Being locked in a building with 2.8 tonnes of cheese seems the opposite of a problem to me... but they're now doing online sales if anyone is a fan of high quality mouldy cheese

Minimum order, 2 wheels

[dusky solstice]

Indo-Chinese-Italian bangers and mash with sumac and ponzu pickled cabbage

[tired stump]

So fancy!

[molten crypt]

Looks lovely, I think my tastebuds would throw a fit. Pickled anything makes them grumpy.

[molten crypt]

I'm eating these, they're nummy.

[vale kelp]

omg Moon, those are my favorite chips. nom!

[red herald]

They consider eggs as vegetarian here 🤔

Just ordered an omelette and he was like that's just veg do you also want non veg

I said no non veg, and its just a plain omelette no veggies

[vague crow]

Eggs don't require hurting the chicken so some vegetarians accept them

[red herald]

Interesting

So it's like dairy products, they're also considered veg too

[vague crow]

The different levels of vegetarian are interesting. Like some are okay with fish even

[red herald]

Eggs are mostly unfertilized

[vague crow]

Mhm

[vale kelp]

vegetarian is not the same as vegan.

vegan is no animal products or animal byproducts.

pescatarian would be the type of diet that includes fish iirc.

[vague crow]

That sounds right

Wait wait
Sohail
You said you didnt want vegetarian and just got egg?

Like. I would think it would be like. Ham or smth

[red herald]

I said I didn't want non-veg

As the guy mentioned that their Spanish omelette had chicken and shrimp

I love unagi sauce on Popcorn, also popcorn makes for interesting take on grits

[weak mantle]

how does one allow popcorn to interact with grits

[dusky solstice]

basically you pop popcorn, then cook it with seasoning and cream (or coconut cream/milk) and it turns into a sorta faux-grits

[weak mantle]

[dusky solstice]

Google popcorn grits and shrimp you'll see example recipes

Nice. we usually get a Peach cobbler Bread that makes the most Fabulous frenchtoast. but since covid its gone out of production - 😦 been exploring options and old standards

[vale kelp]

french toast is my favorite sweet breakfast option...sigh. especially old school french toast my mom used to make me. there are a lot of cool variations i've tried (not making but eating lol) since

[vapid pecan]

Yeah it's once a week in our house - recently trying with a new Lemon bread - def different but subtle lemon - i tend to use little to no syrup - altho a rasperry syrup might not be bad with it

[dusky solstice]

I've been meaning to try to do french toast with milk bread

they're proper triangles rather than bendy cones

this is how they look for me most of the time

[neon grove]

I suck so mine are mis-shapen when I try to make them

OOOH

Over here a lot of them are made like this

People cheat and use spring roll wrappers

You get the proper one, few places do it like that near me here

I'm not allowed to eat for another hour, I shouldn't look at this channel

[molten crypt]

I've never had those

Does it have onions?

[neon grove]

It does but you can ask to not have them

They make meat ones too but I don't eat those

Mutton rolls though

My favourite (courtesy of Google)

[molten crypt]

As long as there's no onions, pickles, or corn I'll try it.

[neon grove]

I remember you are picky

I am the same with mushrooms

@placid terrace I'll have you know those crispy onions are bloody delicious

[placid terrace]

I’ve got heartburn just looking at it

[vale kelp]

i got heartburn before i even saw it. but i think it's unrelated

i bet the crispy onions does make it yummier. i'd just add some mustard tho.

[weak mantle]

try looking at pictures of oranges, helps

[neon grove]

I ran out of NY deli style mustard and wholegrain just isn't right

Thank for reminded me of my shortcomings

Pickles

Recipe plus doing

I didn’t have any dill

So they are not dill pickles

[weak mantle]

dillless pickles

[charred berry]

Y'all cut up the cucumber to pickle it?

[weak mantle]

they can be slices, spears or whole

[charred berry]

Whole

[weak mantle]

whatever floats thy boat

[tired stump]

I bought pickles once that were called Baby Wholes

[tired stump]

It was an English cucumber

I did not have a jar that large

[dusky solstice]

what's really nice, and I find it best with the results of pickled red onions.... when you finish the pickles, strain the juice, then add sugar, bring it to a simmer for a bit, then thicken with corn/potato starch. You'll have a sauce that taste just like the pickles (the more pickles you had backed into your jar, the more it taste like the pickles instead of vinegar. It's what I use when making sliders so they stay nice and neat and not messy

[tired stump]

So the pickle juice turns into pickles soaking liquid?

