Don't buy steak in a tossing supermarket. Get to the butchers lad and get some real meat, not this bullshit cardboard they sell in sainsburys.

Anyway - I might get one, and the first thing on my agenda will be Ribs. Piles and piles of ribs.

I don't believe any of this [a couple of exceptions] lot has ever purchased anything outside of the proverbial commercial supermarket crap-of-choice, less ever witnessing a real local market.

Siwilai.

A pathetic state.

Does that include beef curtains?

In returning to the land of the shitty arse, one thing I noticed was that, bar none, all food, especially meat veg and FRUIT in superrmarkets is shit. 100% shit. All fruit is unripe or decaying (which is what the west now think ripe fruit is - decayed fruit). Closest place to having half decent stuff is M&S. Even waitrose is shockingly bad.

All depends on what ones interpretation of ripe.

A banana while soft and yellow is sweeter and easier to digest.

An apple can be left to mature and taste sweeter and soft, whilst a Thai will empty the tree of apples in spring when they are sour and the size of Lulu's left Bollock.

Ripe means ready for reaping. Thats all. So for Thais as soon as it can be eaten it is eaten. In the West, when it is at it's peak. however, supermarkets demand their supplier harvest whilst not even close to ripe and then hold in oxygen deficient bunkers which stops it rotting UNTIL it hits the shelves. So the fruit is never ripe. It goes from shit to rotten shit. The moment we are tricked into believing that it is ripe is the moment that the fruit has begun rotting away, but before the tell tale signs appear on the fruit. In the UK, you will never have a properly ripe banana like you do in Asia.

All fruit everywhere is better in the country where it is grown of course. I'll never forget an earth shatteringly good nectarine in Perugia.

**Chittychangchang** · 05-01-2018, 03:52 AM

Did you compare your earth shatteringly good nectarine from deepest darkest Perugia at the same time as say Tescos finest in the UK?
Maybe you were dehydrated and in need of some vitamin c.

The best Curry in the world does not come from India but Bradford,UK.

The best Granny Smiths are from a tree in Seville and the finest dizziness inducing grapes are from Victoria, Australia.

LOL oh dear. UK "indian" curries are begali dishes smothered in gravy for UK tastes. You will not find ANYTHING close to the shit they serve up in Bradford or birmingham or anywhere else in the UK in INdia because it is not Indian food.

For the nectarine to be in Tescos, they are harvested unripe. Once picked, they stop ripening immediately and start to decay. It is 100000% certain that a ripe fruit from Perugia whence it is grown is considerably better than the crap they dish up in tesco.

Are you sure it wasn't pork?

This is your neck of the woods ay it, Ciz?

Oh BB. You wanna leave a pack of bacon in overnight and the great thing is they come in vac sealed packs already....

[QUOTE] I love the work that they do over at ChefSteps, but when I saw their video recommending sous vide bacon, I have to admit I rolled my eyes a little. This has got to be one of those "everything looks like a nail when you have a hammer" situations, I said to myself. You know, one of those times when sous vide is deployed just for the sake of sous vide, rather than to actually improve things. I mean, can you really improve on plain old fried bacon? What could possibly be the point of cooking bacon at 147°F overnight?

Still, I trust them enough that I decided to give it a spin.

Holy cow pig, that is some good bacon!

I mean, really, really good. The idea of bacon that's crisp and moist at the same time is appealing, but in practice, it ends up crisp in some areas and rubbery in others—which is why I generally prefer my bacon cooked completely crisp. But overnight sous vide bacon is the first bacon I've ever tasted that delivers on that moist-and-crisp promise. It's crispy on the exterior as you bite into it, but it quite literally melts in your mouth, like the finest confit pork belly, as you chew [QUOTE]

Why are you shopping in supermarkets, you pleb? Plenty of great food available if you know where to look. Get yourself to a decent market ffs!

Yep.
Yet, many are convinced otherwise.
As they haven't a clue.
