Information
THE KNIFE & FORK is a group for anyone who has a strong interest or mild curiosity in food, cooking, eating, drinking, and nutrition.
Members: 159
Latest Activity: on Saturday
WELCOME TO THE KNIFE & FORK
THE KNIFE & FORK will be a group open to a broad range of food-related topics. You do not have to be a food snob, an epicure, or a bon vivant to join, participate, or enjoy this group. You just have to have the desire to share and explore old and new information on food and dining.
Discussion topics, articles, and questions can include, but are not limited to:
- Food history and legend
- Ingredient recognition, selection, storage, and preparation
- Your favorite recipes, methods, and tips and tricks
- Your favorite wines, beers, liquors, or cocktail recipes
- Health & nutrition information for adults or children
- Food allergy information, warnings, and replacements
- Organic foods and pesticide information
- Sanitation and food safety / preparation
- Product labeling and government regulation
- Food and product recalls
- Culinary and dining etiquette, rituals, and customs
- Food economics
- Documentaries, books, cookbooks, and television shows
- Bizarre or unusual foods and customs from around the world
- Vitamins & supplements (with which you have direct experience)
- Diet information (with which you have direct experience)
- Agricultural or farming practices related to food quality or availability*
*For this item, please see Borderline Discussion Posts below.
Borderline Discussion Posts
It is inevitable that there will be some crossover in topics and issues related to food production and consumption. I am not forbidding these topics outright, but there may be a better venue for them. Use your best judgment and post the topic in the group that best fits the focus of the discussion. Please do not cross post the same discussion twice in different groups, as it is against Atheist Nexus policy to do so.
- If you are interested in food and gardening, it makes more sense to join Godless in the Garden and post your discussions there.
- If you are interested in how agriculture and modern farming affect the environment, please join Environmental Atheists.
- If you are interested in socio-economic justice, family farms, and fair trade practices, please consider Consumer Ethics instead.
- If animal welfare as it relates to food production and consumption is your thing, please join us in Humane Atheists.

The roast was fabulous - one of the best things I've ever cooked. The milk curdled into a lovely cheesey curd and the whey was deeply flavoured with fennel seeds. I could have whizzed the sauce to smooth it, but we liked it as it was. I'll post the recipe later today.

For dinner, I'm making a boneless rolled leg of pork, rubbed with lemon juice, zest, oil and seasonings, then baked slowly for 3 hours in a bath of full cream milk infused with fennel seeds, onion and rosemary. Served with roast potatoes and baked fennel. Hope it's as good as it sounds.

@ Felch: Yeah, I think I might do that. I initially thought "latest post" might be nice, but perhaps not.

D Man - you might want to change the way the forum sorts topics to "latest comments"

Really, with regard to a lot of food things, I feel like I'm trying to piece together a lost history. Somewhen I got inspired to "not be one of those men that rely on Hardee's to not starve", and so I embarked on a quest to conquer the kitchen. I ate from cans--still a step above Hardee's already as it requires a can opener, but I wanted more--the subtle flavors and expertise involved in pain-in-the-ass long-prep-time pieces of food with so many things to manage at once that a cook that pulls it off with moderate difficulty would be an expert general.
I hope this place helps me be the guy who makes biscuits while the other guys watch (mekin) football--and they'll smell so delicious that they'll all say "Yes, please!" and go wash their hands and stuff.

Signing Atheists
I was going to set up a group for Deaf Atheists, but figured I'd probably be alone in here if I did that so I figured I'd open it to anyone who knows sign language or even interested in learning it.