[coral lake]

Japanese food

[charred berry]

Did you use chef mike for the rice?

[dusky solstice]

basically. Usually you use it to brine chicken/pork in. But you can turn it into a sauce too.

[coral lake]

Nah its fresh, it does sit on a stove though

[charred berry]

Good

[tired stump]

Interesting

[dusky solstice]

if you ever do popcorn chicken or a traditional small bite karaage, brine the chicken in pickle juice first, such a nice flavor then

[tired stump]

Like chick fil a

[dusky solstice]

sorta

[vale kelp]

that looks nom

[tired stump]

Day 1.5

[molten crypt]

How long does it take for them to become pickled?

If I'm even asking that right, I don't eat pickled foods

[tired stump]

There to five days

Three to five

[molten crypt]

Oh, I was assuming longer, neat

[dusky solstice]

a Quick pickle is about 15 minutes for say cabbage. For those, you can "shortcut it" and get about 80% quality from doing a 20 minute simmer. But usually you are looking at 2 days to 2 weeks

[molten crypt]

Nice, I've never enjoyed pickles but I am curious about trying other pickled things

Pickles its a texture issue

makes me 🤢

[uneven elk]

there's diff texture of pickles, some are more crisp, some are soggy thick lettuce lol, I like the crisp ones best tho

[hidden quail]

Soggy pickles are ew

[uneven elk]

for a sweet pickle, that's not overly weird sweet, I like Bubbies bread and butter chips

[dusky solstice]

pickled mushrooms are great

[uneven elk]

Haven't tried that, but I'm picky with mushrooms, I don't like slimy textured ones, so usually fresh or dried when cooking with them

[tired stump]

i'll try either sour krauts 😛 or a "light kimchee" next

[hidden quail]

In going to make pickles today i think

Cucumber and something else

What else should I do

[weak mantle]

beets

[vale kelp]

omg i love beets

[tired stump]

i also plan to do cauliflower

carrots don't soften when pickled so f those guys

[vague crow]

Pickled beets are amazing

[red herald]

beets are cool until ya poop red

[tired stump]

i ent skeert

[hidden quail]

Aaa nooo I messed upp

I read it wrong and put the salt in with the brine instead of salting the cucumber first

Will it still be edible

[tired stump]

I put the salt in the water

6.5% salinity or sth

[weak mantle]

pickling things is IN in this channel

[dusky solstice]

yeah I do the salt-sugar-vinegar together, and put the cucumber in that

just make sure if you are using water, you use at least 50% + a splash of vinegar, so there is always more vinegar than water

[tired stump]

Also

[tired stump]

Plating is not my specialty

[hidden quail]

That looks so goooood

[tawny musk]

I ate some chicken. Hated it.

[tired stump]

How did you prep it?

[molten crypt]

I didn't

Which is why I hated it.

That and I haven't been enjoying meat anymore, just lost my taste for it.

[tired stump]

oh well that is reasonable

tofu/tempeh/seitan are good protein alternatives

[charred berry]

What kinda cheeses y'all prefer?

[tired stump]

All cheeses?

My funk limit is in the neighborhood of Stilton

My bland limit is also pretty low

I enjoy Muenster

Looks 9/10, but cookies look a bit crunchy

I like cookies chewy

[dusky solstice]

Gochujang ragu, on top of iceberg lettuce slices, on top of kimchi, on top of sumac rice

[dusky solstice]

Ha!

It does in a way, maybe that's why dogs love it

In the end though, you bring your fork thru it and it mixed so doesn't look as much like that

[tired stump]

Tis
Like I said nothing fancy, teriyaki glaze from a bottle

[tired stump]

til that if you have natural peanut butter or almond butter that has seized up, it means that you didn't stir it enough before using

but that you can fix it by adding a little bit of vegetable oil

also i have an important q for @dusky solstice later once i get empty space on my calendar

[dusky solstice]

@tired stump yeah?

