got a Weber Smokey Mountain a few weeks ago.

Last weekend I smoked my first beef brisket. With my homemade bbq sauce, it was phenomenal and easy:

I've made a HOT curry but I might some chips to go with it later.

BB,do they have any Greek type cusine in your neck of the woods?Just had a gyro & stuffed grape leaves,just love that Greek food.I finaly found a decent Mexican restaurant here in TX,you'd think there'd be a lot of them but NO.The Mexicans here cook like gingos!The little "hole in the wall" place I was at saturaday had good Mexican style pork stew,called "Guisado de Puerco".Only place that I found that has it!It seems if its not barbacue or Tex Mex beef ,these rednecks here think pork & lamb are a dirty word!

Oh I really want to go to the NWI-Chicago area in the summer for the Greek ,Serbian, & Croatian fests,they make barbacued lamb to absolutely die for!Most hillbillies here never even tasted lamb!If its not beef or fried chicken,they think its poisonous!

Yes we do. Some nice Greek restaurants and kebab shops. Contrary to popular belief we Irish don't just eat potatoes. I like Lebanese food alot.

Friday night is junk food night. Thinking half pounder burger with bacon and cheese. Oh, and fries. American place near me; and yes the guy that owns it is a yank. So he knows his burgers.

For lunch today I am having what is commonly called an "Italian" sub. It contains Genoa salami, ham, capicola, and pepperoni. The meat is heated up on a flat top griddle, a couple of slices of mozzarella are added, then put into a toasted hoagie/sub roll, and topped with lettuce, tomato, and oil&vinegar dressing.

Yummie!

I can recommend the eating in Ireland, but make sure you really want to eat before you go out, the Irish do not understand the term portion control! A small portion to an Irish waiter means half a side of beef instead of the full one, and the quality is fantastic.

if you ever get a job in Jeddah BB, there is a Lebanese restaruant, built on a pontoon over the Red Sea, where you can sit, watch the crystal clear water and eat the best Lebanese food you can imagine!

But in the real world I love my Whoppers, but can anyone tell me, when I was last in Canada I remember, I am sure having an enormous one which they don't sell over here, anyone tell me what its called?

First time I went to the USA I went to New York. We were in a bar and ordered a sandwich I had never seen one so big. It also came with fries. It was very nice, cheese, salami and pickles. Ketchup with the fries. I'm hungry now.

An attempt to duplicate an excellent local commercial product, based on a recipe the cook/owner got from her mother-in-law:


1 cup coarsely chopped red onion
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 chopped jalepeno... or, buy a jar of sliced jalepeno peppers packed in water/vinegar and use 4-6 of the sliced rings... more if you like it hotter
3-6 garlic cloves
About 1 lb fresh tomatoes, coarsely chopped
Put all ingredients into food processor/blender and mince, DON'T PUREE!

ADD:
3 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
1/4 tsp salt
About another 1 lb fresh tomatoes, finely chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp of ground chile powder (1 each of 2 different kinds is very nice)
1 tbsp vinegar - balsamic or distilled white
About 1/3 cup of juice/water from a can of whole or chopped tomatoes.

Stir well into first mixture and chill overnight. Do not touch before then!
Works very well as a tortilla chip dip, or even better in burritos.

When I first moved to then-time-warped Northern California, 1985, there was a hole-in-the-wall joint serving hippie Mexican food. Their burritos were either shredded chicken w/brown "Spanish" rice, or shredded beef & black beans... with cheese & lettuce, slathered with a very generous helping of salsa, and wrapped in a BIG flour tortilla. Additions galore available: sour cream, black olives, guacamole, etc., etc...

Salsa could be "Mild"(this recipe), "Medium", or "Hot"(and they weren't kidding). If you want it hotter, just add more jalepeno or some crushed red pepper. BTW, They now feature a 4th choice called "Death Paste" (shudder!).
