They're also waaaay easier to catch, they don't swim away when you hunt them

[wooden pivot]

welp, i didnt? time to share then :P

yesterday i brought it with me in a big bag, but some things leaned on it by accident, so it isnt as pretty as it was before that :P in other words, it got crushed a little

[compact scaffold]

That is indeed a green cake

[wooden pivot]

[compact scaffold]

Pandan

[wooden pivot]

nods

when i was still a young teenager, a neighbor told me about them, so i went out and bought one, and have been making them occasionally ever since :)

they're awesome >v<

and! and! i finally got the proper cake mold for it, this one i can cover with baking paper >v<

got it last week, after looking for it for like 2 years :D

the previous one has all kinds of patterns in it :c

this one i always had, and is impossible to cover with baking paper :P

(google stock images)

(was surprised to find the exact model i have on top of the search results)

this is the one im having now :P (took a photo, cuz google didnt help me out here)

and now i kinda wanna try making poffert one day >v< havent had that since i was, uh, 9?

[flint oak]

mmmm pandan cake

been a while since i tasted that

[wooden pivot]

yeah, great cake >v<

[wide pendant]

This is so trueee!!!

You ought to try this technique of mine!!!

Mix together equal parts of oil and flour, then brush this on your pan before pouring your cake batter...

This helps with preventing the cake stick on the pan!!!

Hope this helps

[wooden pivot]

i mean yeah, i butter it up normally, but eh the cleaning process is so tedious as well with that one

Anybody ever try…Maple Water?🍁🧉

[vivid wadi]

never herd of it

[deft jetty]

Maybe it's a Canadian thing lol! I've been looking at artisan waters and saw Maple water as well as Rose Water and Orange Blossom Water. 🌹 🍊 🥤

[vivid wadi]

it's definitely Canadian I'm assuming more from the populated Quebec area then the coast

[deft jetty]

I’ve only ever saw Maple Water in the fancy organics section of Canadian superstores. I was definitely interested in tasting it but a litre was pricey…💸 (I live in Southern Ontario)

[neat fjord]

We had it around the great lakes in the States, too.

(Then I moved to the middle of a desert for some reason and I need to get my maple-y goodness sent in care packages)

I now feel like making pancakes.

[deft jetty]

Oop, sorry I guess? I love me some flap jacks tho. 🥞😆

I’m craving something called Falooda and I’ve only ever had it twice in my life. I’m obsessed with the rose syrup that’s in it. 😋🌹🍨 It’s a Pakistani and Indian dessert but I wonder if Indonesia has something similar to this?

[weak flax]

I had a glass of milk ready 😅

[wooden pivot]

what do i see? :)

[worn mica]

Seems like spaghetti with tomatos, a lemon part hmm

Wings and mushrooms?

[stable kestrel]

Wings and green papaya salad maybe? Steamed rice in the little basket?

[weak flax]

Yes! Northeastern style Thai papaya salad, chicken wings and sticky rice

[stable kestrel]

Did your mouth survive the salad? I make it at home sometimes. I made the mistake early on of blindly using the same number of chilies, and then somehow got a batch that were hotter. I did not have milk handy either.

[weak flax]

just about 😅 its my mother's level of spice and she didn't really count on how many chillies but she knew that she chucked a lot into the salad hahaha
how do you like your papaya salad? there's different variations that you could do, and i usually eat it with fermented fish (pla ra)

[stable kestrel]

I have no idea if it’s distinctive of any region or anything, but my usual single batch for me is papaya, green or long beans, cherry tomatoes, eggplant if I have some (more thinly sliced and less of it than the salad in your photo), peanuts, palm sugar, fish sauce (nam pla), lime, and chilies. Yours looks darker and less crisp than mine usually does (guessing a combo of using pla ra and maybe pounding the papaya a bit more?)

I guess if I could describe mine compared to some other versions I’ve had, I like it crunchy (pounding the papaya a little less, plus the green beans and more peanuts) and tart with just enough sweetness and bitterness and savory flavor to help balance it a bit. And it’s usually the hottest dish at the table, which confuses people who aren’t expecting it.

Here’s a pic from a while back of one I made. I guess the papaya actually looks a lot more noodle like but I still remember it being fairly crisp?

