Welcome to the Veeky Forums challenge: COLD MAIN DISH MEGA ALPHA EDITION.
>GET CHILLY MAH NIGGAS
That's right: COLD MAIN DISH. What does that mean? Well, if you can't figure this shit out you should probably stay away from the knives.
******* Dishes will be scored on the following areas, so keep that in mind.
-Presentation: The appearance of items on the plate; plating skills -Originality: Creativity in composing the dish -Appeal: How appetizing the food looks/whether or not the dish appeals to your personal taste as a voter -Challenge Goals: How closely the entry followed the challenge goal(s)
The distinction between Presentation and Appeal: If someone submits an artfully arranged but burnt steak as an entry, it may score high in Presentation but low in appeal. *******
Remember people, timestamp and unique identifiers. Stop forgetting damn you.
Results of last month will be posted soon, so keep your eyes open.
10th place: Anonymous' Elderberry Sour Ale @ 9.4/20
11th place: Ya Dingus' Pane Cheese Sandwich with Blueberry @ 6.2/20
Connor Parker
brb making a sandwich
John Richardson
It may be important to clarify if it should be cold, as in chilled, or just not hot. Otherwise it's going to be a club sandwich/caesar salad showdown.
Matthew Taylor
You've got a Point.
LISTEN UP YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARDS "COLD" MEANS COLD AS IN CHILLED
Just remember this handy phrase: "What's cooler than cool? My fucking entry!"
William Flores
Shredded-carrot jello molds for all!
Henry Garcia
I've got four ideas knocking around in my head:
Pork breast in aspic Tacchino tonnato (slices of braised turkey breast in tuna sauce) Hideg uborkafőzelék (chilled cucumber 'bisque,' similar to the better known Slavic dish okroshka, but blitzed smooth) Meggyleves (chilled cherry soup)
Jose Cruz
This is shake-kun, by the way.
Which of those four I go with depends on the availability of their respective ingredients.
Ayden Torres
Weird. I changed my trip but it came up as the same one as before. Lemme see how this new one looks.
Aiden Robinson
Looks good to me, my (wo)man.
Jason Flores

Jack Torres
Mamushka doll here. Thanks so much to everyone who voted. This challenge is a lot of fun and I'm grateful to be recognized. Thanks for keeping it alive, Numbaz.
Gabriel Smith
It occurs to me that I have been negligent in acknowledging our own very talented and supremely gangsta Webmfag. So, here's her excellent video trailer for the challenge as a whole. Shit's dope yo. youtu.be/Mo6KUNqdsz0?list=LL6WLjvbsvfw_MiEdoHBvGfA
Ethan Barnes
I will be making revenge! I claimed it!
Jonathan White
No problemo my pal-erino. But watch out for who seems hell-bent on VENGEANCE. >Seriously though, thanks for the entry and congratulations on your 1st place.
Benjamin Fisher
cold fried chicken is pretty good
Justin Fisher
While I'm at it, here's the Webm Tutorial for Verticals™
Joseph Sanchez
post the one for webms too!
Gavin Kelly
I'm ashamed as fuck to admit that I don't have that one kicking around. Sorry. I do, however, have the Webm Tutorial for Food Photography™ If anyone has the webm tutorial, please post it. And, as always >I love you
Juan Wood
Bah, I lost it somewhere. Where are you, WEBMFAG????
Grayson Rodriguez
Hmm what to make, maybe a really weird ice or something
Nolan Roberts
Just to clarify - would making a cold desert work? Or does it have to be a main dish?
Zachary Powell
>COLD MAIN DISH. >What does that mean? Well, if you can't figure this shit out you should probably stay away from the knives.
I think most deserts get cold at night naturally, so you don't really need to try to "make" it cold.
Decent bait, though.
Ryan Ramirez
Does it have to be served cold or cooked cold (i.e. without using high temperature)?
Andrew Adams
You have to cook it with cold. I believe most contestants will use either an anti-griddle or chamber vacuum to achieve the 5/5 points necessary for "challenge goals".
I'm in Estonia, phoneposting like a cancer. Back at it again with the oc in 2 weeks maybe.
