Spike 5,100 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 1 hour ago, Berserker said: We do have a food by that name, however Milanesa a la napolitana is not a sandwich, it's a food that you put on a plate. Though there are Milanesa sandwiches typically with lettuce and tomato plus mayo, mostaza or whatever you like. Difference between normal Milanesas and the ones made " A la napolitana" is that the the latter are somewhat cooked like a pizza with mozzarella and tomato sauce. Ah, I see. I just remember the name being odd. 'Milan in the style of Napoli'. I'm sure a few Italians would give that an odd look. Your Milanese sounds like what we call 'Parmigiana' in the Anglosphere, which is just the typical 'Parmigiana' sometimes made with meat instead of aubergine.

Your Parmigiana sounds in fact very similar, Milanesa can also be made with either meat, chicken or aubergine. This kind of Parmigiana Looks in fact like "Milanesa a la napolitana con fritas" a very popular and tasty local dish.

I'd thanks to the Italians immigrants of the 50s. Even crazier is that Americans will put it on a toasted sandwhich, it's delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I'm cooking a lot lately, so I'll post anything unique that I cook up in here. Obviously not just rice and chicken, something "interesting" that way the thread isn't pointless. Yesterday I cooked up some Com Tam as I mentioned, today is Brazilians finest. I'll have it up soon.

Administrator Stan 18,367 Posted October 23, 2017 Administrator Share Posted October 23, 2017 nice. love sea-bass. Salmon is my favourite. Any fish on my plate has to be topped and tailed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't even know if they're readily available here (my fish knowledge isn't great). Fish I've had includes the one's mentioned, plaice, haddock, cod, hake, tilapia. Maybe a few more but can't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas 3,825 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Stick that fish up your arse. Hate seafood. I wish I liked it but the smell is too grim. Looks impressive when dished up but it's not for me. Where I work 12 hour shifts, I don't want to waste my time cooking every time so I usually use one of my days off to make a healthy Chilli and a Curry with chickpeas and Veg and fill up 5 containers worth and freeze so I have meals ready. I also make a healthy Cottage Pie with a sweet potato mash top and got into making different soups lately with help of a soup maker. Sometimes I'll cook 3 Chicken breasts at a time and do some veg with it to make little meals in the fridge prepped and ready to heat up. I try to eat healthy on weekdays so weekends I can splurge on the bad shit with my GF. Edited October 23, 2017 by Lucas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted October 23, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Fresh seafood barely has any "fishy" smell at all. If it does, it's not fresh and you should avoid eating it anyway. Pro tip: let your fish sit in milk for around 15 minutes before cooking it to get rid of the odour.

Chicken is my favourite thing to cook because of how quick and easy it can be both in time as well as variations of how you can do it.

Inverted 1,776 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 (edited) As well as chicken, when I was living abroad and cooking regularly I always liked minced pork for an easy dinner. Any minced meat is insanely easy to cook, actually. Just cook a whole pack of it in a big pot with chopped onions, garlic, tomatoes and pepper, and a shit load of spices. Then I would just have it with wraps, or potatoes or whatever I liked, until I ran out. Cheap, easy and delicious af. I normally just did it with whatever meat I can could get on sale (ah student life), but minced pork was normally the cheapest.

Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted February 19, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted February 19, 2018 Bought around 2 kilos of beef today, so was looking for ideas of what to do with it other than the usual stuff like stew, steak or stroganoff etc. Just found this (Korean BBQ style Bulgogi), looks absolutely delicious, going to try it on the weekend! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