[worn mica]

You sure that right dish isn't a witches brew

The top mushroom may secretly be an eyeball

It's really interesting seeing other folks' chocolate chip cookie recipes. I spent like, a year making a recipe that I liked and people look at me weird now when I say "Brown butter best butter."

[compact scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-look-the-other-way-look-away-awkward-weird-gif-17246188

[wooden pivot]

what is brown butter? :P

[half prism]

I do brown butter chocolate chip cookies too!

[half prism]

Brown butter is actually “browned butter”. It means you take butter and toast it in a pan before incorporating it into your recipe. It takes the water out of it and browns the fat content giving a deeper and nutty flavor to the butter. Some people compare the flavor to toffee.

[sonic vessel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCbEwyntSCM

this guy has a pretty good explanation for it, just... in a more adult application lol

the browned-butter part starts at about 7:00 lol

[wooden pivot]

i miiiight have considered that 'burned butter' 👀

[half prism]

You definitely have to be careful and stop before it burns, but I think it’s worth it if you do it right.

[wooden pivot]

haha yeah it burns easily, i just assumed brown meant that it was already getting burned :P

[worn mica]

I mean we literally decided to eat food which has been hanging in smoke for hours

[neat fjord]

Yeah, browned butter is about the same attentiveness required as making caramel or toffee. >.<

[wooden pivot]

true

oh i didnt know that about butter & caramel

makes me wonder whether i've ever made caramel or toffee 🤔

[neat fjord]

They are in the same culinary category: caramel is usually not heated to hard tack and is made using sugar (and sometimes includes milk or cream), but toffee is usually heated to hard tack and made using sugar and butter. Both are essentially "boil a sugar+dairy mixture, but don't burn it," just to different temperatures.

[wooden pivot]

yeah, i've always heard that 'caramel = burned sugar', with the nuance that it is a very careful process :P

you can also make caramel alike something from condensed milk i believe

[worn mica]

Caramel is molten sugar

Interestingly enough temperature is a big deal for the hardness

Banana fritters? 🍌🍳

[lofty jungle]

Aesthetically they look terrible bit they're small thick pancakes with apples and raisins in them, here's what I used:

250g flour
300ml milk
1 egg
1 pack of vanilla sugar (roughly) 8-10grams
Teaspoon of cinnamon
Bit of yeast
Bit of salt
1 apple (cut in small bits)
100g raisins

Also I used wheat flour this time, instead of the normal white flour but it's up to preference really

To bake them just add butter to a frying pan, and scoop with a table spoon three sepparate small piles of batter, then just bake them until the underside is brown golden, flip and finish

3 in de pan (Dutch recipe) gets their name from being baked as multiple small pancakes in the same pan

You can add syrup or sugar on top just like with normal pancakes too o/

[stray fern]

Honestly I did just wing the amounts, stew is really just as "whatever feels right" sort of thing for the ingredients

[sonic vessel]

except garlic. the correct amount for 'enough garlic' is always more

[stray fern]

Theres no garlic in this since you don't want to overpower the mild creamy flavpr

There is however a generous amount of ginger powder

[crimson fossil]

Thanks for the answer. I asked because even soups and stews have a recipe sometimes, for achieving a specific taste, that you'd struggle to recreate otherwise ^^

I think I'll try it over the week end.

We have quail eggs all over the year here.

Yeah the eggs were okay, I removed them from the leftovers of mine too, your changes sound delicious

Hi guys! I'm in need of advice! About caramel 🥄 🥣 Until this morning, I had only ever made very small amounts at once, and it worked perfectly. One spoon of water + one spoon of white sugar, let it melt, then bubble, then brown until the desired color is reached, and then add cream or milk, depending on what you're cooking with it. But today, I tried a recipe that called for caramel made from 300g of sugar. I used the same pot as usual, about 18cm diameter. I added 1 spoon of water. And... Some sugar lumps never dissolved :( Any advice? I did try to stir it with a spoon, if that's relevant; when I saw that the caramel was getting pretty dark and that some lumps were still whole, but it didn't help. What did I do wrong?

