>Macaroni and Herb Crusted Fried Chicken with Macaroni and Sun Dried Tomatoes in a Sharp Cheddar Pepper Jack Cheese Sauce. Macaroni and dried tomatoes are both homemade. I wanted a twist of irony, so I used ground up Blue Box Mac'n'cheese noodles instead of breadcrumbs for the fried chicken.

Please don't. I don't have moderator power so I can't enforce it, but please try not to egg on a flame war. The challenge is mostly for fun and bragging rights and filling yet an other thread with pointless fighting is a waste of time and energy.

>>7512473
You're still drunk, BubbleBurst! This dish is steamed trout with onions and congee. I was just mentioning poached trout and lamb shoulder when I was describing my childhood foods.

>>7512469
Here's the vertical/inside of chicken if anybody uses that kinda stuff for their judging. also, here's the backstory as well
>Backstory: My mom really sucked at cooking, so bad, in middle/high school, I started just eating popcorn for supper instead of her cooking. As a kid, the only thing she cooked that I really enjoyed was blue box mac'n'cheese and fried chicken nuggets with an ungodly amount of ketchup. I ate this at least once every week. I always got mad when the ketchup got mixed up in my mac'n'cheese, so I added the sun dried tomatoes (actually oven dried) kind of in spite of my younger self

Happy Easter everyone! Hope your day is lovely. I'm enjoying it with soda (given up for lent) and a full pack of Reese's eggs

My childhood involved a good deal of running around. From home, to my grandparents, to school, back to my grandparents, and back home. It didn't leave a lot of time for family meals due to time constraints, but it did leave some time for some deliciously lazy meals like corndogs and mac! So that's what I'm presenting, with the twist of encompassing more adult and risque flavors into the meal.

My dish was a Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin Corndog Bites with a Radish-Honey Mustard and Raspberry Ketchup condiment, and a side of Crab Mac 'n Cheese made with a nine month aged Cheddar and Smoked Gruyere.

Vertical to follow.

>>7512516

Vertical.

You've done it. This is what the category theme should result in. An adult take on a childhood favourite.

Thomas and his lying has put people off, he ruined the spirit of the competition when he stooped to that level.

Go to bed Thomas.

>>7513156
wtf as a kid and knowing other kids now kids hated good bbq. You'd make them a sausage hotdog and even that was a bitch and a half to get them to sit and eat.

Though cold be that any kids at a bbq are gonna wanna run around and play so there's nothing you could get them to sit and eat unless it's candy.

>>7513182
Sauce?

Anyone else think Lyin' Tom should apologize and quit this years competition?

alright imma give a sob story so im sure this can only go well lol

My entry is chicken paprikash, a Hungarian dish similar to chicken and dumplings but better. I was going to do a pot roast or something that my mom would make but my father wasnt around much and when i would spend time with him he'd make one of 2 thing, chicken paprikash or leg of lamb, i am not rich so chicken it was. My dad died around 3 years ago and this is kind of a tribute to him i guess. Not looking for pity votes and if you dont believe the story tough shit, when i tasted this it reminded me of being at an old farm house in butt fuck nowhere missourri where i first had it.

had a few friends over, got hammered and made this
no family recipe yet i just looked at like 10 recipes and made my own recipe kinda

chicken paprikash with 2 kinds of paprika, homegrown habenaro for an extra kick, dumplings from scratch with a salad mad from some kind of nice lettuce my friend grows hydroponically and a balsamic vinaigrette i whipped up, i would never touch salad as a kid so i thought it was fitting

not a lot of ways to plate it but it was delicious both my friends loved it, alright fuck my shit up

If that's how this goes then anything with salad, kale, lettuce, etc gets 1/20 from me

>>7513254
You're an idiot. I was saying something like 1 point off, not 19.

>>7513246
That's not how it is lady pistol. In Thomas's situation, he was planning on making chicken and veg for dinner that night. So he literally thought, 'I know, i'll make up a story about how my grams used to make this for me and let me eat all the crispy skin, those suckers will lap it up'. Then it was confirmed fake and backfired on him, and he started lashing out and insulting people. It was a disgrace all around.

