[tribal moss]

both the desserts and spicy fried chicken look amazing enjoy!!

[plain glen]

may i request name of said cafe

[granite dust]

Post post office treat

Please share

Thx

My gawd that looks good

[prisma garden]

you can't just drop on me that you have a fav taiwanese café and not also leak the menu

[brave loom]

unfortunately for you it is mostly sweet foods! but the one down the road does rice wraps which are excellent also the cakes esp the chiffon cakes are not too sweet as tends to be the style

they change their menu all the time but here is what they had today & some stuff they have often

• Taiwanese fried chicken (you can get a spicy version)
• Taiwanese fries (?) which have fried Thai basil, similar to how the chicken often does
• Drinkz: lots of teas including my fav oolongs , matcha latte, black sesame latte hojicha latte, black sugar boba, taro boba, coffee & such
• Wheel cakes: custard, tieguanyin, matcha, taro, ||nutella||, black sesame
• Cakes: tieguanyin cheesecake, honey oolong cheesecake, matcha cheesecake, hojicha choux, earl grey chiffon cake ( ), hojicha chiffon cake, brown sugar cake, matcha chiffon cake, dark chocolate cake, chantilly cake rolls (also usually variations on these with fruit inside and various tea flavours)
• Sandwiches: black sesame bread (!) with cream & fruit, floral honey sandwich

[prisma garden]

thank u for spoilering the n*tella jumpscare
need to know more about these fries .. also u came thru with the tea here ..

[brave loom]

When u see a selection of different oolongs…u know it is The Place

[prisma garden]

googling chiffon cake and amusing myself with how much of a dessert hater i am hmm i think i have had this before

[brave loom]

maybe I will have to get the ||chips|| fries next time to send a pic

I think you would not hate?! Chiffon cake - similar to a genoise sponge - very light and fluffy, usually not very rich at all & lots of fresh cream/fruit to offset

Rather than very dense, buttercream-y

[prisma garden]

ok BUT wheel cakes. this is just chinese lembas i'm into it

[brave loom]

They are kind of the same as ‘salt and pepper’ flavour stuff if you ever order salt and pepper chicken or squid etc. except with thai basil too

[brave loom]

I LOVE these so much, I get them whenever I can find a stall! There used to be somewhere in east London that did them

wait field day is near there…pls London come thru for me again..

Red bean is a common flavour

Yes this is bait

[prisma garden]

what the fuck is a genoise sponge o no i am so uncultured such a rube googling..

oh this is just. a sponge cake

[brave loom]

while you studied the blade I wasted hours on cooking YouTube

Specifically it’s a very light sponge

Rather than a very rich egg-heavy/buttery one like you’d use for a pound cake or Victoria sponge or whatever

[prisma garden]

ok but. also. a lot of this is just "britons like to have Le Fancy Pretentious European Names for boring common foods"

[brave loom]

Chiffon cake usually is leavened with meringue folded in as well

[prisma garden]

here. that is just "sponge cake". WHAT THE FUCK IS VICTORIA SPONGE THAT IS NOT REAL

[brave loom]

Rather than relying solely on baking soda

[brave loom]

Oh my god vayy it’s a national dish

not one I care for mind you 😶‍🌫️

I’m loling

[prisma garden]

ok i see how victoria sponge is heavier (?) and thicker (?) and less airy (?) than what i think of as prototypical "sponge cake"

[brave loom]

yesyes you see it

I think chiffon will be a little lighter than you are used to but I am not well versed in the world of Canadian desserts

[prisma garden]

daily affirmation i don't know these Weird Foods not because i am so uncultured unlike les supere sopheesteecatede europeans but because i don't even like most desserts lmao sponge cake is mid

[brave loom]

sponge cake IS often mid but! Chiffon cake I make an exception for, since it’s just a very light vehicle for an abundance of cream and sometimes custard variations

Don’t get me started on the custa- anyway

(you are not unsophisticated haha this is just me being weird and spending a lot of time reading about food)

[prisma garden]

it's my inferiority complex about canadian food being super shitty and boring

amusing myself with taiwanese ourple cakes

[brave loom]

I just had one a few hours ago and I want another…supreme night market fare…

For the hell of it here is the menu to the other Taiwanese cafe down the road which does rice wraps

ginger pork good

[prisma garden]

i'm losing my mind at how you have multiple taiwanese cafés in edinburra

[brave loom]

Embra

visit any time 😌 they’re a bit out of the way for me but worth the trip

[prisma garden]

ginger pork rice looking like a snacc

[brave loom]

she’s cute tho 😳

[prisma garden]

you can get the ginger for the meme

[brave loom]

weird coincidence, took my friend here after we did a 15 mile walk along the coast (famished) & we were listening to Sudan Archives on the bus journey back… need to make it happen again..