[half prism]

I would break up the lumps before putting them in the water. You can also put the sugar through a wide mesh strainer to make sure and catch the lumps. You want to try to avoid stirring the caramel as much as possible because it encourages crystallization which can make your caramel grainy

[wooden pivot]

not really sure, to be honest xD its just one of the thickest soups i know :P but anyone can water it down to their liking :P

the ingredients are:
split peas, water, broth, carrots, celery stems, celeriac, leek, leaves of celery, and optional bacon :P

[wooden pivot]

the house will slowly sink down into one pile of soup :P

[wooden pivot]

and here i am, impressed that you make caramel :P (i buy it from the grocery store 😇 )

[crimson fossil]

The thing is that the lumps formed after the sugar started cooking. But yes, thanks for the advice about stirring!

[crimson fossil]

Well, honestly not the biggest success ever, but it still tastes good (I added vanilla and salted butter to make it salted-butter-vanilla-caramel cream :D )

[crimson fossil]

I didn't know it influenced cristallisation.

[half prism]

Oh! I understand the question now. You can always add a little water to help the sugar dissolve more. If you’re having too much trouble dissolving them, I’d just remove them with a fork

[half prism]

Yep! Sugar is kind of a weird mineral and heat just makes it weirder

[crimson fossil]

Yeah, I ended up having to remove them with a spoon in the end, when all had cooled down ^^' . The lumps had become super hard!

Thanks for the advice about the additional water! I didn't dare when I was cooking, because the recipe said to make "dry caramel", from which I assumed they meant very little water...

[half prism]

Let me know if it helps!

[stray fern]

[stray fern]

[vivid wadi]

It sounds like you did the dry method. I've done this once myself I ended up adding a little bit of water to break up those crystallized sugar it will take you a little longer but you can recover from this

[remote pagoda]

And in caramel stirring should be avoided lest the sugar crystalize.

Adding water to the sugar so the sugar is spread evenly and letting it boil undisturbed under a watchful eye is the best method I've found

[crimson fossil]

I have enough for now, but I'll tell you next time I make some :)

[crimson fossil]

Aha, they will hate me... My veins don't know yet that I've frozen the caramel cream in little round blobs, in order to use it as filling for buckwheat cookies :D

[crimson fossil]

Looks delicious! :D

[crimson fossil]

I wonder if anyone can make it work with no water. I sure won't try again, but I'm just curious.

[crimson fossil]

Thanks :-)

[neat fjord]

Hiya!
So, all caramel is eventually dry. How you start doesn't matter one bit. Regardless of if you mix 100g of sugar with no water or 1 litre of water, you will get 100g of caramel (assuming it doesn't get sucked up in the steam). You only get to the thread stage at 105ish C and water generally likes to evaporate around 100. If what you've got going on begins to change colour, it's at least ~150 degrees. If somehow there were still water in it, please contact some physicists or chemists, because you've just discovered a new state of matter.

The primary reason people say to not mix the caramel is that is causes crystals to form. This is a bit of a misnomer; they form on the edges of the pan where you are sloshing the sugar mix up to the sides of the pan where they cool and crystalize. Caramel will not crystalize if it not allowed to cool down and start precipitating (or you get it up beyond 180 and you are burning it for sport). If you are not doing a "low and slow" method like making it in the oven (my preferred way), you could have spot burning without stirring, so I generally caution people against not stirring - particularly if nothing is being added to the caramel. It's going to harden; any "grain" can't be noticed there.

In your case, you are adding dairy after it has reached whatever your preferred colour is (I am a light-medium caramel fan, myself). If you had clumps of sugar from the very beginning of your caramel, and those never broke up, you were working with either sugar crystals that were too large to fully melt, or some of the initial sugar clumped together with the (I am assuming) small addition of water in the beginning. Like others have said, sifting your sugar (Though please do not use confectioner's sugar - there is no difference once it melts) is helpful, but I usually say "just dissolve it in water." The main merit of making it the dry method is that you don't need to spend the time and energy to evaporate the water.

