicious

 

[Freefaller]

If I could be there, I would as long as it's decent food haha not cainer making his homemade pizzas!

Next time I go to see my family in the Vosges we are SO meeting up - I die with envy every time I see your food pics on instagram!

Where do you get spaghetti squash from, never seen it in the flesh.

You can do it yourself using a spiralizer.

I think it's actually a specific variety of squash rather than the usual cutting up of a vegetable into noodle/etc shapes.

Oooooh.

Wow cool! Learn something new every day!

Benny, What oats do you use?

Just standard jumbo from any old supermarket.

Do love my spiralizer, very good for packing out spaghetti based dishes with courgette without adding a drastic amount of calories. 500g courgette is around 100 cals and makes a large bowl/good portion.

I did have a feeling it might be quite spicy. Its the only thing I dont eat as I am a little bit allergic I suppose to chilli. I can eat very very mild things but they burn my mouth for hours after so I decide not to if I can Like I dont eat any currys ever as even korma is way too spicy for me and makes my mouth burn! (I tried it once and got called whimp for drinking about 2l of water during and after eating it and saying how spicy it was)

Now I'm hungry and really fancy Korean food. Japchae, kimchi pancake and dakgangjeong.. Mmmmmmm *DROOOOOL*

Milk, cream or cheese (basically anything oily/fatty) will cool your mouth better than water. Just an FYI for next time

It's not all spicy so it's not like you couldn't eat any of it.

Gah..you're not making it any easier for me to resist getting tasty Korean lunch food

That fried chicken thing looks nice. I might try it at home but without the chilli paste

Going to make a Pasta tray bake for dinner tonight, going to put in some chicken and smoked bacon, not too much meat though as i want it to to remain a pasta dish, ive got some garlic bread to go with it.
anything else i should chuck in? or serve on the side? i was thinking maybe some sweetcorn

 

[Freefaller]

Dude - make your own carbonara sauce - it's so easy! Those pre-made things are so loaded with sugars and poor ingredients!

Get a whole red pepper and quickly char it sliced in a super hot pan then chuck it in.

You forgot the important bit FreeFaller, they taste like arse.
And yep so easy.
Fry dome garlic and Panetta or gardens in olive oil.
Cook pasta, mix into bacon.
Mix some eggs and greater parmesan together.
Then while the pasta is still piping hot, mix the egg through it. The pasta will cook the egg.
If you want it slightly more British mix equal amounts egg with cream together before mixing it through.

I've never found it here in the UK before, there must be places that sell it.

It's annoying really want to try it.
I also love gem squash, but never see them anymore either.

Should have went to McDonalds, Cainer

Seems a bit harsh giving him grief when he posts something that isn't take away

aside from sauce hate. Bacon. The answer is ALWAYS BACON.

Cheers man, just checking it wasn't anything special Do you mainly use the oats to up your carbs or?

I have that spiralizer too and use it for exactly that. They're a really good source of bulking for a lot less kcal outlay.
Sweet potatoes spiralled are good done in the oven too