[brave loom]

||but yes||

[brave loom]

wake up babe! ancient Vietnamese curry just dropped https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02340-y?utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=nature&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1690382005

[hardy surge]

interesting

curry is so good

[prisma garden]

oft i think about a core memory of when i was a kid and with my friends. one of my friends said something about how curry smells bad or something. our other (vietnamese) friend was outraged and said "you don't like curry???". at this age i had not yet had curry but i decided i needed to try it

[brave loom]

‘smells bad’ outrageous and objectively untrue

[main quest]

smells bad and curry? what

[prisma garden]

he said it not me idk man

[gray hawk]

ugly ugly pic but pink pitaya!!!!! so pink

[gray hawk]

again super ugly pic but i put it in my yogurt bowl n it’s gorgeous

[royal zinc]

Curry has tempted me since I was born and won out many times

[warm quarry]

I love yogurt sm

[tribal moss]

I’ve been mildly obsessed with this woman’s tofu experiments, the videos are so pleasingly methodical https://youtu.be/9JwU4nbeDlo

[crystal rune]

Ooo this is so interesting, I enjoyed watchingg

Makes me want to try to make some myself but I know it would 100% end in a catastrophe

[brave loom]

I feel the same…fortunately I don’t own a high powered blender! That said I am very curious about her creations

unimportant but please marvel at how verdant my oolong is

so floral

[uncut sundial]

oolong is top tier tea love me sum oolong

[hardy pasture]

Oooh nice!! I also got blue oolong at a medieval fair the other day I’m curious to try it and check the colour 🤲

[kind sundial]

really want dolma rn.....

[brave loom]

well now me too

[echo plank]

Now that I've been cooking everything I eat myself for about a year, I've gotten into the habit of mentally deconstructing what I eat and figuring out all the amounts of each ingredient I just had. Does anyone else do this? I can't tell if it's a bad habit or just a weird thing my brain is doing.

[woven thorn]

I count my intake calories, i do that, its not weird

you just start to do something you never had done before

Sorry bad quality but here's today's dinner 😊

[kind sundial]

yummm strawberry salad

[brave loom]

aaa you pinged me during the nightmusic party and I forgot to respond til I opened the channel just now! insanity...have you made any of these? the brioche one is baffling but I kind of want to try it (tho I am tragically bad at shortcrust pastry, must confess)

the quick cut editing sent me lmao "he's so meticulous" > sheepish look to camera

o to be his protégé...

https://www.theguardian.com/food/2018/sep/10/my-carnivore-diet-jordan-peterson-beef been down a rabbit hole about carnivore diets. this sounds. so bad. why do i want to try it

[main quest]

no i havent but im definitely considering it, i like the brioche layer for structure

[brave loom]

please report back if you do

i will also (tho no promises as my pie technique is Bad)

still want to try making some milk bread, too...

[hardy surge]

that carnivore thing doesnt sound healthy

Like is it just me or do people actively discourage eating fruits and vegetables nowadays?

[brave loom]

I got onto reading it through lots of toxic masculinity stuff 🙃 not healthy indeed, for numerous reasons. I think it can be made healthier (in the vein of certain diets like Inuit diets) by eating more organ meats for micronutrients, but still not good altho under-studied

[hardy surge]

Ive literally had people try and tell me it is and was like nope

[gray hawk]

i mean it starts with 'Jordan Peterson insists ' it cant be good stuff..

[brave loom]

I had a steak for the first time in about 3 years the other day (tried a reverse sear it was Not Bad!) and weirdly this horrible article has made me crave meat

I think potentially I am just being premenstrual and weird because it seems objectively horrifying

the smell of Grease...

||don't @ me kuro||

[hardy surge]

I would be happy to never hear about him again

[granite dust]

BE CAREFUL LMAO

do not die from apple cider

Jp and his daughter are utterly moronic

i saw a video of her talking at some confrence about meat

the woman is bizzare

[prisma garden]

she is unhinged but i think han will be safe from her ramblings about the hidden powers of meat

[hardy surge]

the hidden powers of meat

these people are so weird

[granite dust]

real

[granite dust]

I’m just kidding

[kind sundial]

whoaa omg what are these

[hardy pasture]

I didn’t make it sadly but that usually is my birthday cake, we order it from the same place always and it’s just really fluffy pão-de-ló cake, chantilly and strawberries

In layers

[brave loom]

Incredible…I love chantilly cream so much

hope u had a lovely birthday

[hardy pasture]

Same! It’s also incredibly cheap and tasty, 15eur for 1kg ❤️

Thank you, it was super nice :3

[kind sundial]

friend gave me these from spain he said it's like almond nougat I think?

[tribal moss]

TORRONS :00

vicens is a brand that's on the expensier side so those should be good!

4th is one of my fav types but ofc it comes down to personal taste

[kind sundial]

I'm excited to try them

[tribal moss]

report back when you do!

[kind sundial]

will do

[kind sundial]

im trying the 3rd one rn it's so yumm and melty
i love crispy rice thingies haha

[brave loom]

planning my restaurant visits for when I'm back in london in a few weeks and 🥲 too many places not enough time

[brave loom]

looking at menus for places I want to visit and this bakery has the owners' cat on the site homepage aaaa

"there she gained weight and lost her elegance" ||mood||

i love ong ong

[kind sundial]

mimi (kiki) and ong ong (bouba)

[gray hawk]

broo these are hella exopensive

turron so good

i miss it...

the last one (turron duro) is one of my fave flavors ever

[brave loom]

congee…not a photogenic food! v tasty tho will make again (cc: @prisma garden )
mushroom/ginger congee w/lap cheong & sesame pak choi

[hardy surge]

that sounds so good

[kind sundial]

it looks awesome

[prisma garden]

how did u make it 😮 rice cooker or Not

[brave loom]

pressure cooker! cooked my aromatics on the sauté setting, then added soaked rice (230g dry) with 6x the volume of liquid (~1.4L) (just water in this case but with some soaked dried mushrooms, MSG, white pepper). Then 25 minutes of cooking time & it was a very creamy consistency

toppings I just sautéed separately…meant to add chili oil but clean forgot…didn’t even need it was good, would make again
next time I will try cooking it with something like chicken, or with a different kind of rice for a thinner consistency, OR I was thinking that some herbs & aromatics & fish sauce for a cháo gá might be good?! So many options aaaa