[neat fjord]

@crimson fossil (Continued) Since you are adding dairy, a common thing that happens is that the solids in the milk burn when mixing it into the caramel (substantially higher temp than they would burn at). To safely add dairy, I usually recommend having a second pot on the stove or in the oven at close to the temperature that your caramel is heated to. If you need to, let the caramel cool some (but make sure it does not start to crystalize) so you can add the dairy without making a smoky/boiling mess. Having the two at closer temperatures means there is less of a temperature shock to the caramel (which can cause crystal formation when there is rapid cooling) and it reduces the risk of you burning any of those creamy milkfats that you are trying to get into the caramel by adding dairy in the end.

I usually recommend people at home to use anywhere from a 1:1 to a 1.25:1 sugar:water ratio (without heating, the most you will dissolve is around 1.4:1 by weight) so you have as little water to boil off as possible, but you still have something there to make sure the mixture is a solution and near homogeneous. Bring it to a boil, then toss it in an oven preheated to the temperature corresponding to your favourite caramel colour. Leave it in there for about an hour, giving it a light stir and clearing the sides of the pan (if any bubbling has deposited crystals on the walls of the vessel) every 15-20 minutes. If you are adding dairy, start heating it up around the last time you give your caramel a stir. Once you remove the caramel from the oven, slowly add the dairy, stirring constantly. This will reduce the risk of burning or getting a grainy caramel. If you do not want air bubbles in the caramel, be careful not to stir too vigorously. Once everything you want to add is incorporated, let it cool, either on the countertop, or by putting it back into the oven after turning it off (and then come back in a couple hours to get it.)

[crimson fossil]

Oooh thank you very much for the detailed explanation, and for taking the time to write it down! It's all very interesting! I understand better my mistakes now. On the one hand, I gess I added just enough water to make lumps, but not enough to really help with dissolving the sugar. On the other hand, I most definitely used a too high flame, since some of the sugar started browning before all of it was melted! I didn't know you could make it in the oven, I'll give it a try somewhen.

About the dairy: the recipe I had said to heat up the cream until just below the boiling point, and then to add to the caramel. It DID make a smoking and boiling mess ^^ (but at least didn't overflow the pot :p ) Ok, so I get it, hot enough that the caramel does not cristallize; cool enough that the mix does not try to escape by boiling itself into oblivion.

Thanks for the step-by-step recipe too :-) I will print your invaluable explanations and glue them in my recipe book. Some people get statues. Some people get streets named after them. Well, know that you too will be remembered :p (joke aside, that's useful info to keep at hand)

So... I guess you're a cook? ^^ ("I usually recommend people at home"). Or a chemist. Or a culinarily-orientated mad scientist.

I was anxious today and looking for something to distract myself, so I made a bit of milk chocolate. From cacao nibs, powdered milk, and palm sugar. In a mortar and pestle.

The hand grinding left it a little gritty and with tons of tiny little air pockets which gave it an interesting texture and crunch.

So a pizookie?

[stable kestrel]

‘Dessert pizza’ is actually a thing. Sometimes on a cookie-based crust and sometimes on a normal or slightly modified pizza crust. I’ve had ones with apples and cinnamon on pizza crust, cherries and granola on pizza crust, ricotta and/or cream cheese with chocolate chips and caramel on pizza crust, and ricotta and fresh fruit on a cookie crust. It was probably more popular when I was a kid than it is now though.

[stable kestrel]

Please tell me at least some of those are an April fools joke. I’ve had some uncommon KitKat flavors from Japan, and even cookies made with sardine lard as the primary fat (they were melon flavored and surprisingly tasty, and weren’t as good anymore when the producer switched to a vegan recipe), but the fish and chips and maybe the bangers and mash timtams feel like they cross a line that wasn’t meant to be crossed.

I’ve had cheese flavored KitKat before and they were slightly odd but pretty good. And I don’t mean like cream cheese or mascarpone, I mean they had actual freeze dried Camembert and Emmentaler and things like that mixed into a white chocolate shell.

I think these might be cream cheese. Krim rasa keju / cheese flavoured cream (cream cheese?)

[stable kestrel]

They might be. I don’t speak Indonesian, so I don know. But I’d definitely be willing to try them if I happened to see them.

And I’m now slightly upset that the proposed scones and cream flavor doesn’t exist and isn’t for sale in the USA.

I mean, I haven’t asked for it, but I’m not as strongly against it either.

