    Some killer Father's Day eats people!!
    Nothing too special on my end, some pork jowl and garden veggies.  Haven't tried the pickled peas yet, I try to give them at least a week before I open them up.

    It was great.
    I grated it in a cheese grater, so it wasn't a paste at all. Added nothing to it.
    It has a nice, subtle heat and an herbal flavor. The heat dissipates almost immediately, and even when I lumped it on, there was none of that nasal burn that's common with the horseradish based stuff. From what I read, you have to use it immediatey bc after it makes contact with the air, it breaks down and loses its heat quickly. I'm going to make tartare with the leftover tuna tonight and grate the rest of the wasabi into it. It's going to be hard going back to the paste, although I did find a place in the UK that grows it and will ship it. Just so damn expensive. Apparently it's very difficult to grow which leads to a high demand and even higher prices.

    Hello Gorgeous!!! I love a good old-fashioned shrimp cocktail. Actually, any shrimp will do.

    I hope I get to try the real thing someday. However, I do love a good package of wasabi peas (real wasabi or not).

    Man, it looks like some amazing feasts were had over the weekend. Killer pulled pork, great looking ribs, that smoked jowl looks incredible, the seafood extravaganza looked crazy good, fresh wasabi is a treat (there's a big farm in Oregon where I've bought it - https://www.thewasabistore.com/), Fun seeing all of the feasts after being away a few days. I did some pork belly burnt ends yesterday for the hell of it, and they were great.

    There are some great eats in this thread and I love seeing what people are cooking and eating. It is inspiring!

    Fish is Cod.  Yeah, that's clams casino, though I can't take any credit for it.  Bought them prepared from The Lobster House and tossed them on the grill.  That and the crab cakes were the only prepared foods we got.

    We got after it.

    I wish my wife enjoyed seafood. She only likes shrimp and crabs so I rarely am able to get crafty like this.

    Ah..yeah.  Nothing wrong with either of those, but yeah.  We eat a good amount of seafood.  Probably twice a week. Whether it be fish tacos, we've been making salmon bowls, or just straight fish.

    I should note, there were like 6 of us getting into that.  That is not a meal for 2 people. lol

    Our FM has discontinued curbside and is doing preorders.  Honestly, with the way things sell out at the FM, a preorder isn't a bad idea.

    Just digging into my Father’s Day gift, some smoked king salmon bacon from our old neighborhood spot Shelsky’s of Brooklyn. 

    So good.

    Smoked King Salmon Bacon? Well that's something I never knew I needed in my life until now.
