Inspire by Chris' thread (http://www.ninjette.net/forums/showthread.php?p=40189#post40189), I thought it would be interesting to see what others eat. Being that we are a growing community, I'm sure the diverse geographic, as well as ethic make up of our forum should provide a real diversity of foods.

So post up what you happen to be eating tonight or whatever you feel would interest others. Only one rule, it has to be a picture of what you are eating and not something from a setting somewhere else on the net.

It can be your favorite meal, snack, dishes, desserts anything that you might want to share with your fellow ninjette members.

yum... almost dinner time... gotta go see what we're having. :drool:

I had chinese for lunch, skipped dinner. Beef with broccoli, wonton soup and steamed rice.

lol... the picture is supposed to be of what you ate... did you eat fido? :lol:

Good idea.

I had some bacon. :D

Chinese. Can't be for sure what was in it. We are missing a block dog though...

well, that is an unusual and diverse menu. :D

She ate dog Adobo.:eek:

In all seriousness, has anyone had dog? I've had lots of stuff, but never dog that I can recall. What's it like?

I was going to say when I saw the picture, you have Korean in your family?
Some restaurants in Korea serve dogs.
Now, before you say anything...

1. It's really ancient recipe.
2. Not many people eat it.
3. There are two different kinds of dogs in Korea. One as a pet, and other as food.

And no. I've never had em.

We picked up dinner tonight. Ahhh... local plate lunches! :)

burp... I'm full! :D


what's on your table?? :confused:

I've just eaten dinner, but I have no picture. I ate rice with pork and eggs, followed by a cabbage broth/soup thing.

And yes I have eaten dog, coming from a Vietnamese background we tend to almost eat anything, I've eaten many weird things on my trip back to Vietnam. Including snake, snake heart, rat, dog, sheep brain, lizard, crocodile, and deep fried insects.

You only live once, so I ate every weird thing I could get my hands on.

So what does dog taste like?

I had home made yaki soba with tofu and some pan fried gyoza... :yumyum:

Depends how its been cooked, I had it slowly braised with like lots of spices and seasoning, so to me it just tasted like any other red meat, but closer to deer meat but more tender. But goddam, it was de-li-cious!

So what does dog taste like?


Better than CAT that is for sure!!!!

usually every other friday night (lastnight!) wife and i go to this one place for 'local kine' grinds. it's a chinese place...a LOCAL chinese place.
i had the 3 choice with noodles, sweet/sour spare ribs, yakitori chicken, and pork hash (the stuff in won-ton)

oh-yeah-you! :hungry:

I would love to have some actual Japanese, Thai or Chinese food. The south has some good mashed taters and meatloaf but we can't do oriental. Oh man, I about forgot Jambalaya. It's just different when a Cajun makes it. So good....

My wife and I just got back from a dinner at one of the local Indian restaurants. I had braised lamb, vegetables, and rice (Malai Kabab) and my wife had lamb in a stew and rice (Saag), some naan bread, and a nice bottle of Argentinean Cab. Tasty - sorry no pictures.

The $3 chicken, steamed rice with black beans, seaweed, kimchi.

<in my best Homer voice> oooo, kimchee! :drool:
http://eat.tanspace.com/photos/Korea_House-kimchee.jpg

Man! All that food sounds amazing! I had to work tonight, so I got a double-cheeseburger, chili-cheese fries, and some ice cream from work. I swear! If I keep up like this I'll be 300lbs the day after my metabolism dissappears. But for now, I can burn it off sitting on the couch, much less all the stuff I do. :D

We had thai tonight yum!! pad thai and cashew chicken.. brown rice and dragon green tea..


I just about lost it looking at that kimchee... aquired taste that is..YUM!

Woo, having a noodle stir fry tonight! Mums cooking it soon, can't wait I'm starving!

ooo, ooo... take a picture!! your mum will think you are nuts (she could be right), but tell her you're sharing her cooking with the rest of us around the world! :D

Okay will do. I'll probably try my best to make it look nice and neat!

Thanks, mate!! :thumbup:

Here you go, my mum's noodle stir-fry. It had prawns, some type of mushrooms, and broccoli. Nothing special as she didn't go shopping, just used stuff we already had.

Tasted yummmmmy! :thumbup:

Looks yummy, Mike. :drool:

The extra ingredient that made it taste like magic is the love she sprinkled it with when she was cooking. You are a lucky man.

Hope you gave her a big hug and a kiss for whipping something like that up for you. If not... "Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200."

Never overlook your greatest gifts.
:)

sniff, sniff... mmmmm, do I smell lobster coming up next??? :D

Kelly - do pictures before cooking count? We were at our fish monger yesterday getting the fixings for tonight ciopinno dinner and he had an awesome lobster claw in the freezer. If you could guess the weight within 0.1 lbs it was yours.

I guessed 2.3 and it was 2.25 - yuuuuuum. I figure a pound of butter should do it. :D

http://www.ninjette.org/forums/picture.php?albumid=56&pictureid=997

:eek:... now THAT's lobster!! :lol:

I'll try to remember to get a picture of the ciopinno dish tonight.

That claw is HUGE!!!!!