[prisma garden]

aaa only 25 minutes a dream ... last time i made it took over an hour tho i admit i left on it the stove longer than it strictly needed ... also i tried a new technique to shorten the cooking time which is using a whisk to break up the rice halfway thru cooking i think it kind of worked? idkidk ... also chicken broth but didn't seem to add much flavour so it might have needed more ... fish sauce yes very good pedantry it's cháo gà

[brave loom]

AAA sorry I have sinned…thank u

whisk is interesting…I also heard that you can freeze soaked rice & cook that to expedite the cooking time

I am glad I own a pressure cooker

[prisma garden]

🫵 you got the tone WRONG it is a low falling tone not high rising tone do you even speak vietnamese you poseur

yesyes i also saw that trick about freezing it .. .

[brave loom]

a lot of the recipes I saw cooked chicken in the congee itself, or used a very rich home-made stock - I think that would help - I was lazy so defaulted to mushrooms lmao it worked well tho…

[prisma garden]

would rather cook it and then put the meat (if any) on top idk why feels right to me
homemade stock is too much work for a fake cook like me

as well i used an 8:1 ratio of water to rice so it might've taken too long simply because the extra water needed to boil off

[brave loom]

in theory you could make aforementioned stock in the oven for v little effort if you owned a nice casserole dish… (need one) 😶‍🌫️

[prisma garden]

aha yes. if. only

[woven thorn]

me gusta turron

[kind sundial]

it's yummyy

im gonna try the bottom one now since y'all hyped it up

[gray hawk]

YESS

[woven thorn]

i like so much turron from alicante

[kind sundial]

finally I cooked

idk why there is not a mushroom to be seen I swear they are there in abundance

[hardy surge]

yummy!

Glass poached pear - part 1 the most beautiful and delicious garnish to any dessert and in this instance stay tuned to see what I add this to.

Crystallized fruit is usually very straight forward but of course I wanted to make these pears extra special for Bae. Poached in the most delicious spiced pea flower tea, then thinly sliced and dehydrat...

[kind sundial]

omg I hope it works and we get photos

candied fruits r so pretty always

[agile jetty]

U really are!!!? Omg very curious to see your take on this, please keep us updated 🙏🙏🙏

[brave loom]

They are in the oven right now

But I am 99.9999% sure they are not thin enough

So they won’t look cute like that

I wanted to make tanghulu tomorrow but it depends on some other stuff so I could finish dehydrating them overnight

[tribal moss]

what in the 5 star rating 3 micheline stars acclaimed creative expensive restaurant is this account

[agile jetty]

Idk…. Don’t follow food accounts nor am I interested but this one seemed so good and aesthetically pleasing …

[agile jetty]

How did they turn out ma’am

[brave loom]

not finished yet
progress so far…not feeling good rn so will return to it later to maybe dehydrate them a bit more, then candy them to make them shiny… they don’t nearly look as beautiful as the video bc my slices are less thin (also the ‘during’ photos look like a murder scene)

also I tried adding citric acid to the tea to make pink ones, too

I also tried poaching them as slices as I was concerned whole pears would not pick up enough colour

so far I am not optimistic but will see

Forgot this one post poach and pre dehydration (still unfinished)

[hardy pasture]

Love the colours!!

[gray hawk]

they look good imo !
and hope u feel better soon han

[agile jetty]

Omfg han this looks already incredible ure too hard on urself

Feel better soon! 🤍 Can’t wait to see your twist on this, you seem to have golden hands

[main quest]

what is this? pears? some look like ham

[brave loom]

yes pears - see above for the video I was trying to emulate - poached them in butterfly pea tea

And I changed the pH with citric acid

[main quest]

science pears whoa

unphotogenic noodles that I have been eating a lot lately
also more chili oil which is even more red irl

need to make sundubu jjigae 2day too and do some other stuff aaaa

[hardy surge]

that sounds good

whats in the noodles they look good

[kind sundial]

yum share plzz

[hardy surge]

sundubu jjigae sounds really good. I love Korean food

[brave loom]

thanks! chopped coriander, toasted peanuts, grated garlic, spring onion, pak choi, doubanjiang, hot chili oil poured over everything. and some black vinegar

[hardy surge]

oh gosh,yum. I will have to try it.

[brave loom]

my kitchen is in dire need of some cleaning lmao I did half of it this morning and promptly fucked it up again

[hardy surge]

Same. I hate cooking stuff due to cleanup

[kind sundial]

I need to try the pouring hot chilli oil thing sometime

[brave loom]

yesyes do it
v easy meal I make it often

[plain glen]

woah that chilli oil looks crazy!!! how did u get it so red :0

is it v spicy

[brave loom]

I have not tried it yet! but it is a blend of chili flakes (I measured with my eyes ), szechuan peppercorns, and a bit of cassia and star anise to give it some subtle warmth

[brave loom]

not my proudest work but I have enough spicy stew for about 3 weeks lmao (plus at least a week’s worth of congee in my freezer) …pathologically incapable of estimating appropriate quantities when vegetables are involved…I need a wife and children to feed or something (or a larger freezer)

forgot I was also going to make more dipping ramen some time but …next week I guess

[kind sundial]

yipeee

[prisma garden]

open your own restaurant 😶‍🌫️

[plain glen]

[brave loom]

yesyes pls report back if u make it! rly easy to do

[plain glen]

