Tako Tuesdays: The Food Thread
by Takimoto on Jul 26, 2010 10:21 PM PDT
Email
PrintFood is something I'm relatively passionate about. I don't have a lot of money, but I choose to have good food as one of my luxuries. Granted, I have my guilty pleasure foods that are decidedly not high-class, but I eat what I like and don't mind paying a little extra to get it. Foods after the jump:
MEATS
Cowboy Ribeye - The steak of steaks. Keep your Filet Mignon (French for "cute fillet") and give me a big ass piece of American steak. It's fatty, juicy, and delicious. And as always with beef, it's all about the marbling.
Rack of Lamb - Yes, I know Quinn, it's a baby sheep. It's also delicious. Get over yourself. My favorite herb is rosemary, and any good rack of lamb will prominently feature rosemary. And it's got fabulous display potential. It's the prettiest of all the meats, as far as I'm concerned.
Bacon - Ahhhh, bacon. I defy you to name me a food that doesn't taste better with bacon. I'll sprinkle bacon on my Rice Krispies, thank you. Combine it with my favorite seafood (scallops), and you get the greatest of all foods:
Bacon. Wrapped. Scallops.
Have mercy.
MEXICAN FOOD
Chile Verde - As a general rule of thumb, slow roasted pork is fantastic. Add a green chile sauce, and it's perfection.
Rice - I love rice in general, but Mexican/Spanish rice is perfection as a side dish.
Tortillas - How great are tortillas? You can put anything in them and it's fantastic! Throw some whipped cream and nutella in there, and it's like a Mexican crepe.
Queso Fresco - The perfect taco cheese.
ASIAN FOOD
Sashimi - Sushi? Sure, it's great. But give me a melt-in-your-mouth piece of toro, hamachi, or tako, and I'm a happy Tako.
Katsu - breaded, deep friend pork. Need I say more?
Kamaboko - Processed fish cake? Sounds gross. And it kind of is. But it's perfect in a bowl of udon or ramen. It's the fish equivalent of Spam. Speaking of Spam...
Chow Fun - wide rice noodles > skinny chow mein noodles
SPAM
I love Spam. Is it meat out of a can? Absolutely. But it's sooooo good. Throw some into fried rice, mix it in with scrambled eggs and rice for breakfast, heck, you can eat it straight out of the can if you want. And look...
via www.spam.com
This was made especially for me.
HAWAIIAN FOOD, and not just a couple specific things. All Hawaiian food. Love it. Kalua pig and lomi lomi salmon, ahi poke, and my favorite breakfast of all time, Loco Moco.
The Ingredients:
- Rice
- Fried Eggs, preferably over easy or up.
- Beef Patty, preferably like a half pound.
- A heck of a lot of brown gravy.
It's simply perfection. Everyone has their hangover cure. This is mine.
SANDWICHES
Turkey w/ Cranberry sauce
Corned Beef
Hot Pastrami
Grilled Cheese
Chicken Pesto w/ pepperoni and mozzerella - Best panino ever.
Sidenote: Panini is plural. Panino is the singular. Start using it. You'll be douchey, but you'll be right.
POTATOES
Tater Tots
Curly Fries - the only acceptable venue for ranch dressing
Twice Baked Potatoes
Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes
Shoestring fries
OTHER GUILTY PLEASURES
Jack in the Box tacos
McDonald's sausage McMuffin w/egg
Spicy Nacho Doritos
Hostess Crumb Donuts
Maruchan Ramen, Oriental flavor
fake and nasty nacho cheese
FAVORITES
Fruit: Mango
Cereal: Honey Nut Cheerios
Vegetable: zucchini
Mushroom: crimini
Pasta: rotini
Pasta sauce: pesto cream
Sushi: unagi
Bread: ciabatta and Dutch crunch
Cookie: snickerdoodles
Ice Cream: cookies and cream, or Ben & Jerry's Half Baked
Berry: raspberries
Salsa: fresca, spicy
Chips: Salt & Pepper Kettle Chips
CONDIMENTS
Breakfast - Tapatio or gravy
Hot Dogs - ketchup and onions. I'll go different condiments for different sausages, but this is my basic hot dog formation.
Mexican food - guac, sour cream, hot sauce, lime. Gimme the works.
There it is. Have at it.