[tired stump]

trying to cheat and convert a bottled sauce (i.e. the teriyaki i used) into a "pan sauce" that is more meaty/rounded for pouring on rice etc.

last time i used shortening 😮 😄

[dusky solstice]

use water or stock

put the sauce into a small bowl. add water in little bits while stirring

once it thins out but is of one texture, then there you go

then you can heat that up in a pan with whatever to give more flavor if you want (or use a nice stock to bypass that)

[tired stump]

thanks! i was afraid to use chicken stock to fill out a sauce for salmon...is that okay?

[dusky solstice]

yeah, I'd go with a normal chicken stock or water if making it for salmonm

just make sure you add the stock/water TO the sauce, not the other way around

that way it incorporates much better and you can control it to the thickness you want

go slightly thinner than you want, when you heat some of the water will come out and it'll thicken a bit more

you can also mount it if you want. When you have liquid mixed in, heat it up and add some butter

stir the butter in as it melts, make it a rich teriyaki

[tired stump]

i think that was what i was trying to achieve with the shortening

thick and rich

[dusky solstice]

yeah google "mounting a sauce" that should explain a bit more how it works

[tired stump]

so sauce > add water > heat > add butter like a butter sauce

[dusky solstice]

that's what I would attempt at first

yeah, add the butter once that mix just gets warm

and it'll slowly incorporate into it

[tired stump]

yeah i have that technique after 20 years of breaking sauces lol

[dusky solstice]

hahsa

oh and a neat trick of old, is a rolled naked roux when doing a pan gravy for chops

you take butter, season it with herbs and spices, roll it into a ball, then roll it in flour

When the chops are cooking, add some beer, stock, whatever, then when that simmers, add in that butter flour ball

it'll over time melt and thicken it all into a niceness

[tired stump]

interesting

[weak mantle]

oh dang, i’d be worried about all the flies and bugs n stuff

[tired stump]

currently drying at 150F for 4 hours with "super-convection" aka high fan speed

rice is done and keeping warm

beef was too dried out, i should have kept it at 120F

still edible but more like a true jerky 😄

are you a private chef?

[dusky solstice]

I've worked as a cook and chef in restaurants, and I've done catering and private chef gigs yes

[uneven elk]

oh awesome, you cook some interesting dishes, stuff I've never thought to pair together 😄

[dusky solstice]

I was lucky, well bittersweet, to grow up in a restaurant that had people from around the world pour thru so I was always exposed to a wide range. I hate being trapped inside a box so I always tried to make myself bounce between things and it affected my cooking that way

also though, funny enough, the pairing in those dishes are not even that creative, they are pretty standard combinations, just not necessarily in say the US

but next week I am getting creative, going to do the whole poached Turnips again, but this time, coconut milk, a raspberry reduction, and the water from re-hydrated arbol chilies

[tired stump]

For a second I thought it was a lychee

[dusky solstice]

[uneven elk]

It was good, it was bf's first time trying kimchi, was trying to go a more subtle way of introducing it since he's not a fan of cabbage lol

[wispy finch]

Yum, I love kimchi fried rice.
I add a touch of gochujang to the eggs, could also use that on the chicken if you're adding that too.

[tired stump]

Am I allowed to post my massive icecream stockpile here?

[tired stump]

Let’s see

[weak mantle]

[tired stump]

i think i like it better with chicken stock than with beef stock

[ivory herald]

Looks good

[desert iron]

My choices were applesauce or cold hardboiled eggs.
My breakfast:

[tired stump]

is there an egg in that jar

be honest

[desert iron]

No.

