    Most people don't eat the skin unless it's fried anyways.  Roasted poultry skin is gross 90% of the time.  Baste the shit out of it and crisp it up all you want, that subcutaneous fat is almost always slimy.

    My old bodega in Brooklyn used to sell these.

    Fuck yeah 
  • I often eat the skin as well...although it can be slimy.  
    Wife raved about the chicken while we were eating dinner at her parents' place last night.
    I will be eating the rest of it today.  

    Nothing beats pig skin.  Chiccaron fucking rules the skin game.
    (Salmon skin is pretty good as well)

    Crispy duck skin for me please. Peking style.
  • That is good!  (You like better than pork?)
    Love it.
    What other skin is tasty?

    I eat the peel of potatoes.

  • Good call expanding beyond animal skin.
    I also love potato skins.  A baked potato wouldn't be the same w/o the skin.

    I bought my first Yanagiba. 

  • New knives are awesome.  
    I would like to try one of those
    Getting some globals changed my knife loyalties but that thing looks sweet

    Damn, that looks like a very fine cutting tool.

    I use cheap knives and sharpen them often.  Hell, I even use a cheap sharpener my mom bought at the as seen on TV store lol
    But the nicest two knives I have are Cutco and I do use them as often as they are clean and marginally appropriate for the cutting job.

    I'm guessing nobody has heard of these, but they are local and I'm hoping to be gifted a set in the future lol

    Those are pretty sweet looking. Prices aren’t bad either.
  • Those are wild looking, I like 
    The cutting boards are pretty cool looking, also.

    The museum for World Master Carver Ernest "Mooney" Warner is pretty amazing, his output was incredible, it seems he must have carved 10 hours a day his entire life. 

    They have a sharpening service onsite that keeps regular hours for these knives.

    This looks sick. That would take some getting used to for me. I use a little taller (not sure that’s the right word) blade but that looks awesome

    It’s only for slicing boneless fish in the preparation of sushi/sashimi. The blade is very thin and scary sharp. It’s also only sharpened on one side which apparently makes the fish slide off the blade. I think they call it a single bevel. I haven’t used it yet, but I’m looking forward to see if it helps in getting those professional looking sushi slices.

    Ahhh. I didn’t realize that obviously. That’s awesome. Where do you live again? Where do you get your fish?

    I live on the west coast Ireland. Fresh fish on my doorstep but unfortunately most North Atlantic fish aren’t suitable to eat raw. In the summer we get wild blue fin tuna but in the winter a few of my local fish mongers get sushi grade tuna imported from the med.

    I thought so. I’ve never done raw fish myself. I’d like to give t a go sometime. Am sure some of the fish guys around here have sushi grade or can get it.

    Has been voted best in South Jersey, best in Jersey, and best in Philly area.  Lots of different publications have these "awards" but that typically means they are rock solid.
    In this case....yes.  think it holds up to most any steak I have had
    Their roast pork is not as good, though

    Chicks Deli, cheesesteak w/onions and peppers.
    Excellent.

    That looks good!
    I've been making my own lately because nobody around here can do it right.

  • How do you cook the steak?  
    I can make a killer ckickensteak but my cheesesteak is average.

    I buy a packaged brand (don't know the name off the top of my head) of thin shaved beef at walmart.  It's like paper thin.
    I just salt the fuck out of it (the key to a good steak sammich, IMO) and toss it in with my peps and onions when they are almost done.  As soon as it gets soupy from the bloody juices leaving the meat I drain those drippings off and return it to high heat to get a hard sear.  Provolone melted on top, sometimes some Amish pepper cheese.

    We like a heavy slather of Hellman's mayo on the roll but I suppose some wouldn't.

    I could go for a good cheesesteak. Tough to find one in the Twin Cities though.


    Knocked out cabbage roll hot dish tonight. Basically cabbage rolls, minus all the putzy work of rolling them. Also realized I’m going to eat a shit ton of cabbage this week with St. Pats this weekend.
