Just please for the love of whatever you hold sacred use a light touch when you include fish sauce. I know the kids over at SeriousEats will tell you to go ahead and throw an entire 1/4cup of fish sauce into any dish that has red meat or tomatoes, but (in just this one instance) don’t listen to them.

Yeah, and when France took over Indochina they were disgusted to see the Vietnamese consuming fish sauce. Even though it had been part of their cuisine for centuries; only lost when more sophisticated salt making techniques/technologies came into being.

No food safety issues if you are simmering for an hour and a half. The meatballs should easily reach safe to consume internal temperatures. Easy to check with an instant read thermometer, or by plucking out the biggest intact meatball you can find a slicing it open.

Einmal ist keinmal 

It has to be entertaining and engaging/engagement...where would the ‘g’ come from if it was information?

Searing does not lock in moisture. Searing creates crust on the meat that is both a flavor and textural contrast to the interior of the cut.

Do NOT use raw fat. For rillettes you are supposed to use some of the rendered fat you cooked it in to pack it away. As it cools the whole thing will meld together. I suppose you could use layers of cured pork fat, but that is just speculation. Never seen or heard of it being done that way before.

What’s her cunt...uhh...she was Aaron Rodgers beard for a while...Olivia Munn! Olivia Munn made a name for herself doing whatever weird skits G4 asked of her. She parlayed that meager level of notoriety into some better gigs like correspondent for The Daily Show. Turns out that while she’s quite gorgeous she has no…

Fair enough.

I remember Skittles having lime and switching it out, but all my life (born in ‘87) green candy was green apple. Or sour apple.

No, but he refused to pour me any Hungarian beers saying “Why would you want a Hungarian beer? We have Czech beers here.”

And this is exactly why talking about food to my fellow Americans on the internet is such a trying and exhausting thing:

Try mango on a Hawiian pizza instead of pineapple. Life changing.

Wilbur Buds are far superior to Hershey’s Kisses. Unfortunately they are about twice as expensive to buy in bulk.

Wait...you expect a green candy to be lime flavored? I think it might be your expectations of the world you live in might be out of pace with reality.

Dark chocolate>milk chocolate. I like actually tasting cacao instead of oil and sugar. However, quality is always a factor. High quality milk chocolate>those dark chocolate baking squares you get at the super market.

They already took away the food. It’s the crap they sell us in place of food that makes us so unhealthy.

Heh.

This seems like a fun way to waste a couple minutes each day...but I agree with you; it is beyond annoying when people take non-competitive hobbies and force them to be some sort of contest. I’ve mostly given up on backpacking forums because all it is these days is people circle jerking about how light they can get…

Hah thanks, I was really perplexed by that. Googled it twice to make sure it wasn’t two words, but never checked to see if I made a typo.