[brave loom]

I am certain my cooking is not good enough for that lmao although the idea of running a late night establishment is sort of charming

thank u you too, gay or otherwise! also excited for restaurants back on channel topic lol

at least I remembered to bring the fancy gin…

[dusky sky]

I hope there's some good food vendors at victoria park

[brave loom]

I hope sooo but if not - I have some restaurant recs in Hackney/east if u want

[dusky sky]

I've been to festivals where the vendors have been dogshit (creamfields) up to very good (latitude, boomtown)

[brave loom]

man I have to make it to latitude one day! fingers crossed it won’t be terrible lol I’m cautiously optimistic

[dusky sky]

its a chill vibe and they have a wine and cheese tent

the line up was a bit rubbish this year, they did have grimes a few years ago

[brave loom]

That is. so Latitude feeling somehow slightly called out as someone from that area looool

[brave loom]

I cannot believe I missed this man…

[dusky sky]

yeah, bad times

[dusky sky]

you will enjoy your wine and cheese and sit in a field listening to george ezra

[brave loom]

I went to a 24hr rave thing that had an espresso/brownie bar so I can’t even judge

I had been saving this for an emergency but I am hungry & have a headache at work which felt like enough of one….presenting…Hatsune Miku ramen courtesy of @vestal mason

I am in some shock over how blue it actually is

Something mildly unsettling about her hair resembling the noodles too. I feel as if I am about to partake in a shameful act against Miku by eating this

[tribal moss]

miku ramen reveal!! had been waiting for this one the color is so vibrant?? ||also it does look a lot like her hair. wanted to make a small joke but it sounded disgusting and I want you to enjoy your meal 😭|| I hope your headache goes away soon! hopefully the coziness of the ramen helps a bit

https://youtu.be/7upTPyRWmZY?si=T0kWE6L4bF-JNL33 super random but this guy is a line chef at a Chinese restaurant in Brooklyn & a while ago he was talking about how cut fruit are culturally significant in that they are often served by way of apology from your parents. and this guy was just super jazzed about his afternoon task which was prepping the fruit, lol. anyway they gave him a whole section about it & I’m so here for this (also cool fruitz featured..)

my beloved,,

Forgot the entire purpose of coming to this channel was to post my mango bun, too distracted by allure of megashallots

[gray hawk]

ooooooomg such a big container..... 😋 enjoy

i love those bc i love onion but i also hate them bc they get soo stuck in my teeth and its not sensorially nice to me

onion/shallots . is it the same..? the ones i eat are onion at least )

[brave loom]

they are different but similar! onions are larger and more sort of pungent, shallots are smaller (often this oval shape too) and a little sweeter/less assertive/less piquant

lady of shallot type beat sorry very stupid… (there is a poem & painting of the same name) (unrelated to the allium I believe..)

[royal zinc]

@brave loom a hazy IPA might be your thing - bitter, but less malt than a trad UK brew. If the 'loaf of bread' effect is from the sheer amount of carbs it might be hard to avoid. But I find malt contributes a lot to the heaviness of beer.

[brave loom]

bless up! I really appreciate this rec - will see what I can find locally & will report back 👀 cold ones night in grimescord when

[royal zinc]

my new favourite seasonings
left, dried jalapeno & salt. right, dried habanero

fried shallots are so good omg

[brave loom]

these look so legit!!! how did you make them?? just blended them together? omg I bet some herbs maybe bay leaf would go well in there too depending on the use...

there's this korean word for 'food that calls out for beer' (maybe anju? I don't think so tho) and I feel this a lot with spicy, crispy things...giving me ideas

[royal zinc]

I bought jalapenos in brine, along with "dried" habaneros, and dehydrated them. Next, I used a hand grinder to tear gas myself chop them up. Throw them into a spice grinder and enjoy!
Gherkin slices are also irresistible!! Surpisingly sweet and they come out almost candied. Along with sweet pepperdew chillis

@dusky sky @royal zinc Please rate my selection

ihavenoideawhatimdoing.jpg

[kind sundial]

blue moon is maybe my fav beer good one

[dusky sky]

Good selection!
That 11% sour is expert mode for sure 😂

[brave loom]

idk I mostly drink gin so I guess I didn’t really think about the alcohol content

we will see how it is

[dusky sky]

Recommend starting with the Blue Moon

[brave loom]

you got it

[tribal moss]

I'm not a beer person at all but that Schöfferhofer and hazy ipa are calling me....

[brave loom]

I am not at all a beer person so this will be an adventure

[royal zinc]

Basil grande is closest to what I would recommend a non-beer drinker. Possibly the lightest of your choices - this or the Vault City are my starting pick.
The 11% sour is vvvv interesting. Citra has a strong flavour (I like it), Amarillo is very popular, and Nelson Sauvin and Motueka are from NZ . This has the potential to be very bitter but it's mixed with a hard lemonade?
Hazy IPAs are much of a muchness. It's the go-to on tap style here but also a bit of a meme. Personally I love a good meme.
By far the most traditionally European beers you have purchased, Hefeqeizen (wheat) beers has a yeasty character which is not for me. Tho I would drink anything graepfruit flavoured

[brave loom]

ahhh this is incredible, thank you so much for the detailed review - very much appreciated

the nice man in the shop did tell me about the NZ hops and that perhaps influenced my decision 😶‍🌫️ have heard about the ipa meme of late yes......will have to sample

I think I am least likely to enjoy the intensely yeasty one which is why I got the blend

[prisma garden]

idk what "much of a muchness" means but will assume it is a kiwi-ism
the key thing is that IPAs are NOT bad

IPA with grapefruit ... sounds epic to me 😋

[brave loom]

simply the king of fruits

(disputed) (good tho)

[granite dust]

You didn’t ask me but… I’m really wanting the two on the farthest right!

