[dusky solstice]

the secret to good split pea soup, which I learned from my Roommate who got from their mother.... allspice

but we do ours with ham hock, diced ham, and start with bacon (which gets taken out when cooked and sits out to crumble over each serving)

[wispy finch]

That's basically how I do mine but I use smoked, cubed shank instead of regular ham, and never tried the allspice.
Will give it a shot.

I add chive flowers for garnish too, love those things.

[dusky solstice]

the allspice really is what shocked me. It like just... wow

It's not one of my go to or even favorite seasonings but fuck does it work for that

[tired stump]

read this as ground turkey cookies

[upper wind]

Tbh until you said this I thought them saying they used ground turkey was meant as a joke response to the cookies

Not what the empanadas were made out of

[gaunt island]

That how you make the best cookies ofc

[upper wind]

Indeed. I sure love me some ground turkey cookies.

its fucking awful

I've only had it in Hawaii

[weak mantle]

it looks very not good

maybe good as an ointment

face cream

[fluid spruce]

slap it

[subtle quarry]

I can assure you it does not taste like a mix of banana, pineapple, and coconut

[weak mantle]

huh. now i wanna try it

maybe you had a bad one

[vale kelp]

mee too

[onyx laurel]

Taro / Ube ice cream is good. Can agree it doesn't taste like bananas.

[north magnet]

its pretty fucking vile lol

[wispy finch]

Poi when fresh is actually kind of sweet.
Never heard it described as like bananas before.
And we get some good bananas.
😁
Some people prefer poi that has soured some, that's more of an acquired taste and not likely to be served to visitors.

[wispy finch]

Bear in mind those are different plants/products.

[wispy finch]

Im always puzzled when people have such a strong reaction to poi.
It's just kind of a boring starch.
If you came to Hawai'i, you had opportunities to try much more, um, unusual foods.

Like this
https://burntmyfingers.com/2016/03/24/recipe-ake-raw-liver-poke/

Serves 6-8 Hawaiians or maybe 100 haoles
😁

[subtle quarry]

I went to Hawaii when I was roughly 13 or so

Any opportunities I had were decided by my parents

Yea I'm not eatin liver

Especially raw

[wispy finch]

Makes for way better stories.
😁

There's an old comedy routine that comes to mind, where the Hawaiian guy describes everything on a buffet in the most casual yet disgusting manner to a curious tourist.

[weak mantle]

blasphemy

never too much

[hidden quail]

Well that was a disaster

I think it's put me off macaroni cheese lol

[tired stump]

but why

was there mac

was there cheese

[weak mantle]

mac n cheese can go from boring and overly simple to over complicated really fast

[wispy finch]

One of the best I've ever had was really simple

I tend to lean the other direction lol

[weak mantle]

the cheese needs to at least have a nice flavor

some cheeses used in it make it taste like mac n cheese for picky children

[gaunt island]

Fried rice, cooking was flawless until I cut my thumb chopping spring onions

[fluid spruce]

[upper wind]

I eat pancakes plain

Cower before my power.

[real nimbus]

i don't understand you

[tired stump]

so you are eating flat bread

[upper wind]

Not quite

It’s store bought pancake mix

It’s the Aunt Jemima (no longer called that for whatever reason) brand

So by itself it has sweetness to it

[weak mantle]

whoa

[stuck palm]

most of the time or a drizzle of maple syrup

[weak mantle]

pictures that kid in all those movies that hurriedly walks through the kitchen in the morning and just grabs a plain waffle off the plate and leaves for school

i’ve done that

my go to breakfast almost everday since a child and even today is usually just a bowl of cereal

[wispy finch]

Someone gave me some of this mix and I loved it.

I love the fairly minimal setup, a few good tools > a bunch of junk.
Looks like some Globals?
Never got along with those myself but I know many people do

[tired stump]

Honestly the shun is my go to

[dusky solstice]

Yeah the handle throws a lot of people off, but I got an early generation G2 and is my favorite knife ever

[tired stump]

my problem with the shun is that it has a right-hand bump and i'm left handed 😄

[dusky solstice]

Ah I have the G2 chef knife, and use with my left hand no issue

haven't actually held their shun

i mean I haven't held their santoku

I think Shu makes an ambidexterous one now

But if you want a laser, look at Takamura Gyuto

[tired stump]

does it sharpen the same?