Your story is touching and obviously real and your dish looks really good, i'm hungry as fuck now. Will rate later.

>>7512458

Come on Bubble, at least give the full description of what I prepared. The second sentence literally states that nothing I prepared is as basic as it sounds in the little bit you quoted.

Here's the rest of my description, plus vertical,

"However, nothing is exactly what it seems… except for the apple, which is just an apple.

The “peanut butter” is homemade cashew butter, with tahini and coarse sea salt. The jelly is homemade blackberry jam, seasoned with a sort of Middle Eastern spice blend (call it a makeshift Baharat). The bread is a locally made boule, buttered and fried, with the crust cut off.

The “bumps on a log” are whisky macerated raisins on baby spinach leaves. The potato chips are freshly made kettle chips tossed in shichimi and topped with freshly cracked sansho pepper.

It’s sort of a conceptual piece. You are the apple bunny rabbit in the center (it was supposed to have carrot stick legs, so go Hook and use your imagination), and you can go in three different directions.

Behind it is bunny poop on lily pads, which she can wrap up and eat in single bites.

The trail on her left leads to the chips. If you’ve never had decent sansho pepper, it’s sort of like putting a 9 volt battery to your tongue, and always reminded me of going to the children’s science museum growing up, which was the idea behind using it.

The trail on the right leads to the grilled cashew butter and blackberry jam sandwich, with some seemingly out of place flavors added. It’s served on a bed of fresh arugula, which is there to catch any of the hot fillings that might ooze out, and add a peppery bite.

The idea is to have fun with it, while still enjoying grown up flavors."

>>7513265
>Come on Bubble

Keep it civil please.

>>7513184

>i hated cornbread as a kid

So did I, and I thought I was the only one.

Everything looks good, though, and the fact that I think cornbread is the most overrated food on the planet isn't going to affect my score at all.

>>7513184
>lowering appeal based on what you personally dont like

immature way of looking at it, but okay

My submission for this round. You might think it just looks like a roast chicken dinner, but you couldn’t be more wrong.
My grandmother would always make this meal for me. She called it ‘magic chicken’, and every time she made it for me she told me about how it would help me get through anything in life; how it would help me become strong. I didn’t discover the significance until later. . .
During the Holocaust my grandmother had seen her father beaten and hung in the town square in a small village in Poland. She and her mother were able to escape by hiding in the wine cellar of a wealthy landowner. He provided them with food and a small oven in exchange for sexual favours from my grandma and her mother (my great grandmother). My grandma would tell me about how whenever they made the roast chicken her mom would tell her that she was going to be alright; that she was going to grow big and strong and escape that place. Eventually exactly that happened.
I remember when I was 12 my grandmother came to live with us. She was very old and she was dying. I didn’t want her to go. So one day, for the first time, I decided to make her ‘Magic Chicken’ to help her get better. I made it all by myself. She ate the whole plate, and looked at me with a tear in her eye.
“This will make me strong for heaven” she said with a sweet smile. That night she passed.
I haven’t made that dish again until now. I hope you enjoy it.

>LYIN' TOM CONFIRMED LIAR

No but seriously, thanks for your honesty Tom. What inspired you to pretend your grandma made you a whole chicken just so you could eat all the crispy skin?

>>7512516

Looks really good, and really well executed, Nack.

My only (very minor) criticism would be the choice of doing bacon wrapped pork tenderloin corndog style. Part of the appeal and simplicity of a corndog is the texture of the batter and the soft hotdog, and it seems like the bacon/pork would have too much of a bite to them.

Again, it looks great, just giving my two cents/first impressions.

>>7513369
welp

>>7513465

I appreciate that, and you're not entirely wrong. My original concept was to go a little more high end with a chateaubriand over the pork tenderloin because it would have been more tender. In fact, along that original concept I was planning to do mini-wellingtons "corndogs" instead of a more traditional corndog. I just got back from a weekend in LA though and the reserves are tapped until payday. It would have been really a fun night if I could have gotten some fillet steak, but we all make do with what we have.

