I think this should be called "Firebox Food" so it fits any steamer.

[@Ilikefire2793]

I'm just worried about coal dust getting in the food, making it unsafe to eat.

[@jesseusgrantcanales]

@@Ilikefire2793 He is aware and that is why he cooks over a smaller flame, when the engine is idle, dust is kicked up when it is moving, when idle the flame is more neutral and providing heat.

T-19 tavern is a great name

[@robertbalazslorincz8218]

T-19 Tavern seems fitting considering the reputation of the RGS and schnapps.

[@hamiltonsullivan6563]

Agreed... kind of roles of the tounge too!

[@LogicalNiko]

I'd recommend going to the machine shop and getting two tools made/adapted for future kitchen videos. One, a long skewer that you can both use to poke through food you want to roast on the fire, and manipulate/stir things on the shovel. Second, a very long set of tongs. Both things that which I think could be adapted from existing railway tools (like a pinch point crowbar, rail spike tongs...a tine ballast fork could also be useful to put things on). Also hot scoop, cold oil, means food doesn't stick. A classic wok cooking method is to coat the surface with oil. Then put it into the fire till the oil exceeds its smoking point. Then pour out and discard the hot oil. You then add fresh cold oil and the food. The carbon layer deposited from the hot smoking oil helps continually form a thin non-stick coating. Then between batches you add water and heat it till heavily boiling (this cleans the pan and helps loosen any oil deposits that are no longer adhered to the pan well) and then you repeat the entire process. I'd probably also recommend against normal butter because of the high heat. Clarified butter (Ghee), lard, or avocado oil would be your best bet to not instantly flash over/burn.

So... a small idea, considering what I'm having for dinner tonight: how well do you think a coal scoop in the firebox would do for making tandoori chicken? Possibly difficult to do, based on my experience of struggling to get the spices for it in the US, but I don't know, maybe worth a try? Satisfies the shop guys' need for meat, and fairly easy to do - it's mostly prep time with the spices that might take the work - the rest of it is just cooking the chicken in the firebox.

[@Hyce777]

That could be a fun one... I do love tandoori chicken

[@onecleangti]

Tandoori chicken in a brick pot would be super sweet!

[@nerfspartanEBF25]

"It's the wrong kind of organic for what you want" I maintain that plastic is technically organic because it comes from oil which comes from ancient plants/animals.

[@nickhovey261]

I mean, historically steam cylinder oil is compounded with animal fat (typically beef tallow)... I wasn't TOTALLY off-base! 😂

[@AlchemistCH]

From a chemist's perspective, nearly everything carbon-based is organic. And do not ask me about organic food - it's definitely all organic, apart from H2O, NaCl and carbonates

Always a pleasure to virtually visit the shop with you and the crew. And Jeff’s organic comment made for quite the giggle! The tacos looked delish. Many thanks Mark for another excellent episode and looking forward to seeing what you’ll be cooking next. Cheers to you Professor!

If you get a hold of a larger engine, stoker plates make an excellent cooking surface. You can even shut the firebox door.

[@someNewYorkCentralfan]

TBH those are some accurate tacos, even if the tortilla isn't a circle you did a good try. And since you kinda added cheese to it, you can consider it as a quesadilla.

I'd so love to see you do a Thanksgiving Special but for what your fellow Shop crews and Trainmen prefer you'd probably need both 491 & 20 to cook Turkey, Potatoes, Gravy, Stuffing, Cornbread, and a nice Pumpkin Pie. You might need 318 for some extra help since 346 is away. But that would be a riot to see a Thanksgiving special.

[@TheOneTrueDragonKing]

Wow, great video once again Hyce. And although I dislike the non-train-related sponsors (you're a train guy who does cooking shows, not the other way around!) I get why you need 'em. Now, I do have a food-related question... how the ever-loving [steam whistle] did you get the inside of those peppers so clean?! When I try and carve out a pepper, I never seem to leave just the outer flesh. I always end up with at least a few seeds, some of the veins or rind, something other than pepper exterior left behind. That being said, I agree with others about the T-19 Tavern name but like someone else says, be careful about the FRA and Rule G! Ooh, I just had an idea - a collab between you and Max Miller of @TastingHistory !

[@Alteram]

Probably would have worked pretty well if your mix was ground beef, chopped peppers, and bits of cheese, fry it up on the scoop and dump it onto the taco. Ground beef juices might have helped the cheese from sticking so much to the bottom of the scoop. Anyway, K37 Kitchen is probably one of my favorite cooking shows ever.

Which then just becomes "what would cooking with one of those youtube chefs be like?" But even then, just on your own, winging it, _you don't need the help!_ If I could handle the heat, and if there was anything more local to me, I'd _love_ to try cooking something on a Steam Locomotive.
