Thanks Dr. Google but I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing.

So you are saying that because the animal you are eating is fed largely on grass, that your diet therefore is largely grass. I am sure you know what you are doing unless some one is force feeding you, just not what its doing to your body.

Nope I'm saying that what you've posted is that meat is inherently in and of itself toxic.

Which is obviously, you know, complete nonsense.

The lunch thread seems to have vanished.


Just got back home after a nice 200km ride through the mountains and MM is at work. Was gonna post up this blob of magnificence.







What do ye Aussie wordsmiths call it, a Maggot-Bag?

Ain't that the truth?. Never met anyone that didn't like a decent burger, from kids to grandparents everyone enjoys them. Except some vegans maybe, but even those whack-jobs are catered too these days with patties made from fuck-knows-what...

There's an Australian saying "She/He has a face like a dropped pie" and this is where it came from.

Had an ol' celly that would replace 'a dropped pie' with 'a smashed crab'.

Haven't heard that one in a very long time!

Well this thread is sure moving along. I will leave this here. I had a craving for Americanized Chinese today. So...

^ Nothing wrong with that ... looks great.

Noodle with Shrimp?
Sweet n Sour Chicken?
Red pork on the plate edge?

Taste good? Cost?

^I'm assuming it was a buffet to have all those combos on one plate. Looks good though!

It was combo but it was an entree at the local American style Chinese restaurant and also came with Sweet and Sour soup. An experience that is uniquely American. This is a good video explaining...

So, it's a vegan restaurant in Brickfields - but not vegan as we know it, this was south Indian vegan - very tasty. Now, before you point me out as a fat prat (at 6'2 and 86 kg), I had just a few spoons of each!

There was a Hindu festival of sorts going on - lots of loud music and two of my favourite libations (!) were there!

So, we started off with a very tasty mild curry soup in bread, baked in the kitchen

Attachment 45802

Followed by Indian Rojak, a fruit a vegetable dish, slightly sweet. Usually it's a snack or desert

Attachment 45803
Curry mee, a coconut-based curry noodle dish

Attachment 45804

A cendol (also called ABC for the ingredients) to 'cleanse' the palette . . . shaved ice with palm sugar syrup, coconut milk and assorted other things

Attachment 45805
Kampung fried rice (village fried rice)

Attachment 45806
Morringga fried rice (leaves from the Moringga tree, also known as Horseradish or Drumstick tree)

Attachment 45807Beetroot fried rice

Attachment 45808

Nasi goreng kampung with a curry leaf base

Attachment 45809
There were many more but I just gave up taking photos . . . five hours we sat and ate . . . then it was time to get back to my place, shower and get off to my Syrian dinner.

I'm glad this is not a common occurrence. . . far too much food

Looks delish.

Cendol with avocado and durian is the best.

Blimey. Did you finish all that?

Nice pic, does the dog do trix for some of that pie? Ours will roll over for a taste of that.

Not even close. I had the leftovers for dinner tonight.

Sorry no photos, but just ate the best Massaman I've ever ate and BBQ spare ribs to die for.
