The rest of it yes. The Elvis Special. The Mayo is a war crime as far as I'm concerned. The King would be horrified 😂 1

El Presidente Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 These are actually pretty good Bull testical Burrito Some fresh sliced hot chilli gives it the necessary lift.

At the fromt of the restaurant there is a bar area where people wait for their table to be called. The normal iberico hams hang from the ceiling, cigarette/cigar smoke everywhere, simple red wine or vermouth. They had these little spicy snail and chorizo "sliders". Brilliant. 1

That was very much worth the price of asking sounds epic. I do believe in Spain there used to be "smoking room hams" i.e tobacco smoked from the locals. I never had the pleasure...did you ever partake?

It is/was common practice in Pamplona/Navarra to hang the hams in the bar area. They are black and fully exposed to cigarette and cigar smoke.

Yeah I guess pretty much all hams would have been exposed to this back in the day, but I vaguely remember my Spanish teacher spinning a yarn about long aged tobacco smoked hams.
BTWheezy Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 Not me, but a friend’s dad was a huge fan of peanut butter and onion sandwiches…like a big ol’ thick slab of onion, too. Hard pass.
B44 Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 Just start drizzling this on everything. Baked Brie, Pizza, Appendages. So fawking good. https://mikeshothoney.com/products/mikes-hot-honey-original-extra-hot-combo 1
Capn_Jackson Posted May 15, 2023 Posted May 15, 2023 One night, many years ago, I decided to mix sriracha in with the mayonnaise on a turkey sandwich, and then I added capers. Then I added pepperonis. I still make the delicious thing sometimes, but NO ONE else will eat it. 2

It took me a few years of watching my dad do it before I got up the nerve, but now I count those as wasted years and I've never looked back.

I wonder if one day, someone will actually work out what is in it? i'm not sure I want to know

I love Kimchi in a crusty roll with some pork, beef or chicken or prawns and a thin spread of Korean paste. Just love Kimchi too. Cheers
Jack Posted May 17, 2023 Posted May 17, 2023 My butter and brie on a baguette is pedestrian by comparison.

Chibearsv Posted May 17, 2023 Posted May 17, 2023 Another one of my father's favorites. Anyone remember this stuff? Potted meat pureed and mixed with pimento and sweet pickle relish....in a tube. He'd squeeze it out onto bread like toothpaste. 1 1