It’s one of those things I’d be willing to try once just to see what it’s like.

It might be like a savory doughnut type experience, or like eating a breakfast sandwich using pancakes or waffles as the bread.

But it does have taiyaki and some sorta dried fish skin?

I think I’ve had that exact taiyaki before. The center is like a really airy strawberry flavored white chocolate if it’s the one I’m thinking of. There’s also grape gum or candy or something like that and maybe one of the ones in the pack is sour as some sort of surprise? It’s not one I’m familiar with and I’m having a hard time making sense of the text but I’m by no means fluent. The thing below that is maybe some kind of rice cracker or taro cake or something? I think it says it’s spicy yakiniku flavor.

[worn mica]

The bottom thing has in small print やきにき, so some sort of meat thing?

It's like wafer thin

[stable kestrel]

Yeah, meat flavor at least. Maybe a snack of some kind.

[worn mica]

I recieved this box, no clue from who, it was properly addressed, and the site on a flyer was for a goodie box. confused noises

Maybe like a flavoured shrimp cracker

Those can be really powerful in taste and smell

I've also read they sometimes fill taiyaki with red bean paste, but that may not be okay for boxed goods?

[stable kestrel]

That taiyaki is definitely not filled with bean paste. But some are, even in shelf stable packaging. That one is strawberry flavored and has some kind of chocolate-based filling.

i feel exactly the same xD

i've talked about marsipan and fondant with someone in the past

and they looked at me like i lost it somewhere, that i prefer marsipan

my brother on the other hand, if i decorated a cupcake (which i baked myself) with marsipan, he'd eat the marsipan and leave the cupcake 😅

[neat fjord]

I am in this picture and I don't like it.

[wooden pivot]

b-brother?! O.o

(xD)

but yeah, i like the flavor of marsipan in combination with cake :P

I just bake as a hobby, but whenever one of my friends it like "Fondant is soooooooo cool" I go "Royal icing and masipan. Like Duct Tape and WD40, you don't need anything else."

Yup. Unfortunately, I don't think one exists. W-H-W-H-WH-W-W and it's traversing around the circle doesn't exist. >.<

There's the "Pfluke Scale" in D, but I can't find anything about it so I would believe it's imaginary?

[neat fjord]

NEVERMIND. D DIMINISHED LYDIAN.

[serene pawn]

What fruit is on the cake?

[wooden pivot]

if i remember correctly, strawberries dipped in chocolate :P

[wooden pivot]

thanks

[wooden pivot]

if you found any music similar to the music i did with the food, do share it with me :D (i have little knowledge in music :P usually i simply doodle the notes at the places that seem to suit them :P)

if i remember correctly, it was really difficult to impossible to have the notes differently with this cookie-decoration :P

Chicken and blue corn pozole.

And I cannot begin to describe how comforting it is to have decent Mexican food after going months without it. I grew up with easy access to very good and reasonably priced Mexican but very few places where I live now are any good, and I've been dealing with a lot of medical stuff and this is the first time in months I've been able to cook my own - not my absolute best as I took some shortcuts, but still much, much better than 95-99% of the local restaurants.

Makin' truffles. It's in the fridge now to settle before I cut it up.

HAHAH JUST KIDDING

[wooden pivot]

oh no, now the cat needs to be cleaned, cuz cats cant handle chocolate (or sugar even)

but them foodies look delicious

that reminds me to share the photos of when i ate out, recently

also, im recovering more and more, cuz when i ate this, i felt annoyed that i make better food myself 😅 for less money 👀 D:<

and that is how i usually feel when i eat out :P

'so im paying 15+ euro for this meal, and at home i make for less than 5 euro a meal that is way tastier? 🤔 >:c why am i eating out???'

[drowsy silo]

Thinking about the seafood we got with the fam on Saturday 🥴😋

[wet citrus]

Omg first time making macarons and they're beautiful! 😭

[vivid wadi]

great job

[wet citrus]

Thank you!

Gonna make some swiss meringue buttercream (for the first time as well) later cause I'm tired now lol

[wet citrus]

I consider this a success! I know a lot of people struggle with macarons cause they are quite finicky. These are definitely not perfect but they weren't a total flop so I'm excited to try again!