[granite dust]

I also love your salt and pepper grinders

I highly rate Peugeot grinders

[royal zinc]

"much of a muchness" is to say they tend to be quite similar

Also thank you! Forgot to say as I was streaming when you pinged me but they are from Le Creuset, scored them on a very deep discount/sale lol

Since we were discussing cold noodle dishes for summer in #qotd⁇ , here is one I have made a few times (I amend the recipe a bit but the basic formula is pretty good, very refreshing) (also vegan fwiw)

Forgive the stained page lmao my cookbooks get this way

[prisma garden]

this looks tasty but i was so confused by "mangetout" lmao is that just peas in a pod

[brave loom]

Yes haha they’re these special peas where you can eat the pods

I think they are immature?

Quite a common veg here to find in the supermarket

[prisma garden]

britain loves to take the most mundane foods and say euh neuh it is quite posh and fancy 🧐 because it has a french name now

[brave loom]

It is different!! because the pods are edible (unlike regular peas where they are kind of stringy and tough) ||but you’re also not wrong about the Posh French Cuisine thing so 😶‍🌫️||

it's not like north americans don't do this 😶‍🌫️

Niceeeeee

And no worries

1. Tripel karmeliet: for if u dont wanna drink a lot but get tipsy easily (just one is enough to get tipsy)
2. Stella artois: if u like light blonde beer, pretty basic but it's nice for warm nights!
3. Kasteel rouge: if u like a little cherry in ur beer! very heavy on the stomach though, and if u dirnk too much of them ur throat will feel like it's burning the net day. nice for cold winters!
4. Vedett: not heavy, just nice! and nice design

cracking open a..cold one….?? Wish me luck..

Aiiii. Oh no. Bad. Would not recommend. Bad bad

Oh god why can’t I stop drinking this

I deserve punishment

I did not realise it was possible for sparkling water to taste rotten

It’s like someone fermented a werther’s original and extracted its very soul

[prisma garden]

where did you even FIND this wtf this looks AWFUL

[brave loom]

oddly enough from the place I usually order my incense from?? I also got some umeboshi flavoured crisps (they were significantly better)

[kind sundial]

lol i've had the jigglypuff peach one of those that is good

[brave loom]

yes it was orful I am regret

But I had to know

[kind sundial]

sea salt cheese as a drink is crazy tho lol

[brave loom]

It’s a semi common bubble tea topping but why did I think it would be good carbonated……

And usually that is more of a cream cheese taste. I thought perhaps it would be more yoghurty. But no. Cheese

[prisma garden]

i knew that cheese stuff was a fad i didn't trust it ..

[kind sundial]

cheese tea is ok

[brave loom]

happy to be of service grimescord, please take my review in earnest and do not partake

I like the sea salt cream topping on oolong tea, just not outright cheese powder like some places do

[kind sundial]

oh i've never seen it like that lol

[prisma garden]

i am thinking this would taste like cheez-its but liquid and carbonated and that is not sounding ideal however your "rotten" descriptor is No

[prisma garden]

cheese powder???? fucked up thing to do to oolong at least waste that on a mid tea..

[brave loom]

I will admit I am not huge on cheese anyway (why did she buy it. the world wonders) but yes it just reads as an Off Note to me

[kind sundial]

curiosity killed the cat

[brave loom]

fr…you understand the sanctity of oolong…

[prisma garden]

this is making me think of these shrimp-flavoured korean chips i bought a week or two ago and i had a few and then left the bag in the cupboard and forgot them and you know it's bad because i regularly down half or all of a bag of chips at once but these were so disappointing and Not
like. sweetened shrimp. ew

[brave loom]

oh No those sound grim ;-; I fear it’s always kind of a gamble getting savoury snacks from the Asian supermarket because there’s a chance they will be too sweet (especially breads & things)… but it never stops me from trying

[prisma garden]

yes i fear ... also happened to me with some pork buns before ... horrid

[floral sun]

@prisma garden, you have just reached level 31!!! congratz

[prisma garden]

o no

[brave loom]

I had to turn my spring onion roll into a spicy egg sandwich because of this lmao

[prisma garden]

when food is grossly sweet (which is often) i find spice CAN sometimes help mask it

[kind sundial]

i have not had this problem i've never bought a snack i didnt like.......

[brave loom]

Was going to post sandwich pic but was truly too mid to share lmao but one thing I noticed is that the bread toasted REALLY fast/easily burned due to the sugar content ;-; guess I will have to make my own spring onion rolls

[brave loom]

drop your faves in the chat

[brave loom]

this is actually also the reason I struggle with pork floss…the bubble tea place ran out of what I ordered so sent them as a replacement…but they were sweet cream-filled buns, almost like a sweetened choux bun, with pork floss on the outside…i tried my best but sweet/savoury is a struggle

[kind sundial]

umm obviously these are sweet but i love them

so crunchy and i love honey

[brave loom]

honey is good…I need to make some more grapefruit honey soon for drinks…

[prisma garden]

that's fucking me up sorry to them but that sounds horrid
pork floss on savoury things ... good ... but ... cream-filled buns china what is this ... this isn't your heart ...