[tired stump]

sus

[desert iron]

I promise. I was loyal to the applesauce. There is no cold hardboiled eggs in there 😇

[tired stump]

ok ok

[desert iron]

Although I might be having hard boiled eggs for lunch, if I’m too lazy to make Pho 🍜

I’ll probably make Pho and put a hardboiled egg in the pho when I cook it

[weak mantle]

I left one without onions because @placid terrace commented on the amount of onions last time

[placid terrace]

It looks more delicious without the onions

I just feel a pain in my pancreas looking at all that fried onion

[tired stump]

[neon grove]

Just take it out

Your pancreas

[placid terrace]

[placid terrace]

You heard the guy, only a single sausage between those buns next time

[weak mantle]

WHOA! double dogs

[neon grove]

ADAM

I'll stick how ever many sausages between my buns as I see fit

[dawn imp]

1 dog is a party, 2 dogs is a crowd

[weak mantle]

it looks less delicious without onions

[neon grove]

My buns my choice

[neon grove]

I added them later don't tell Adam

[placid terrace]

😮

[dawn imp]

The buns look so fake and the dogs just don’t even looked cooked

Looks like you just got a kids play set for hot dogs

[neon grove]

Yeah I ate them raw

[weak mantle]

ok it's our little secret

[neon grove]

Like a fucking idiot

[placid terrace]

The real important question is

[neon grove]

Hell never know

[placid terrace]

Is that english mustard

[neon grove]

No

[dawn imp]

Heinz mustard

[placid terrace]

gtfo

[neon grove]

Adam that's for my ham and cheese toasties

Spicy English

That's a good nickname for Adam

Not Heinz either

[placid terrace]

😄

[neon grove]

I only have Heinz ketchup

[placid terrace]

rly though, should be english mustard

same quantity too

maybe more

I love mustard

[neon grove]

Jesus man

I do love mustard

All types

And horseradish

I wanted to be authentic @weak mantle though

[placid terrace]

Sometimes I'll make a steak sandwich

[dawn imp]

I like that new Kaijun sauce from McDonald’s 🙄🥵🥵

[neon grove]

Otherwise he gets offended

[placid terrace]

spread it with mustard instead of butter

mmmm

[neon grove]

Exactly

But need butter

Plenty of butter

Melt it and soak the sandwich in it

[placid terrace]

then deep fry it

that's the scottish way

[neon grove]

Now we're talkin

Chicken fry it too

Deep chicken fried mars bar

[weak mantle]

[fair siren]

Finally made wings so my dad could try them

[neon grove]

@fair siren nice salad

[fair siren]

avacado

[tired stump]

10/10 would eat

[stuck palm]

hmm haven't had wings in a while, might have to get some

maybe have them on a bbq

[dusky solstice]

@stuck palm If you want a new way to do wings, do San Bei Ji, but using chicken wings. It also called 3 cup chicken, and wings are shockingly the best cut for it

and it is IMO, the only way to eat a wing non-crispy

[stuck palm]

Hmm interesting, ill look into it

Thanks!

[dusky solstice]

https://thewoksoflife.com/three-cup-chicken-san-bei-ji/

that's a good base, you can adjust as you want

you don't need the specific kind of basil and what not

[stuck palm]

Nice

[dusky solstice]

and the nice thing is you can apply the idea of the dish to many different flavors/cuts

the chicken wing won't be crispy, it'll be soft, almost gelatinous, but not in a way westerners find offensive usually

[mystic pasture]

How come no one fries tomatoes?

[mystic pasture]

offensive?

[dusky solstice]

Not the best word, but not something most there like. The gelatinous soft texture work

[mystic pasture]

I suppose

I feel like that's less true as time goes on

although, I supposed by stereotype, americans like their fried chicken, lol

which is true

KFC...Chicken-fila...Popeyes...

[dusky solstice]

That texture is pretty much non existence in western cuisine and I think chicken wings in san Bei Ji is the best to promote it

[hidden quail]

I've never heard of chicken being made like that

I'm good at trying new stuff so long as it isn't too, well, structured I guess

If it's meat

It's why I can't really enjoy steak that much

[tired stump]

too much structure

[dusky solstice]

I'm applying the San Bei Ji approach to wings but doing a fillipino adobo base to it isntead next week if I can get wings good

but right now their rpice is sooo high

[hidden quail]

I was bought up veggie so I had a lot of imitation meat, and I'm used to that texture haha

Things that have distinct parts (meaty bits, fatty bits, bone etc) are still out of my comfort zone

[tired stump]

Yeah my wife eats meat but hates bones

I think it should disqualify you from eating meat

If you can’t reconcile the life that you are taking by eating it

[hidden quail]

It's not that it's from an animal really

It's just the mouth feel

I'm good with stuff like fish because the texture is closer to what I'm used to

[tough mural]

Has anyone tried portobello mushroom jerky?