Sorry, Tako. JITB tacos taste like unwashed feet.
Bring on the Loco Moco, kalua pig and lomi salmon. Spam musubi, yes. Spam otherwise, I’ll pass.
Rec'd just because of this

As far as Mexican food (which I'm not a huge fan of) goes, chilaquiles are a very nice small entree.
Chip Kelly is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.
What you forgot...
Potatoes. Loaded baked potatoes. Chives, BACON (of course), butter (lots of it), sour cream (even more of it), roasted garlic, and cheese, lots of melted delicious cheese.
If you’re adventurous, add salsa or even a good chili to make your loaded potato a meal.

That don’t require poop,maybe I could interest you in a nice oyster mushroom? Or some morrels?
On a side note: I used to have a friend who lived right next to the big mushroom farm (Ostrom) in Olympia, WA and when the wind blew in just the right direction, it was worse than Corvallis, and that cow dung smell that pervades the whole area. Second side note, I knew another guy in Olympia, who got his first job there, he would insist that you should not wash a mushroom, when I pointed out that they grow on shit, he would say “STERILIZED shit”, to which I would respond, “So you admit it!” then I would wash the mushrooms.
Honey bunches of oats are really good, and butter pecan ice cream is fucking great.

noisy as hell
The wife, and I and the kids were all in a hotel room in Denver recently. They’re all asleep, I’m still awake reading my book trying to be quiet, I’m a little hungry, and get out the bag of Sunchips. Do you know how fucking hard it is to be quiet eating Sunchips these days? So ridiculously noisy, you can’t even touch the stupid bag without making someone wake up! Forget trying to watch a movie or something on the TV.

I haven’t had Sunchips recently, so I haven’t experienced this new bag. The bag is really that bad as to render the goodness inside obsolete? Is the bag made of baby seal pelts or something?

Mediterranean food was created for late night munchies (thanks for reminding me). My wife will make up a bunch of ground lamb with all the sides (tzatziki, feta, tomatoes and onions in olive oil and balsamic vinegar) and it’s perfect for the late night eats. Time to go raid the fridge.

Rice Krispie Treats are the WORST at this. They destroy the roof of your mouth, but you cannot eat just one. I don’t care what type of pain you are in, you will eat at least half a pan of treats if you have the munchies.

The thing about italian food is that gluten keeps very well.
Coldness doesn’t have much to do with it, but it makes sense chemically that it will taste, a lot of the time, even better the next day. Primarily after being re-heated.
Chip Kelly is my shepherd, there is nothing I shall want.
I agree on the cold Italian food thing. Leftover pasta (and even lasagna) is great. I usually don’t even both warming it up.
The lone exception (as noted) is alfredo, or any pasta with a cream/butter based sauce, because it can’t be re-warmed without separating.

Pineapple and ham is a solid combination, but calling it the best simply means you’ve never had great pizza.
My current favorite is a thin crust pepperoni with truffle oil served at a place near my apartment. Though I’m also partial to anything with really good italian sausage.

I will someday get "good" pizza in a notoriously good pizza city like Chicago...
I have heard great things about the pizza there.
Self-anointed President of the Kenjon Barner fan club.
Watch out. We could have fights about this kind of thing alone. People from New York (or who appreciate that style of pizza) will think you’re a philistine if you like Chicago-style. And people from anywhere but the West Coast will think we’re delusional if we say we’ve had a good pizza out here. I think that’s a bunch of crap, but I’m just warning you.
Personally, I’m a deep dish kind of guy. I had a pepperoni pizza at Giordano’s in downtown Chicago and it blew my mind. I was full after two slices. But truly a transcendent experience. I would recommend it (although I’m sure the resident Chicago people will offer other great places to get a pizza).
Defending maligned chants since 2009
From my experiences, the best pizza in Chicago isn’t Chicago style.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-R-E-A-K-I-N-H-E-R-O-U-T-M-A-N"
I actually hate Giordano’s. Their stuffed crust is more like casserole than pizza.
Overall, Chicago is a pretty awesome place to get Pizza, with a lot of traditional Chicago style places, and just about every other style out there.

