Experimenting on foods.

Burrito with garlic salami + a can of smoked sprats, heated up in microwave.

+ a can of smoked rats

I didn't have any rat available.


I used chicken and cabbage for my tacos.

There went something wrong in my comment. I meant "sprats".

I'm open minded. Maybe it's a food I didn't know about.


Today's leftovers. Chicken, beef, tomato, pepper. All the same when I put it in a Taco.

Sausage, shrimp, fake crab meat, tomato, avocado, cucumber........ What this really is, is taco toppings.

No. I have no idea what I'm doing. That's why this is an experiment. I've been Chinese my whole life. Most of that time, eating Chinese food. But I really don't know how to make it. I just experiment.

To be honest, I don't really prefer to experiment with food. I like standard recipes that are recognized all over the world.

Roast pork. Potato. Noodles. It was what I had. The experiment was putting it all together. Sometimes you eat hash browns for dinner.

Chinese food is an experiment. Just about any vegetable can be stir fried, and I call it Chinese food. Chinese food of the day is eggplant & peppers, and meatloaf. A foot long meatloaf.​

Leftover meatloaf, kimchee, and egg.

It's known that "Chinese Food" in The USA, is nothing like what Chinese people eat in China. We just make it up as we go along. Sometimes it's not bad. It's all an experiment.


This is my Chinese food experiment with a rib roast. I debone the roast, then tie it back together. Instead of a metal roasting rack, the meat sits on a bed of carrots, celery, onions, and garlic. This collects the drippings as the meat cooks. I later make it into a sauce. The next day, I reheat the leftover bones and trimmings.

When you're experimenting with food, Irish American food becomes Chinese American food. Even if it has Korean American kimchi. And I am officially declaring that instant noodles are an American food.​

A fellow (deceased nearly a decade ago) was a flawed character in many ways, but the mofo could cook.
His basic take on beef was that the less costly cuts were generally tougher but more flavorful if cooked properly.
That’s the one thing I most miss about him — picking his brain for cooking techniques. No fancy culinary training and gee-whiz gadgets for him, just a lifetime of feeding groups of people large and small (he did cook professionally on a few occasions, including aboard ship) on limited budgets.
He took pleasure in feeding people. It made him feel appreciated.

You (well, anyone really) can call it whatever you like, completely make up the country's name that it (allegedly) came from, present it with fireworks and a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20, and I'll probably eat it as long as I recognize it. For example, everything in that photo looks delicious, and I'd eat it unless it tasted like paint thinner.
