Adult Swim’s Dana Snyder and FRED’s Ken Plume set out to have a literate conversation between two pals, but inevitably devolve into a verbal, and funny, free-for-all full of bickering, infighting, and the special kind of male bonding that comes from conflict expressed through the podcast medium. This, dear friends, is the online experience!

Raclette
KEN P.D. SNYDECAST #191: Slope-a-Dope features mention of Raclette:
Dana tweeted pics today of Raclette:
Raclette is both a type of cheese and a Swiss dish based on heating the cheese and scraping off (racler) the melted part.
The Raclette cheese is heated by a special machine, then scraped onto diners' plates.
It is accompanied by small firm potatoes (Bintje, Charlotte or Raclette varieties), gherkins, pickled onions, and dried meat, such as jambon cru/cuit and viande des Grisons.

Did Santa Bring You The Toys You Wanted?

Food!
KEN P.D. SNYDECAST #191: Slope-a-Dope features mention of a few foods (of course).
The most peculiar one was Raclette:
The method Dana mentions is where the Raclette cheese round is heated by a special machine, then scraped onto diners' plates.
. It is accompanied by small firm potatoes (Bintje, Charlotte or Raclette varieties), gherkins, pickled onions, and dried meat, such as jambon cru/cuit and viande des Grisons.
Rösti is a Swiss dish that Dana compared to hash browns.
Rösti is made with coarsely grated potato, either cooked or raw. The grated potatoes are then shaped into rounds or patties, which come in different sizes. Often rösti is simply shaped inside of the frying pan. They are most often pan fried, but can also be baked in the oven. Although basic rösti consists of nothing but potato, a number of additional ingredients are sometimes added, such as bacon, onion, cheese, apple or fresh herbs.
Steak Tartare was the dish that disagreed with Dana on his honeymoon.
Steak tartare is a meat dish typically made from finely chopped or minced raw beef.
This is often served with onions, capers and seasonings (the latter typically incorporating fresh ground pepper and Worcestershire sauce), sometimes with a raw egg yolk, and often on rye bread.