[solemn iris]

cute cartoony red hand

and your macaroon looks absolutely delish

me wamt

[wet citrus]

Thank you! And yes discord doesn't appreciate fingers

[vivid wadi]

I find they become finicky depending one the seasonal humidity changes. You whipped yours properly so congratulations

[wet citrus]

Yeah today was very not humid so I got lucky. Plus I used cream of tartar which helps

[vivid wadi]

😄 I know

I've made hundreds

[wet citrus]

Oooo one day i shall also have made hundreds 😄

[tame turtle]

makes me want instant noodle

[serene pawn]

Those chips seem like I used to eat them

[wet citrus]

So i made another batch of macarons today since I still had a lot of buttercream left. I lowered the temp on my oven since it tends to run a little hot.

[vivid wadi]

so how did they turn out?

[wet citrus]

As you can see the top shell hollowed but the bottom one didn't. But they still taste delicious!

[vivid wadi]

are they underbaked? I can't tell. But is you dropped the temperature it could be a reason for the collapse

[wet citrus]

Nope! They're cooked through.

I think it was just a few of them. Most of them arent hollow

[wet citrus]

Here's my pile of macarons lol

Last night

Lunch today

[upper pond]

Yes, https://www.thevanillabeanblog.com/neapolitan-cookies/ I've made some of her other recipes too, and they all turn out delicious! 😋

[rain glade]

now im thinking 'last night, i gave you my heart, but the very next day, you gave it away'
instantly corrected to 'last night, i gave you my sushi, but the very next day, you gave it away'
the food looks delicious though 🙂

my dinner was a few cupcakes 👀

i promise i'll eat proper meals again instead of cupcakes, a bite of cheese, and other random stuff that i can find

[crimson fossil]

Thanks for the answer! :-) I'll probably try to make them ^^

[wooden pivot]

the foods look delicious :) gotta say it

[crimson fossil]

Home-made extravagant feast...

With a dessert :D

One of the perks of being an adult with a kitchen :D

Any advice on a sauce for burgers? I usually make a mix of cottage cheese or yoghurt + raclette cheese + a bit of ketchup + onions cooked with butter and honey. I'm getting a bit tired of it though ^^

[worn mica]

Hmm

A homestyle bbq sauce?

I'm also partial to a decent teriyaki sauce

It seems to fork for me

I made muffins tonight
choco fudge with choco top and smoller cinnamon sugar

Bene don't shoot me, you can have some.

[vivid wadi]

that's a muffin? sounds like a cupcake

[neat fjord]

At least in the states, pretty sure the only thing differentiating between a muffin and a cupcake is the density of the bread. Cupcakes might be sweeter, but everything is sweetened over here. :p

[vivid wadi]

Yes muffins are denser but I believe they arnt ment to be sweet they are more savory. That is a cupcake^^^ nobody puts icing on a muffin possibly unless you are American 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[neat fjord]

Oh no, not at all. Don't think I've ever had a particularly sweet muffin elsewhere and most of the recipes I use do not use sugar unless it's like, an apple crumble on top or something.

At that point it's more of a dessert muffin. (But given the love of sugary breakfasts over here...)

[odd prairie]

Na. Cupcakes are exactly muffins but smaller. That is a more of a doughnut but in a muffin shape

[odd prairie]

Nope both. I’m not American LOL. You can get sweet and savoury muffins.

My favourite savoury one to make is bacon cheese and onion. My favourite sweet one is chocolate.

I also love crispy lemon

[odd prairie]

Apricot chutney or plum sauce for a chicken burger

[vivid wadi]

well we can agree to disagree or a hotdogs a taco

[odd prairie]

[drifting tusk]

So, the weather in my place where I live is really hot (about 34°C) and the air in my room feels very stuffy, so I decided to find some sweet & cold treats. Finally, I found a street vendor that sells durian fruit ice and decided to order one (because I like durian too). Turns out it's so delicious, even I ordered another one haha (this time, with red beans.). Just sharing a short story about a sweet little thing that can make someone smile. How about you? 🍧 ♥️

[crimson fossil]

Thanks for the advice :-) But I make them with beef 😋

[compact scaffold]

Nice. What else is in it. Nuts? Cheese?