My all under-rated list
Meat: Louisiana hot links – eat them by themselves, put them in eggs or jambalaya or rice, slice them and cook em with pork chops. You can’t go wrong.
Fish: Fish tacos, which for a lot of people I know, still seems weird for some reason. But give me a good white fish, fry it up, serve it with chipotle tartar sauce, cabbage, diced avocado and I’m a happy man.
Cereal: I was going to say Rice Krispie Treat Cereal, but obviously you all are way ahead of me. I’ll go with Mini Swirlz – cinnamon roll cereal.
Mexican food: that sweet corn cake you get at places like El Torito. I could eat a tub of that stuff.
Hawaiian food (really Filipino food): Lumpia, either sweet or savory. My roommate in college made banana lumpia with cinnamon…amazing.
BONUS CATEGORY
German food: Roladin Since I’m half German (and spent a lot of time with my grandparents who emigrated from Germany), I got to try all the finest Deutschland has to offer. And this one is great. Meat wrapped in meat? That’ll do pig. That’ll do.

First, welcome. I see you’re pretty new here.
Second, with all due respect to your concerns, so what if it’s not related to Duck football? Leaving aside the fact that this site is for fans of all Ducks sports (even though football is admittedly the biggest one), you are free not to click on anything that you don’t want to click on. There is plenty of content related to Oregon sports. Dave just put up a post this morning about the Ducks’ first opponent. Go read that.
Obviously a lot of us like this kind of thing. It’s a great way to enjoy a community outside of arguing about sports all day long. You are free not to participate in these, and we won’t hold it against you. But don’t get your panties in a bunch because others enjoy it.

Alright, alright
Gorbachav5, Addicted, HoodRiverDuck and all,
Fair enough. No offense meant to any of you. Or if it was, I sincerely take it back. Sorry guys. Enjoy your bacon and such. We’re all Ducks fans and so I don’t want to fight with my brethren. I just think Addicted to Quack should only be about Ducks sports. Just one fan’s (and Ducks football author’s) opinion.
Best wishes, —-Brian Libby
First off
read your books Brian. Good stuff. I also noticed your shoutout to Joel and Finlay Dunn who are good friends of mine as well, so I know you keep good company.
I hope you continue to enjoy our football related stuff, and completely understand if you don’t want to read these kind of pieces.
One of the things I’ve really enjoyed about the community here is that many of us have come to know each other outside of the constrictions of this site. We tailgate together before games. We meet up for basketball games or barbeques in the park just to hang out. Many of us have become quite good friends, and even though we live all across the country and may see each other only a few times a year, its a great way for us all to hang out together. You’re always welcome to come to these if you should wish.
Anyway, no offense taken at all. One of the great things about this place is that everyone can take what they want from it. Its like a whole buffet of awesomeness!. Football season is starting soon, then we’ll have a whole lot to talk about.

No offense taken. One of the things I enjoy most about this site is that we can loosen up and relax and talk about things outside of sports. But I think this site remains mostly about Oregon athletics, and when football season starts, there will be a lot more focus on that.

Not offense intended to Tako or AtQ staff, but I can understand this perspective somewhat. Being that it is on the front page material, and it had nothing to do with Oregon sports.

Cottage cheese is good. Cream cheese is good. Nacho cheese is good.
They aren’t made for eating straight though.
Sour Cream in baked goods can be a very important thing, like cheese cake. You need the tang that only sour cream can bring. But if you over do it, it is a disgusting thing.

Also, while I hate cream cheese, I LOVE cream cheese frosting. I would put this on burgers if it were readily available.

