[hardy pasture]

Chef’s special that handnt yet entered the menu cuz the one I asked for was unavailable: like a sandwich with biscuits, some sort of cheese I’d say, raspberries and blueberries (and ice cream and passion fruit)

[granite dust]

looks amazing

whatever it was

[tribal moss]

you're a whole chef omg 😭 impressed at everything you know how to cook/prepare and how often you do it!

[granite dust]

Tyty lol… I wish I could be a chef!

My grandpa was though, so I like to think a little of his love for cooking lives on in my love of food.

[hardy surge]

I think I like cooking now

I made this filet i got at Aldi and it was perfect

[uncut sundial]

[uncut sundial]

thank you

Ive been scared to cook beef/steak

[granite dust]

How did you cook it?

[hardy surge]

seared in pan,oven for 8 mins

[granite dust]

Ahh don’t be! It’s pretty easy once you’ve done it a few times.

[granite dust]

Fantastic job

[hardy surge]

yeah idk why it just seems hard

but was wasy

I def dont eat this much,but it was a steal

[granite dust]

I think bc people associate it with eating out, it seems like it should be difficult.

[hardy surge]

just your average beef enjoyer

[uncut sundial]

dude I should give it a try too

[hardy surge]

yeah it isnt hard

it seems intimidating,but super quick

[uncut sundial]

cooking beef spooks me too but maybe it isn't as hard as I thought??

liek I can do poultry but idk why I avoid beef

[hardy surge]

I think the hardest is nailing the doneness

[uncut sundial]

:000

ohhh ya

like hiw well done u want it

[hardy surge]

I like medium/slight rare

I think I cooked it to about medium

my fam prefers it more rare

[hardy surge]

omg

[granite dust]

This is how I like to do mine. I’d love to try rice with it actually, but I’m legit awful at cooking rice.

[hardy surge]

literally just wanna eat the whole thing

[hardy surge]

get a cheap rice cooker

it cooks it perfectly

[granite dust]

Real

yes it is normal to host a photoshoot with my tea what of it
I am definitely not procrastinating

[prisma garden]

aesthetic tea pics are an underrated genre ok something about how the light hits it

was chugging this while lights was playing (by that i mean sipping casually)

[brave loom]

I need this in my life immediately and I am not exaggerating

pls

sour..

[prisma garden]

it was quite sour! quite lemony .

it also gave me a bit of a stomachache which was weird because it only lasted a few minutes ??? and was likely the fault of the iced coffee and milk tea from earlier that day

[main quest]

is that glass sacred geometry?

[brave loom]

i hope so

it was a gift from a dear friend! good for tea

[main quest]

the only glasses i have that are fancy like that are pretty much antiques

[brave loom]

post pics if you want they sound fab I just got this decanter in the same style from a charity shop, too!

[proud cedar]

pie is my fav food almost

a good mince and cheese i would die for

nz eats the most (savoury?) pies per capita i think but its actually just me im pies georg

woah the pie chat is so far up where am i i missed it

[tribal moss]

wtf these are so aesthetically pleasing

[tribal moss]

remember how i said I was gonna go to an asian market and buy some snacks and show them? well the first thing did happen as soon as i got home i put everything on the fridge and cabinets and i forgor to take a pic of everything together (i was very tired)

but!! today i finished one of the snacks and i wanted to show the package before throwing it away because these were GOOD they're some kind of oreo wafer sticks with matcha and omg delicious, amazing, they have my heart

also how cute is the package?!?

[brave loom]

that looks amazing aaaaaaa

A haul by description still counts haha glad you went

[tribal moss]

[granite dust]

Oooo fancy shmancy

What were they?

[kind sundial]

the blue one was called around the world but idk what was in it lol

[granite dust]

Well they look incredible.

gulangyu breeze is on my must try list now

[kind sundial]

[granite dust]

I got the too many attachments thing so I was wondering. tyty

[kind sundial]

no worries! i remember one time closer to when i joined i got like jailed by one of the bots for sending too many pics at once in grimes library hahaha i think it's fixed now

[brave loom]

cake not work but pls clap for my meringue

[agile jetty]

wth i thought this was a sculpted fantasy beast, amazing

[brave loom]

thank u she is getting cream cheese added so she is a lil tart/not too sweet (and will be icing for a cake)

[granite dust]

That’s a stiff peak for sure!