[dusky solstice]

gotta be a bit more careful with it, but it much sharper

probably the the best laser under 250

[tired stump]

is your global 8 or 10 inch?

@dusky solstice

[dusky solstice]

8

[tired stump]

interesting, i kept thinking i needed to upgrade to a 10 but maybe not

[dusky solstice]

I can see my self needing a 10 more often in a professional kitchen, but at home 8 is good

[tired stump]

and honestly the nakiri has been impressive so far

Ken Onion lives in my neighborhood as it happens.
Nice guy.

At an old job, one day this little girl busted out a Ken Onion knife to open a package, and I happened to have a nearly matching one in my pocket.
So I pulled mine out and said nice choice.
We laughed and used the assisted opening thing a few times and she tells me her uncle is Ken Onion!
A couple weeks later I got a really nice letter from Ken, and a T-shirt as well.

very wholesome

[molten crypt]

I've never had pumpkin soup :<

[vale kelp]

i must admit i'm not a huge fan of various pumpkin things. but pumpkin soup's pretty nom. feels homey to me at least. soothing on the tummy too.

[real nimbus]

Is good, naturally sweetens it up - it can get really thick tho so add more water if you don't like creamy soup.

[molten crypt]

What you made sounds really yummy. I like spinach n I love pumpkin

[wispy finch]

I make a pumpkin/curry soup occasionally

[vague crow]

Eggs, I guess

[uneven elk]

eggs with cheese?

[vague crow]

Ye

[vale kelp]

ooh i've never had cheese on sunny side up eggs like that before. looks neat!

[vague crow]

It's tasty

I'm still learning how to make sunny side up eggs but I think I did alright. Since they taste good and seem to look right

I usually make over-medium

[vale kelp]

ooh same!

[vale kelp]

they look amazing

[vague crow]

Oh and I didn't burn the bottom this time!!

It's a first. I've always burnt the bottom making them before

[weak mantle]

a good way to get it cooked but not overcook the yolk is put an ice cube in and put a lid on top to steam the top

[vague crow]

Oh no egg is typing. I'm sorry I cooked your cousins, egg!

Ooooohhh I'll try that next time if I remember! Thank you

[weak mantle]

though i prefer over medium

it’s okay

[vale kelp]

put an ice cube in the pan?

what does the ice do?

[weak mantle]

yeah, like a small piece of ice

[vague crow]

I do too. I just didn't feel like flipping them lol

[weak mantle]

steam

[vale kelp]

cuz it creates more steam?

[weak mantle]

yeah.

[vale kelp]

i assumed the lid would be enough for steam. interesting idea. will def have to try that sometime

[weak mantle]

not too much, don’t want water in there

[vale kelp]

cuz i'm definitely not a fan of runny eggs, as in, the white part being all watery...ewwww

[vague crow]

Yeahhh

[weak mantle]

yeah i don’t like the white part being jiggly

that’s how waffle house does it

[vale kelp]

they so smart

they know what's up

[weak mantle]

no i mean waffle house does runny jiggly whites

[vale kelp]

oooh ewwww

[uneven elk]

i just tell them go medium

so the white is done

[vale kelp]

we need a Zuggy Waffle House

[weak mantle]

medium 👌

[vale kelp]

yeah, i always request over medium cuz i don't trust most places

[uneven elk]

I usually do medium, but sometimes i will bust the white sac so i can have sunny up with finished whites

[wispy finch]

I like how well the cheese melted but the yolks still look soft.
👍

I hope never >:[

[real nimbus]

🌽

[weak mantle]

have you guys ever just picked an ear of corn right off the stalk and CHOMPED while walking?

but if i find it in Ramen, my rating of that ramen will go down

[tired stump]

have you guys ever just picked a block of ramen right out the bag and CHOMPED while walking?

[molten crypt]

@weak mantle I grew up near what is called "you pick farms" in which you go in and pick stuff yourself and when done you go back to the shack at the entrance and pay. The farmers would always tell you to taste before choosing. One farmer had some corn that was amazing fresh uncooked right from the stalk.