>>7513506

>the reserves are tapped until payday

It seems like you're doing alright. You probably would have been voted down by some autist anyway if you'd gone with the more expensive beef.

>>7513369
Thomas, are you serious about dropping out? I need to know for the sake of updating scores.

>>7513545

He didn't use a name or trip before, and also signed his timestamp, "grom".

It's most likely not really him.

Ah, this round has been a nightmare..

>>7513545

Yeah it simply isn't worth it.

If people don't want me to participate then so be it.

>>7513677
Alright. It didn't personally matter to me if you lied, but I see why it upset some people.

I can't tell, but it's pretty fishy that he goes from posting the food he did, ranting about not eating shitty processed foods, and then shows up in a fast food thread...

>>7513780

>>7513815
If he lied about his grandma, why wouldn't he lie about not eating shitty foods?

Yeah this could just be a continued troll. I'd let it continue in counting. You'll see if it's a real quitting kinda troll if he doesn't enter next round.

>>7513677

i have a real swell idea guys, how about anyone not here to just troll shuts the fuck up, like seriously unless you are voting or something just shut the fuck up, i know its hard but trolls only care about reactions from idiots and it appears this thread is full of both trolls and idiots.

A higher shot so that we could see the food would have been nice but this is probably my favourite dish this round. The colours look really nice and this is a dish I'd like to make.

>>7513265
Take it easy on Bubble. This takes a lot of work and its particularly worse this year.

Morning bump.

Not gonna lie guys, when me and my brother were little we loved us some McDonald's. We were only allowed to go there when we were going on a holiday, so besides tasting great it also served as a prelude to the coming holiday.

So, naturally, I went out to buy a happy meal, ate it, and rebuilt it again from scratch. It was a fun exercise, first time baking bread as well.

And yeah the presentation is kinda wank, but it's McDonald's, what can you do

>this takes a lot of work and its particularly worse this year

I understand and appreciate that, but the contestants are also putting in a lot of work.

The way she presented that entry was basically the same as if she edited studentfag's entry to say that he went to McDonald's and bought a happy meal, leaving out the part where he explains that everything is homemade, and it was voted based on that.

>>7515115
Well, whaddya know, you are suddenly perfectly equipped to start your own burger franchise.

Or well, a shack, at least. Also, the story takes me back to my childhood. We'd always go to McDonalds the day summer vacation started, on our way to the summer cabin or other nonsense.

>>7515198
Do you feel giving such a vague description of your efforts will effect your scores and takes away from the effort you put into the ideas?

>>7515217

Well, the first reply to it in the thread called it garbage, unlike another entry that was, "an adult take on a childhood favourite", even though that's exactly what it is if they'd read the full description.

>>7515248
Hey I agree with you man, you put a lot of effort into it

Chicken paprika that my mum used to make for me for my special birthday meal

>>7515263

Thanks. I don't mean to stir more shit up after everything, I just didn't think "come on Bubble" was anything that harsh, and certainly didn't mean it that way.

The ingredients that I used because I'm too lazy to lern to vertical

Tomatoes, chicken, chicken stock, hot and sweet paprika, sour cream, onion, garlic and green pepper

>>7515282
Well yeah, context is pretty essential in this round. I'd 100% say that description would effect your scores if it's all people saw.

the little one is a blueberry "gusher" filled with lemon basil simple syrup and the stack from top to bottom is blueberry, mango raspberry, blueberry, and strawberry.

Oh, this is interesting. I would definitely like to try the gusher but I'm wary that the gummies might be too sweet (especially as a lot more sugar is used when paired with limes and lemons in my experience).

Someone didn't have a good childhood

Samoa brownies

Based on my favorite childhood cookie, the Samoa, and my favorite childhood dessert, brownies.

>>7515743
How the fuck did you rate >>7515280 this pile of shit higher than mine? He clearly put 0 effort into that. Troll scores shouldnt be counted.

>>7515767

It's called vote fixing. Voting down other dishes besides their own to give them a score advantage.

>>7515765
No vertical this round because I made it at my mother's house(because Easter), but I included a shot in the pan so you know I cooked it.

