I found a small cured pork belly in the freezer and decided to roast it low & slow ...
And, in order to fit it into the tiny glass form, I had to trim it generously and made steam-fried dumplings with the leftovers and cabbage ...
At the end, I will have to eat the full pork belly by myself, as my family went exclusively for the dumplings 😉

On tonights edition of Where Is The Carb, himself has some Roasted Turkey Breast with a side of Ham, Jalepeno & Cheese Scrambled Egg.
If anyone wants to send me some proteiny Inspo that would be awesome. He never complains but I'm getting bored of meat/egg/meat&egg cooking.
When I do LC, my weekly dinners feature heavily cauliflower crust pizza (& derivatives) ...-

Not in Sichuan!
Anyway, western Hunan is much spicier. The natives there consider the Sichuanese to be utter chilli wimps!
For me it is not the chili, it is the Sichuan pepper ... it’s like the Khmer Rouge invading you lower intestines and the intestinal fools surrender and retract 😱-

Pretty sure that the original was from Brooklyn and had something to do with swimming with the fishes.
But only from your limited perspective 😜“Swimming with the fishes” was a phrase originally coined in Mesopotamia (at around the same time that Schweinshaxe was invented) and referred to the annual salmon* migration up the Euphrates ...
*Salmon was native to the Fertile Crescent, until the Mongols came and took them to Norway.

Interesting expression. LOL
In English its typically "flogging a dead horse":
In German its „riding a dead horse“. Makes one wonder how the original expression in ancient Mongolian was 😜 ...

I overheard someone mentioning that riding a dead horse is Mongolian in origin, but now a global phenomenon ...

Hey now, as an actual Mesopotamian, I'd like to state that my people have never eaten dung!
Neolithic, my friend, neolithic ...God knows what they have consumed in my area, when the cradle of civilization was enjoying the dung-spiced gruel ...

Everybody knows that Schweinshaxe, a beloved German staple, can be traced back to neolithic Mesopotamia , where it began as a simple millet gruel spiced with dried scraps of dung. Over the centuries, the dish made its way to the east, where the base was changed to brown rice and dung was replaced by fermented goat butter. The mongols brought the dish as far as the Danube river, where a travelling Bavarian trader bought the recipe, ditched the carbs, replaced the fermented goat butter with bone-in pork hocks and moved from boiling to the more economic roasting by open fire.
But the real question for me is whether Schweinshaxe did exist in preneolithic times ? I mean millet certainly was not invented in Mesopotamia, so might Schweinshaxe have a far older history, e.g. originate in Africa !?
Any hint would be most welcome !-

Pizza & Movie night on Sundays ...
„Indiana Jones and the last Crusade“, enjoyed with:
Salami & Mushrooms
„Mapo Dofu“ w/ Sichuan chili oil. Pizza is for us essentially a way to use up the cold cuts in the fridge. I had some mapo dofu from yesterday and gave it a try akin of pizza bolognese. It worked pretty well - only disappointment was that after I thought I was so inventive I checked, and of course David Chang and Rene Redzepi did that during their guest stage at Mission Chinese in SF already. Was good, nonetheless ...
And another good, yet already commercialized idea from Spago, Las Vegas: Pizza with herb cream and smoked salmon. Very good (if I may say so) !

That's a rack of lamb - very interesting the way it is butchered, compared to a rack of lamb I'd get here.
Maybe my translation of the cut is off ?It is the lower back of the lamb (“under” the ribs), cut into cross sections through the spine.
Edited: Saddle it is ... thanks @BonVivant!

After some very pleasant days, rain has finally arrived and temperatures have dropped to a mere 16 oC. Something hearty was requested, so I made pan-fried rack of lamb and a huge pot of ratatouille. The little one is allergic to Aubergines, so I made him a Döner-style sandwich with grilled chicken and tons of veggies, which he ate without any complaints...

Dinner 2020
in Cooking
Posted · Edited by Duvel (log)
As predicted, the pork belly from lunch was all mine by dinner. So, a no-fuss pork belly sandwich, moistened with the super-condensed onion-y drippings, mustard and pickles. Yum !