(As u can see above I would not recommend) (the cheese just. The cheese froks. It was so potent)

[main quest]

how did they cheese the water

im fascinated by that

[brave loom]

Well the thing that worries me is that the label has cheese in bold like it’s an allergen

So I think there is ACTUAL CHEESE in there

[main quest]

the salt was probably good for you ngl retaining more liquid to stay hydrated

[brave loom]

How???? I couldn’t tell you…hoping a powder and not a steeping situation

they just have this limp barely pungent white stuff 90% of the time

maybe curacao but?!! was it good

[brave loom]

how thoughtful of you to be of service

[dusky sky]

I put in a shift for sure

[brave loom]

hard work!

[dusky sky]

All work and no play

🍹

[brave loom]

firstly @prisma garden do you know what quark is or do you need a preamble

[prisma garden]

yes i do

[brave loom]

okok good

in german and austrian cooking, it is not uncommon to use quark (topfen) in place of cream cheese for cheesecakes

it is lower in fat (and therefore incidentally low calorie/high protein) which leads to a slightly different texture. usually you need to combine it with eggs that have been beaten to soft peaks in order to get a slightly fluffier texture, or you risk it turning out grainy. it's also common (but not essential) to include a crust that goes all the way up the side of the cake, frequently made with something like almond meal. sour cherries are another common accompaniment

overall, it gives you a cheesecake with a dense, rich texture which is somewhat lighter than NY cheesecake due to the lower fat content (less of the creaminess that can kind of coat your tongue). it's also often a little bit more sour (depending on the quark used). good breakfast cheesecake..

you can also use this filling as one for a soft genoise sponge for something more akin to a traditional cake, but lighter...

AMA about cheesecake I guess?

this was probably already more than u wanted to know

should add maybe it is baked not set

[I'm sure u could make a set one if u so desired tho hmm]

[prisma garden]

i am very into the concept of sour cherry cheesecake in fact 👀

[brave loom]

probably have a recipe somewhere... idk if u would deign to make it but would recommend...

grimescord cheesecake club since we're getting @pure comet in on this as well apparently

[pure comet]

I got my notebook, I got my love for cheesecake, I was born for this

top 3 cheesecake flavors?

[brave loom]

impossible question... I feel like I'm going to go for...

1. classic (there's something to be said for the purity of the original u know) 2. the tieguanyin one I mentioned in #chat⁎1 (something about the floral nature of it and the bitterness of the tea?! idk) and maybe... 3. matcha?! (used to be a great place near me that did matcha with a tiny tiny! bit of set chocolate on top with fresh strawberries - not too much, enough to preserve the grassy flavour of the tea - so good)

drop yours in the chat

[pure comet]

honestly I've only explored basic cheesecakes 😐 hard to go wrong with classic cherry or strawberry, chocolate is a bit much most of the time, I feel like maybe if it was some kind of coffee-adjacent tasting chocolate that would be really something

[brave loom]

you're so right about chocolate... I'm seeing the vision here with the coffee though big fan of bitter flavours

I guess blueberry is pretty decent too

[pure comet]

https://britneybreaksbread.com/mocha-peanut-butter-cheesecake-bars/

something like this 🥺

I actually don't have many ideas on further questions for a cheesecake AMA, other than this: what do store bought cheesecakes do wrong? what exactly is missing iyo

idk enough about making* desserts to answer that myself

[brave loom]

the secret ingredient: love

but in seriousness not sure, I think possibly the inclusion of stabilisers to make them last longer decreases the quality? relying on things like xanthum gum to add a good mouthfeel rather than high quality cream etc... am just speculating though 👀

[pure comet]

It's a mystery to me since most store bought cheescake is low to mid, but somehow cheesecake from walmart is actually quite good?? maybe one day I'll get to the bottom of that puzzle 🧐

[kind sundial]

lol i thought of atomic physics quark 😭

[brave loom]

a strange cheesecake indeed…

[kind sundial]

speaking of desserts it's been quite a while since i've gone to any cafe i should change that.....

[brave loom]

Once I went to a late-night Thai place kinda drunk and when they asked if I wanted "Thai spicy" I said all dismissively "I'm Vietnamese, I think can do Thai spicy."

They brought me a soup that was 93% bear mace and I had to pretend like eating it wasn't giving me brain damage.

@prisma garden lava custard moon cake

they seem to be a bit of a trend atm in the same way that snow skin moon cakes were a while ago
I kept seeing recipes for them & this one especially caused me psychological distress because of the inclusion of cheese https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lwwxkgOQIbM

this one is closer to the ones I have, I think https://jajabakes.com/lava-custard-mooncakes/

it’s not really like a vanilla-forward creamy custard (tho they would be amazing), it has salted egg though. more kind of akin to a condensed milk but more savoury/salty, less overtly sweet. v enjoyable imo

i just learned that mooncake wellington is a thing omg

[prisma garden]

often, sharing cultures can be a beautiful thing

often.
implying not always.

much as i enjoy custard desserts idk about this lava mooncake either ... i'd try it but ? have never had a mooncake and thought "damn i wish the inside of this were extra gooey"

[brave loom]

the cheese one fills me with fear & I am afraid that may be too much for even me

but the other ones just kind of seem like an interesting take on salted egg (?) I’m kind of into it
I do wish that I also got some lotus paste ones, that said

too much sesame is my nemesis. it's so easy to think "ooohhh sesame, yummers 😋" & overdo it

[floral sun]

@royal zinc, you have just reached level 14!!! congratz

[brave loom]