But I'm different with my ramen I suppose, depending on the ramen I love corn in it.

[weak mantle]

yeah idk why i dislike it. It seems when I go somewhere and order real ramen, it's overall just not as great when it has corn.

but raw is honestly the best, especially just out in nature

[molten crypt]

OOoooh I understand and yes I agree. When I've paid for Ramen and it had corn in it, it has never been "great" ramen.

its almost like a mediocre ramen and they thrown fillers like corn in it

[tired stump]

it's not called tonCORNsu

[weak mantle]

[wispy finch]

Corn isn't a dealbreaker for me.

Biscuits and gravy, my fav breakfast

[dusky solstice]

also known as buns and sauce

[weak mantle]

you know who has the worst gravy?

Cracker Barrel

[upper wind]

If I hear someone call them that irl I will become genuinely angry

[dusky solstice]

Don't they have a pretty good flour gravy? Or am I confusing that with another

[dusky solstice]

😂 I know, it a running joke among a group I know

[weak mantle]

it’s just a boring white gravy, very thin and pretty much flavorless

[dusky solstice]

I'm thinking of the wrong place then

haven't eaten in one in forever

Even though I've been in the industry a long time, because of my hearing issue, I didn't realize it was "flour gravy" and not "flower gravy" until I was like 18 or 19

[weak mantle]

oh ha

[molten crypt]

From west coast to east coast in the states I've never heard anyone call them that. But I guess there are pockets of people who name things what ever they want 😜 like Italian Americans calling tomato sauce "gravy" 🤪

small group of Italian Americans I might add

[wispy finch]

Eg calling chirashi sushi poke bowls.
😢 😁
I think we passed a tipping point, where that's more common than the genuine article.

[dusky solstice]

on the food server there was an almost hour long argument once over Char Siu vs Chaschu, turns out that they mean the same thing in some languages but different in others . Shouldn't have taken an hour to figure that out

[wispy finch]

Chinese has many Romanizations.
Eg kung hee fat choy/gong xi fa cai

Heck, even spoken natively, often times northerners and southerners can't understand each other despite using the same characters

I was told my grandfather was trying to show off his command of various dialects to a Navy buddy one time, when the Hong Kong cabbie had enough and said to said Navy buddy,
"I think your friend wants to go to some hotel?"

[dusky solstice]

The thing is, that IIRC right bit basically translates as roast pork for the two between Chinese to Japanese

but in English, well yeah one is braised other is roasted

[wispy finch]

Well you have various ways to spell the same characters

Eg Pinyin and Wade-Giles

So chaoshao or charsiu are both correct, for example

And Chinese isn't a phonetic language, so context matters too

My grandfather was well known in the local Chinese community for his char siu.
And he guarded that recipe tightly.
When he was getting on in years, my uncle eventually convinced him to share the recipe, and grandfather reluctantly wrote it all down.
Problem was, it was never nearly as good when uncle made it, and grandfather made sure he knew it lol.
Some years later after both grandparents passed, on top of some important financial papers, we found a weathered recipe.
And as you may have guessed, he gave a fake recipe to my uncle.
😆

I suppose if you want to make an argument for a proper spelling for English speakers you'd use the ones that approximate Cantonese, since char siu is associated with that region.
But you'll probably still get strange looks from the Mandarin speakers lol

[tired stump]

i also like to call everything gravy
dressing = salad gravy
marinara = pasta gravy
chocolate sauce = ice cream gravy

[wispy finch]

Smoosh's house of gravies

[weak mantle]

smoosh = human gravy

[tired stump]

Mmmm I would drink myself

It’s not already normal?

A chocolate cake made by my Irish-American friend L.M. She didn't specify what it was called, but I loved it!

[tired stump]

Step one

Step two

Step three, I munged it a bit getting it out of the pan

[dusky solstice]

looks like it wasn't the right pan for it, but looks like it taste good

[tawny musk]

Looks like my breakfast, just add a bit of ham

[dusky solstice]

I would have removed the mushrooms, then add the egg, then mushrooms back on after the egg just starts to set on the bottom so it doesn't tear thru

and then while the egg is just setting, get spatula under there gently to lift it a little so keep it from sticking too hard

[weak mantle]

Your omelet joint is beautiful Smoosh

[tired stump]

lazy omelette 😛

but i did broil the top and the pepper jack to set it

also don't say bad things about my carbon steel pan, you'll hurt its feelings 😄

[weak mantle]

yeah

[dusky solstice]

😂

looks seasoned very well

[weak mantle]

@tired stump to celebrate this omelette, you must now watch Phantom Thread

[tired stump]

i do season it every once in a while

[tired stump]

must i?