[mint sun]

This looks so satisfying

[main quest]

i thought you just designed a 3d printed abstract sculpture

until i read what you posted

[brave loom]

compliment of the highest order thank u

[main quest]

3d printed meringue

this is probably a content farm idea

tiktok account dedicated to making meringue sculptures

[brave loom]

it would be fairly cheap too, they would not getova my pavlova

[main quest]

[warm quarry]

LMAO

[warm quarry]

Reminds me of that Bri ish person who put a whole whisk in his mouth to taste the cake batter

[brave loom]

the next time I try to do something stupid, like decorate a cake, I need someone to take me in their firm, loving hands and shake me like a leaf
and say to me ‘Han, you moron, you gullible idiot, your naïveté precedes you, remember last time’
and then I will not embark on endeavours like icing cakes again because! I always fuck it up somehow

[brave loom]

Where did you get footage of my kitchen

WHY ARE THRER THREE PIXELS

[brave loom]

(Jk I do know it’s from Come Dine With me) guilty pleasure when I had a television many years ago

Also I have quite a large mouth I reckon I could do that

[warm quarry]

I wonder if I could do that, I’m going to try when I get home

[brave loom]

I made this beautiful cathedral cake and have been trying to ice it with pride flags but the food colouring has given vastly different textures to the icing and it’s just a disaster

They’re not going to allow me to be bisexual any more I’ll have to hand in my card

The purple especially was a little bitch which is unfortunate because that’s in A LOT OF FLAGS

[brave loom]

Please report back I’m low key curious

[brave loom]

I have debased myself enough on the internet for one day but I can now confirm this is easier than it looks

giving up on this, over ambitious…baking is easier than decorating by miles

[hardy surge]

I think it looks good

decorating cakes is a true art

I have some mad respect

[warm quarry]

Maybe I’m just a raging bisexual but I immediately saw the decorations as both the lesbian pride flag and the gay pride flag

[brave loom]

I am glad there is at least some recognisability there 🫡

[main quest]

nah, I believe in you, it's just about learning a technique that cheats it the way you like

I knew a pro baker and even she messed up sometimes and she is STRICT with herself she went to school in france and portugal

[brave loom]

It’s just such a fucking hassle to learn! I should probably invest some time in it though

The icing itself not hard to make but it all breaks down in the application haha

[main quest]

its possibly related to the temp when you apply

unless you just meant the attempt and not the frosting

[brave loom]

I tried from the fridge and also warmer! I think the culprit maybe was - piping tips (tried a few) and food colouring (used gel to minimise textural impacts but it still had a really detrimental effect, especially the purple one) 😦 but the skill level probably related

I think the temp is def relevant - straight from the fridge was too cold

[prisma garden]

your cake is fine i see the vision with it and it's much better than any cake i could bake (i can't bake)

[brave loom]

I think you probably can, being scientifically minded, perhaps you just have not tried (enough)

but feel free to correct me

[prisma garden]

i have not ... but nonetheless

[brave loom]

scones are within your reach is all I’m saying

||do it coward|| (no Jk do what you want) (but if you do! Report back!)

I found this relevant info from Serious Eats which I meant to share before (since this came up previously)

For the Americans

[prisma garden]

what is a double boiler o no is that a thing one is expected to own

[brave loom]

No it’s just a weird Americanism for a bain-marie

It’s when you put a bowl over a pan of boiling water

So the heat is indirect and it doesn’t overcook

I used it for my Swiss meringue earlier

You can use it to melt chocolate as well but I usually just go with a thick bottomed pot and throw caution to the wind

[prisma garden]

oh that
i know what that is

[main quest]

han really wants me to have non homo cream, on pride month no less

[dusky sky]

Ooh yes I want to make clotted cream

[hardy surge]

there sadly arent Amish near me

I have to stick with the stuff in little jars that isnt authentic

[brave loom]

I dare u 😌

[hardy surge]

someone smuggle me some clotted cream

[main quest]

I would actually be very interested to see where I could even find any

[dusky sky]

GC meet in Edi, everyone from the UK brings clotted cream with them for the foreign visitors

and jam

and baked scones

[brave loom]

yes please I need to shift all these baked goods somehow

[tribal moss]

Recipe:

200g oats
50g almonds
40g pistachios
50g coconut flakes
60g coconut oil
60g maple syrup
2 tbsp. Matcha
1 tsp vanilla
1 pinch of salt

Optional: Matcha chocolate

First mix all dry ingredients and then merge with the liquid ones. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and bake at 170° for 15-20 min. Let the granola cool on the tray. Then optionally mix in some chopped matcha chocolate and keep the granola in a jar.

