Welcome to the Veeky Forums challenge: Vote Thread: Chilly Chilly Yum Yum Edition

Welcome to the Veeky Forums challenge: Vote Thread: Chilly Chilly Yum Yum Edition

****

The theme for this month was Chilled Main Dish

****

Dishes are judged on the following criteria, so keep that in mind when voting:

-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.

While you're voting, or not voting, why not suggest a theme for next month?
Then people can vote on that, or not.

Entry The First by Akabeko

>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.

Entry The Second by Spice Jar

>Roasted beef tenderloin sliders (medium rare) with blue cheese and wild mushroom espagnole sauce, coconut crusted shrimp, extra thin waffle fries, all served cold.

>yes it's from a restaurant
>yes it's from the restaurant i work at
>yes i made everything, from start to finish (aside from the slider buns)
>yes it is actually cold
>yes, it would probably be better hot

>I'm back on the line and don't have the time or energy to make an at-home entry these days, but when servers fuck up an order and we have extra food I often wrap it up, stash it in the lowboy, and eat it cold for dinner when I get home, after a few drinks - 5-6 nights a week. My philosophy is that if a server fucks up an order and I have to make it twice, that first fuck-up is going to me, not FoH.

Suggesting potatoes for the next theme.

Entry The Third by Ya Dingus

>For your consideration, I would like to present my interpretation of perhaps the most prevalent "chilled dish" in classic American Cuisine.

>Behold my irregular yet elite slice of wood-fired pepperoni pizza. Homemade dough, chilled overnight, then topped with only the most premium Newman's Own Fra Diavolo, Boar's Head Mozzarella, some kind of turkey pepperoni, and parmesean crumbly. Fired in a ~800 wood burning pizza oven, this is perfect pizza was then chilled in the back of my fridge for 3 days before being consumed early Friday morning as I was on my way to work.

Entry The Fourth by Snowman

>Here's my entry, my favorite summertime meal, tuna pasta salad. Works great for a standalone meal salad, or as a side dish. Quick and easy to make.

>Made with spaghetti, onions, garlic, bell pepper and tomatoes. Covered with a dressing of mayo, cream, oil, mustard, pesto and soy sauce, along with some herbs to taste.

Entry The Fifth by Georgiafag

>Here is my entry.
>Pimento Cheese and Bacon Deviled Eggs
>Made with handmade mayo, Austrian beer mustard, extra sharp cheddar, egg yolks, pimentos, etc.
>The acid in the mayo is 2 parts lemon juice to 1 part champagne vinegar.
>The seasoning topping is a creole seasoning made with smoked paprika.

>Yes, it is a main dish. I just ate the whole plate of them for dinner.

Entry The Sixth by Franz Liszt

>I wanted to try something I haven't worked with before, SO:
>Mango habanero frog legs & coconut calamari salad.

>For the marinade
>Blend mango, pineapple and papaya chunks (2/3 cups each)
>3tbsp soy sauce
>3tbsp habanero sauce
>2tbsp honey
>Salt, pepper, ginger, garlic
>Baked the legs & seasoned with dill, then left to chill (2hrs)

>For the salad
>Take 1 pound of calamari, cleaned & sliced into rings
>Clean and julienne 2 serranos and 2 fresnos
>Mix 1/3 cup lime juice, 2tbsp coconut milk, 1tbsp fish oil, 1tbsp honey, 2tbsp olive oil, ~1/2 cup spring onions,
>Put it all in a bowl & let soak for 2-3 hrs in fridge
>Drain & sautee
>Empty contents of pan into bowl of arugula & cilantro
>Mix in ~1/2cup coconut shavings, dress lightly w/ lime juice & into the fridge it goes

Entry The Seventh by Toothpick

>Here's my entry, chilled blueberry and creme anglaise soup with pecans and feta that both half-sank below the surface.

Entry The Eighth by Shake-kun

>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.

>Hate to be /that/ asshat, but I might use octopus instead of the cod I mentioned in

>Unwrapped, cut diagonally and plated with three sides: tomato and cucumber salad with homemade ginger/miso dressing, blanched spinach dressed with Chinese-style light soy sauce and topped with smoked fish flakes and stew-fried carrot cooked with Japanese light soy sauce, mirin and sugar, served cold, drizzed with dark sesame oil and sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds.

>Tried standing the triangles up to make it look more presentable but good ol" James was just not havin' it and kept fidgeting my arms, the jerkface.
>All in all, everything was delicious, though I await my low scores.

Entry The Ninth by Toys

>Anyway, this is Aspic (Ĺ altiena in Lithuanian) made from pork and chicken with a side of horseradish and couple of pieces of black bread. Is not as sophisticated as some of the other entries, but it will have to do.

