What Are You Eating?

Really should being the what are you going to eat?…guanciale after 2 weeks in the fridge with salts, pepper and other herbs to build in flavour. Berkshire pork so very fatty too. Now washed and dried off with a light dusting of pepper and juniper powder to hang in our crawl space fro 5-6 weeks till they lose ~30% of their weight. Will lather 2 up with lard and let them hang for longer, thinking limit further water loss but giving time to allow them to mature more. Thought about vac packing but like the idea of covered in pork fat vs.plastic appeals to me. Anyone done that?

Guanciale is a favorite of mine…and sometimes hard to find
 
Butterfly drumsticks. I’ll flip them at the end of baking and put the oven on broil for a few minutes to get the skin crunchy.

Oh it is, a lot of fun to make and a lot cheaper, it’s fun to make your own stuff and with time you get better as you learn. Yrs ago our legend Jerry D sold me 2 whole pigs he’d raised and I made prosciutto out of the haunches I kept. Both were epic, salting, temp and really time were key.

The food in a pic is not always self evident as to what it is. It would be a good idea to identify it so the viewer knows for certain. I looked at your first photo and thought, oh, pizza. Then no, that's not it, probably some Italian dish. Then it finally occurred to me that it could be a pile of vomit from ingesting something that shouldn't be eaten in the first place.

I think the "pile" comment is a bit vile (;)); much prefer @iveofione's dog food critique. Some of the foodies who post here do a pretty good job of taking pictures of their prep and plating (@Brute and that Alaska guy that catches HUGE trout), then there's the pile of vomit group, I mean dog food photographers (my pictures are in the dog food category but I don't take a picture unless the food turns out decent but then it's still dog food according the Frozen Tundra guy ;-) ). I'm sure the meal @flybill shows a pic of was very tasty.

Tonight: sockeye salmon pan seared in homemade teriyaki sauce, there won't be pics. But happy to share my teriyaki recipe (Mandatory ingredient: fresh grate ginger root).

I are wish you could stop beating around the bush and tell it like it is. Some of us have a hard time understanding the subtleties in your chosen vernacular.
