JDeck:
  I figured I'd start a food and drink thread in here. I'm always getting off topic talking about food and drinks.
So, post whatever interresting thing you've had recently.

JDeck:
Lately I've been on a Jamaican/caribbean kick. I taught myself how to Jerk chicken over the summer, and it's honestly better than any barbecue chicken I've ever had.
In fact there was a Jerk festival here in Richmond, back in September. So I went to size up my chicken and honestly my chicken was better than any of them at the festival.

I use leg quarters, because it's almost impossible to dry them out.
I chop thyme, habanaro, garlic, onions, mix with jerk seasoning Mccormick or Badia brand, add soy sauce, olive oil, and a little dark rum and demerara sugar. I don't even marinade more than 45 minutes.
Mostly I cook it in the oven but have cooked on the grill with indirect heat and apple wood smoking chips. I'm telling you it's good.  I call it Voodoo Chicken, because if you eat it at night you will have nightmares and wild dreams.

You can literally Jerk anything (giggles) chicken, pork, fish, vegetables. It's spicy, savory and just a hint of sweet. This Thanksgiving I'm making a jerk pork loin, (I hate Turkey). December, I'm going to try and make Jerk chicken Tamales. Never made Tamales, but it's really not that difficult.

Dang that looks good. I might have to give that a try on my smoker. Bet that would come out good.

I did smoke a whole deer over the summer and that turned out good. I have some pics somewhere.

JDeck:
Damn smoked a whole deer! I bet that was good.  I need to get my hands on some deer meat, a lot of 18th century dishes ate made with deer obviously. I bet Jerk deer would be alright.

I went scouting out my future neighborhood, theres a bar called Industrial taphouse, obviously they serve beer mostly. I had them make me an 18th century drink called a RattleSkull. It's 2oz Dark Rum (Diplomatico) 1oz of simple syrup, 1oz of lime juice and top ot off with dark Ale or stout. It was good. Then the guy next to me ordered it, and he liked it too. But the Rattleskull was a popular drink back during colonial times. I'm bringing it back baby!

Mt dew has a new fruit cake flavor. By itself it doesn't taste like much it's like all the others it's too sweet. So I mixed Pussers gunpowder proof, mt dew fruit quake, ginger beer and lime wedge. It's perfect. Tastes just like fruit cake.

Tamer:
Interesting concoction. That bottle opener is awesome.