Cooking is def. one of my passions. Lets see tonight I made grilled spaghetti with steamed meatballs with a bbq tomato sauce. Very tasty but tomorrow I gotta hit the gym nice and hard...the sauce alone had 1 pound of smoked applewood bacon in it...and yes I smoked it myself. You would be amazed how many of my neighbors I have met at my school from just people walking down my street and smell me cooking dinner. Guess what I cook is better than their ramen :p I find the key to cooking is using as much fresh ingredients as you can. I think I'm the only kid at Rutgers who grows his own rosemary,basil,sage,parsley, and cilantro. And no I'm not a dork I just love food :)

Heres a link to the recipe if interested http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/michael-chiarello/grilled-spaghetti-recipe/index.html

Wow, look at that claw - imagine the beast that it was attached to. Must have been the size of a hippo!

Speaking of that, shouldn't OG be done with dinner yet??

Where's pics of the cioppino?? :confused:

Here you go food critics.

First saute some onion and garlic in olive oil, add a few spices.
http://www.ninjette.org/forums/picture.php?albumid=56&pictureid=1008

Add a large can of plum tomatoes, cup of clam juice, and some white wine and simmer. The longer the better but 30 min will do if you're in a hurry.

Have your fish ready to go.

While the crab is in the pot, add the halibut first, then the shrimp, and and the very end the scallops. I cut the crab up after it was cooked and added to the rest to get the flavor in.

So what does dog taste like?

its purplish looking and tastes like beef but umm, also like shredded pork? ieno, but my uncle told me it is a high density meat and told me that was the exact reason why dog sledders chose dogs :p

mmm,yum. Chef Ramsey watch your back, OG is in the houseeeeee!

Also, its weird that you guys call it shrimp, over here we call it prawns
well, we have shrimp and prawns. prawns are kind of between shrimp and crayfish (crawfish).

Never heard of a crayfish or crawfish :)

Tonight I had Ramen with some salmon mixed in.

Cheap and tasty with some good brain food in there as well.

put a bowl of rice in the soup when I was done with the noodles.

Had a 1/4 spicey chicken, rice, steamed beans.

Black Tie Mousse Cake for dessert. I made this cake. So amazingly delicious. It takes awhile to make, but it is so worth it! It's like biting into a piece of heaven. Yummy! :D

It has a cake bottom, then custard, then mousse, then a dark chocolate ganache, with white chocolate rippled across.

Wow, aren't you a talented cook - that looks delicious!!

:) Hehe... thanks. I love to make cakes.

wow... dinner and dessert!!! thanks!! :drool:

We had our Easter dinner tonight, because we're going to see family tomorrow.

Stuffed.

Well guys, Easter. What did we have?

Sorry no pics, but we had an Easter brunch buffet and then Easter dinner at my Nana's.

Baked ham, mashed potatoes, green beans, creamed corn, rolls, fried okra, deviled eggs. For desert there was chocolate and regular cheesecake and strawberry pie(ish...).

No pics either, for Easter lunch we roast lamb, with roast potatoes and all the usual sides. For dessert we had some chocolate pudding.

wow, definitely want to try roast lamb!
actually, I want to go visit Australia and NZ...

You've never tried lamb? Its the best red meat ever!

And you should swim over to Australia, its only 12,000 kms?

Alright, we can meet half way!

Lamb is pretty great. You defintately need to get ahold of some of it. I like gyro on pita with lamb. So good. There's a great place in Florida called Mr. Slavaki's (sp?). There's also a new place nearby I've been meaning to check out called Vinny & Me.

ohhhhhhh, I think I had the gyro before, but never a roast!
I did have a duck roast before, but it came out just ok.

Duck is a little greasy to me.

Alright, we can meet half way!

Okay lets do this, let me get my swim suit! See you at the midpoint in 15min.

Talking about Oceans, the US Navy did a great job in rescuing the American Captain of the ship.

hahaha, is there a plane picking us up James Bond style at the midpoint?

Snipers!

James Bond is picking us up himself, with a whole heap of Bond Girls :p

hahaha. woot!

Hey, I've got a boat. I feel an adventure coming on!!! lol

That would be awesome, you can take James Bond while Chris and I take the Bond Girls :)

hahaha, we just might make a boat kit for the ninja to float!

That would be awesome, you can take James Bond while Chris and I take the Bond Girls :)

For some reason I think I'd win out on that one.

Didn't someone make a quad out of a Ninjette? Ninjette-ski...

lol... the picture is supposed to be of what you ate... did you eat fido? :lol:

Was that Korean?

Had steak with steamed beans, and roast potatoes for dinner!

:bump:

come on, where are those pics. Make me hungry!

I have gallstones, so I have to avoid eating fatty or fried foods - or I get gallbladder attacks (feels like a heart attack in the wrong place). Today I had a salad of tossed greens with grilled turkey slices and dried cranberries on top. It was pretty tasty.

homemade pizza... sort of... :D

I don't have pics, since supper was an impromptu affair. But get your mind around this:
Chuck roast cut into strips, slowly simmered in teriyaki marinade with stewed tomatoes and julienne-d lettuce. All this in a buttered toasted tortilla topped with fresh lettuce.

It's like a baby lobster. Lobstette, if you will.

The actual term for small lobster is canner which is fished in the maritimes in canada. If i remember correctly maine only fishes Market (bigger lobster). I work at the lobster plant and the crab plant. We have a steel measure thingy that we use to measure the body of the lobster to determine if its a canner or market or too small and should be put back in the ocean. My uncles are also lobster fisherman.

No pictures, but an old family favourite, zuurkool(I'm Dutch-American). It's basically fermented cabbage(homemade sauerkraut) mashed with potatoes. Also had eggrolls. Yay, eggrolls.

it's what's for dinner.