Enjoy!

matcha granola recipe! since the thumbnail doesn't have the title

[tribal moss]

[plain glen]

@plain glen, you have just reached level 8!!! congratz

[plain glen]

i thought i was in #grimæsthetics౨ৎ˚₊ for a brief second thought was some techy thing

[gray hawk]

OEMGE

n no oven

i see all these granola recipes w oven like why

[tribal moss]

I'm sad to be the one to bear the bad news but this granola recipe also uses an oven 😭 you can skip the step but the charm of making granola with an oven is that it ends up crispy

let me add the recipe to the vid hold up

[gray hawk]

oh damn.. yehh i imagine oven makes it cromchy however im already living in an ovenn rn !

the thought of more oven us terrifying..

[tribal moss]

understandable, it's very hot and electricity consuming 😭

[brave loom]

6 was a clear winner but I did perhaps buy two…no regretz…which tea to have first

[hardy surge]

what tea you got

[brave loom]

I have soooo many haha (ran out of my fav milk oolong/Jin Xuan but not buying more til I have finished a packet!)
Off the top of my head for loose leaf I have ‘jade arrow’ green tea, jasmine green tea, gui fei oolong, golden snail, a couple of pu’erhs (ripe and raw - actually not huge on this tho), some random oolong which is more on the black side, then some flavoured ones like lychee black tea, mango black tea, ‘green rose’ (which is kind of a tropical/rose green blend), a little selection box of ‘dessert teas’ my friend *sent me from Canada, then a load of infusions/things like chamomile, ginger tea, hibiscus, butterfly pea etc.

Oh some diff purple teas too

[hardy surge]

any kinda green tea I love. Jade Arrow or Jasmine sounds good

[brave loom]

Fab choices

I mostly drink green or oolong (and that oolong is often on the greener side)

Taiwanese oolong my beloved

[hardy surge]

I have to pick up some green tea,Im out

[brave loom]

do it

[gray hawk]

YAYYY

[hardy surge]

I usually favor black tea but green hits different

[brave loom]

Thank u for help deciding

I was thinking it would be nice to have one at work or to take to the beach in the mornings

[echo plank]

also, buying non-ultra pasturised cream is very difficult. You have to buy it direct from the farm and a lot of producers won't sell it to you bc they can get in trouble

I think we already covered this and apparently is is possible to make it with ultra pasturised cream it just doesn't work as well

tempted to make scones again....

[hardy surge]

also doesn't poutine usually like include garlic?

[latent warren]

it had spring onion and cheese curds which sounds gross but it tastes like mozzarella??

[hardy surge]

I wanna eat poutine

[brave loom]

haha I was kidding a lil bit, I think big polish population in canada (cc @prisma garden ), just amused me to see them listed as 'canadian' given their origins! they are good tho... I am less keen on the potato ones tho they seem to have the largest fanbase

[hardy surge]

not a big thing here

[latent warren]

i keep saying putin

[hardy surge]

[brave loom]

forgive the pepe emote but it was the best 'stay back' I had

[hardy surge]

maybe give him some poutine and he will chill out

[latent warren]

[trump voice] poutiiine

[prisma garden]

poutine is not poutine without cheese curds

i don't mean that metaphorically i mean quite literally it is a key part of the dish
fries and gravy is not poutine

[prisma garden]

many slavic canadians in ontario and also the prairies have made them popular
not really a national dish but still i see the vision about why they're there

I can envision him with great detail as he enunciates this: a spritz of spit flies from his mouth as it forms the shape of a butthole to make the ‘p’ sound, he emphasises the ‘oo’ sound for a beat too long, before his yellow tongue makes the ‘t’ sound. As the sides of his mouth recede and the orange dust cracks into his face, he holds up his right hand and squeezes an invisible nipple with his thumb and forefinger as he completes the word ‘eeen’.

gatorade is like, okayish
it REALLY hits when you're dehydrated or overheated or hungover
the rest of the time it's whatever

they don’t have Powerade in America

whoaa what is that 2nd last thing

looks so yummy

[granite dust]

Cottage pie

[granite dust]

Ty

It was pretty good

Can’t go wrong with meat, veg and potatoes. Plus GRAVY

[kind sundial]

delighted that i was correct in thinking it's potatoes, i need it omg all crispy on top

