Beef Tallow
It’s actually forbidden to wash eggs in Europe, they are never refrigerated and neither does anyone anywhere keep eggs in the fridge. You do get a feather and some chickenshit stuck on them occasionally but hey!- karam

Beef Tallow
You can find this technique the world over. Up until the point where keeping and slaughtering farm animals at home became illegal in Greece pig slaughtering would be a big family day, lard would be rendered in a big cast iron pot and meat not smoked/made into sausages would be cut into strips...- karam

Anyone Play Video Games?
After clearing Dark Souls 2 - a great game getting a ton of undeserved hate - I started up Lies of P, as if I didn't have enough of FromSoftware and soulslikes. It is great, it's almost if it took everything that's good about Dark Souls, Sekiro and Bloodborne and put together in a polished final...- karam

Pick 5 Countries. Who from each makes/made the Best Pipes Under 500$?
I mean this one is a real beauty! -
Pick 5 Countries. Who from each makes/made the Best Pipes Under 500$?
Eh, possibly because it's easy? You go on a website, few clicks and few days later and you have it. My best smoker is my very first pipe, a Savinelli 106 bought 15+ years ago, it's the simplest of the simple billiards, cost ~$45 and smokes perfectly. It's also my tasting pipe. I also agree with... -

Easy: Italy - Savinelli US - Missouri Meerschaum France - Butz-Choquin Ireland- Peterson They are all inexpensive, reliable, well-made, good smokers. -
What are You Watching? [2025] Please Rate 1-5
Black Doves on Netflix, 3.5/5. Well-made, plenty of jokes and plenty of gore. My issues with it were that it does that thing which builds this supposedly “bigger than we are” story, with WW3 potential and then winds it down clumsily and abruptly. For masterclass English unwinding of complex...- karam

Greek Easter Memories
Same for my grandma, she'd get meat on the day it was to be cooked. Fish was always cooked within hours from being caught, there was a fisherman who used to drive around the villages early in the morning selling last night's catch. My one caveat here is that Greeks have forgotten that meat needs...- karam

Greek Easter Memories
Oh yeah, I asked my aunt for a few of my grandma's recipes and they are all written for someone who knows what to do, like: "500g flour, 2 eggs, half cup sugar, orange, half cup oil". My wife's Serbian grandma makes the most amazing bread I ever tasted, it's light, sweetish, very flexible...- karam

Greek Easter Memories
As I can't edit I wanted to leave this here: It's good to talk about failed attempts though too, many years after us kids grew up and scattered to different countries/cities, grandmas had passed away and uncle Nick had health problems (he died last year, sadly) the (now aging) parents had no...- karam

Greek Easter Memories
Eh, I like roast lamb but the memory is that by the time it was ready to eat nobody had any appetite left. Personally I prefer mutton to lamb for depth of flavour, lamb is a bit bland for my taste. My dad would always say that the wisdom of the feast is that young lambs/goats are good to eat...- karam

Great stuff, I know Pashka but never made it. What's the reasoning for eating shellfish during lent? As I wrote my grandma said they can be eaten "because they don't have blood", but then again milk doesn't either :)- karam

Greek Easter Memories
What do you guys do in Spain? Easter for me just isn't the same in a city and even though I am a city boy by birth, my heart was always in the countryside. The Epitaph parade is done in Athens too, but it's different in the village where people come out to walk with it, you say hi and shake...- karam

Greek Easter Memories
The Easter food thread inspired me to go a bit @Briar Lee and write a ruminating, winding post to expand on Greek Easter. For Greeks Easter is the most important religious holiday of the year, followed by the Assumption. Leading up to Easter there's of course Lent, with varying levels of...- karam

Easter! What are you doing?
Not in the motherland so not doing anything in particular, however I want to cook something special which I've wanted to for years as Easter is very close to my wife's birthday: Pig's Trotters, Pierre Koffmann. I'll also be making Tsoureki and a coconut and lime cream pie. Even if we were in...- karam