Entry The Tenth by Birdskull

>Ok. Here is my Wasabi Deviled Eggs entry by Birdskull.

>nb4 "Durr. Not a main dish..."
>That's how I eat it so I figure it counts.

>Fluffy 'Wasabi' filling, Cut up nori and salmon roe topping. That is some tasty fucking soy sauce in the dipping cup there.

Entry The Eleventh by Webmfag

>Here's my entry. Retarded plating, but sometimes you have to go big to win big.

> Spicy chili-cucumber ice lollies with garlicky "gazpatcho-ish" with a penis-shaped bread stick for decoration.

>Coldest entry yet.

Entry The Twelfth by GradSchoolGuy

>Here is my entry. Ratatouille with toasted wheat bread.

>Total cost was only about $6 (USD) to make. There are plenty of leftovers for the next few days too.

>Canned tomatoes 2 x 0.59
>Zucchini 0.60
>Bell Peppers 1.38
>Eggplant 2.00
>Onion 1.02
>-----------------------
>Total: 6.18

Entry The Thirteenth by Mamushka Doll

>The final dish. Shrimp with roasted mango cocktail sauce and a pico de gallo cucumber salad.

>The shrimp was boiled in a court boullion, then chilled.

>The cucumber salad is vegeti'd cucumbers with diced tomatoes, onion, avocado, and roasted serrano peppers, also lime juice and cilantro.

>The sauce is a traditonal cocktail sauce and roasted mango pureed together.

>Everything was chilled and delicious.

What have the themes been in previous months? Maybe we could do some kind of dessert or fruit theme. A lot of citrus and apples are in season in August.

Fuck, I was too busy waiting for captcha to load to actually say what I meant: Thanks for the suggestion.
The previous themes were

>Sandwich
>Berries in a Savory Context
And thank you for the two suggestions.

These are my votes. I forgot to tripfag the first, but the others are tripfagged. I wanted to leave comments explaining why I voted the way that I did.

Everyone except the fuckwit in can have a nice day/night!

Suggestion for the next challenge: I agree with and perhaps would should do something potato related. Potatoes are cheap, easily available, and do not require much other than something to cook them on: main, side, or snack.

Good height and motion. Cucumbers as spaghetti sounds wrong and you can see a pool has started under the salad. Everything was transformed though and everything is supposed to be served cold so cheers on that. Without the salad this would have been h'ors d'oeuvre territory.

>Scoring assuming you made the aspic yourself. Minimal plating. If it was presented or described better it may have had greater appeal.
Yeah, I made it myself. All them pig feet and tails and shit. As for presentation - I can't into it. I need to google on how to make food look good in pictures. It was the first time I've cooked it.

Nice work. Just keep trying with the plating, you'll get the hang of it. Did you make the horseradish too? I wasn't in the original thread so I'm not sure if the dishes had more elaborate postings than what's here.

We shall see what is the next months challenge, maybe something more presentable can be made from my end. As for horseradish - I bought it, but in all fairness, I might as well make my own - it isn't hard at all, unlike for example making home made mayonnaise.
Anyways, thanks for the words of encouragement.
There is always room to improve.

Doing some tallying up, eight votes in three days is pretty damn good for the contest's current incarnation.

Anyone got any more theme suggestions for next month?
Next month the suggestions will be thrown around at the first, during the suggestion thread(s), and then the top five (by number of people agreeing) will be set up for voting during the vote thread, appropriately enough.
Follow this user's example.

I don't really like beef, but assuming I did, I'd rate it thusly. If I could take personal tastes (IE my revulsion to most beef dishes that aren't stew, curry, meatloaf/meatballs, burgers and, finally, steak with vinegar or lemon), I'd give a 1. But that wouldn't be fair. Just really rather dislike roast beef, smoked beef brisket, barbecued beef ribs, beef sausages/hot dogs etc. Yes, I'm aware it's odd to live in the west and dislike beef.

I love pasta salad and tuna, but don't put nearly as much mayo as you do.

It's cold. It's meant to be cold. It's unmistakeably cold.

As for theme suggestion:
Non-salad vegetarian stuff? Everybody eats something vegetarian, even if it's just pizza. It could promote people who can't think of a vegetarian dish they'd like to make to just try their hand at homemade pizza. Dough, sauce and all.

Thanks for the votes, but I gotta have actual numbers for Entry 3.
Everything is tallied up, including P O A and even C.

1s all the way down, then, sorry.

No problem, it's just to preserve the integrity of the numbers.
>I may be taking this all a bit too seriously
Also, thanks for the theme suggestion.