[granite dust]

Like a shepherds pie with beef rather than lamb

[granite dust]

I used parmesan and a little bit of butter wash

[kind sundial]

oh i always called it with beef shepherds pie

but we always put corn in too around here between the beef and potatoes

[granite dust]

Yeah I dunno why beef is cottage tbf

Lamb being shepherds makes sense

But do cottages inherently prefer beef 🤷‍♂️

[prisma garden]

no i think lamb is more traditional

[granite dust]

It’s two different dishes

[prisma garden]

i can get behind this

[granite dust]

I prefer beef I think

Tho maybe bc I’ve had it more often

[prisma garden]

lamb is expensive here i don't have it much
would if i could
but beef is good

[kind sundial]

why
why is there like an entire mayo section
who needs this many options how am I supposed to know which one to pick
is this just a north america thing cause it feels very much like it could be lol

[agile jetty]

Heaven 😍

Also, why is mayonnaise always expensive

I’ve never seen cheap mayo

[royal zinc]

supply and demand

[hardy surge]

I just pick regular old Hellmanns Mayo

you kinda cant go wrong with that

is Miracle Whip good? I legit dont know but I dont wanna buy any in case I hate it

[prisma garden]

no it's awful. doesn't taste like real mayo at all

[agile jetty]

worst mayo imo

[hardy surge]

I dont like other mayo

they add SUGAR

EVERY FUCKING THING HAS SUGAR FOR NO REASON

its gross and Im diabetic

Im trying to eat the least possible,sugar is addictive like a drug

[dusky sky]

Yeah lots of refined sugar can be messy

[prisma garden]

anti-sugar gang

[crystal rune]

This face I'm dying, excellent😭😭

[echo plank]

Obv sugar has its concerns esp if you're diabetic, but the study claiming that sugar is addictive was really badly run and that claim isn't supported by any good evidence. It's probably best to avoid calling sugar addictive if you can.

But also can companies please stop adding sugar into things for no reason

[gray hawk]

yeah in general sugar is too demonized

it can be healthy in many forms such as in fruit

however the problem is w added sugar yeah

[hardy surge]

the problem is really sugar is added to like everything

it really is

Mayo,sauces like in stuff that is insanely weird for it to be added

[granite dust]

From scratch

[uncut sundial]

WOAHHHH

[granite dust]

Made it with chicken stock and cream

[uncut sundial]

wowowowow

thats where tha good flavours are at

chicken stock 💯

[kind sundial]

yumm

[uncut sundial]

me and my dad use coconut milk a lot for creamy pasta mixes too

like the thai stuff

like if u dont want ur pasta too salty but need the creamyness this works super well

[kind sundial]

I'm no good at making cream sauces I always fuck it up.... but I always don't have the right ingredients lol

[uncut sundial]

coconut milk is the secret and ur best friend

woahhh

u got it down to a science

[granite dust]

That’s the jellied chicken stock with garlic and butter

Added pasta chicken and reduced

Added double cream

Reduced

And grated cheese on top

[uncut sundial]

mmMm garlic butterrrr

[granite dust]

Normally I’d use a roux

[granite dust]

It was a clarified garlic butter left over from cooking the chicken

[uncut sundial]

I lost the post on my explore page but I legit just saw this lady in all seriousness post “nutritious easy dessert with only 3 ingredients”
They were butter, honey and salt. She cut a hunk of butter, said it had to be thick enough “to sink your teeth into”, popped a spoon of honey on top of the butter wedge and then sprinkled it with some salt????? And she was defending it in the comments????

[kind sundial]

wtf 😭

keto type shit

reminds me of this thing

"bulletproof coffee"
where they add a bunch of butter and coconut oil to coffee and that makes it a "healthy breakfast"

like bro just eat some fruit or something or like.. anything that has nutrients I beg you I don't know much about this stuff but that can't be right 😭

[prisma garden]

my brother used to make that lmao

[echo plank]

lmao bulletproof coffee is crazy

The butter and honey isn't even keto bc the honey has too many carbs, it's just unhinged

Though it does remind me a bit of the thing I do where I take a half lemon that's already been squeezed, put some honey on the inside, then eat the whole thing including the rind or whatever it's called

[brave loom]

