Chef Jim Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Probably. But I won't try...squid and mandolins don't mix. Yes they do and I'd like to see you play this one without cutting your finger off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I know how...I've used a mandoline before. Just because you know how doesn't mean you've not cut your finger off. If you've never drawn blood using one of those you're not using it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutting yourself on this device is precisely what Bruce Hornsby was referring to when he wrote Mandoline Rain. True story. Know how I know it's true? John Oliver did a segment on it.

Know how I know it's true? John Oliver did a segment on it. I was working in a hotel kitchen and saw one of my cooks run out the back door with his hand wrapped in a rag. Looked around the corner and saw the mandoline at his station. Yup knew I was going to be short a guy that night. BTW he was black. Mandolines are racist. Know how I know that? John Oliver didn't piece on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Oliver didn't piece on it. Years ago in a previous life I worked summers at a pig roast concession stand that traveled throughout NY and PA to summer fairs. We'd roast pigs on a giant rotisserie during the day, pull the meat and slice it at night. We'd shove the meat into a big tube that rested on the slicer where you'd usually put a ham or roast beef, cram it down with a glove-covered fist and slice until three pigs were cut up. One day I ran out of pig and sliced right down to the knuckles. I took off the glove reluctantly, and my first instinct was to make sure I could bend my fingers, which I could do because that was how I saw the white fleshy knuckles pop up. Ruined a couple of pounds of delicious pork in the process. Edited August 20, 2014 by LABillzFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've never drawn blood using one of those you're not using it right. man, ain't that the truth. I spent several years working in a kitchen with one of those things, and it took me years to learn how to lacerate my hand properly before I finally gained the confidence to use one at home.

You're standing in line at a trailer at a local festival for a fresh roast pork sandwich. Behind the guy taking your order is a guy slicing his knuckles into what could be your order.

OCinBuffalo Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Do you know and speak Mandarin? Better yet, can you play one? When I lived in Chinatown in Philly, I played the occasional Mandarin.

B-Man Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Democratic Senate Candidates Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff... Like Israel, Iraq, the Border... Running for Senate is difficult. Sooner or later, you’ll get asked a question about an issue you haven’t researched. So you can try to wing it, as Kentucky Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes did, and suggest that Israel’s Iron Dome anti-missile system protects the country from Hamas tunnels… … or you can try the approach of Montana Democrat Amanda Curtis: When asked her position on the situation in Iraq, Curtis told CNN, “Give me a little more time.” On the border crisis, “I’ll need more time, you know only 11 days ago I was painting my storm windows.” Or, as that campaign memo for Georgia Democrat Michelle Nunn described her position on Israel, “TBD” (To Be Determined).