[real nimbus]

Yea it's a great movie

[flint willow]

[hidden quail]

Meat

Ngl it's really good

It tastes like somewhere in between chorizo and biltong

Very salty though

It goes well with (mild) cheese on crackers

[dusky solstice]

@hidden quail Spanish or Mexican Chorizo?

[hidden quail]

Spanish

[dusky solstice]

[weak mantle]

too late, but i made scrambled eggs with mushrooms and fresh garlic and some 21 grain bread 👌

[vale kelp]

ooh that sounds deeelish. i love eggs any time of day

[weak mantle]

breakfast is the best dinner

[vale kelp]

amen!

[molten crypt]

It could have been better
You could have had 22 grains

[tired stump]

but really 30-grain bread is the best

#memes🤡 👉 👈 #no-mans-steak🥩

[weak mantle]

that’s too many

i’ve never seen 30 grain

[tired stump]

then you've never lived son

[weak mantle]

load me with the grains so that i may live

[tired stump]

inb4 i post a gif that gets deleted

imagine 500 pounds of grain falling on your head

[weak mantle]

that would be satisfying

[vague crow]

Fried egg sandwich quesadilla thing

[fluid spruce]

What else is in it

[vague crow]

Ham and cheese

[vague crow]

He only cooks like. Scrambled eggs, and super super rarely grilled cheese. When he actually cooks at all

[tired stump]

tell him to smash through that gendered bullshit and get off his butt and cook 😛

[real nimbus]

Cooking is fun

My wife and I love cooking together. Today we made home made enchiladas Verde con pollo. Green chili chicken enchiladas

[paper sparrow]

Had a fried alligator sandwich for lunch today.

[nocturne hollow]

wow no man's sky fans have excellent taste

everything in this channel looks delicious

[tired stump]

even the alligator? 🐊

[upper wind]

Gators are one of those wild animals I personally don’t like seeing get killed, they’re so cool

But to be honest?

I’d probably still try that fried gator sandwich

After all, it’s already dead so might as well respect it by not letting it go to waste.

[weak mantle]

good life principle

[upper wind]

I suppose

[weak mantle]

if it’s dead, eat it

[upper wind]

That’s not what I meant per se

Some things are a bit too far out of bounds

Mostly more exotic ones that i’ve seen sold for food

Monkeys and stuff like that

[tired stump]

🙅‍♂️

[upper wind]

Some I won’t eat just because that crap is gross

Like fried tarantula

[tired stump]

Blrgh

[upper wind]

Exactly

But things like fried alligator is actual meat

[weak mantle]

think i had alligator years back

in Florida i believe

[upper wind]

Probably Florida yea

Gators are most common there

[hidden quail]

I've heard it tastes of chicken

[upper wind]

Possibly

I had frog legs once and it tasted similar to chicken

[tired stump]

Fishy chicken

[upper wind]

Yeah

[hidden quail]

Would love to try it one day

Also would like to try snails again

[upper wind]

Yeah no thanks

[hidden quail]

They reminded me of cooked mushrooms almost

[upper wind]

Odd

[vale kelp]

oooh that looks sooooo nommie. i'm jelly

dude, that looks amazing. i'm so hungry now

[weak mantle]

was perty darn tasty

[weak mantle]

eggs are cool

[molten crypt]

I want to know how those are poached look good

[tired stump]

poaching pan, i just got it

has little ceramic nonstick cups that sit in a tray

[molten crypt]

well isn't that fancy 😄

I don't think I make poached eggs enough to buy a specific setup like that just for poached eggs. Though if I had one I'd probably make them even more lol

[tired stump]

this is the plan

i can also do them in water and prefer them slightly that way but using the pan was 150% easier

[weak mantle]

that would be easier

i feel a little ocd when i crack an egg into boiling water

[tired stump]

you're supposed to use a ladle but i just yolo them in there

[weak mantle]

Real food topics, excluding cannibalism thanks.