[flint oak]

Is that nuts or like, cornflakes?

[drifting tusk]

@compact scaffold @flint oak it's durian with almond, cheese and coconut slices.

[flint oak]

ooo nice

not the durian tho

[drifting tusk]

Because of its smell, right?

I surprised at first because of its strong odour, but after I ate its flesh, really love its sweet flavour inside of it. Well, I recommend you to try it when you travel to Southeast Asia region.

[flint oak]

Yu, i am from the southeast asia region xD

I always lock myself in my room whenever my family is having a durian party.

[drifting tusk]

You'll be used to its smell if you eat it frequently (of course if you don't mind about calories).

[flint oak]

Eh, still hasn't gotten used to it. What's the point of disabling your sense of smell if it's an integral part of the tasting experience?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[drifting tusk]

Well, I guess it's true.

[drowsy silo]

Sometimes I order food from my job on my off days to piss off my coworkers 💖😌

[compact scaffold]

I can’t handle fruit in a salad. Strawberries and lettuce is not a good combination for me

You're welcome to come I'm making a big batch of devilled sausages and cajun rice

[compact scaffold]

Deviled 👀

[rain glade]

can i have some? 🍽️

[stable kestrel]

My box arrived today and I feel like I’ve officially joined a cult. I’m not just settling for the small variety selection at my local Asian markets anymore…

[sly flare]

I crumbled 100g of rice crackers, dissolved 4 Spoons of Tomato paste in 300ml of water, poured it all over those crumbles, added a diced onion, a buttload of spices and mashed it all together until it became a paste which I'm going to leave in the fridge overnight and then spread it on bread for breakfast.
How does this make yall feel?

[solemn iris]

Is that.... Durian... 👁️ 👄 👁️ 💦

[stable kestrel]

Yes.

[solemn iris]

which one is your fave?
I heard the best one is Musanking 🙂

[solemn iris]

https://tenor.com/view/confused-huh-what-dog-question-mark-gif-23128484

I'm worried

[stable kestrel]

Musang king was my prior favorite and what I usually bought from the more limited variety I have locally. I haven’t tasted everything from the order yet, but the kapri is my new favorite so far. It’s a bit less sweet and has a chocolate-like bitterness that helps balance it. It also tastes very different at different temperatures as it thaws, with flavors like pine, citrus, banana, coffee, caramel, and aged rum being more or less prominent depending on how much it’s thawed.

[vast pewter]

the best one is Bene buying durian for me 👀

[solemn iris]

I'll buy 1 for you later but you need too eat the skin also, kay? 😌

[thorn belfry]

I have a deep hatred for durian

[drifting tusk]

Well, despite its strong smell, durian flesh is really tasty inside. You guys should try it, it's worthy...

[worn mica]

Durian = thor's hammer, got it

[thorn belfry]

I’ve tried it twice, did not enjoy either experience

[worn mica]

I've only seen em closed

You don't find many in the Netherlands

[rain glade]

i think i've had them

and that i didnt like them

[rain glade]

i want that food 😋

[fading hazel]

tapau asam laksa hehe😋

[compact scaffold]

👀 why is it sour?

The asam laksa broth is uniquely sour because of two ingredients - 'asam gelugor' and tamarind paste.

I have no idea what that is but I want to try it.

[worn mica]

I had a pizza where they used marinated jackfruit to replace more textured foods like meat on a pizza

Interesting

It did have bbq sauce, which is quite rich as a flavour

[rain glade]

i dont know what it is, but i want to eat it 😛

[stray fern]

I got to try chocolate coronet

[crimson fossil]

Bestest breakfast :D

[compact scaffold]

[flint oak]

Chonk bred.

[rain glade]

i want to eat it 😛

it looks great

[worn mica]

I tried a taiyaki I got in a mystery box

It's interestingly foamy

[stray fern]

Ah yeah its aerated chocolate inside usually

[worn mica]

Is it chocolate?huh I had a strawberry flavoured one

[stable kestrel]

They use strawberry-flavored aerated white chocolate for those.

[worn mica]

That does make sense

I found this gif with the iron, very enlightening
