Chorizo, Kale, Chickpea and Potato Soup

It's what's for dinner!

Ingredients

1 onion, finely chopped

2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped

oil of your choice

500g potatoes, chopped into 2cm cubes

1x 14.5oz can of chickpeas, drained

1 sprig of fresh rosemary or 1 tsp dried rosemary

2 tsp thyme

1 bay leaf

1 quart chicken stock (+ 1 15oz can, because I use more of everything)

150g kale, roughly chopped (Buy Baby Kale = no chopping required)

80g chorizo, finely sliced (= 2 packages ie 4 total Sausages)

How to make it...

1. In a large, deep saucepan, fry the onion and garlic in 1tbsp oil and a splash of water.
Cook for around 7-8 minutes or until softened.

2. Add the chickpeas, chopped potatoes and herbs into the pan with the chicken stock. Stir, cover, bring to a boil and then leave to simmer for around 30 minutes.

3. If using loose as opposed to dried herbs, remove these from the pan now.

Next, add the kale and cook for another 10 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, gently fry the chorizo in a pan for several minutes until it starts to release it's oil. Finally, add the chorizo with any remaining bits of fat to the soup.

Feel free to top up with a little boiling water if the stock has reduced too much.

This serves 4 and is particularly comforting on a cold day!

How did I miss this. Looks good. I'm assuming Spanish chorizo and not Mexican.

And my brain got whiplash going from metric to imperial measurements and back again.

What’s the difference between Spanish and Mexican chorizo?

Also, for the longest time Pizza Hut was the world’s largest buyer of kale.

They didn’t even serve it, they just used it as decor on their pizza buffet.

Spanish chorizo, lots of garlic and paprika. It's drier, and cured.

When you didn't comment, I assumed you must think it would taste like shit, and were being nice to keep it to yourself...

It is good! I have ~ 4 large servings, and I'm all about left-overs.

Yes, Spanish chorizo.

I realized as I was getting ready to post the recipe that much of it was imperial, and went back and changed a lot of it. For instance:

This: "1x 14.5oz can of chickpeas, drained"

was originally: "1 400g tin of chickpeas"

Nope.

"Pranks", WTF? #todayinnotfunny

How comforting:

...there is no medical reason against eating a loved one's ashes following cremation...

People are eating their deceased loved ones’ ashes

--People are eating their deceased loved ones' ashes after cremation.

--While some make meals from ashes as a mourning ritual, others have cooked up pranks for family members.

--If cremated properly, the ashes of loved ones should not be toxic. However, consumption in excess can be problematic due to the potential content of heavy metals and salts in the ashes.

--It can be important to approach conversations about mourning rituals from a culturally sensitive point of view, considering the physical and psychological impact of the practices on your patient.

Another peculiar food trend has entered the news cycle, and this time, it involves people cooking and eating their deceased loved ones’ ashes. Some reports show people publicly mixing ashes into meals as a way to connect with the deceased, while others show people tricking other family members into eating a relative’s remains.

The practice of eating a loved one’s ashes may have a range of emotional health impacts on the grieving process. One performance artist who cooked and ate her father’s ashes in 2020—at a public event during which she shared the meal with others—said the process felt “comforting.”[1] Others, like the brother who was reportedly unknowingly fed his grandmother’s ashes in spaghetti sauce by his sister, may have felt less comforted than deceived—or creeped out.[2]

In addition to emotional impacts, eating ashes may have physical health implications—but perhaps not as many as you may have thought. According to a Live Science interview with a microbiologist—following an incident in which a high school student baked her grandfather’s ashes into sugar cookies and then fed them to several members of her class—there is no medical reason against eating a loved one's ashes following cremation.[3] (There may be legal consequences, however, depending on local laws. At the time of publication, police were still investigating the sugar cookie incident.)

Disgusting.

Disgusting.

Most days I get a number of emails with various medically-related articles, and can't resist scanning the titles, but after reading that this morning my head is still spinning, wondering how in the world anyone, and especially in the US, (Allowing for cultural considerations...?), could think it's "funny" to put cremated remains in other people's food unbeknownst to them. (I don't ever recall writing "unbeknownst", before.)

Within the last 3 years I've had to handle both my wife's and mother's ashes, and even tho I would rank 1 on a scale of 10 when it comes to any emotional attachments to them, (To me, the ashes are not them...), it still would never occur to me to...eat them. Gag!

Hopefully, if he knows any, 99 won't post any recipes that include them.

Is there any prevalent practice of eating ashes, of any kind? In some cultures charcoal ash is consumed by pregnant women, as a source of minerals, but that’s the extent of my exposure to the practice.

Why would anyone put ashes, of any type, in any food?

Nope. There was that episode of Married with Children when Al fed Marci her Aunt's ashes in the form of a buger.

Sounds about right.

I tried to like that show, but even with Kelly to look at, it was too crude for me.

I hadn't eaten at a Taco Bell in at least 20 years until after midnight almost 7 years ago on my way home from the hospital it was the only thing open and I couldn't face the possibility of having another bowl of cold cereal, so I stopped. Much to my surprise, the tacos compared favorably to what is available here in Florida, so now I go there ~ 2-3 times/year.

Still, despite that, I had never heard of a "Crunchwrap", when it seemed to appear out of nowhere amongst the recurring themes here recently.

Then, "out of nowhere", this came up in my feed on YouTube this morning, and I might have to give it a try:

This Crunchwrap Is INSANE For Weight Loss

Beav is the pickiest eater ever, in such an arbitrary way

Loves waffles but won’t touch pancakes

Loves tacos but won’t touch enchiladas

Loves pizza but won’t touch pasta

Hopefully, he likes being single.

[ousdahl]

Yea.

Remember that time he tried to bump the workplace hookups thread by inviting that chick over for buttered noodles?

Like just noodles with butter on them.

Like a toddler likes to eat. After they get all giddy about seeing a cybertruck.

The key term in this post is “tried to.”

He’s also picky about accepting my wingman services.

Might be the best judgment "he's" shown so far. You don't seem so great at keeping real life women around you, not sure why you'd be qualified to "wingman" anyone. Might be more of a liability than an asset?

Cool BBQ pic though in the other thread.