I hope I get chicken strips today. I've been looking for like a month and the stores still haven't restocked

[tired stump]

Rip strips

Im glad the conversation ended

Almost forgot so I ate some of the beans but

Garlic bread grilled cheese and baked beans

[molten crypt]

Gimmie your sammich

[vale kelp]

you'd make Sean happy with hem beans

[molten crypt]

I have a light complaint. Your food is touching
But it looks great

[real nimbus]

Should've just

[vague crow]

Yeah I didn't want it to touch but I also forgot that the beans could migrate

[real nimbus]

dipped it in bean water

[molten crypt]

Random, but those Starlight cokes released yesterday Ceryn is bringing me one, it better taste pretty cause it sounds pretty.

Star flavor

[vale kelp]

shy is it called starlight?

what's the flavor? starfruit?

[molten crypt]

I don't think it actually gives a description

[dusky solstice]

I've heard quite sweet, a few people said almost cotton candy / bubblegum

[molten crypt]

Just one of those drinks ya gotta taste and argue with others what it tastes like

I sure hope it's not bubblegum or I'll puke

I've heard it described as Dr pepper mixed with coke, so who knows 🙃

[vale kelp]

bubblegum soda definitely does not sound appealing

[molten crypt]

I've never understood the appeal of that flavor

Sometimes you have to be really careful ordering banana flavored drinks. Because they will lie and use bubblegum and coconut. On more than one occasion I have dealt with this. They argue its the same. Yea.....noooo it is not.

[weak mantle]

this is bad news

[molten crypt]

It is. I've been craving it like crazy

Im getting dinky clamstrips as a replacement

Not great

My body is too focused on chicken strips to appreciate anything else

[weak mantle]

hmm maybe you have neighbors who raise chickens….

i’m not telling you to go murder your neighbor’s chickens ||yes i am||

[molten crypt]

They also have ducks

[tired stump]

Do they have oranges

Youve made pizza yourself

Ive always thought it was undoable with home equipment

[upper wind]

A nice hearty breakfast

[molten crypt]

Are you drinking paint water

tbh, the vivid pastel purple color of that drink is kind of pretty. I am curious what it is.

Or is it just the cup and it's just milk

😩 sry for being a dumby

[tired stump]

You’ll stop once the egg sweats kick in

[tired stump]

Not a pastel tbh more of a jewel tone

Amethyst maybe

[molten crypt]

It looks like the pastel Easter paint water we dip eggs in

[tired stump]

😮

[molten crypt]

But yeah I get amethyst vibes too

[tired stump]

Cat raspberry

[hidden quail]

That bacon looks just how I like it

[molten crypt]

Bacon should be super floppy, no crisp

[upper wind]

How do you like it?

I like mine crisp in the middle with chewyness around the ends

Which is how those were

[hidden quail]

I like mine extra crispy

But those sound nice too

[upper wind]

I mean

Save burning or undercooking, it’s hard to mess up bacon.

[molten crypt]

https://tenor.com/view/bacon-bouquet-roses-what-every-girl-wants-gif-3572359

I'm gonna refuse to eat bacon unless it looks like this

Making donut holes

[molten crypt]

It'd be pretty scandalous if you didn't give them holes

[vague crow]

But they're just balls

[molten crypt]

Now I feel lied to

Shouldn't it be called donut balls

[vague crow]

It used to be the leftover dough from making donuts

Might still be somewhere if they make them by hand

[molten crypt]

That makes sense

[vague crow]

I'm a little nervous cuz I haven't made anything in lol in a long time

[molten crypt]

I've never made a donut before but your donut mush looks nice so I'm sure they'll be great

[vague crow]

I'm just worried I'll get burned by the oil ahah

Side note, oil takes forever to heat up

[tired stump]

side note, deep frying uses a fuqtonne of oil

[weak mantle]

real donut holes taste like air

[tired stump]

true

[weak mantle]

bet those ones will be good though spirit

[tired stump]

um

i take that back

[weak mantle]

i don’t like