I made dandanmian (made it quite a few times before, but this time followed a more complex recipe). It’s pretty good but the photos are so…mid not sure if it was the chili oil I made or the recipe ratios, but it has always been a much brighter red/oilier when I have made it in the past. and heavier on the mala! Although you can def taste the sichuan peppercorn

tried to do a cute lil assembly pic thing but it sort of failed in that the end product does not look how I hoped lol
oh well at least it is tasty…will be trying another recipe next time tho

oops lol sent a duplicate pic

(That was with all the toppings prior to mixing) (next time I will get you, dandanmian)

[kind sundial]

omg looks soo great han

[dusky sky]

Nah you're wrong the end pic looks amazing

[brave loom]

Thank u! I am mildly annoyed that it didn’t turn out quite how I would have liked, but it is still tasty

Rly like when you can feel the chili warmth in your stomach after eating (hope people know what I mean here haha)

[dusky sky]

It's so hard to photograph food, every single picture I take looks bad

It looks delicious Han

Lol this has given me a QOTD idea writes down

[brave loom]

it is source of major frustration to me!! especially in the evenings/lurid kitchen lighting haha it’s the worst. I’m glad it doesn’t look as unappetising as I thought looool
It’s the woks of life recipe! But I will me amending the chili oil amounts next time

making chili oil again but this time it’s Serious

Way too little in last recipe

[plain glen]

[brave loom]

dandanmian chronicles: episode 3…significantly spicier and with more oil…but not the right colour…I think we may need to go higher…heights yet unseen (or just cook fewer noodles lmao this portion is enormous)

hurts to eat so. in the right direction

also weird craving to put kraut in this as well as the ya cai???? I could do it….

I wish I had spaghetti so I could make dan dan noodles

[brave loom]

Spaghetti??? That’s a new one

Get some

[echo plank]

The recipe in The Wok uses spaghetti as the noodles but I could probably use a different kind if I wanted

I have some fresh Lo Mein in the freezer that would fit

idk I just like the more thrown together vibe of box spaghetti. Feels more street food which is what I'm going for if I want dan dan noodles

so many autorreacts 😭

[brave loom]

fascinated by idea of putting pasta in noodle dishes because this opens up the idea of, like, Dan Dan conchigliette or something hahaha

[tribal moss]

so many mentions of spaghetti

[crystal rune]

[brave loom]

In fairness tho sometimes I put lap cheong in pasta dishes so not that opposed to fusion

[prisma garden]

reminded to send my hot take i've been holding inside for years that tagliatelle al ragù is just zhajiangmian for italians send tweet

[brave loom]

yeah sure I’ll build that into my cultural canon why not

o god I want that so badly now tho

I’m committed to making and eating dandanmian until I get it Right but after that……

[echo plank]

Yeah this is one of the dishes that I'm not trying to get "right" per se, I'm just messing around in the kitchen and making tasty things

Recently I've been trying to forget about the entire concept of "authentic" food and instead focusing on improving my technique & skills

[prisma garden]

also reminded there is a somewhat large italian-chinese community i think esp in milan that the rest of the world seems to not know about and now i want to know about what kind of fusion cuisine they have because surely they have one
fusion cuisine is just syncretism for food send tweet

[brave loom]

hahahahaa

(Strikeout made me laugh a lot) (new rabbit hole also thank u I am aware of many fusions but not this one, I don’t think?! Intriguing bc so many Chinese cuisines so wonder which ones are most prevalent…much to think about)

[prisma garden]

there's also an "inverse marco polo" joke here somewhere but i will not make it

[brave loom]

full of bangers today I see

[prisma garden]

yes.

yesterday i was full of abdominal pain! this is quite an improvement

[kind sundial]

I usually use pasta noodles for lo mein 🫣

mostly bc I can't find a good other option at my usual grocery store lol

[prisma garden]

authenticity is neat and all but sometimes ingredients are simply hard to get ok

sigh. I think I was fairly neutral on most of them, too…

[main quest]

posh king han

[brave loom]

I want to know what they’re putting the 24k ice cream as, because to me that is not ‘posh’ that is ‘instagram influencer bait food’ but idk how they rate this

[main quest]

yeah right

some i have no clue like caviar, i just stayed neutral because i have no idea

they think putting lobster in the mac n cheese is upper class, the fools

its still just mac n cheese

[brave loom]

That’s what I’m SAYIN

wouldn’t find it in a higher-end restaurant so not sure where that ranks

[main quest]

my favorite upper class food, the lobster

[prisma garden]

