Heh, given Adam’s passionate speech, if you do go ahead with flipping, then make sure you use a good spatula and let the bottom cook enough so it doesn’t break. I usually gauge by waiting till I can see the top side solidifying.

Dairy free coconut butter chicken with Yemen curry base over egg noodles with chicken skin bacon for texture. Ye gods that feels hipster to describe.
dusky solstice
@zealous crown So instead of one of the normal curry bases for butter chicken I used the Yemen spice mix Hawaij, which is pretty similar honestly. The one I have on hand is made from Garlic, Coriander, Allspice, Cumin, Black Pepper, Turmeric, Cardamom, Ginger, Cinnamon, Cloves, Nutmeg.
Though technically even calling it a curry is.. a regional thing

Well, anything with a bit of kick would be considered a curry, so you got coriander and all spice in there. Heh, defo a curry.

The curry like you get from a curry shop is just one of many types, usually one of the ones created by the Brits during their imperialistic phase when they stole all the spices and couldn't figure them out
placid terrace

dark spade
Basically any combination of spices is a curry, though often it then made into a sauce
@dusky solstice says whom?
tired stump
damn colonialists
dusky solstice
says the English language. The word doesn't exist in Indian languages because they call the specific dishes by their own names. It was a catchall word used to describe general spice mixes from India, Africa, even the Asias
Then they got specific with garam masala, which is a spice mix that is also spicy
which is also a bit more proper terminology compared to Curry
There are a few good documentaries that go into the misunderstanding of curry, and the efforts to change that
dusky solstice
I mean the word originally literally meant "sauce for rice", and back in early 1600s IIRC, the EIC would trade for what translated out as Curry Powder but was really a sauce mix, any number of different kinds.
Then the Brits plunder India, bring all the spices back, can't figure out what to do with them, so they started doing them in that manner
brought that back with them to India, had their servants prep that and the Indians to some extent incorporated some of those into using various local spice/ingredients
and then, partly because of racism, mostly because of lazyness, a lot of traditional Indian dishes died out, and many that remained got tossed under the ubiquitous "curry"
tired stump
i always thought it was weird that you add garam masala to things when there are already a bunch of things in it
dusky solstice
@tired stump This of it this way. The curry powders and garam masala, they differ by brand, by household, and will have multiple types. They are made up of not just different ratios, but different preparations. The cardamom might be toasted before ground, might be raw, might be a 3:1 ratio to the cumin (which also might be toasted or not)
so you have all those ingredients in it, then you add the mix to fine tune (or rather the other way around depending)
tired stump
like chili base
dusky solstice
yeah that's a great example
If you are doing a flavor heavy chili that isn't focused on the meat, use ground whole pork shoulder/butt.
oh it lets everything just shine
and is a great base for a Japanese/Asian profiled chili
tired stump
💧
zealous crown
@dusky solstice that was amazingly accurate. I haven’t met a single person irl who knows about EIC and spices to this degree. I never bother with telling friends the actual names of dishes sometimes. And the fact that you know how personal garam masala is, it’s bloody impressive tbh. 🙂

tired stump
i'll drop them a note 😛
zealous crown
I have never used both sumac AND paprika together.
dusky solstice
ha actually thougjh check out a spice mix called za'atar. It a mix of Sumac, sesame seeds, Oregano, and Thyme
I wasn't paying attention and used smoked paprika in place of paprika when I was making egg salad last month. Oh, oof
tired stump
top chef contestants are frequently dropping that zataar
i occasionally use the sweet turkish paprika as a garnish to deviled eggs, which worked fine for me
but not in the mix
dusky solstice
yeah I used A LOT thinking it was paprika. Usually I use paprika with a tiny bit of white pepper
zealous crown
Zataar is quite common in Arab households though.
dusky solstice
yeah sometimes I make a small batch of egg salad and use that for tacos in the morning
my ex is Turkish, it was like pulling teeth to figure out what meats they eat though because (and I guess it is a Middle-East and Persian thing), they just call everything red meat, or chicken
I'd see a dish I didn't see before and ugh....
Though the Urfa/Adama kebab difference still amuses me greatly because the Adama is spicy using Urfa, and the Urfa Kebab isn't spicy and has no Urfa in it