I have still not finished all of these lol (hazy ipa and blue moon still in my fridge) (I kind of don’t ever have the opportunity) but I had to go to the tailor just now (good job Han) which was across the road from the beer shop & they have Friday tasting parties the cloudy lemonade was really really good so I intended to pick up a couple more of those but sadly it was limited edition… I got these instead! Feel like I need to branch beyond sours & take the recs people gave me tho lmao I am a walking stereotype of Woman Gets Into Beer

[dusky sky]

OOH

han cans

how's your beer journey been so far? whats good? what was fucking awful?

also the art ƒor the bottle on the right rules

[brave loom]

I have reviews in my notes app which I am too shy to share loool but in brief: the basil sour from before was not great (what I imagine La Croix to taste like! Almost kind of soapy and insipid), really liked the dry hop ‘cloudy lemonade’ (reminded me of a sauv blanc but lemony don’t @ me), the vault city iced tea was barely alcohol but also very good (kind of like the cloudy lemonade but less ‘mature’ and dry), the grapefruit schöfferhoffer (?) was pretty nice/refreshing but not INCREDIBLE u know? I still have a hazy ipa and a blue moon in my fridge to try…

Also the guy in the beer shop gave me something to try.. whatever it was, it tasted like liquid chocolate (?!). Crazy. I’m not sure how much I am into very dessert-forward stuff yet but it was fun to try 😌

[brave loom]

Right?? Kind of want to keep it lol it’s so special. Reminds me of the old dark arts coffee art

[dusky sky]

Craft beer has kept a whole generation of illustrators in work

[brave loom]

These bad boys (I had a better one saved but my phone has not detected the font lol)

[dusky sky]

the only people I know that are into sours big are women so you are definitely fitting the profile han 😂

really glad you found some things you enjoy!

there's so much out there now, there's something for everyone..

the liquid chocolate you described reminds me of this..

[brave loom]

I will diversify my taste!! the cloudy thing was just so good lol I had to see if they still had it (sour but also had this hoppy dryness to it which I rly liked)

[brave loom]

This is insane (!!) I had no idea beer came in all these esoteric flavours wtf

Is it good??

[dusky sky]

It was really strong

[brave loom]

I do like tonka

[dusky sky]

It was nice but got sickly halfway through

[brave loom]

That’s fair!! That is also my fear with a lot of beer, it’s kind of like drinking bread or something

[dusky sky]

I'm a big stout drinker and I love imperial stout too but they sometimes dump too much flavour into it

someone described it more as a salted caramel vodka liquer and I can totally see what they meant

[brave loom]

Hmm I feel like it might be too sweet for me but up for anything really 👀 I think the guy who runs the local beer shop is rly into dessert-y stuff so might end up trying something along these lines eventually

It’s nice that they do tastings

[dusky sky]

yeah that's an awesome idea

there's a beer festival this month and that's great for just trying loads of different beers

I don't want a third of a 12% barley wine, but i'll gladly have a generous sample of it!

[brave loom]

My dad used to go to those a lot & I never attended…regrets lol

Sounds like a great idea though!!

[dusky sky]

also this lol

[brave loom]

Hahahah

[dusky sky]

when they hand it back to you (after asking for a third), they ALWAYS go "it's a GOOD third"

[brave loom]

LOL I can hear it in my head

[dusky sky]

it's like code between ale drinkers that they'll give you a bit extra if you ask for a third

[brave loom]

maybe beer festival is my next outing

who is joining me

[dusky sky]

MEEEEE

[brave loom]

I’ll don the boots from #1097300099966697482 while we’re at it

[dusky sky]

man getting drunk with a bunch of Scottish ale drinkers would be such a laugh

after about 3 hours everyone is mega friendly at the beer festival

(cos they're pissed)

[brave loom]

I suppose it is Oktoberfest season…

[dusky sky]

I had a cold one after work

going to a friends place later, gonna have a tall boi tonka stout

it's called 'Tik Tonk'

[brave loom]

Ahhh amazing!! Hope you have a lovely time (report back on the beer) 😌 also loool the name

See now it’s ’Friday night’ I want to drink my beer but I actually have to go to work in a couple of hours lmao

[dusky sky]

1 unit per hour leaves your body... I think

[brave loom]

We’ll see if I need to actually be physically in the lab today lmfao

[dusky sky]

I guess for you this would be considered a 'morning beer' lmao

[brave loom]

||I know sometimes people do lab work after viva celebrations etc but technically! Pathogens & alcohol do not mix unless it’s the 70% kind||

[brave loom]

Yes exactly!! Need to schedule a midday weekend film screening or something to fit one in lol

[dusky sky]

Han the ethanol is not meant for you

please stay away from the 70% alcohol thank you

[dusky sky]

a nice cold one on a saturday lunchtime before bed

[brave loom]

When I get home from work.. yes…we will make this happen…

[dusky sky]

also omg that yes cat emoji rules

I bought a new beer the other day actually

let me find it..

https://lervig.no/product-portfolio/dark/konrads-stout-104/

It was in morrisons randomly not in the beer aisle

[brave loom]

Oh that can is gorrrrrgeous

I’m very intrigued by the coffee???

[dusky sky]

Yeah it's cool right

Oh coffee and stout is like chips and peas

alot of stouts have coffee notes to them

[brave loom]

I still have your beer moodboard screenshot lmao I have resolved to try one when I next venture to the beer shop!