ô no i am posh too

[brave loom]

sorry to hear that, welcome to the pit

[main quest]

i just like food so i was positive on 80% of it

[prisma garden]

what is the pit

[main quest]

like it had 3 types of mac n cheese on there

[brave loom]

I feel a lot of these choices v American too (I simply don’t eat Mac and cheese or sloppy Joes etc that much)

[main quest]

missing out tbh

[brave loom]

Right lmfao too many

[brave loom]

o I was just being self deprecating sorry

[main quest]

sloppy joes are pretty goated

[prisma garden]

almost everything on this test seemed good? i downvoted the edible gold one because it's a dumb gimmick

[main quest]

you can put your chili oil in the sloppy joe mix

[brave loom]

they’re just Okay? no hate but I would never think to make one for dinner

A lot of the test was like ‘yeah sure I’d eat that’

[prisma garden]

macaroni and cheese is stereotypically canadian for some reason even though americans definitely eat it

[main quest]

you can make them better theyre pretty unimpressive if served that way yeah

like hamburger helper is better than sloppy joes id say but you can make sloppy joes into something pretty nice with the right ideas

[prisma garden]

the tomato sauce on them is bland and mid but it could be spiced up

[main quest]

like including scallions

[prisma garden]

i just love ground beef idk

[brave loom]

valid

[main quest]

canadians put ketchup on their mac n cheese and they call it a dinner

[brave loom]

I hate this thank you xx

[prisma garden]

not this guy that is revolting

i am a cultural rebel

[brave loom]

A lot of those foods could be spiced up
Like the ham and cheese toastie would like to add some wild garlic leaves, or make it into a halloumi pesto melt idk (not that the ham and cheese is bad - tho would rather have bacon - just more interesting things you can do)

[prisma garden]

why halloumi

[brave loom]

I do semi frequently order this bacon/egg/hash brown bagel which is frankly incredible

[brave loom]

Salty so replicates bacon kick

Also melts well

I would go for mozz too if the pesto was salty enough

[prisma garden]

i am also a kind of hater of ham and cheese an aggressively mid combo so i strongly approve of making this more bacon-like

[brave loom]

Why would anyone have ham when they could have bacon
Also American bacon to me is not all that appealing but about to start a war here

[prisma garden]

american bacon rules

[main quest]

ham and cheese is good when its not thin sandwich slices of ham but just big hunks of the leg with a gruyere ore something

like basic cheddar is not the combo with ham

[brave loom]

It needs the Thickness

[prisma garden]

yeah i can get into that more

[main quest]

at least this thick, thats like 3mm?

no need for a war between britain and america you already had one and lost 😂

[brave loom]

At minimum & should be a shred-able texture

[brave loom]

first called posh now this being ripped apart 2day…… :pensive_tophat:

[prisma garden]

you ARE beating the posh allegations

[main quest]

it has its time and place but often people overcook it. its also a good source of cooking fat

[brave loom]

I am afraid I am Not but it’s okay

[brave loom]

YES okay j see both of these

The crunch is what puts me off I think

All crisp nothing else to it? Sometimes

[brave loom]

But the fat for eggs? Spectacular

[main quest]

yeah you can get it to where its got crisp but not totally removed of any texture besides that rocky brittle feeling

[prisma garden]

i don't really like when bacon is burnt and crunchy it just dries out and becomes hard and tastes like charcoal

[tribal moss]

that was interesting I love taking tests :3

[main quest]

i hate when bacon gets to where it just disintegrates when you touch it

[prisma garden]

the key thing is you are not a tory

[brave loom]

same I want a Euro one…I love the dialect one too but they only have US and UK version that I could find

[main quest]

and country gravy

[brave loom]

The bar here is low but yes I would like this to be made abundantly clear

[prisma garden]

american food kicks ass sometimes
we forgive them for their bizarre jello marshmallow salads
they are kings at savoury food

[brave loom]

examples pls

not disagreeing just want to hear it

[prisma garden]

they invented the cheeseburger
mic drop

but also. american barbecue tho

[main quest]

those take the full meaning of the word "salad" being literally anything mixed in a sauce by defintion, not sure i agree with calling them that but the idea is actually pretty great

its usually fruit jello and pieces of fruit mixed in with cream

[brave loom]

I need to try Proper barbecue…there’s a really good place in Cambs called Smokeworks that I love but no idea how ‘authentic’

I wonder if I will have time to go to a restaurant when I am there..didn’t think about it

[prisma garden]

you simply must.

