signing out (in my defence i also like the incredible string band, hawkwind,, megadeth, the corries, johnny cash, monster magnet and many more...)

i don't need to defend myself. f it.


Man, I remember seeing Hawkwind in the back room of a pub. There wasn't even a stage. About 30 people standing around them drinking beer. I've still got my original copies of their first few LP's. I did convert them to CD though.

Steamed?:eek: Burger needs a good char to be edible.
Then better never visit Connecticut :pervy:

Normally I'd agree but I really wanted to try it at least once and it paid off, very nice and creamy experience

Steamed cheeseburger juice, not an actual steamed burger, right???

White Castle is virtually impossible to reproduce at home. The amount of fat used is only available with industrial wholesale sales.
Meat grinders easily available. DIY;). Why anyone would want to, I don't know. I grew up here in White Castle land, never could stand 'em. To each their own, they say...
Steamed burgers could get you lynched outside of CT. :D

Yeah I'm getting the impression I upset people with that burger :lol: luckily I'm very far away...
But I get it, a few weeks ago I wouldn't have understood why you would steam a burger either.
I don''t get it. No maillard browning, water saturated, wet meat? There probably is a reason it stays confined to a small area!

Yes, due to no charring/delicious brown bits it tastes very different but not necessarily in a bad way. It's a very juicy and creamy/beefy goodness (kind of like in a dumpling), would recommend. It's a bit of a pita to make though, the pros have a whole dedicated apparatus to make those, I fabricobbled some kind of wire rack thing to put into a pot that holds raclette pans.

Those look like white castle sliders, also on my to do list. Maybe next time my culinary circle comes back to the US (I rotate through different countries on Sundays to learn a variety of dishes).
We got 2 White Castles here now. Used to get them whenever I went through Chicago. I love those little gut grenades. They melt in your mouth. Now I can go downtown and get some. They are more expensive here though.

I played Clementi harpsichord cd12 on the boombox last night while reading, have Aerosmith & early Allman Bros in the car, just quoted Frank earlier, played some Pu$$y Riot videos on YT earlier, The Beatles CD Cartridge3 in the cave CD changer, Van Hagar OU812 on the platter & I shared a Victor Borge routine on FB today.
Variety is the spice of life :toast:

    requesting opinions here,
    which is better and why

    Pharaoh RTA
    Siren V2
    Beserker RTA
    The Berserker has the best flavor of the bunch for MTL. Although I haven't tried the Pharoah I have tried the Pharoah Mini for DL and it's a great flavor tank. As a matter of fact I'm vaping from one now.

    Agree on the Pharaoh mini, good flavor for a DL tank (vaping on it as well right now, copy cat hell cat). I can't remember exactly what but there was something wrong/subpar with the original Pharaoh. Also, how does it fit in for comparison with the Siren 2 and the berserker? Afaik the Pharaoh is a DL tank as well.

    How's the wicking for the mini, finicky?
