Cookin again

[Zardnaar]

Definitely a “Yea” from me! Love hand pies from a variety of cultures. Samosas, empanadas, escargot tarts, pastelillos, creole meat pies, etc.. If they taste good, I’m probably going to eat them.

if you can ever watch it, the show Somewhere South ep. 1 is all about hand pies and their long, long history.

I'll watch it later on tonight. Started doing foodie tours in youtube in lockdown.

Short video of winter festivals in my city and Queenstown 2020. Dunedins at the 3:40. Lots if cafes, bars, restaurants, food trucks featured.


End of video is road north with some of those flyspeck towns mentioned. One has a top 10 in NZ award for fish and chips two more have a great bakery

Alas, all I posted was the teaser! AFAIK, the only way to see the whole episode online is via PBS’s own website.

Free? Or region locked?

Doing a rewatch on The Wire which has soaked up TV time.

Free AFAIK, but don’t take that as gospel.

Netflix has some PBS stuff along with YouTube.

Ken Burns stuff isn't to bad.

Last night video made me hungry.

Found a low salt option.

Mexican chicken and chorizo pie. First pie of the year.

Kinda a spicy bacon taste.

That doesn't sound wrong to me, for Mexican Chorizo. It's not my native cooking, though, so I'm willing to be corrected.

That's what the pie was called it's not remotely Mexican. Mexican here basically means hot and spicy with beans.

Looking at bad stuff it's almost healthy 10% fat content though.

Fair enough.

"Spicy bacon" doesn't really describe the Spanish chorizo I've had, but my memory of Mexican chorizo--it's been longer--is that "spicy bacon" is plausible. That was what I was getting at. And 10% fat doesn't surprise me.

Probably not best description. Pie had spice and a slight bacon type taste.

I know our sausages, salamis taste different than US ones and different vs Europe.

Sugers suger but butter and milk for example can also taste different varying by country. Cheese as well even if they're the "same" type.

Hell sometimes the same brand same product tastes different.
