Jet_Engine1 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 50 minutes ago, munchmemory said: I'm from Italian folks who existed on almost nothing during before WWII. They foraged things like chestnuts, wild scallions and garlic, dandelion greens, mushrooms, edible flowers, etc. So always maintained the "cucina povera" ethic. I try to shop intelligently so as to not let food spoil or go to waste. Even if lettuce or other greens start to wilt, I'll quickly sauté them with a bit of garlic, salt and olive oil. I wasn't joking above about looking for old mushrooms and bananas at the supermarket. The older mushrooms are great for stews and pasta. The flavor is more concentrated. And I get a bag of old bananas for almost nothing when I make banana bread. This skillset will become very useful soon the way things are going. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid, I can remember my friends thinking we were nuts cutting dandelion greens for salad. Before they flowered, of course. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurnleyJet Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Perhaps the most polarising player currently on the Jets roster. Personally for me, he’s lost a lot of good will and has something to prove before I’m back on the Becton bandwagon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concept had gone out of favor of late as it was thought to encourage overeating. Ohhh man. If you had just said "out of flavor" that would have been a chef's kiss moment for you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how many of the "peasant dishes" my folks made are now expensive in top restaurants. Back in the 60s, our butcher would give my parents all the veal shanks they wanted for free as most folks had no idea what to do with them. Now they're ridiculously expensive. All I will tell you is that they would use those shanks to make osso bucco in a ragu with porcini mushrooms which was incredible. Served over polenta, another peasant dish. Just give me spaghetti with garlic and oil with some Parmesan cheese on top piece of nice crusty semolina and that’s all I need. Dam I love that stuff 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballLove Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 One guy who hasn't given up on Becton is Joe Douglas, who drafted a DB with some of this year's top tackles still on the big board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dam I love that stuff Same. I make it at least once a week. If I have a piece of leftover chicken or sausage I’ll slice it up and put it in the garlic and oil. Another favorite when it’s summer time is slicing up a few nice tomatoes, drizzle them with olive oil, slice some garlic and put some fresh basil on top. Let it sit for a while, then go to town on it with a nice crusty bread 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Werblin Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Very excited about Becton’s return. His shirt, the attitude, the confidence all make me feel pretty good about him this season. Also, listening to him makes me suspect he’s a much brighter guy than many imagine. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addage Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Arguing about Becton is like arguing about theism/atheism. The only real answer for both is: I don't know and you don't either! The good news is, we'll get the answer to Becton in training camp. I willing to wait on the religion part. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