I just ate some cold beetroot soup in Lithuania. I might recreate that for this month's entry. it's great - a little vinegary, heavy on the dill.
Lucas Flores
Hmm, pleb foods elevated to a gourmet standard... that sounds like a potential theme for some other month... >I used too many ...s >bugger >bump >bop
Blake Martinez
Gonna deep fry some chicken in some cold oil.
Dominic Ortiz
It has to be Served Chilled, cooking it is up to you. Remember, cold foods have to be seasoned a bit more aggressively. Get the fuck out of here Scalfani.
Jacob Baker
>dead last
I consider this an accomplishment, one which I will try to repeat this month
Dylan Clark
I believe in you and your toes.
Carson Brown
I love All of you Hurt by the cold So hard and lonely too When you don't know what you're going to be cooking. >vodka wheee!
Brayden Williams
2nd Place! That is pretty good. However, Numbaz, I have to say that you should post the full description of each person's entry as they wrote it, not your small description. Ya Dingus might have gotten a higher score if the full description was posted. All in all though, thank you for keeping the contest going. I'll make something "cooler than cool" this month.
Anthony Myers
Meh, someone has to come in last.
Jacob Turner
gib borneo back plz
William Hill
I'm sorry you feel that way, but Borneo is no longer available. >I did not kill her She might still be around, but her adorable pupper might still be needing constant care. Besides, aren't I good enough? >plz justify my existence
Isaac Price
I love you, drunky.
Baby, baby be mine tonight We'll take a flight and then we'll see That magic happens When you wish upon a Gravy Rainbow...
Racer X, you are a great way to laugh off the cheap rot-gut vodka. >I want your babies >in the butt
Alexander Parker
Glad to help.

Henry Stewart
That looks fucking dank. I've got dill growing >just one plant, the other two withered to shit, dill's a bit of a weak sister so I might be able to whip something similar up. Thanks, my Nigga. >tarragon is the weakest sister ever, it's a straight up bitch Phoneposting is not cancer, it's closer to tonsillitis. You's a foxy mama.
Ian Wilson
Salads count as cold right?
Michael Foster
So does one perfect canned kidney bean.
Wyatt Jones
Provided it is actually chilled, I don't see why not.
Connor Russell
How are we meant to pronounce your new incarnation? Newb Oz?
Xavier Hill
Fucking hell, thanks for noticing that I left off the "m" in "Numbaz", it's the most important letter in there.
Brandon Thompson
Cold pizza slice here I come
Jeremiah Jackson
At least make the pizza yourself before chilling it.
Jose Lopez
I fully admit that I dun goofed, so the format for the vote thread is going to be a bit different on my end to allow for each entry's creator's voice to really come through. Congrats on 2nd, bby.
Benjamin Kelly
I'm gonna bump into the fire (musical riff)
Juan Morales
Next year I'm considering putting up prizes. That way, after having ~8 months under my belt >ladies the contest under it's new drunken management can get back some of the legitimacy it had back when Hearts (pbuh) ran it. I love you glorious mob of muffins (that makes no sense and I don't care) and want you buggers to feel appreciated.
Isaiah Parker
Haven't listened to that since the mid 80's but I knew what it was immediately. Strangely enough, it's been in my head for a couple days. We must be on the same "cycle".
But anyways, look what I just found in my nostalgia drawer (not folder, desk drawer). Think it was the first vinyl I ever bought.
John Miller
I'm not gay.
Cooper Lee
Bumped up
Cameron Brown
Numbaz, I feel that should elaborate more on the challenge. Right now it is too obscure in the ruleset. Like for example this Lithuanian soup - it doesn't have to be chilled, room temperature is what you get in most cases. You don't even have to put it in the fridge, just finish placing the ingredients, mix and serve. I know I have a language barrier and all, but I can't be the only one who needs little more guidelines.
Asher Stewart
Obviously, I'm not Numbaz, but I'm pretty sure the rules to previous challenges apply to this challenge as well: do what you want and try to justify why it fits into the challenge when you post it. Worst voters can do is give you a zero in the 'goals' rating which, if you ace the other categories, will still put you in the top three if last month's rankings are any indication.