Was asking my cousin for the avocado mayo recipe. But it includes raw egg as an ingredient. And that took me down a research rabbit hole (as usz) about health safety with raw eggs. Learned a lot.
Figured I'd share that instead

@vale kelp in the US, only about 88 in 9 billion raw commercial eggs are dangerous
Because of the process they go thru for open market
vale kelp
Well, that's part of what's discussed in the article. Re: pasteurized eggs. You still have a risk. So you can use your risks accordingly, based on knowledge provided by them food scientists.
What was most insightful is learning how acidic foods like vinegar and lemon / lime juice reduce those risks.
Same with sugar. Hence why some foods commonly prepared in various cuisines allow for raw eggs using those ingredients, which are reducing the likelihood of bad bacteria. Oh they also mention spices like oregano and thyme.
dusky solstice
I still use raw in my milkshake, and tehcnially it cooks when making Tomago Gohan
What we used to do was use farm eggs for quality and in some of the same dishes use commercial raw for safety
vale kelp
Definitely insightful.
@zealous crown I'm clueless in the kitchen but thought you'd appreciate the science behind this topic 
placid terrace
I know the numbers but it's just not worth it

I don't know the numbers for other countries but 9.7777777777777777777777777777778e-9% chance of getting it in the US is worth it for me

I've no desire to spend whole days shitting through the eye of a needle just because something might taste slightly better

In CA I get specific ones if I want raw, not their normal ones. In general in other places same thing

EU has a lower incidence of salmonella from eggs vs the USA, despite the higher population
chickens have to be vaccinated here
91,000 a year EU, vs 142,000 USA
EU 446 million people, US 328 million
dusky solstice
Eh... that's a bit misleading (the US number), but it is technically correct
not all of those came from eggs first off, it just that's what gets checked off often when trying to figure it out and can't single out a cause. Second off, almost all of those were from farm eggs
and finally, most of those involved the shell
For better or worse, the US likes to overcount when reporting things, or rather likes to be vague in what they include in stats
placid terrace
"About 142,000 people in the United States are infected each year with Salmonella Enteritidis from chicken eggs"
dusky solstice
yep, but we have two types of chicken eggs herre
and the number I was talking about before invovled just the raw interior of the commercial egg
that 142k contains the people getting sick from farm eggs, and whole eggs (with shell)
placid terrace
I'm sure it's of great comfort to the 20 people a year that shit themself to death that it wasn't the egg, it was the shell
dusky solstice
well if you handle it properly, that likely won't happen
stop eating raw farm eggs and licking their shells and statistically you'll be fine
we are full of morons though
placid terrace
Good job everyone always does things properly then, and never ever drops a fragment of shell 🙄
dusky solstice
yeah it happens, but to say don't eat raw eggs is just fearmongering
instead just say, go ahead, just handle it right
placid terrace
how do i know if the person who prepared it handled it right?
dusky solstice
how do you know the person who prepared anything from food to the car you drive right?
that's social contract you just have to trust
or handle it yoruself
but I mean think about it, all sorts of sauces, dressings, etc... are made with raw egg with no problem
why? Because the people making them handle the eggs right and use the correct kind of eggs
placid terrace
I can trust other foods because to fuck them up you have to be wilfully malicious
Or grossly negligent
dusky solstice
you'd have to be on the commercial eggs too
that's my point
the system in place is the same one that makes sure your meats are not crawling with parasites and non-common food borne pathogens
placid terrace
I don't eat raw meat either
The point of using raw egg is that it's raw, is it not?
otherwise that'd be cooked egg
dusky solstice
not in the US, because even "raw" most commercial eggs have been pre-"cooked" from a food safety perspective
they are often pasteurized
now I mean I eat raw meat, I know the risks with that, and I can recognize that risk is greater than eggs by fafr
placid terrace
I'm really not sure what you're point is, you can't simultaneously claim that the infections are due to shell contamination then bang on about pasturisation
and how it protects people
the fact is that even with the controls in place, a large number of people every year end up with food poisoning
dusky solstice
actually the infections are due to mostly farm eggs
dusky solstice
no they are not, not in the US is my point
we have two types here
Farm eggs and Commercial eggs
they undergo different safety standards
placid terrace
I can't go into a kitchen at a restaurant and start inspecting the heritage of every egg that passes through
dusky solstice
yes actually you can
they have to use commercial eggs
there are exceptions
but very few restaurants are using farm eggs
placid terrace
no, i can't my life is too short and I don't want to eat raw egg
dusky solstice
okay
I mean that's fine, I have nothing against not having raw egg, people like what they like, I just don't like when people don't do it for reasons that don't make sense
as opposed to reasons as simple as "I don't like them"