[dusky sky]

HAHA

I actually forgot about that

really glad you enjoyed it!!

wow a month ago

so much has changed since then

There's an amazing beer shop in York if you're ever there

it's very Han coded

[brave loom]

My sibling lives there actually 👀

[dusky sky]

It's called House of the trembling madness

[brave loom]

Omg the name

Let me look it up

[dusky sky]

it's where I picked the tik tonk up and these others

(the sour was for my bro in law)

[brave loom]

Firstly this is so aesthetically pleasing
Also vault spotted (apparently they are local to me??)
Is that a pat val ale hahahah

Insane

Did you have a fave?

[dusky sky]

Oh they were all great, except the Tik Tonk which i'll have tonnight

the Pat Val was really good because it wasn't overly sweet but still indulgent

the imp stout was top tier, nice and strong but still flavourful

and the two Deyas were both fantastic and now I want to try their whole range

[brave loom]

Consider me intrigued I have absolutely no idea what’s happening on the can but I love it

Cheers for the reviews 😌

[dusky sky]

definitely pick up any Black Sheep if you get a moment, they're having a hard time with the cost of living

I discovered them not long ago and really would hate to see them go under

[brave loom]

I’ll keep an eye out for sure!! Rly brutal how it’s been affecting a lot of small businesses

Lots of places here offering free cake with coffee just to stay afloat/get people in. I don’t want free cake! I want you to stay open

[dusky sky]

Yeah... we had a really cute coffee place run by sisters, good coffee but they couldn't keep up in the pando

such a shame

(having said that, the coffee market is seriously saturated)

so competititive

[brave loom]

True.. when I was in London we’d go to a different coffee place every Sunday morning as a kind of ritual (at least when we could make it etc). Never ran out of places!

I am annoyingly into artisan coffee etc tho so works for me

[dusky sky]

I too like wanky coffee

[brave loom]

This is a safe space.

[dusky sky]

^ it u!!

[brave loom]

We need the endlessmoji

[dusky sky]

I wouldn't even know where to start with that

probably like the coffee snob one but with a beer! (and beans)

[brave loom]

An age ago (long deleted) I made one for vayy where his head it is cropped out of frame (he is very tall) lmaooo

[brave loom]

we can make this happen…

[dusky sky]

this is too cute

[brave loom]

I also had for Evie bc they are very strong. Custom emojis for all 😌

[dusky sky]

actually remember this

spoiler: someone enjoying a cold one

it would be too perfect lmao

[brave loom]

This photo has ultimate chill factor it’s so great

I am definitely going to work very hard on my thesis later and not waste my time on custom beermojis.

[dusky sky]

you should definitely work very hard

(on beermojis)

to stimulate that creative brain in prep for your thesis

[brave loom]

beer is made with microbes after all. it’s all coming together.

[dusky sky]

exactly you can't lose!!

[brave loom]

[tribal moss]

this just reminded me of how I wanted to do a mini review on all the beers I tried when I was in germany but I always forget.... and I can't do it rn...

cold ones review coming in n/a

[dusky sky]

here is my cold ones review
drinks cold ones
[SCENE MISSING]
thank.. you for ... watching my review.. goodnight

[brave loom]

pls!! I love reviews and would be keen to hear whenever u get an opportunity

[prisma garden]

o no sours are a Girl Beer now. will we ever be free from gendered drinks

@brave loom what is a tonka
a cocktail ?? i am confusion
is this brish

[brave loom]

it is not!
explain more later when free but it is a bean that has similarish flavours to vanilla (due to the coumarin which is a molecule which has a vanillic sort of smell to it). common in perfume & you sometimes find it in food, but too much is toxic so lots of places regulate its use. it has this rly nice kind of ‘vanilla but more savoury/nutty/spiced’ aroma to it

[brave loom]

getting into IPAs solely to spite gender roles idkidk

tonka cocktail tho u are giving me good ideas……

[prisma garden]

this was confusing because when i looked it up it kept saying tonka was a thing related to some cocktail i've never heard of and maybe it was vanilla-flavoured vodka (?) idkidk

we are reclaiming IPAs (i am reclaiming them from the "brodude" associations)

[brave loom]

artisan beverages have always been for the nerds (gender neutral) (me) & I will die on this hill

I should probably try the ipa in my fridge first tho

[kind sundial]

exciting goods acquired

[brave loom]

!!! I loveeee those

I can’t remember if I sent some to @tribal moss or not, or whether I ate them myself loool

I definitely got some for myself around the same time…

[tribal moss]

there were some thai tea mochi but they were the individual pack ones :> very good still though

[prisma garden]

being an extremely normal guy rn and trying to read all of the chinese japanese and thai on the box
but also i rly want to try it bc mochi 😋

[kind sundial]

oooo glad to hear it's good

about to try

[kind sundial]

update: yom as expected

[dusky sky]

Beer report: a nice 6ish percent tonka bean stout which had sweetness but not overly so. Very tasty and drinkable. The best thing is it came in a pint can and it lasted the whole movie 😁👍 (no pics sorry)

Movie report: we watched the menu and I loved it

[floral sun]

@dusky sky, you have just reached level 15!!! congratz

[dusky sky]

oh no i have the unreadable name in dark mode

need the vayy ourple not the v15 ourple

[prisma garden]

discord background is evil for colours that are both dark and bluish

[dusky sky]

it's a long road (for me) to the next colour

[brave loom]

blessed thank u for coming through with the review!! I'm into this, don't see tonka too often as a flavour so might have to seek this one out...

[dusky sky]

want to try this one...

[granite dust]

The op biorger seasoning method
