Food Reviews of a Pot Luck That Happened in The Past

Steak
This cut of beef was grilled before I arrived. I do not know much about the origins of this meat. The things that I do know are; that it is beef, and it was pre-cut into generous bit sized pieces. The cutting of the steak was smart, perfectly suited for the party conditions during which it was consumed. Slight flavoring was added to the beef. An onion salt rub was added to the exterior of the steak. This rub added a bit of adventure without drowning the natural flavors of the beef.

Short Ribs
After seeing this dish, I knew it was going to be hard for those on diets to keep their willpower. No bones about it, this dish was fatty goodness. The fat deposits which congealed in-between the muscle fibers of the rib had melted during its exposure to the open grill, unlocking it savory flavor. The Korean marinade contributed a tangy taste, only enhancing it further. The meat was properly prepared. The tenderness was expected of short ribs, a slight pull was necessary to separate the meat bonds, though not at all distracting to the joys of eating it.

Spring Mix Salad with Strawberries and Poppy-Seed Dressing
This dish was the only to feature all four tastes; sweet, sour, savory, and bitter. Despite the name spring mix, one could argue that this dish represented all four seasons; the sweetness of summer, the savory beginnings of spring, the sour transition of autumn, and the bitter cold of winter. The fatal flaw of this dish reveals itself after one finishes it. Tongues sweep across both sides of both rows of teeth, desperate to pick up the remnants of poppy-seed, strawberry bit, and leafy greens hidden in plain sight, radiating the sign of eatery embarrassment.

Curry
A brown curry still warm was delivered in a six quart cylindrical pot. The protein of this dish was bits of chicken and shrimp. Vegetables were also added to the concoction. The specific names of the vegetables have been forgotten in the last two days, as such, this portion of the dish was not remember-able. There was a spiciness to this course. If on an American Thai restaurant star-heat scale this would be a three, not that spicy. And it wasn't that spicy. The heat amount brought a good balance of excitement, and general eating consumption.

Chinese BBQ Pork
I think I had this before? This thing was painted red, that can't be right? I was damn good though. All of the fatty bits were full of flavor. And what do you know? This thing was delicious as a side to rice. I think there was some type of yellow sauce that came with it. Hot mustard they said. Didn't try it though, too busy eating pork.

Chicken Adobo
Classic adobo flavor. The chicken was soft and was easily manipulated by the pointed prongs of my fork. The tender flesh resisted only for a moment as my prong pushed into its meaty surface. Succumbing to it's true nature, the chicken could no longer deny my utensil. It spread its flesh, as my fork penetrated deep to create an almost air tight opening. Now bonded so firmly, the chicken piece is guided to me; and in an instant consumed whole.

Choco-Taco
Get this, it's like a taco, but it's ice cream! Who invented this thing? Genius! Instead of a tortilla, you get a waffle cone shell. (But wait wait wait! The 'cone' is not actually a cone, it's shaped like a taco shell!!!! You get it?!?!). The 'meat' of this 'taco' is ice cream! This particular one that I had was chocolate, I am guessing that's equivalent to that ground taco beef. (Strawberry would be pork, Vanilla would be chicken, and shrimp would be shrimp). The taco is then topped with chocolate, peanuts, and more chocolate and peanuts. Delicious! And the perfect food while driving, as well.

Waffles
This dish ranks among the most versatile of the day. The culinary personification of WD-40. It could be use as a side to compliment any of the other dishes or could be eaten as a dish on its own. Add a splash of un-splashable maple syrup and unsalted butter or whipped cream and berries, or even ice cream makes for one dish you would not regret taking to your concubine.

Potato Salad
I found this potato salad to be very potatoey. Less in content of egg and more in the starchiness of potato. The flavors are traditional 1960's Americana. Once placed on the tongue, an acid trip erupts into your frontal lobe of red and white plaid picnic blankets, plastic framed glasses, and middle eastern unrest.

Dutch Apple Pie
I had a dream that one day an oven would reach 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and carry with it a round discus of pastry crust and spiced apple slices.
I had a dream that one day cinnamon coated graham cracker bits would rain down on top of a warm pool of melted semi-solid granny smith flesh.
I had a dream that one day a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream would be served next to a freshly baked pastry while the French would scream "A la mode" "A la mode" 
I had a dream that one day the pie would be distributed equally amongst all people with the accuracy of a forth grade mathematics classroom learning fractions.
I had this dream and this dream was Sunday. Too bad I didn't get any pie.