What a name, Americano. 😏
Good coffee and Americano in the same sentence would make it feel so incongruous. Americano is essentially diluted coffee. 🤐
There is a popular, but unconfirmed, belief that the name has its origins in World War II when American G.I.s in Italy would dilute espresso with hot water to approximate the coffee to which they were accustomed.

She's in Colombia. So I can't taste the bread (which is probably for the better cuz I'd eat it all lol). But I've had some of her baked goods before and they're so yummm. She can also choose much better and healthier ingredients than what you'd get elsewhere.

both

i don't like sweet things either

there's a few that use sweetner instead

but i've found "dried ginger pieces" sold a few places

Yeah, exactly. It cracks me up (well and it annoys me too) how in the US, something will say "sugar free" and it just means full of fake sweeteners and extra sweet. 
So the word to look for is "unsweetened."

@dusky solstice thanks! Do you use ginger paste, raw ginger or frozen cubes from supermarket? Because I used ginger paste from a market in my thai soup and oooomph, it left a very sharp taste.
Heheh you won’t have to do any helping. Just sit your pretty arse in my kitchen while I cook and gab. Then we game!
dusky solstice
I have a tube of basically ginger puree, one moment I'll show you. It is sharp, but it works when I want a shortcut
The small tube of actual paste works too as a shortcut
Not as good as taking the time to use fresh ginger, but gotta do what gotta do
zealous crown
Ooo that looks good! The ones I buy come in frozen cubes, but I only use them in curries because the consistency varies from batch to batch. I should probably check out an asian store.
dusky solstice
For a broth that should be fine though

Frozen cubes may be healthier if less preservatives?

Baked maple donuts topped with cinnamon and turbinado sugar!
The original recipe calls for regular sugar, but my rule of thumb is that any topping mix that calls for sugar can be subbed with turbinado and it instantly elevates it

@placid terrace depends on which process they use for brown sugar
zealous crown
I use demerara mostly anyway, as we do back home. Refined sugar is mostly used in hot beverages. But yeah, thanks!
placid terrace
to make it less cloudy, it's filtered through collagen
that collagen traditionally comes from fish swim bladders
zealous crown
Wow. That is incredible. Ty.
placid terrace
there's not a real replacement for it either
zealous crown
That is super cool. I wonder how they came across that solution.
Tbh, I have some sinister thoughts.
I have muslim relatives here, who are oh so uppity about their halal food. Like fcking skittles. Would be fun informing them about sugar. 👿
placid terrace
It's a fairly recent thing iirc, only around 250 years
So I think it's something that they went looking for
sent beer through a bunch of random stuff to see what made it less cloudy
anything that uses gelatin or collagen probably isn't vegan too
gelatin is still made from cows
there's some colourings that are made from beetle shells
reds and browns
some people consider avocado's not to be vegan, remember reading that
they can only be fertilised by bees, so the avocado farms have captive bee populations
placid terrace
the beetle thing really catches people out, it's evrywhere
zealous crown
I am just surprised they would still. It cannot be cost effective to extract stuff from insects that can be produced artificially in a machine.
dusky solstice
Avocado, squash, honey, kiwi, and a few others are technically not vegan by the strictest sense
What's weird though is cooking with alcohol is allowable in Islam but most don't realize that. It is only wrong to consume or produce for the purpose of intoxication
Or even to contribute to such, which technically makes the Saudi government breaking Islam rules, but they care about money so they don't change
zealous crown
Heh, none of this is about the scripture. There are so many sects, and so many cultures under one umbrella that no one adheres or interprets the laws in a similar fashion. But I guess that is a bit heavy for here.
But yeah, the muslims in UK are the most finicky ones I have ever met. And I have been to KSA.