Mushroom: Morels. Although I’d still eat them if other yummy, yummy mushrooms weren’t available.
Pasta: Flavored pastas. I don’t need the spinach in the noodle, just put it on top.
Pasta Sauce: Fake pesto. In fact, any non-freshly-made pesto.
Sushi: Hardest call on here, sushi is the food of the Gods. That being said: Natto. This is not food. this means you, millions of Japanese people. Fermented, sour soy product: NOT FOOD. (Note to self: when you make your first Fan Post, it should be a rant about how utterly awful Natto is.)
Bread: Olive loaf. Really, what?
Cookie: Golden Oreos. Oreos filled with non-white filling. Even double Stuf Oreos. DON’T FUCK WITH OREOS. They are perfect as they were originally envisioned. Hydrox on the other hand, child please.
Ice Cream: Rocky Road. Marshmallows in chunky chocolate. It was time for this thread to go homoerotic anyway, so guess what that reminds me of.
Berry: Huckleberries. Toooooooo sweet.
Salsa: Mild. Why bother with salsa if you aren’t going for a little pain?
Chips: Plain Lay’s need to take a lesson from Pringle’s.

I can’t stand California rolls when it comes to sushi. I don’t know what natto is, so I can’t comment on it.
As for your take on Oreos, I’m with you on the Golden Oreos. However, as it is written in Matthias 2:15 “And lo, the baby Jesus was born, and in his arms was a package of Double Stuf Oreos. And all rejoiced.” Double Stuf Oreos are scrumptulescent.

I bet they have chocolate in them – maybe some kind of combo of chocolate cookie and white chocolate chips! Dare to dream Brad, dare to dream.
Then I find out that someone put oatmeal AND raisins in them and all my hopes are dashed. Then worse is when all the oatmeal and raisin “loving” masochists get all excited and pretend like they like them well I have to sit there and not eat cookies, it just pisses me off.
I once read an article that noted that the demographics for those people who claim to be abducted by aliens are the same for those people who engage in sadomasochism. I bet they are also the same for oatmeal raisin lovers.

Actually, this is not correct.
There is no scientific classification of “vegetable” or “fruit”.
It’s generally a culinary specification.
it’s spelled "S-H-U-F-R-E-A-K-I-N-H-E-R-O-U-T-M-A-N"
Actually, what I said was correct, and you're half right.
The word “vegetable” is not really a scientific term, other than the idea of “vegetable matter” or similar terms using “vegetable” as a modifier which really describes all plant matter (could be stem, leaf… even the part that is a “fruit”). To my knowledge, biologists and botanists don’t try to define what a vegetable is beyond it’s broad idea of plant matter that people eat, but obviously the culinary world has done so in a more specific way.
Fruits, and various subsets / types of fruits, are very clearly defined and studied and classified by biologists and botanists, who I hope you would agree are within the world of “science”.
The biological definition of a fruit is the ripened ovary of a flowering plant and the associated seeds.
There are some minor variations on that depending on who you talk to, but that’s the gyst.
Biologically, fruits include:
Simple Fruits: apples, oranges… squash, cucumbers, tomatoes…
Aggregate Fruits: raspberries, blueberries…
Composite Fruits: pineapple.. don’t know any others
So there’s no doubt there are culinary definitions for fruits which differ from the botanical definition, but in doing so, the chefs of the world have ignored the scientists of the world (and vice versa) because of taste, or whatever the given “purpose” of a fruit has in cooking.
Doesn’t make either one right or wrong, but there is most certainly a scientific definition for the word fruit.
Now, we could then go into the legal definition, which seems to get applied to each individual item whenever somebody wants to tax a “fruit” or a “vegetable”, and then somebody else doesn’t want to pay that tax. In 1883, the US Supreme Court declared the tomato a “vegetable”, for example.
But I’ve already bored myself to tears and am going to get back to something more exciting like heroin.

We can make it even more complicated if you like
Scientists love to put things into boxes, and categories. We can start breaking BM’s categories into smaller categories, and talk about drupes (peaches, plums), aggregate drupes (blackberry, raspberry), pomes (apples, pears), legumes (peas, beans), berries (grapes, tomatoes, bananas) and on and on into grains, samaras (winged fruits), achenes (sunflower seeds), nuts blah blah, blah.
But all you have to remember is if it has seed(s) it is a fruit.
