Speaking of Cooking

I was at someone's house the other day and they offered me some stew. Normally me and stew aren't that tight. This stew though... man too good. Anyway, I asked the guy:

"what's the secret ingredient?"
-"beer."
"BEER? What kind?"
-"crappy coors light."

How swill from the rocky mountains was making this stew taste so damn good is beyond my comprehension. Here are the ingredients:

1. Beef (I think it was pot roast)
2. Onions (I seriously think he just threw the onion(s) in whole)
3. Potatoes (Chopped... duh)
4. BEER (hell yes)
5 Some seasoning (He had no idea what it was called)

That's it. Enjoy!

My mom would call that a "carbonade" - serves it over egg noodles.

In her version she crisps up a few slices of bacon or salt pork and tosses them in.

It's awesome, I agree!

When I was in Dublin I tryed Irish Stew. I think it was good, it was served with bread - moreover the bread completely replaced the plate.

But if i had the choice, I'd rather eat goulash instead of stew. It always depends on how it is made...

If you ever come to Germany, try some swabian food. German food is always connected with "sourkraut", sousages and stuff. But these things only became popularized by time but don't really represent the whole variety at all.

My sister in law is German. Man you aren't kidding she can cook up some stuff that will make you "slap your mother"
Opps my wife is from Italy ain't half bad herself.

wait, so the bread is the bowl? sounds like it could get really messy. Also, I'm thinking about making the brew stew with some other type of alcohol like wine or maybe kahlua. Any suggestions?

You can add some red whine of course. Dont use the best...
