World of WarCrafts: Cook up a Well Fed Buff

Jul 3rd 2010 at 6:00PM
The Fourth of July. Fireworks. Barbecued Buzzard Wings and Ogri'la Chicken Fingers, Oronok Tubers, Rock-Salted Pretzels and some Delicious Chocolate Cake. Or maybe Mok'Nathal Shortribs, instead, and a cold beer. Or something even frostier to drink, like a tall glass of Essence Mango. Oh, and chocolate: freshly dipped Tauren Toenails, or maybe some Maiev's Grudge.
If you're not hungry for this holiday weekend to arrive, we have no idea why. We couldn't even manage to hold this installment of World of WarCrafts until its usual Monday slot -- it's time to celebrate, and we demand to be Hugely Well Fed! Join the party with recipes from the archives of World of WarCrafts and the retired Well Fed Buff (now a part of the World of WarCrafts column). It's festive and fun to share good food with friends -- and it's even more special when the recipes offer WoW-inspired strats all their own.
Enjoy -- we'll see you all next week!

I believe this is the only column where being distracted by puppies would be horrifying.

Winfull is the only way to describe this.

What? No Firecracker Salmon?
(blatantly ripped off from an About.com site)
1 can (16 ounces) salmon
1 small onion, finely grated
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
ground black pepper, to taste
2 large eggs, well beaten
1 to 1 1/2 cups fine dry bread crumbs
3 tablespoons butter
Turn salmon and liquid into a medium mixing bowl. Flake with a fork, removing OR mashing any bones (they are edible). Mix in grated onion, parsley and pepper. Mix beaten eggs with salmon. Add enough bread crumbs, about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, to make thick enough to shape into 12 small patties. Roll patties in 1/2 cup bread crumbs. In a large heavy skillet over low heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter; add patties. Fry patties slowly on one side; add remaining butter, turn patties and fry until brown on the other side.
For the "Firecracker" part, top w/ the hot sauce of your choice, and argue with your friends as to why your hot sauce is better.

Especially appropriate for this weekend, at least in the U.S. :)

I'm not a gourmet cook or anything, but here's a good tip to make great BBQ chicken.
Start w/ raw chicken of course. Stick them in a large pot of boiling water. Yes you are going to boil them first. The reason is that grilling chicken tends not to cook it fully if its bone-in. Boil it for a good 15-20 minutes.
Remove it from the pot. Baste with tomatoe based BBQ sauce. KC masterpiece or something like that is good. Don't get the cheap store-brand stuff, its too watery and thin. You need something nice and thick. Grill for 5 minutes each side. Baste a bit more BBQ sauce on, and you are done!

I plan on making my own delicious chocolate cake today. Of course, we call it a coca cola chocolate cake. Check out a recipe for it, it's amazingly good. Serve it with vanilla ice cream because it's so rich lol.
