Over the weekend I bought a massive haul of fruit and vegetables (pic related cost me just $14 USD). Thought I'd be clever and make a massive vegetable stew. I usually throw some meat or bacon bones in the mix, but this week I didn't feel like going shopping. The concoction turned out edible but disappointingly bitter, and I have no idea why. It tastes like rocks and cough medicine.
Here's what I used:
>1/2 can tomatoes
>2 carrots
>1/2 cup cauliflower
>1.5 onions
>1 leek
>2 sticks celery
>3 mushrooms
>5 green beans, chopped
>salt and pepper
>2 sprigs each of rosemary and thyme
>cumin powder
>cayenne pepper
>curry powder
After I tasted it and realised how bitter it was, I added several spoons of sugar, more salt, and two chicken stock cubes. This didn't help at all. I'm not a fussy person when it comes to bitter taste, but this was overwhelming all the other flavours. It's a complete mystery to me where the taste came from.
Anyway, I haven't given up on making stews and I'm willing to try again next week. If you have any soup/stew recipes, post em here.
I also bake my own bread while the slow cooker is going, it makes an excellent accompaniment to my stews.

Those are Death's Head mushrooms anon. It's been nice knowing you.

Maybe you should've looked up an actual recipe and followed it instead of just throwing all that stuff together like an autist.
Taco Bell is a fast food place that many will scoff at, but for a second do consider the ingenuity of Mexican ingredients they have...this for example, the Taco Bell Mexican Pizza? This is pure culinary genius wouldn't you say? It stands up with the Crunchwrap Supreme and Cheesey Gordita Crunch as a pure milestone in the history of food
I'm glad you're trying something new and not just relying on mcchicken, but if you really want to shit post you need to make at least 6 more threads with this pasta in the next half hour

The allure of TB is a lot of novelty and variety for cheap. The downside is that like McD's it's all made from the crappiest cheap highly processed ingredients, so it doesn't taste like any real food, it just tastes like Taco Bell, the same way McDonald's just tastes like McDonald's. Taco Bell is even weirder though, because most of their food isn't a fast food take on dishes that already existed, it's shit they made up. Which might be culinary genius if they did it with quality ingredients, but ends up being crap because of the crap ingredients they use. But of course that's what makes it so cheap.
I'll take the bait...
TB has been dropping down my ranks for years now. The last thing I really liked from them, the naked chicken chalupa, was a test item that was only around for a few weeks. Their overall trend of pretty much loading everything with nacho cheese sauce instead of shredded cheese also sucks and basically killed the quesarito for me.
Would you eat my pizza ck?
probably not so bad, anon. I'd give it a chew.

I'd try a slice just to be polite.
I was in Cincinnati and I went to this place called Butterbee's, and let me tell you, they had some great chicken tendies. Two thumbs up from me.

i think waffle fries are stupid
>>9388814
Waffle fries are not intelligent, thus they can not be "stupid.".
>>9388817
Well obviously they can't be intelligent and stupid, an oxymoron.
What do you presume to be the most satisfactory combination of pizza toppings, for you?
For me, I think I like pepperoni, sausage, and green olives....does that sound good?
>>9388755
Mcchickens
>>9388761
Sir, that is the Buffalo McChicken
>>9388755
I don't think I've ever seen green olives on a pizza.
I like greek style pizzas. Feta, spinach, kalamata, red onions, all that stuff.
Do you cook for your pets?
Nope. I just feed my dog kibble every single day and sometimes scraps leftover from dinner. I barely find time to cook by myself let alone my dog.
No, I give my parrot seeds while maintaining eye contact with it because it terrifies me.
This is also how I feed my tarantula, only its crickets and I toss them in and close the lid real fast because the spider that moves at 2 mph might leap out of the enclosure.
I had broiled pork chops for my cat when just got a pet, but then switched to dry fodder.- its healthier