It's like vegetarian and instead of beef its substituted with portobello mushroom?

You can get it a sprouts or probably whole foods

[dusky solstice]

they have it all over here now, normal supermarket, even walmart

it's eh...

[fallow fractal]

late night fried eggs <3

[mystic pasture]

😦

My tilapia & rice came out sorta blah

[tired stump]

overcooked?

[mystic pasture]

not sure

just...bland

I followed this recipe that called for capers, butter, lemon juice, cayenne, salt/pepper

sounded good, but honestly, it was just...blah

I mean, I do feel satiated, so it was a good balance of protein/carbs/fat

[tired stump]

i do use capers but i also add tomatillo salsa or salsa verde and i make sure to crisp the edges of the tilapia with longer or higher heat

and oil plus butter

[mystic pasture]

hmmm

the salsa idea might work

I feel like the capers might get lost in the flavor, though

it'd have to be fresh salsa verde

chunky

the chips and salsa kind is too watery

coconut curry: fish or chicken?

[tired stump]

Either

I do chicken with yellow coconut curry

[hidden quail]

OK here's my ice cream flavour pitch

Smoky whiskey and apple

[red herald]

ok that sounds AWESOME in theory

[hidden quail]

My ice cream maker is on its way

I'm going to try and make it once I figure out what I'm actually doing haha

[placid terrace]

I mean worst case if you fuck it up you can just have whiskey and ice cream.

[tired stump]

i bet deaf chef has ideas but my thoughts are to sautee mini diced apple in butter and sugar and cinnamon just enough to meld but not disintegrate them, then spread them out on a cookie sheet and freeze them (or in batches)...i would find some way to get the whiskey into a caramel after the caramel stops boiling (or buy caramel sauce and heat it just enough to incorporate the whiskey)

i would use a vanilla base and add the chilled sauce and frozen apple bits right at the end of the churn

+$0.02USD

[hidden quail]

That sounds a good idea

I've heard you can just put whiskey into the base too if you get the ratio right

But I really like that idea

[tired stump]

true, i would be afraid of liquefying it though

i don't trust myself

[hidden quail]

Yeah I'd need to be careful to not add too much

[placid terrace]

idk, I can see the appeal of ice cream that gets you wrecked after two scoops

[tired stump]

nice

"Tennessee Autumn" ™️

[placid terrace]

might need some sort of stabiliser

stop the cream separating when the booze is added

[tired stump]

(the caramel)

[placid terrace]

dunno what's used commercially

oh

it's called ice cream stabiliser

lmao

[tired stump]

oh

til

except they spelled it wrong

:p

bir'isht

[hidden quail]

Huh I'll have to look into getting some

I'll try and make chocolate ice cream first I think

If that goes well I'll try the whiskey

If it doesn't I'll keep practicing haha

[tired stump]

chakolaaaaat

with peanut butter

my fave

[hidden quail]

Yum

Ooh an idea for the whiskey ice cream

Not sure if this would be overkill but

Would a small drop of liquid smoke in there go well do you reckon?

I think it might be a bit busy with the cinnamon so it might be a one or the other thing

This idea totally isn't based off a cocktail I had

[tired stump]

if your whisky is aged in a smoked barrel i would say no

but you are the captain of your...ice cream maker

[hidden quail]

I'm not sure it will be smoked, since I can't afford good whiskey haha

If it's not smoked I'll look into using it

[tired stump]

aintnobodygottimeforthat

[tired stump]

lmgtfy https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/smoked-ice-cream 😛

oh a paywall stoopit

either way it validates your idea

i'm intrigued by the idea of smoked salt in ice cream 😮

[hidden quail]

That sounds really nice!

[tired stump]

that is like five steps above my idea

like, i don't have anything to smoke salt or malt

[hidden quail]

My other idea is coffee and walnut ice cream

[dusky solstice]

smoked salts, you can also toast/smoke any added sugar

you can smoke the cream you use too

[tired stump]

i briefly considered buying a smoking pan from food52

but it felt like a unitasker

[vague crow]

Sauce
It's gonna be a cake topping

[weak mantle]
