I continue to be impressed by one of my Becker knives in the kitchen. It does really well with cutting up big chunks of meat. See if you can spot it in this video:

Burrito and Becker related trivia: Mr. Becker doesn't like cilantro.
 
That's a good one, AIG. I'm going to give this a try tomorrow. You haven't steered me wrong yet with one of your recipes.
 
Even though the portion of the video showing the knife was playing faster than an F-14, it looked like a BK5. Nice recipe.
 
I was about to continue with a Bong and Blintz or a Pipe and a Pancake. It seems to fall in with a Becker and a Burrito.
 
Nice BK5 (Fisked, it looked to me). I nearly lost my drink all over the computer when i saw that pug watching you in FFW, that was just hilarious.
 
Well, you can't have a burrito without cilantro... it's not right.
I guess I'm not looking through Joy for my next Mexican recipe.

He's right. Cilantro sucks. It is evil.

It has no legitimate use on this - or any other - planet.

Cilantro has one purpose, and one purpose only, and that's to mess up good food. It serves no other purpose. None.

Cilantro is pukeweed, cilantro is evil, and only psychotic, drooling, socially stunted misfits eat it. (And so do kindergarteners who who stick crayons up their nose. They eat it too.)

The mere mention of cilantro here in the Becker forum is cause for banning. Posting a picture of cilantro will result in you having your top layer of skin scraped off with a dull United Cutlery Kommando, dipped in Tobasco, then dragged around the Bonneville salt flats for a day.

Dang. Now I need to be sedated again. You guys need to shut up about cilantro.

I gotta go -I need to go find me some coriander to burn up with my flamethrower.

You pathetic, psychotic, drooling, socially stunted misfit. You have my pity.

Beckers, cast iron and pork - The Holy Trinity! :D This thread is full of win! Thanks for sharing this AIG!
 
Ha Ha. He said BUTT! My 5 and 8 year olds would be laughing too. Mere mention of that word would make my 8 year old launch into farting sounds.

BTW - I like cilantro in the right recipes.
 
I'm a cilantro fan. Mr. Becker also does not like green bell peppers, which I could not live without in a lot of my cooking.

no cilantro, bell pepper, or cast iron - but still very tasty!
 
Thanks for the vid AIG. I showed this to my wife and we both want Chipolet now.


By the way....what's with the guy upstairs complaining about cilantro? I mean passionate about spices is one thing but come on....
 
1 cup of jalapeno sour cream and 1 can green enchilada sauce stirred together.

another one I like a lot is: 8 oz mushrooms, 1 small onion chopped, 8 oz of chopped spinach slightly cooked) and a pint of sour cream.
saute mushrooms & onion, toss spinach in with them for a minute at the end to wilt/sweat it, then toss everything in the blender with the sour cream.
 
Not a huge fan of Mexican food but that looks really good and the Becker content definitely helps! :thumbup:

Those both sound like good sauces. I'm not sure I've seen jalapeno sour cream in the store, but I know how to improvise some. :)

That was me. I was just trollin'. :D

I really don't mind cilantro that much, but I usually make sure that it's not put on any of my food when we eat out. Several years ago, for my birthday, we went to a little hole-in-the-wall Taqueria in the Mission of San Francisco, I ordered, then went to the restroom. My "friends" made sure the lady making my burrito (who didn't speak English very well) put lots of extra cilantro on it, then had an extra plate of cilantro delivered to the table while we ate. They even garnished my horchata with cilantro, the bastards. :rolleyes: :grumpy:

Ever since then, my dislike of cilantro has been a source of jokes, harassment, & general disrespect for several years now. I get an "official" letter form the Coriander-of-the-Month club on my birthday each year; emails that a new law has passed that employers will now start urine-testing for cilantro consumption, with a note that I shouldn't have anything to worry about; things like that.

They have to be nice to me though. I cook better Mexican food than anyone else here.

averageiowaguy - great vid. :thumbup:
