I bought some oysters, tried one and it wasn't as good as I hoped, it was the texture and the strong taste that got me. I didn't have anything with it and chewed it but I've always seen people in movies give it a bit of lemon or tobasco and shoot it straight down the gullet. Was I doing it wrong and should I try the movie way? I want to enjoy them and they were pretty damn expensive.
did you buy them preshucked in a plastic tub and ate them with a disposable fork?
try going to a decent oyster house a few times before diy

This is my first time cooking from scratch. Could you guys critique it?
It's Pizza Rolls w/ a ketchup sauce and alfredo drizzle sprinkled with dill
>>8747433
Composition
3/10, ranch dressing is a good pairing but cheap marinara would have been better than ketchup. You overcooked your pizza rolls and caused them to burst open. What kind are they, actually?
Presentation
6/10, plated in such a way that actually makes it look quite appetizing. Your ketchup is separated however, so you clearly didn't give it a good shake up before plating. You were also overzealous with the dill. Less is more.
Pretty good... I'd try for a more consistent drizzle with the ketchup, though

Thanks for your advice. I used Totinos Pizza Rolls.
I may do another batch in a little while using your suggestions and post an update :)

Meat production is a leading cause of climate change, water waste, and deforestation. Why is everyone overlooking this again?
1. Meat production wastes a ton of water.
2. It takes 2,400 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of meat.
3. Which is something like 50 full bathtubs.
4. Meanwhile, it takes 25 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of wheat.
5. Which is less than one bathtub of water.
6. Raising animals for food takes up half of all water used in the U.S.
7. You’d save more water by not eating a pound of meat than you would if you didn’t shower for six months. So keep showering (please), but stop eating meat. Mmmkay?
8. The Environmental Protection Agency says that animal agriculture is the number one cause of water pollution.
9. And it’s responsible for more water pollution than all other industrial sources combined.
10. Mostly because of the massive amounts of animal poop spilling into our waterways.
11. In West Virginia and Maryland, male fish are growing ovaries, and scientists suspect that this is the result of factory-farm runoff from drug-laden chicken feces.
12. Raising animals for food also tears down a whole bunch of rain forest.
13. Specifically, 55 square feet of rain forest for every single meal with meat.
14. Every six seconds, an acre of rain forest is cut down for cattle farming.
15. That’s around 14,400 acres every day.
16. About seven football fields of land are bulldozed worldwide every minute to create more room for farmed animals.
17. In 2004–05, 2.9 million acres of the Amazon rain forest in Brazil were destroyed in order to grow crops to feed animals on factory farms.
18. And more than 90 percent of the Amazon rain forest that’s been cleared since 1970 is used for meat production.
19. If we actually ate the foods we feed to farmed animals, we wouldn’t need to grow nearly as many crops, and we could eliminate the need to decimate the rain forest.
20. It’s a problem in the U.S., too.
21. About 260 million acres of U.S. forests have been cleared in order to create cropland to produce feed for animals raised for food.
22. Livestock grazing is the number one reason that plant species in the U.S. go extinct.
23. The meat industry is directly responsible for 85 percent of all soil erosion in the U.S.
24. And then of course, there are those pesky greenhouse gasses.
25. … like how cow burps and farts make up 20 percent of U.S. methane-gas emissions.
26. And then there’s the fact that 51 percent or more of global greenhouse-gas emissions are caused by animal agriculture.
27. In fact, a 2008 study concluded that a meat-eater’s diet is responsible for more than seven times as much greenhouse-gas emissions as a vegan’s diet is.
28. A vegan is responsible for the release of approximately 1.5 fewer tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year than is a meat-eater.
29. It takes more than 11 times as much fossil fuel to make one calorie from animal protein as it does to make one calorie from plant protein.
30. Of all raw materials and fossil fuels used in the U.S., more than one-third are devoted to raising animals for food.
31. Animal agriculture is a leading source of carbon-dioxide, nitrous-oxide, and methane emissions, the top three greenhouse gasses.
32. If every American skipped one meal of chicken per week and ate vegan food instead, it would be like taking 500,000 cars off the road.
33. And the University of Chicago found that going vegan is more effective in fighting climate change than switching from a standard car to a hybrid.
34. The National Audubon Society, the Worldwatch Institute, the Sierra Club, the Union of Concerned Scientists, and even Al Gore’s Live Earth say that raising animals for food damages the environment more than just about anything else that we do.
35. And the United Nations says that a global shift toward a vegan diet is necessary to combat the worst effects of climate change.
So what are you waiting for—the polar ice caps to melt? Save the planet. Try vegan.

Alright, why do I care, global warming will be fine for western industrialized nations, there will likely be some loss of productivity but nothing drastic. Developing world will get fucked but my desire for steak trumps that.
What's the proper way to eat live grubs and other such insects?
Do you remove the head, then pop in the body and quickly chew it up to minimize movement?
Or are you supposed to leave the head on and eat it whole?
doesnt matter which end goes in first, they wont bite most of the time
>>8738641
Eat it whole.

Fish and stuff. What do you eat?

Gifts?
I get socks sometimes and I actually rejoice because socks are pretty fucking awesome.
Dumbledore was pretty much right about them.
Hey /CK/ I got a friend who works hard to support his family, a family who is sadly garbage at managing money. I know this topic comes up a lot but can I get a master list of cheap Staples and/or ingredients that can be used to make nutritious food on the cheap? Cause right now they're eating a lot of ramen.
>>8749363
... c'mon
really?
Dried rice & dries beans are dirt cheap, versatile and healthy.
>>8749369
What?
His family is shit at managing money. It's his mom and his sister.
I'm prepping for a dinner party I'm having on Friday. I also started drinking which made me bored figured I'd post on here so you guys would I'm doing
I just finished my white bean puree. And it's confit onions and garlic with chicken stock and hot sauce for a little kick
Alright have finished putting the puree and squirt container. I'm planning on bring it back up to temperature just using a water bath on Friday. I admit I added a little too much salt so I'm going to change it from being used as a bed to place other items to more of a condiment drizzle or use for soft lines
My polenta is almost done. It was just 2 cups water, quarter cup cream ,1 cup milk, A couple knobs of butter. Then I mixed in 3/4 of a cup of polenta and 1/4 of a cup of fine cornmeal. The cornmeal really helps to ensure that it sets up in the fridge for you fry it off later
What do you guys feed your dog?
>>8749036
blue buffalo. any flavor but fish, his breath is already stinky enough without it
I feel like this should be on /an/
But I feed my dog a raw diet and supplement with dog food when hunting/the butchery is lean
Xylitol.
Well my neighbours dogs anyway
Crunchy > Smooth
>>8748829
smoothfags are manchildren
same idiots who like chunky tomato sauce out of a jar
>>8748830
When I eat PB+Js I am unashamedly a manchild. Smooth me out
How fucking good are Big Macs? That special sauce is really something special
>inb4 some "witty" anon makes a hilarious joke about the special sauce containing semen
>>8748698
I like to eat one almost everyday. The meat and sauce and truly to die for, and the bun has a nice sweetness to it.
>>8748698
Threads like these always make me think about whether or not there actually are paid McDonald's shills posting on this board or if it's entirely memes and troll posts like this one.
How do you make iced coffee?
Put coffe
put ice
>>8748652
dont you need to "cold brew" the coffee though
wtf is that
>>8748652
My hotel brews coffee and puts it in a caraffe and puts it in the walk in over night but yeah
Iced coffee is literally day old coffee
>>8748667
No cold brew is a seperate item. Cold brewed coffee is basically coffee treated like tea, it's steeped in cold water for 24 hrs then filtered. My hotel uses a toddy so we don't have to filter out the coffee granules.
