h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

This is an alternative for the other fat-threads.

This one is dedicated tro people who are fat (like me) but don´t feel fat, or care about it.

This is also for anyone who doesn´t want to discuss the issues of being too fat/skinny.

So lets talk about something really interesting: FOOD

Post your favourite dish, recipe or the place where you had the best food ever.

Here goes mine:

Recipe:

Ouzo´s famous salad with roasted breast of duck:

any salad you prefer
one or two breast of duck (with skin!)
balsamico vinegar
salt/pepper
Grand Marnier/ Cointreau

Take the duck and put salt/pepper on it, put it down skin-side up. Take a knife and make a couple of cuts across the skin. Meanwhile preheat a pan. Put the duck into the pan skinside down. Do NOT add any oil! In the mean time, wash salad and put on plates. Turn the duck occasionaly until it is a soft pink on the inside (you can test by pressing your thumb on it, if it feels like the part of your hand between thumb and index-finger whe the hand is stretched out it is ready). Take the fat from the pan in a cup and add vinegar and salt and pepper to taste. Add a dash of Grand Marnier and mix thoroughly. Cut the duck in thin slices and put it on the salad. Add the dressing and serve while the duck is still warm.

Best dinner:

In a restaurant run by a distant relative of Richard Wagner. Very nice place and just gorgeous food. And a campari orange, with freshly squeezed orange juice.

So just throw in your two kilos, erm.., pence

Things have been a little quiet lately so some new members would help to kick start it again.

Duck's a good one. Jamie Oliver came up with an amazing stuffing for roast duck, one that's aromatic and that adds to an amazing gravy, but you don't eat. Among other things, it's got rhubarb, sage, garlic, ginger (I think), lemongrass (maybe). It's even better if you steam the duck first to get rid of some of the fat (though I know that's not the point here). It turns the skin all crispy

Stew and dumplings is another favourite. It's nearly lunchtime and I'm getting hungry

i fancy prawn crackers from the chippy

but i've got soft white chees and lettuce sarnies

v boring

Ice cream, all kinds of ice creame! Yummi!
And actually I love to be fat. It has some advantages.

As my lady puts it, when she is describing me:

In winter he keeps me warm, in summer he gives me a lot of shadow.

Ouzo, fat is an asset
