This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Hah, I didn't know mesquite had toxic qualities but it's confirmed, sort of, in this academic web page (which has a number of other tasty facts about the plant, such as the fact that it provides a good source of nectar for honeybees). Still, most of what's meant by "mesquite poisoning" is apparently cattle and other animals overdosing on the sugary bean pods and screwing up their digestive bacteria. The first article does confirm that the thorns have some kind of irritating wax on them.

All in all, a very interesting plant. I'd like to try the beans sometime.

Bobby Flay uses one too, and he is, supposedly, considered the king of the grill.

Alton Brown is still cooler though.

Flay uses all kinds of grilling methods, and discusses the virtues of a gas grill in his intro for the "Boy Meets Grill" cookbook. Being a fan of propane myself he's preaching to the converted. :D
Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what\'s on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide.

Bobby Flay is not fit to wipe Alton Brown's tongs.

As it were.

What are the virtues of a gas grill? To me it sounds like you could accomplish much the same thing by installing a retractable roof over your kitchen range.

I'm so very sorry. Is Bobby Flay that guy on that show with Morimoto on it?

Bobby Flay is the thinner of the two red-haired Iron Chefs.

Bobby Flay is the one who dishonored Kitchen Stadium (the real one, not that American-produced travesty) by jumping up on his cutting board at the end of his first match with Morimoto.

He has no honor.

I still do not know this "Bobby Flay". I only know these Stateside Iron Chefs: Masaharu Morimoto, Cat Cora, Red-Headed Italian Food Guy and The Dick.

Living in a small two bedroom, it's impractical for me to own a grill. I have since learned, as late as last night, that I can still make one hell of a Strip steak with a really hot oven and my cast iron griddle. Combo that with a baked yam, and one is close to heaven.

"The Dick"? :haw:
I'm always a little surprised how many people feel that way. Including me.

I'm being facetious of course, but that Flay guy does not impress me. His on-air persona at least is kind of superior and unapproachable, however skilled and talented a cook he may be.

Alton Brown, on the other hand, is charismatic, likeable, knowledgeable and self-effacing. His show isn't just entertaining, it's educational.

George Duran? Duran's awesome, too. Good sense of humor, sense of culinary adventure.

Sandra Lee? Tits on a stick. Sorry, but she's so very dull and fake to me, I can't watch her. Good recipes, but that's it.

The only cooking show I managed to watch for more than two minutes was back in Ireland with that "Nigella" chick. Don't ask me what she was cooking, but daaamn... (And btw, worst. name. evah.)

Nigella Lawson is quite attractive, yes. Her show is fairly pedestrian, however.

I often wonder how these cooking show hosts live with themselves knowing that they cannot compete with Alton Brown. Are their pillows soaked with tears?
