Authentic is less important than delicious. It’s great to learn the history and tradition around the food you enjoy, but not knowing or not following that tradition doesn’t make your food any less valid or tasty
I’ve been to China and authentic Chinese food is delicious, but American Chinese food is also delicious. Same goes for authentic indian curry vs UK curry. Delicious food is delicious, simple as that.
It is 100% medium rare by texture, color, and temperature. My wife prefers medium-rare bordering on medium, and this roast was acceptable to her. She strongly dislikes rare beef.
I chose between a couple easy color correction filters on my phone, and this gave the best overall representation of the meal. It made the color a little too red, but my other choice made it a little too brown/beige and sucked the color out of the scene.
Yeah I’ve seen some purist Italians talk about pizza on YouTube. Definitely very different (and more tasty) than the pizza I make at home with my family. 😅 Wish I had a stone oven or even room for one of those small modern ovens, to make good pizza in.
Just FYI, this really isn’t charcuterie though. Charcuterie is specifically about prepared meats. You can have other stuff on a charcuterie board, but normally just some things to compliment the meats.
On the other hand, so many people have been misusing the word for a while now that the definition is starting to accommodate arrangements like yours.
There is some charcuterie on there, mostly random Italian stuff and a little kabanos. We’re trying to be healthy though, so there’s also some roast chicken breast. But turnabout’s fair play, and I have a Wikipedia article too:
Yours has the same definition as mine, and even links to the same page, but then says:
However, according to food historian Sarah Wassberg Johnson, charcuterie also has its roots in the simple meals that had been eaten by laborers of the working class throughout Europe since the medieval period, often consisting of meats, cheeses, bread, local produce, and wine or beer.
That’s one I’ve never seen, and the citation is the opinion of a single person without reference. If you Google the definition, you’re going to mostly find that it’s prepared meats, with some places saying the definition has evolved to include other stuff.
And I said it was nice looking food. Thought you might be interested about the use of the word. Was anything that I said argumentative? Feel free to ignore.
Looks like Giordanos, which is fine, but I generally don’t recommend since it’s very saucy and the crust is bleh. Try Lou Malnati’s next time — it’s far superior
Anyone know a good spot in NYC to get one? We got one of the chains in times sq but I’d reckon Chicago people wouldn’t recommend them just like we’d not recommend Sbarro’s.
Every time I see a Chicago Deep Dish, I’m like yo I’d try that as an unique experience.