I tried some Sinigang yesterday courtesy of my friend, it was pretty great. She recommended that we should have beer with sisig and says there's other Filipino foods better than Sinigang.
What flip foods have /ck/ tried?
>>9388609
Only the foods that the Flip cooks in the Navy made, I'm not sure if it was actual Filipino food or just random shit they threw together. It was usually chunks of some meat and fish with rice and a fruit like mango, I think.
>>9388631
Huh... The only Filipino dish I can think of with mango and meat is this. But it's pretty uncommon for the common flipman to make.
try:
kare-kare
bicol express
kaldereta
bopis
Is this the proper way to cook a ribeye steak?
>olive oil in pan, covers the bottom
>wait till oil is hot
>season the steak on one side with greek seasoning, salt, and pepper
>place that side you seasoned onto the skillet
>wait two minutes
>when the two is nearly up, season the other side the same way and flip it
>let cook for two minutes, near the end, put a small sliver of butter on top and lather it over
>take the entire pan, put it in an oven that has been preheated to 450 degrees
>leave it inside for four minutes
>take out, cool down, and eat
I've tried it before, and when done right, it ends up being a really fuckin good steak. Very tender, very flavorful. Is this how it's done, or is there a better way? Thoughts?
I'd always be careful and use lard or some kind of neutral oil, as olive oil can burn pretty easily and it makes the steak all nasty and bitter. But you do you bro sounds like a good steak.
>>9388549
Nearly had this happen the second time. Put a little too much olive oil in and the pan was already searing hot so it began bubbling rather quick. Thankfully, I was quick, and got the steak on but it didn't turn out nearly as good as my first time.
>>9388538
> olive oil in pan
you fucked up. Why do you use olive oil for high temp frying anon?
Cheap, good ways to liven up ramen?
Anything but egg.

You want her to store it between her saggy warm tits you pervert? You're sick.

Kill her.

use some good boy points to buy you're own bread
I wanna get a slow-cooker with a timer so I can eat decently while spending minimal amount of time on cooking. Problem is timers start to appear on the 4quart and higher pots which are too large for one person according to the sources. How exactly is it bad to cook in a cooger that is too large for you? Also any advice on slow-cookers is very much appreciated.
>>9388392
Ya thought of that too but cutting the power off is not the same as the thing switching to warm mode.
>>9388370
Cook more, freeze for later.
Also, it's pretty hard to overcook food in a slow-cooker. The timer is quite optional and it's better to leave the food cooking than to leave it cold for too long..
option 3: pic related.
So first time posting on this board... maybe. I might have once before when I was drunk. First time making a thread anyway.
So I live in America and I have some French neighbors. I'm 33 and lived here for the majority of my life(no it's not my mother's basement) and they have always been great neighbors. Their family moved here during ww2 to escape the nazis. They(around 60 years old now?), along with one of their mother's(pretty sure it was the husband's) moved in next door around 30 years ago.
On to the ck part. The mother died some years ago and now the wife is dying of cancer. I know wine is the obvious choice but I don't want to be that kind of obvious and I know this isn't food but I thought this would be the best board to ask. What are some good drinks that I could have with my french neighbors that barely speak the same language as me? I want to go over and have some good strong liquor or a good strong cocktail with some french people that i can barely communicate with that will remind them of France when they were younger. I want to heartedly drink with my frenchie neighbors before the ever-so-sweet wife, who was always quick with the bonjour, passes and I want it to be something they will respect. Any suggestions?
>>9388353
>I want to get drunk with my elder neighbors with cancer
>>9388353
I know shit about wine but bring along some good cheese (not that supermarket shit) and bread to go with it, cut everything in pieces and put it in a wooden board for best outcome. Best wishes for that poor woman.
>>9388353
Also, alcohol might not be a good option 'cause of medication. It's usually incompatible.
This shit is so good.
>Calories are low as fuck.
>Can put anything on them.
What are some good crisp breads brands?
>>9388287
Wasa is Pretty Much the only big brand here in Denmark, but they have loads of variety
Here in the UK it's pretty much just ryvita for crispbread, you get 25 in a pack that costs the same as a loaf of normal bread.
Like anon said above, there's a lot of variety from plain rye to pumpkin seeds and shit.
Beep beep! Superior product coming through.
if your crispbread isn't sour, it's not worth my time.
