Machine guns: a new stove top

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

Most of the stuff we write about here at Diners.org are normally cooked on a stove or normal kitchen appliance.  But we are always open to new and quite AWESOME ways to break out of the norm.

Apparently someone took the fact that the barrel of a machinegun heats up ALOT when you pull the trigger for any extended amount of time.  So… why not wrap the barrel with bacon strips in aluminum foil?

SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIENDS

We don’t recommend you cooking your bacon at home like this or bringing bacon strips to your local gun range.  Just saying.

Poor Man’s Pizza

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

I was over at a friend’s house to celebrate his birthday, this was right after my attempts with the winning entries, and I was explaining and describing the food that I had created. It was right after I finished talking about the desert for the last award winning meal that Nikki my good friend came in and said that there were a lot you could do with butter milk biscuits dough. She then began to describe what seemed like the most brilliant idea a poor college student would love. The poor man’s pizza as described by Nikki is a pizza dish created in under 25 minutes and costs less then $5.00 if done right, but leave you with a full stomach. This is a recipe that I have to try, and will do so on film soon, with prices included I want to attempt a Poor Man’s Pizza.

Stay tuned and Stay Healthy

The Maul of Vegan Slaying +10

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Life has a tendency to let you think you understand the limits and then break it over your head like a bar brawl from a bad TV movie.

Thanksgiving is already well established as a holiday to stuff your face without feeling guilty about it. At the center of this American holiday is the turkey which on average is a whooping 12 pounds of meat (well at my house anyway).

But thanks to the “ingenuity” of human society, we raised the stakes to the next level by stuffing MORE meat into the turkey. Known as the Turducken, this is the excessive merger of a turkey, duck, and chicken (if the subtle hints in the name weren’t clear enough).

While this already broke all etiquette for a proper and healthy diet, Corey James at “Bacon Today” has an article about the ultimate evolution of the Thanksgiving turkey: the TURBACONDUCKEN (Who would have guessed from a site called Bacon Today?).

Before you proceed, I must advise you that if you are on a diet or are offended by meat products, this is clearly not for you.

BEHOLD

That’s right.  What looks like a turkey molded out of bacon strips is actually three types of birds wrapped in bacon.  Yep, you take a chicken and wrap it in bacon, then stuff that into a duck and wrap it in bacon, and then finally you stuff that into a turkey while wrapping it in a last layer of bacon.

Sounds crazy huh?  To give you a better idea of the sheer amount of meat stuffed into this package, check out the image below.

I don't know about you but my cholesterol level jumped up by just looking at this picture.

According to them, that’s five pounds of bacon in there.  Five whole pounds of bacon.  Repeat that to you a few times.  I’m content after eating two strips with eggs, home fries, and some toast.

But I think, if we are going to go this far in breaking the norm, let’s go all the way.

Let’s squeeze this monstrosity between TWO RACKS of LAMB.  Then wrap that in bacon.  Then we need to STUFF this into a HORSE LEG.  I’m not sure how we’re going to accomplish that part but it needs to happen.  Then after we wrap THAT part with bacon, we are going to deep fry it.

The end result would probably have an aura to cause every vegan in a kilometer radius to cringe with unknown dread.

While this dish is not something you would want to try to prepare for your weekly Sunday dinner, it is definitely a feat you and your friends can try for your next really big gathering (like Thanksgiving or some enormous summer picnic!).