The recipe is your basic chocolate brownies with caramel, topped with more caramel, coconut, and more chocolate.

>>7515772
>but I included a shot in the pan so you know I cooked it.

Sounds more like your mother did to me.

I quite like the idea of this brownie. Why is the chocolate so messy? How did you heat it? Or is it the way you spread it over the brownie. Either way, I'd like to try it. I think a cookie layer would have been fun as well, maybe like a cheesecake crust.

>>7515797
I'm sorry to hear that anon. I think that's why Thomas's made up story about his sick grandma rubbed up so many people the wrong way, there are actually people with family they care about who suffer from health problems, and when he exploits that for points in a competition.. yeah.

>>7515771

>it's called vote fixing

Or maybe people are just annoyed with him submitting whatever he happened to make that night and then linking to his blog.

where's bubbles when you need her? things cant go on like this

>>7515800

Only matters when people can be held accountable. This is anonymous, so it comes down to self integrity over anything else.

>>7515800
>Why is the chocolate so messy?
I started off by trying to do the chocolate stripes like on the actual cookies, but I failed terribly because my only tools were a wisk and a spoon. So I just ended up spreading it on top.

>How did you heat it?
350 for between 20 to 25 minutes. The coconut was toasted in the oven beforehand.

>I think a cookie layer would have been fun as well, maybe like a cheesecake crust
That sounds pretty good. I'll try it next time, thanks.

>>7515801
>I'm sorry to hear that anon
No problem man, it comes with old age.

>>7515806
What would she be able to do anyway? That's what's so infuriating.

>>7515822

She has no power to do much unfortunately. If this challenge were anything more then a fun way to fill the day and generate OC, it would be hosted on a website where she would have control over submissions and the ability to remove trolls. Maybe a section on her website for uploading and a voting function which is limited to one vote per entry per IP/Mac Address to limit vote manipulation.

>>7515826
What about corrupt scoring? I know Lyin' Tom has been caught score tampering a few times now to try to keep himself high up

>>7515832

Left to the discretion of the host.

We were kinda poor growing up. All of our meals revolved around plain rice, and an occasional add-on was chopped up hotdog omelette. Which is exactly what it sounds like; a hotdog bulked up with egg to make the meat go further.

On birthdays, I'd get an EXTRA HOTDOG. This was cause for celebration. Today I present to you a Deluxe 3-hotdog Omelette.

>>7515803
you referring to me son? cuz i get the impression you are referring to me. I was just having a bit of fun with this contest i did and do not plan on competing after this round

to all the people participating, most of yalls shit looks really good and good luck

to bubbles, sorry people are shitting all over your contest, i would suggest getting together a trusted voter committee next time

deuces

>>7515844
The egg contains a very generous helping of white pepper and a glug of soy sauce. I accidentally finished it before taking a shot of the inside but it was a nice creamy moist omelette. It was too lumpy to get that nice oval omelette shape unfortunately.

>>7515844
>I'd get an EXTRA HOTDOG

That's nothing senpai, Thomas's grams would cook him a whole chicken just so he'd get ALL the crispy skin to himself

(later confirmed to be a lie so you win by default)

That's so cool and creative! I really want to make a lychee peach one.

>>7515844

It sounds like you must have been really busy with other shit these past couple weeks, Borneo.

Still a nice looking omelette.

>>7515850

Not either of them, but you should really play around with agar agar if you never have before. You can do all sorts of interesting things.

>>7515853
>It sounds like you must have been really busy with other shit these past couple weeks, Borneo.
Ha yeah, I was planning to do more elaborate stuff with the hotdog but I've been crazy busy! It was a tasty hotdoggy omelette, legit recipe.

I've got a pack of the dried agar strands somewhere, I might bust it out for one of these rounds!

For some reason, this actually seems all right. I think some sort of side would have elevated it just a bit, even if it was just rice.

>>7515767
I made stock and I used the schmaltz from the chicken skin to sweat the veggies and I broke down and deboned the chicken and I passed the sauce twice. I fucked up plating first time around so I just plated what I had left.

