Sensitive skin, hmm, should be sad.gif

Seafood, i didn't eat everyday. Fish okay lah. But prawns, crabs, lobsters... I was advised not to. As long it was done and not bloody, it was all good and fine.

Oh my... Deer meat? ohmy.gif

Rabbit meat, hare meat, kangaroo meat, dog meat, cat meat, zebra meat, veal and others, i really cannot make myself to eat. I will think of them and cry cry.gif

Hmm, think of it like chicken. Some animals, like cow, lamb, chicken, and deer are commercially grown to be sold to eat.

For the Chinese , any animal with it's back is facing the sky is edible ... hehe , urm the most i went was only rabbit meat ... definitely not zebra meat ... but chefs will always say these
"simple food are the most difficult to cook" ...

How come the poll can only vote for either one? Hmmm, I'm thinking of shd be macam MCQ, got A, B, then C is all the above, and D is none of the above...

I would think that should be both art and science, you guys have pretty much discussed the points.

But hor, just to add to the "confusion", I want to say:
Cooking is also an exercise, a sport!

Exercise - coz you burnt some calories when cooking, just look at how those chef sweats during the process.., think of those energy required to chop, cut, stir fry, flip the wok..

Sport - think of cooking competition...

Haha. Sweat cause when you are inside the kitchen, it is HOT. Imagine like tai chao, you see how big and how loud the fire.

I never use wok. Well, maybe in the future 'cause currently i'm perfecting my Western recipes. Trying to get use to the electric cooker. Bit difficult to control the heat and the temperature. Have to be fast, quick and swift!

My family been using electric kitchenwares for years d. Need to change the gas tank almost every week! Last time lah... Almost everyday cook 24/7 as outside food didn't give their best ingredients and most important, is their oil! Gawd! Saw a restaurant 2 years d didn't change oil. So dark! wacko.gif

I am a Culinary Arts student, and I think that cooking is between art and science. And I would apply both during cooking.

But this is only my theory. So what's yours?

Vote and give a reason  biggrin.gif

i think both, because in science point of view if you cook with not proper way the food will not delicious and somehow it may cause food poisoning too. In Art you can decorate the food with nice and delicious impression.

Bit afraid of gas and fire. More to say, terrified. Read a news article that it blow up or something and injured the housewife's hand. Burnt badly...
