Hux Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Like most people here, I consider myself a bit of a gourmet and more than capable in the kitchen. However, we've all had those nights when we stumble home late and decide to fire up something in the kitchen to satisfy our craving.Last weekend, facing a pretty empty fridge, I came up with this doozy.Hux's Drunken Chick-pea and Garlic Gespacho1 can chick peas3 cloves garlicEmpty full contents of can of chick peas (with oil/juice) into blender.Add 3 cloves garlic.blend to liquid.Serve.Didn't come close to finishing it and let's just say the taste in my mouth the next morning was not pleasant.What are your drunken culinary low-lights?

bradm Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Isn't that more of a hummus than a gazpacho?Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.O.B.E Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Thats not a Gazpacho...thats halfway to hummus soup. Just out of curiousity how sick were you after eating this?? All you needed to added was a tablespoon or 2 of Tahini and some Olive Oil and you would have had Hummous.Gazpacho soup, also known as gazpacho, is a cold, Spanish soup that is popular in warmer areas and during the summer. Gazpacho descends from an ancient Andalusian concoction based on a combination of stale bread, garlic, olive oil, salt, and vinegar — a cold breadsoup. With the Columbian Exchange beginning in 1492, the tomato and the bell pepper were brought to Europe.While tomato is an important ingredient of a common form of gazpacho, the original ingredients, mentioned above, not tomato, are those which define gazpacho.[citation needed] In Andalusia, there are several types of gazpacho and many do not include tomato as an ingredient. One very popular type of gazpacho is white gazpacho or ajo blanco malagueño, made principally with almonds, bread, garlic, vinegar and oil.A completely different approach for this recipe is gazpacho manchego. As the name implies, it seems to have originated from the La Mancha region of Spain, but it is also popular in other areas in the center and southwest of the country. Instead of a cold soup, it is a warm stew. The main ingredients are meat (rabbit in many cases) and bread (a special kind of flat bread), and may also include mushrooms. Therefore, bread is the ingredient that really identifies a gazpacho.[citation needed]The soup is also classically accompanied by hard boiled egg[citation needed]. The garnishes are served separately, in little bowls, to be added as desired. Occasionally, restaurants in western Spain serve a tomato gazpacho garnished with small cubes of the local ham (e.g. jamón serrano, jamón de bellota, etc.). This is common in Extremadura, where much high-quality ham is produced.[citation needed] On menus in certain Extremaduran restaurants, gazpacho with local ham is called gazpacho extremeño. The ham tends to be added to the soup in the kitchen prior to serving (unlike the other garnishes which are provided in separate dishes and added at the table).

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 we'd have to start an entire forum for mine, suffice it to say that even in my haziest states i now know enough to stay away from the oven.i do still make up sammiches (last w.e. it was grilled cheese and a croquette @ midnight) and stock the cupboard with salty snacks beforehand but then again i don't hit the boose like i used to eitherincidentally i found that mixed nuts are only good for a couple of handfuls no matter how hungered you feel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hux Posted May 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Hummus was likely the original intention (?) believe me I'm not defending this as gespacho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 I'm on a pretty regimented diet (for health reasons; and it's not just what I eat, but when), so usually don't have anything when I get in at whatever a.m. except for water, but if I do need/want a snack, it'll be breakfast cereal w/ milk, or maybe bread w/ peanut butter. I'm also pretty strict about making sure I brush my teeth before I go to bed, so, regardless of what I eat or don't eat before sacking out, my mouth isn't too bad the next morning.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm trying to figure out whether an electric can opener or a hand-cranked one would be riskier in drunken situations...)Edit to add: I missed the "beforehand" part, which (I assume) would drastically reduce the incidence of can opener trauma.Aloha,Brad Edited May 30, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