Just because it doesn't look like some arty restaurant dish doesn't mean it's not good. I'd be much higher up if you could taste my food rather than just look at it.

>>7515871
I get what you're saying, Thomas could have submitted his dish with a real story and got decent scores, but he had to try to make an elaborate tale about his grandma up to steal some extra points. It was unnecessary to say the least.

Chances are it's the same troll making all these protests. Look at the number of 'posters' in this thread. 32 people to 180 posts. Looks a lot to me like it's just one or two salty sadsacks trying to ruin the fun for everyone else. Just ignore the unpleasantness and focus on the food!

>>7515952
Na he's right, the shitstorm started last thread when someone voted lowish scores for a meal and about 8 people jumped in immediately and lost their shit over it.

>>7515957

>when someone voted lowish scores

They gave 1/5 for challenge goals on a peanut butter and jelly and someone simply asked for an explanation.

>>7515964
Wasn't just peanut butter and jelly, it was also raisins on spinach leaves.

>>7515964
Someone? It was multiple people raging at him. I remember watching it happen.

>>7515968
and a small piece of apple, intricately carved into a misshapen blob and tossed onto the middle of a cutting board

I've been reporting all these Thomas trolls killing the threads. There's a minimum of 5 which was determined on being unable to report the same individual multiple times.

>>7516011

>determined on being unable to report the same individual multiple times

Did you get a warning or something? I've never heard of that.

Still, it should have already been obvious to everyone that it's mostly just one person.

>>7516021
didn't bubble say earlier in the thread somewhere that she understands why thomas's lying upset people?>>7513687

wow by the way things are going i can only imagine how exciting the elimination rounds will be!!...

seriously I'm not going to waste anymore money on this, it's turning into a giant joke, have fun guys.

sorry BubbleBurst but i vote you shut this shit down, it's honestly not worth all your effort at this point unless you could actually get some moderation in here but good luck with that.

>>7516111
At least have the courtesy to state your name if you're going to withdraw so she can update the rankings.

>>7516021

If you try and report the same individual twice you get a message saying that person has already been reported from your IP, obviously to prevent mod report queues being flooded.

>>7516129
no thanks I'm back to being anonymous, if a mod was to jump in and try to salvage this shitshow in the next day or so I'd possibly change my mind but I'm not holding my breath, im not a top contender anyways

>>7516167
Is it possible that as someone who isn't doing so well with scores, you were possibly looking for a way out?

>>7516178
I wasn't doing bad but there are some obviously better more creative cooks in this thread, I was never in it to win it. Honestly at this point it feels like a bunch people doing a cooking competition for an audience of trolls and like 2 people that actually give a shit, which honestly is a waste of time and money when you have to go buy ingredients for a themed dish. I'm just over it, I'm not easily trolled but it doesn't take a lot for me to lose interest.

>>7516196
I got really excited when I saw this thread, then I thought of pretty much everything you said and decided fuck it, I'll just watch and bake bread.

>>7516202

At work. Because I need to pay my utilities bill and mortage and stuff. So unless you have a winning lottery ticket you don't plan of claiming, I was at work.

>>7515816
It wasn't this bad in past years, sadly.

First time contributing/participating.
Great thread!

(not very photogenic)
Childhood Favorite:
Chicken (or Country) Fried Steak

Pretty simple. It was either this or Shit On a Shingle made with ground beef. Cooks my family were not.
Dad liked breakfast for dinner.

Steak:
Top sirloin, cubed/pounded
Flour seasoned with salt, pepper, paprika, mustard, garlic, onion
Oil for frying

Gravy:
Ground pork
Garlic
Sage
Chili flakes
S&P
MSG
Flour
Cream

Eggs. cooked.

>>7516563

What's the garnish?

Red bell pepper and fresh sage?

>>7516573
Aye.
Paprika and sage were both present in the food.

>>7516563
My issue with this is how do you eat it?

Due to the shape of the plate i'd imagine you would have to sort of awkwardly keep your forearms up at an angle and cut downwards like you're dissecting it.

Did you switch the plate after you took the picture?

>>7516596
There was plenty of plate space to move stuff around.