I wouldn't think anyone would get pissy about there the soup is meant to be served at room temperature or at fridge temperature so long as it's not warm/hot. I certainly wouldn't, at least.
Of course, you could always make a sandwich and while that will follow the challenge goals 100%, you'd get a goose egg for originality. See what I mean?
tl;dr, you do you, boo.
Blake Thompson
Bump and grind
Caleb Turner
I'm aiming on a chilled blueberry soup with peaches pecans and spiced yogurt adapted from The French Laundry Cookbook. I may have too many cookbooks. I am beginning to run out of shelf space. It is a good problem to have.
Christian Flores
Exclusive preview of my elite rethinking of a classic American dish on this year's wonderful Fourth of July.
Nathaniel Torres
At first I thought that was a tortoise... Gladly, I was wrong. >I wonder what tortoise tastes like
Bentley Richardson
I'll answer my own question. >it tastes just like dog food smells >(probably) delicious!
Michael Smith
Bingly Beepily Bump
Adam Howard
Oy vey, its anudda bumpah!
Hunter Jenkins
Bumpan
Matthew Jones
I think I have an idea for this. I'll make it tomorrow.
William Johnson
I will literally love you long time.
Tyler Campbell
Bumpin' from page 9.
Christopher Campbell
fug, this was meant for
Jacob King
Bumpan for cold weather.
Isaac Perez
Next year there will be a bit more focus on my end on the points. Because what do points mean? Prizes. And a bumperino for the threadily do.
Ian James
Ok, here's my entry. Japanese food works pretty well with the theme, and I settled on cold soba noodles with a cold ginger-soy dipping broth. I served it with hot orange peel herbal tea.
It wasn't bad. I don't think I'd be mad if I ate it again, but I tend to prefer hot meals.
Juan Richardson
Thanks for the entry. What should I call you with your... red cow(?) identifier?
Liam Gonzalez
It's an akabeko
Kayden Martin
Akabeko it is, and Akabeko you are. Good on ya, m800. The long time loving will have to be negotiated at a later date.
Nathan Brown
Curses! I was gonna go against my announcements earlier ITT and go the Japanese route, too.
I'm planning to make pressed cod sushi with red and green perilla since perilla plants have taken over my back garden and this gives me an excuse to use them. What else can I use perilla leaves for besides Japanese food? It just grows wild here and in no short supply. It's drowned out my parsley and lovage.
Robert Long
>What else can I use perilla leaves for besides Japanese food?
They're great as a wrap for KBBQ. But if you're japanese or diehard weeb, that may flip some triggers. The antagonism between japan and korea is palpable.
Jayden Scott
I'm certainly not Japanese and I'm in no way a weeb, so I'm okay with whatever use you can come up with although the green perilla aren't large enough for KBBQ wraps.
Luke Barnes
You can still be turning japanese >I really think so The votes will decide, and the voters will deride This is Veeky Forums, after all, we are all autismal cunts
Brayden Cook
p'shaw. we're growing together.
Looks good! Great idea.
No idea what I'm gonna do, but cold pork wontons with spicy sauce sound kinda good to me. So does cold leftover fried chicken. DESU most of the food I cook gets eaten cold because I'm too drunk to eat the food I made so I wake up and eat the plate I made from last night and it's cold and shit run on sentence. /blog
John Lee
Your words flow like poetry. Bump.
Justin Clark
I'll be waiting expectantly.
Right on, sounds good!
Thanks! Hmmm... Maybe some sort of purposely cold pizza or chicken dish?
Christopher Jackson
My words flow like a glistening golden stream A stream with a relatively high amount of gold flakes in it, what did you think I meant? Was it something crass? What would possibly make you think I, an absolute drunken cunt, would ever be crass?
Xavier Baker
>Light The first picture, the "bad" one, is better because you can see more. Can't see shit in the second one. Better the first one with some post-processing than the second one where it just looks like you're holding a black void in your hand.
Jackson Morales
>going against Webmfag You are clearly some sort of fag. Then again, we're all fags here. >and we can never leave Captcha is "close muhammadiyah" >seriously?
Damn I miss when Nintendo had a marketing department. Although Cooking Mama was fucking adorable. >no I won't share my r34 folder of her, that's for me and me alone Bump
