Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[popvulture]

Any of you Brits have a good mince pie recipe you’d share with me? My ex (who was from Worcestershire) made some incredible ones but alas I didn’t get her recipe and I somehow think she wouldn’t be so psyched to hear from me . Doubt I could get around to making any for Xmas at this point, but I’d love to have em in my arsenal for the future. Thanks in advance!

@popvulture my grandma always used this stuff
The pastry was the key though and I’m shit at pastry

Poaching a chicken, mainly because I want the carcass to make stock (but I'll find a load to do with the meat), of which I will need a shed-load over the next week or so. And the start of curried parsnip soup...

@Giles Ralph says it looks great.^

Bœuf bourguignon for tonight

[DeeDee85]

@endo that looks like it’s going to be amazing!

[ARNC]

@endo looks good. How much of the wine will take a more direct route from bottle to chef?

What Were You Cooking a Few Days Ago (and just remembered that you took a photo - well actually stumbled across it looking for something else.....)

Boozy Japanese Claypot Chicken

[Giles]

And the stock is made, shit loads in the large pan, smaller amount with the turkey neck, gizzards, and trimmings in the small pan, ready for making gravy on Christmas day...

[Giles]

Braised Red Cabbage is on the go......

Not sure how to spell this one -mother in law just smiles, nods and repeats the name of the soup when I asked for the spelling but it’s pronounced like colbit. Homemade chicken stock (unreal flavor in this stock), a kind of tapioca noodle, chicken, scallions, cilantro, lime, fish and oyster sauce. The perfect cold weather soup.

@flannel-slut that looks/sounds so good, man. Where’s she from? Soup name sounds sort of Filipino to me but I could be way off.

[flannel slut]

@popvulture it really is man. Wish I could figure out the spelling to reference properly. Her family is from Laos, so a lot of Vietnamese influence

[cityofdelusion]

Is it Khao piak sen by any chance?

[popvulture]

Man, Vietnamese food is one of my absolute faves. That fish sauce and lime combo is just

[flannel slut]

@cityofdelusion just googled it and SPOT on man. Considering my butchery of the spelling, well done

[flannel slut]

@popvulture totally agree! I remembered when I first smelled fished sauce years ago and was like “nope!” Silly white boy ‍️

[cityofdelusion]

@flannel-slut Glad my research didn't go to waste!