>>7516610
Can you explain why you didn't eat the eggs, and do you feel that should count against you? Did they not taste good? Are you saving them for later?

>>7516614
It was only a 5 ounce steak (total weight),
but with the flour and the heavy cream and the ground pork, it was super filling.
The eggs were fine. Eggs, heavy cream, S&P, cheese. Not a big fan of eggs. Ate about 1/3 of them. Doubt I'll eat more.

>>7516629
And what do you propose on doing with the rest of them? Give them away to someone? Throw them in the bin?

>>7516639
You can have them if you want them, but I have a feeling we are on different continents.
I'm about to start drinking, so maybe I'll eat them cold when drunk. If not, then into the garbage disposal.

>>7516646
Alright, thanks. Just needed to clear a few things up before I vote later.

Lunchable consists of Turkey and cheddar with Ritz and Capri sun, also a reeses peanut butter cup.

Turkey torchón with Ritz toasted in butter and herbs, Pacific cooler Capri sun gellee, and refreshing cherry jello cubes with chocolate and cheese tasting assortment.

Turkey slices were wrapped in a bacon slice before cooking, Capri sun was simmered with some pectin and pomegranate vodka, Ritz was processed then pan toasted with butter thyme and basil, cherry jello -made jiggler style- because it went with the Capri sun flavor, Orange slices because we always got one with lunch.

For this challenge I interpreted things a little differently. I went with foods that are geared towards kids and reminiscent of my time in the trade school cafeteria. I rarely open my lunch bag to find Lunchables but on the occasions that I did it I was the coolest kid in lunch period. I was raised by my grandparents and they always included a citrus of some kind.

I wish I would have had more time for this challenge but a lot happened this week and by the time I got home today the day light had gone but I wouldn't have time to do this tomorrow. So I apologise for shitty lighting. I live in a cave.

I was thinking next time marbling the blueberry sugar puree into the batter. If you have any suggestions i would appreciate the feedback.
i also laughed hysterically at your wholly accurate assessment.

Timestamp and Identifier incoming. Here's my Nacho Pizza. I made the dough with honey. It has a nacho cheese sauce base, home seasoned ground beef, mexican 4 cheese blend, topped with homemade guacamole, homemade tortilla chips, and a little bit more mexi cheese. Pizza was always a favorite of mine growing up. Friday was almost always pizza night, and I also enjoyed having pizza for lunch many times during the summer. I decided to make a pizza themed around some of my favorite childhood memories, which were my family vacations to Canada. Every summer my family would drive from southern California to Canada in a VW van and camp the entire time. I made a nacho pizza because we would always hit up a mexican food joint with really good nachos in San Luis Obispo California. I also remember having really good pizza at this hippy bakery on Hornby Island in Canada. We would eat it outside and listen to live music. I used Tillamook cheese to represent passing through Oregon. My original plan was to also make a marionberry and apple pie with the marionberries representing Oregon again and I was going to use Washington apples. I ended up not having the time or energy to make the pie unfortunately.

love chicken fried fried steak, but that looks pretty average. The sausage gravy looks way too thick, and the overcooked eggs don't belong there at all. The garnish definitely elevates the presentation, but the first thing I'd do would be to throw them off to the side.

I'm not really a fan of sweet breakfast foods, but you could easily sell that in a restaurant. My only advice on plating would be to take your sharpest carving knife and clean up the edges so that it doesn't look like a slice of casserole with fancy plating.

Here's my entry: Cherry tomato bolognese with white truffle oil alphabetty spaghetti

I was a really fussy eater as a kid and spaghetti bolognese at 8 years old was the pivotal dish that took me out of that spell an into real food. It became my favourite meal as a kid. Granted, the ones that my mum used to do were based on a jar of Dolmio but everything here is from scratch.

In case that story doesn't sell it, I decided to use Alphabetty Spaghetti to make the challenge more relevant to childhood. It's really fun to cook with!

Steps/recipe/ingredients to follow later. For now I need to eat.

>>7518944

That truffle oil has my interest. What's the base oil comprised of? Where did you buy it from?

