Binging with Babish: LOTR Special Part 2

[@babishculinaryuniverse]

Realizing I made the old Babishian mistake of not telling you how everything tasted! The standouts were the iced tea loaf (sweet, salty, fruity), the standing rib roast (that jus is out of control), french apple tart (super apple-y), salmon-leek tart (delectable, and I actually like the low amount of custard), and mince pies (startlingly delicious). There was room for improvement with the honeycakes (a little dry, but still delicious), salted pork (needed some more aromatics in the cure, and I prefer cures with pink curing salt, otherwise it's basically just less-interesting bacon), and seed cake (needed a frosting or other sweeter element - but the caraway seeds are an interesting addition to what's essentially a vanilla pound cake). Mashed potatoes are always great - rabbit stew is a little off-putting (has a slightly gamey flavor from the bones(?), and I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms cooked directly in a braise), and that pipe-weed was harsh as fuck. EDIT: Also, what was done with the leftovers! Jess and I tried to be extra-healthy in the two weeks leading up to this episode, including a little fasting day-of, so we could really gorge the night of its completion - we polished off about 1/6 of it. The roast beef was saved for sandwiches, the salmon-leek and apple tarts were revisited for breakfasts, the breads frozen for future snacking, the mince pies given to an Irish friend (along with some honeycakes). All-in-all, tried to minimize waste! But I have been doing cardio perpetually since.

Rabbit is really tricky to flavour well it can be over powered by harsh language. Best way I've had it was a Moroccan stew with pickled lemons.

[@BladeCrossEXE]

The salt in the Bunny Stew was a good idea, because if you watch the extended cut of Two Towers, they show that Sam brought some fancy salt from home in case they had an opportunity to prepare a roasted chicken, to which Frodo laughs, and appreciates how this journey still hasn't changed who Sam is at heart.

In the book he and Frodo enjoyed the stew! And "Po-tae-toes", much to my surprise, was actually in the book. Also since you mentioned Faramir; in the books he was a lot wiser and more understanding of their quest and the burden of Isildur's bane and also never took Frodo and Sam to Osgiliath, and didn't even take them away from their camp for several hours, rather he left some men behind to guard them, and when Faramir came back they talked briefly and then they all traveled to Henneth Annûn.

It's hilarious to me how many euphemisms there are for marijuana. I currently work in a garden store that's popular with people growing cannabis, and you can see a generational shift in how people refer to it. Older growers tend to refer to it by a euphemism, like "smoke", "stuff", "tomatoes", or "hemp", always with a lowered voice and averted eyes, since they're so used to it being illegal. Younger growers, on the other hand, will loudly and proudly tell you "Oh yeah, I'm growing marijuana/cannabis".
