Whats for Dinner?

[Celt Z]

Lillian's wisdom does not get enough love or attention.

 

[HCGLNS]

@GasBandit proof vegetarian curry.

 

[Squidleybits]

WTF has been done to my curry?!

 

[jwhouk]

It's being a big brat.

 

[HCGLNS]

I was thinking of @Cajungal and her love of colours when I made tonight's feast.

 

[Tinwhistler]

Nathan's Famous chili dogs. No pics.

 

[Squidleybits]

I took the rice from @HCGLNS ’s post and covered it in wilted, buttery spinach and added more vegetables to my side salad.

F for your wallet if you went to one of their restaurants. I went to the Coney Island location once. Over priced and overhyped.

Messed up baking a deep dish pizza. Used to much yeast in the dough. Tasted as if I made the dough with beer instead of water.

 

[Celt Z]

We had basic hamburgers, but I tried grilling the watermelon slices. Just sprinkle them with a little salt, and char marks on each side. It was really tasty!

 

[Dave]

I made my own burgers from scratch. Had to slow cook them so they got cooked all the way through, but they were awesome.

 

[HCGLNS]

Probably a German word for it, but just a meal of left over bits.

Left over nuggets, left over cheese in the pogey poutine, all the veggies in the salad are left over scraps too.

Probably a German word for it

Translate says “Rüschel” but that doesn’t seem right.

[LordRendar]

Resteessen

 

[figmentPez]

Resteessen

Thanks Google, that was so very helpful.

Spoiler

It does give the more useful translation of "leftovers" if you manually tell it to translate from German.

 

[PatrThom]

"Reste" = "remainder" and "essen" = "eat" so I guess it works.
"Rüschel" more literally means "trimmings" but I got there by asking for a German translation of "leftover morsels."

Apparently there is some debate whether it's Resteessen or Essensreste. Dict.cc and Google say Essensreste, Leo.org says Resteessen. It might be different depending on where in the German speaking world you're from.

 

[LordRendar]

Essensreste = Leftovers
Resteessen = Meal made from leftovers

 

[LordRendar]

Germans put their words together in a certain way to describe things. The first part i s like a modifier for the second part.(A teacher can describe it better then me.)
Essens (Food) + Reste (Leftover) = Essensreste (Food Leftovers)
Reste (Leftover) + Essen (Food) = Resteessen (Meal of Leftovers)

More examples

Fahr (driving) + Zeug (Thing) = Drivingthing (Car)
Hub (Lifting) + Schrauber (Screwmaschine) = Helicopter

English does something sort of similar. When you say “The big red car,” what you are really saying is something like, “Of those red cars, I am speaking of the big one.” The order of adjectives builds the hierarchy of sets and subsets.

The language rules we know – but don’t know we know

Mark Forsyth tasted internet fame this week when a passage from a book he wrote went viral. He explains more language secrets that native speakers know without knowing.

www.bbc.com

“Adjectives in English absolutely have to be in this order: opinion-size-age-shape-colour-origin-material-purpose Noun. So you can have a lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife. But if you mess with that word order in the slightest you’ll sound like a maniac. It’s an odd thing that every English speaker uses that list, but almost none of us could write it out.”

... it was just a plate of nuggets.....what have I done?

So does Dutch.
To be fair, even English, they usually just don't join them together. Wine bottle vs bottle (of) wine, for example.

Vegetarian tonight.

Those are cauliflower wings and they’re awesome. I wish they were the C in KFC....because that batter on veggies would be killer.