>>7518944
Bolognese. Bacon frying in pan with rosemary. Add white onions and chopped garlic after a few mins. Add red wine to deglaze. Add mince till it browns. Add shitloads of chopped cherry tomatoes, two punnets (ordinary is good too but I love cherry!). Mix. Add a few pinches of salt, pepper, oregano, chilli powder to taste. Season your food how you like. Leave to sit and stew for a few hours ideally.

Alphabetty Spaghetti. Takes 4-6 mins to cook, 3 mins is al dente. While this is cooking, chop basil, chilli and garlic. Once ready, drain and add pasta to an oiled pan. I hold my hands up here and say that I fell for the truffle oil meme because of last minute competition panic as I have been completely busy since Wednesday afternoon. It tastes OK but it's very overwhelming. Use sparingly or otherwise replace with extra virgin olive oil. The pasta is prone to clumping together very fast so mix thoroughly in the hot pan. Plate and serve with bolognese.

Optional: Spell out your challenge in dried pasta. They really do make lots of every letter.

>>7518975
It's "Extra Virgin Olive Oil flavoured with white truffle". The brand is La Espanola. I found it in a big Sainsbury's.

It tastes fine but it's powerful stuff that dominates other flavours. A quick google search indicated that it's not looked upon favourably by many chefs. Still, too late now. I'll probably use it as a dip with bread or otherwise use very sparingly in dishes in future.

>>7518989

>a quick google search indicated that it's not looked upon favourably by many chefs

/ck/ could have told you that.

>>7518989

I probably wouldn't use it as a cooking oil, but I'm figuring it would be a decent salad oil as a base for earthy dressings. I'll have to try finding some. How much did you pay?

>>7518995
I paid £2.50 for a 250ml bottle

To be honest, the bolognese looks pretty bad. The onions and carrots are cut quite large which suggests to me that the texture would be poor and that they probably weren't well sweated as it would be more difficult. The meat doesn't actually look as though it was properly browned, more that it simply turned brown instead of frying. The meat also hasn't broken down in the sauce.

The use of alphabet spaghetti and the adult spin on a kid's food boosted this for me since it's otherwise quite a basic dish. Unusual highlight of ingredients and ways of preparing them. You could have taken longer on bolognese as it seems rushed.

Protip: source a couple grams of truffle and add some nice olive oil to it. Let it sit a week.
If you buy a bottle of truffle oil that has a knob of truffle in it, refill it with oil after it is depleted. That knob is enough to flavor many batches of oil.
Use SPARINGLY as a garnish on risotto or pasta with simple sauces, NOT as a base for salad dressing. Maybe a couple drops in a dressing.

Kinda shit to be out already but that was probably going to happen anyway after missing the second round. Maybe next year.

Here's the food anyway, just in case anyone feels like rating unofficially. Red braised pork, something I always had a lot of as a kid. Cooked in strips and chopped at the end, giving the pretty, clean white on the inside. Threw in some rock sugar near the end which gave it a really nice glaze. Broccoli was blanched then shallow fried and drizzled in the unreduced sauce. Served with some rice. All in all turned out really nicely, everyone was in agreement this was the nicest they remember me making it., which makes it all the more frustrating I didn't do it justice by actually uploading it in time.

I would have preferred medium grain rice personally, more sauce, richer glaze, broccoli boiled a little less and fried a little more. Very typical of what I would have eaten as a kid.

Any word on when the next round is going to be up?

I reckon somewhere later this evening when bubble gets home from work.

Any news on whether Lyin' Tom will be allowed to compete in the next round or not? Keep us updated

Mods, sort him out thanks.

Bubble, update on Lyin' Tom' status in the competition when you get on please.

>>7522550
Just got home. Getting the last votes in, then will be working on the new thread.

In the mean time if we could keep this thread saged to it sinks fast, that'd be ideal.

Hey Bubbles, can we get an update on what >>7522672 asked please?

>>7522683

Thread was on page 8 before someone bumped it.

Might as well just bring it to bump limit at this point and let it auto sage.

>>7522688
Good job on being the 310th.
