 		[UPDATE] Sentinel Aug 13: VFE Mixed-Up Meal/ Nuru to Analyse
Quote:
View From Earth: Mixed-Up Meals
By VINCENT 'KALT' MALLEY AND PFC. PETER WALKER
The Sentinel readership from Earth tuned in recently, likely wearing expressions of shock or bemusement, to the Sentinel article "Restaurants Embrace Earth Cuisine." An Earth reader may have reacted first in horror and surprise to the recipes mentioned, then wondered how well the altered recipes actually work - for example, substituting Korean kimchee for German sauerkraut as a hot-dog topping.

Many people on Earth would find such a combination distasteful at first, especially considering the strong aroma of kimchee - as Brian Enigma once said, "When opening a jar of kimchee, make sure you're surrounded by people who a] really like you or b] really hate you, as anyone in the middle ground will quickly gravitate towards the latter group."

It might likewise be said of certain other Earth dishes, such as haggis (a Scottish dish, composed of a sheep's stomach which has been thoroughly cleaned, which is then stuffed with offal [also thoroughly cleaned] and boiled slowly, and is often served with mashed turnips, often called 'neeps').

Still, there is merit in learning how to prepare gourmet foods the way they are culturally made. Though the Perplexian take on Earth cuisine may be altered, for better or worse, Earth readers would like to teach Perplex City how to prepare their favourite dishes. Let us give you a few examples, gathered from our friends around the globe:

Konamouse's Macaroni and Cheese
Ingredients:
1/4 cup (60g) butter
1/4 cup (60g) flour
2 cups (240mL) milk
1 teaspoon (5g) salt
2 cups (480g) elbow macaroni, cooked
2 cups (480g) shredded cheddar cheese

Cooking Instructions:

1. Mix together butter, flour, milk & salt over low heat (do not let milk get too hot) to make a white sauce.

2. Add 1 1/2 cup (360g) shredded cheddar cheese; stir until melted.

3. In 2 quart (1.8L) casserole, place 1 cup (240g) cooked elbow macaroni, cover with half of the cheese sauce, then repeat. Top with remaining 1/2 c shredded cheese.

4. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for 25 minutes.

Walker's Sparerib Roast
Ingredients:
2 pounds (1kg) beef spareribs
1 cup (240mL) barbecue sauce
Hot pepper sauce to taste (optional)

Cooking instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit (230 degrees Celsius)

2. If using hot pepper sauce, combine the barbecue sauce with the hot pepper sauce.

3. Using a spoon or pastry brush, apply the barbecue sauce to the spareribs and place them on a wire rack in a deep roasting pan.

4. Place spareribs in oven. Cook 36-40 minutes, removing halfway through to turn and apply more barbecue sauce.

Note: The time provided above will ensure that the ribs are rare. Cook longer if you prefer medium or well-done.

Reason's Beans On Toast
Ingredients:
1 tin Heinz beans
2 slices of bread
Grated cheese (optional; Cheddar is recommended)
Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Whatever spices are lurking in the cupboard (essential)

Cooking instructions:

1. Heat the beans in a saucepan over medium heat.

2. While the beans are warming, toast the bread.

3. Add spices to the heated beans (Reason recommends chili powder); mix well

4. Place toast on plate; pour beans over toast.

5. Top with grated cheese and Worcestershire sauce, if desired.

(Reason also adds this disclaimer: "If planning to meet with important people - Dr Sente Kiteway, Michiko Clark, Eoin Morgan, or your girlfriend's parents - do not consume this dish prior to the meeting, as unfortunate flatulent side effects may occur.")

The places where these dishes are made are often thousands of kilometres separated from each other. This lends to keeping certain flavors and certain types of ingredients to certain, specific types of meals, which is why the Sentinel readers from Earth were mostly surprised by the use of kimchee on a hot dog, and curry on an enchilada. However, if it works, and it works well, the Perplexian take on old Earth recipes may be able to offer improvements to all our dining lifestyles.

 		Say, uhm, which one is Mac and which one is Kalt? going by the name of the image, "Walker" is on the left, and "Malley" is on the right. But I wouldnt know either of em fFrom adam.

(If indeed that is Mac on the left, it makes me laugh lots. Tanner's always on about him being this, you know, military agent .. and here he looks like a bit of a hippy Laughing )