[brave loom]

To me that is dangerously close to a trifle

[main quest]

sometimes people add nuts, coconut shreds, some psychos add marshmellow

[main quest]

yeah it would be close to that

[brave loom]

Aw no not marshmallow

[main quest]

https://www.thecountrycook.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/thumbnail-Southern-Ambrosia-Salad.jpg

[prisma garden]

ok nuts and coconut yeah that sounds good

[main quest]

this is ambrosia salad

[prisma garden]

hilarious ancient greek name

[main quest]

its a little dessert at pot lucks in the midwest usually

[brave loom]

that’s just a trifle without cake ….. or custard I suppose

[brave loom]

What’s the Nectar here

[main quest]

tbf you give a greek from 4k years ago a maraschino cherry in some whipped cream theyre gonna call that ambrosia

[main quest]

yeah it likely stems from it but they cut out the bullshit and the presentation, you just scoop it from a big bowl

but all this sorta stuff is all leftovers from the depression era. so its people working with cheap food and making something of it

the trifle dish is best used for another american classic anyway, banana pudding

[brave loom]

HAHA found some Americans dunking on this
I guess ‘not very’ is the answer
Not been for many a year that being said

[brave loom]

I wouldn’t say no to this as a tiramisu enthusiast

[main quest]

its got more crunch than a tiramisu, the vanilla wafers have a lot of texture its like crunchy biscoff but vanilla flavor

[brave loom]

Interesting

[main quest]

its nice if you like banana, if not, stay home i guess

[brave loom]

I don’t…not like banana? Also I am a sucker for those weird American sugar free jello pudding things (primarily because you can eat a large quantity of it but. Seems similar enough. I’d try it anyway)

[main quest]

yeah its made with exactly that stuff often

the box pudding

either vanilla or banana flavor, take that, get the cookies on there slice up some banana on top of that

boom

[prisma garden]

this convo is making me think of the dumbest internet argument i have ever had, which was with a chinese guy (or maybe even worse, a western who lived in china and now thinks he knows everything about it) about how chinese food is so much better than american food because it's more varied and has more complicated ingredients and so on. i was trying to explain. you are missing the point of american food, it is about being simple and For The Everyman. he wasn't getting it at all or listening to me so i blocked him

[brave loom]

loser behaviour

[prisma garden]

he was being quite an ass very stuckup

[brave loom]

if you enjoy variance
why not try/enjoy every cuisine
checkmate idiot

[prisma garden]

about how chinese food is OBJECTIVELY SUPERIOR like buddy. think about why the concept of "subjectively liking something" is called. " Taste"

[brave loom]

lots of variance too came from famine/needing to use local ingredients in creative ways (not all of it of course) - just diff cultural contexts - weird to frame it as superiority

or migration etc etc etc

[prisma garden]

no 😡 america bad dumb stinky fat country

yeah ok buddy. log off

[brave loom]

This is such an interesting chart because yours is so polarised!

Well. Dually polarised. Extreme differences anyway

[hardy surge]

huh I guess. The 24k gold ice cream was wack

Most of it is what you think of regular "american" food. Very tasty(stuff like beef stew,mashed potato,chicken soup to give examples to whats shown). I like almost everything

[brave loom]

thank u! you can definitely 'hack' it (e.g. instead of using sesame paste and chopped peanuts, use crunchy peanut butter...can buy chili/szechuan red oil instead of making it, etc) but I think part of the fun has been trying to get each component 'right'! still trying but at least I have a big stock of chili oil now lol

made some spinach mozzarella ravioli with shrimp! the sauce is basil pesto w onions, tomato, and sum mango habanero

never made a sauce mix like this but it's actually bomb

was inspired today to make coconut buns
except I cannot take anything seriously & made the mistake of trying to make them bunny-shaped (because bun…bun…..idk)
that was a mistake & most of them are somewhat horrifying in their formlessness, but overall the bread is great & would make again (maybe bake for just a shade longer)
also replaced the milk powder in the filling with custard powder, so they have a pleasant vanilla-y coconut custard taste (it rly looks like salted egg haha)

Cw: mention of alcoholic beverage
I went out a couple weekends ago and tried this cool cocktail, it had butterfly pea tea and fresh lemonade, so there was the ‘colour change’ with the light blue to the dark indigo at the bottom of the glass 💙💜
