Oooh that is perfect for Halloween! Yum, maggot balls instead of popcorn balls! How did you get them like that? Deep fry?

[gfron1]

Yep. Simply deep fry your darkest wild rice. And since we're talking Halloween - be sure to stuff a blueberry in a lychee fruit and set it in a champagne jello shot for eyeballs!

[emilyr]

Puffed wild rice that went into a savory granola...it was much tastier than it looks.

I'm just goofing around at work (as usual!) and opened this thread with out really looking at the title. Had the pic open on my desktop but couldn't see the caption yet. I thought it was maggots. This might be a good thing to make for Halloween! How did you do it?

[gfron1]

Look at the post above yours...

In need of a good laugh, I turned as usual to "the other dinner thread"!!!! Thank you again, all who contributed, for my much needed distraction.

Oooo! Oooo! I have one!



I was trying to create a memorable vegetarian entree but the new husband said it looked like an electron micrograph of a 14 year-old's chin.

Nice job Run! Kinda looks like what the above pic hatched from.........

Well I know I won't ever be able to erase the memory of it... (is that asparagus in pasta with some sort of cheese sauce? Because that sounds delicious.)

HA, HA, HA.............o.k.....sorry couldn't help myself. That just might be the actual funniest moment I have had in weeks! (nearly spit my tomato all over the screen)


Yes, I live an uninteresting life....

Wow! that is just creepy.

I made this for lunch tomorrow, and I knew as soon as it was finished I had to report it here.



Turmeric: meet red cabbage. Red cabbage: meet turmeric. Lunch: meet Gallery of Regrettable Food. My camera can't even capture the Prussian blue-meets-yellow ochre matte horror of this dish.

[gfweb]

The colors would be subtle and beautiful if in a leaf mat on a stream bottom and not on a plate.

But Erin, how did it TASTE?

[nakji]

Actually really good, as I'd let the cabbage crisp up in the pan, and it made it quite sweet. I actually garnished with fresh chopped cilantro, which helped a little, too. Mixed in with the rice, it wasn't as horrifying.

But yeah, it did look like a stream bed.

This little beauty was delicious (black sesame filling), but everytime I see this picture, I think of this thread, so here it is.

[Panaderia Canadiense]

OMG, the blob ate something that didn't agree with it! I love it - what flavour was the wrapper?

[Kouign Aman]

yam (rice dough)

[Shelby]

That looks like a tick that's full of blood off of my dog--except it's green blood.... *faint*

[GlorifiedRice]

Id eat it

[Kim Shook]

I have no clue what that is. But, yes, it certainly belongs on this thread.

[Panaderia Canadiense]

This was beef stroganstuff (not quite a true stroganoff - no cream); delicious, but it looks kind of like cat yukk with noodles in it.... Try as I might I couldn't get a flattering photo of it. The peas are particularly unfortunate, I think.

[nonblonde007]

I am so happy this thread came back to life!

Cat yukk is perfect. Hope it tasted good!

[Panaderia Canadiense]

It was delicious, and in the end I regretted not having made more. Too bad it looked so awful!

[ambra]

It doesn't look so bad! What did you use in place of the sour cream?

Edited by ambra, 29 April 2012 - 11:30 AM.

[Panaderia Canadiense]

Thin sour yogurt (the type sold here for use in smoothies; it has the consistency of thick cream. If you simmer it low enough, this doesn't curdle or separate the way that sour cream does.) It's also much easier on Mom; since she hasn't got a gallbladder, it's hard for her to process the amount of fat that sour cream or nata plus a squeeze of lime implies.

It also means, of course, that I can't really call it Stroganoff. Since it's essentially a variation on what my family calls "stuff in a pan" it was christened Stroganstuff - it's close enough ideologically, if not ingredients-wise....

[ambra]

Thanks for the info!!! Stroganstuff might hit a table near me sooner than later. ;)

Sort of a dyspeptic yam-ball god? LOL! I think it needs to become the mascot for this thread....
