What Kind of Foods do You Like to Cook? 1

I favor Tex-Mex and various cultures' versions of chili, like vindaloo or goulash. But my pride and joy are American chills no matter the variety. I especially like Texas and Cincinnati chili.
Anything old world, that can be cooked in cauldrons over a fire are also close to my heart.
You?

Anything spicy. I've had fun making palak paneer, an Indian dish with homemade cheese and pureed spinach. I'd like to make other Indian dishes such as tikka masala. I love that stuff.

Indian cooking is SO fun. Balancing those spices Westerners never use, or never use together.
You may like Thai cooking.

The only type of food that I enjoy cooking more than any other is BBQ/smoked stuff. I do cooking from all over the place though. When it comes to home cooking I prefer Mexican food, like real Mexican, not the American version. I tend to throw my own little spin on even traditional dishes though. I'll add in something that isn't really used but I think suits it well and caters more to my own personal tastes.
I also have my own style that I've developed over years by taking a little part of this recipe and a little part of that one. I often mix and match many little pieces of various recipes I've done over the years just by what feels right. I do most of my cooking without a recipe and just from my head. If I really nail something and love it (or my wife does) I'll write it down so I can repeat it later, but more often than not, I'm just flying blind and going by instinct or whim.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I believe saag paneer is the same dish as palak paneer.
It is delicious. I think I might make it tonight.

There are only two things I can cook well:
1. Jerk Chicken
2. Blue steak
Unsurprisingly, they are my two favourite foods ever, and I've spent years of trial and error mastering prepping and cooking them. Oh, and I'm always drinking a beer when making them.
However, I simply do not have the patience for cooking. Give me something (anything, preferably mechanical) broken to fix and I'll try and fix it and be very happy about doing so. But cooking? There's few things I'd rather do.

I'm gonna make some blue steak tonight and see what it's like.
I like to venture out and make some interesting stuff here and there but usually my taste in food is pretty simple. This is what I like

Fucking bang on 1 minute a side on hotter than hell heat. Works for any of the better cuts.
Most important bit: wrap the fucker in foil and let it sit somewhere warm for 5 minutes minimum. It took me years to get that last piece to the puzzle.

So hot enough to where the butter starts to smoke a bit or something like that? I always cook my steaks in some butter

Blue steak is actually cold at the middle?
Why am I tempted to try this?

Like, to the point where your pan is warping and the smoke alarm is going off cause of the smoke pouring from the pan even though there's nothing in it. You have to make it the hottest thing you can possibly imagine.
Seriously. If those two things are not happening, you're doing it wrong.
Oh, and fuck butter, it burns at waaaaaayyy too low a temperature. You need something with a high burn point like rice bran oil. Paint the steak, not the pan.

Because it's fucking amazing. It's not always cold in the middle, depends on the skill of the chef. A master will deliver it warm all the way through, but very definitely 90% raw.
Do you like Sashimi? It's very similar.

Have you never eaten raw meat? When you can do so and know that you're safe from food poisoning it truly is one of the most sublime experiences I know.
Fuck, I'd happily eat plates of raw meat and nothing else for the rest of my life if I could.
