Growing up, my family always had vegatable oil in and margarine as our main fats.
Shits gross.
As an adult my main fats have been lard and butter. But i recently started looking into healthier options. I ended getting a bottle of 80% sunflower oil and 20% avacato oil for a pretty decent price. I have only used it twice so far but i like it.
So i think im covered as far as high smoke point oil (ill prolly spring for the pure avacado oil when i can) but i need a new flavor oil to replace butter. I dont like the taste of olive oil. Any recomendations?
Also fat/oil general.
>>9116988
Just get straight-up lard.
>>9116988
The fats in whole plant foods. Nuts, seeds, etc.
>>9116988
I like using coconut oil in my white rice. Their both nicely fragrant in a way that compliments one another.
Which sauce would you use?
>>9116905
All of them simultaneously.
>>9116943
that would be gross.
Do it OP
>>9116905
ranch, how is that even a question
>I want my pre pizza experience to be pizza so I'll use pizza sauce and cheese it up
>Chicago style """pizza"""
I'd rather have that than the grease-coated cardboard that New Yorkers swear by.
>>9116881
That stupid shit you call Chicago pizza is nothing but a damn heart attack pie.
New York pizza is americas only "pizza" you fucking idiot
>>9116874
Never tried it but I like the NY style. Chicago style sounds rich and buttery and all that cheese calls out to me. However, the sauce would be utmost importance. If it was a thick sauce like crap pizza from commercial joints - it would be repulsive.
I really do think a sticky of /ck/ approved guidelines to intro cooking would help this board immensely. So people can stop asking the basics like "what can I do with eggs?" And shit.
Everyone thinks that.
>>9116582
well its good you don't decide anything important in real life
Yeah, because this board is just SO active that it definitely needs someone to put a stop to the never ending stream of newbie threads pouring in, I mean this has got to be one of the most active boards on the site, we can't have pushing the countless golden threads off this board every second with there egg threads
I mean it's not like this is one of those boards where a thread can stay up for like an entire week before falling off the board, this is /ck/, we're a fast paced board
How can you distinguish pure honey from honey-syrup blends marketed as "honey"?
by opening your eyes and reading the label
>>9116576
You can't 100%, and it doesn't matter, because all extracted sugars are almost equally detrimental. Buy whole plant ingredients and you can't get tricked as much. Dates are better than honey. Not good for putting in tea, but you shouldn't be sweetening tea. Good tea doesn't need it and it's bad for your teeth to sugar rinse them all day.
I just started buying honey from some friends I know who have an apiary on their farm.
This is some Chicken Thigh in Creamy Tomato Sauce and Smoked Applewood Cheese...
Sorry for potato quality camera..
Ingredients:
8 Chicken Thigh
8 oz Mushrooms
3 oz Spinach
1 Orange Bell Pepper
1 Onion
3 oz Applewood Smoked Cheese
9 oz Tomato Sauce
6 oz Cream
8 oz Chicken Broth
1 tb minced Garlic
1/2 tsp Rosemary
1/2 tsp Thyme
1.0 tsp Oregano
1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
4 tb Butter
Note: This is the recipe for the pictures below. It came out a little too rich and fat. Next time I make this; I will only use 1.5 oz of Cheese, 2 tb of Butter, and will double the amount of spinach and bell pepper
Salt and Pepper each side of chicken thigh and saute in 2 Tb of Butter on med/med-high for 3-5 minute per side, starting with skin down. Remove chicken from pan
Add Onion, Mushroom, Spinach, Bell Pepper, Garlic, and seasonings to pan. Saute for 10 min on med-high.
Onion and garlic should technically go first, then bell pepper, but I was feeling lazy
Add more butter if necessary
I added too much, as well as too much cheese later so it made the sauce very rich and fatty. Still good, but will cut back next time
What do you think of this pizza, /ck/?
Looks like standard flyover shit.
I'd eat it, but I wouldn't be happy about it.
>>9115847
A Lenten classic.
>>9115852
What if I told you that it came from a hospital cafeteria in a major northeastern city?
Redpill me on people who drink carbonated water
One theory is that they seem to like carbonated water but more research is needed.
I like fruity carbonated water with no sweeteners or anything. Good way to cut back on soda desu. Feels really refreshing in a way water doesn't.
>>9115695
ice in
squeeze full lime on ice
carbonated water in
thank me later.
Going to WingStop,
what do I get?
Also, WingStop stories
>>9115679
>1000 wings for $500
>>9115679
Wtf with that portion and price, no wonder Americans get so fat
lousiana rub, fries extra seasoning
Fried eel is the best tasting sushi.
Prove me wrong.
>>9114906
I tried it and found that its taste was too strong, but I don't like the strong smell of fish in general, I can't eat boiled shrimp or fish soups because of the strong smell.
Why do people like their fish to stink like raw industrial sewage, btw?
>>9114906
I too have patrician taste.
Thst eel isnt fried
What does /ck/ think of ZUKES, aka "courgettes"? I notice a lot of people seem to dislike them because they are watery and have a weak taste on their own, but are there ways to correct this?
I like zucchini it has a nice flavor and I haven't really found them to be too watery.
>>9114522
I thought of this qt fucking that zuke makes my zuke tingly
just cut them in rings and fry them. No need to batter even. Add freshly squeezed garlic. Or also tomato slice and good mayo, eat hot or cold, both good. Small ones definitely have more water in them. Well water means stew so you could just dice and stew it with cabbage and potatoes, add fried vegetables like tomato, carrot, onions, bell peppers as the taste base. Even fried, it's light-hearted summer seasonal food.

So I just ate this at a "Japanese" restaurant.
2 questions
What is the dark red/white thing on the left side and what is the thing with tentacles? After I ate, I asked for a single serving of squid and octopus and found out that tentacle thing aren't those.
Also why is every Japanese restaurant in Edmonton owned by Chinese people? Every single fucking person there was Chinese.
>>9114216
>red/white thing
Clam.
Nothing in that picture has tentacles.
>>9114225
Brown thing on the right side
>>9114216
Are you actually sitting at the table waiting for an answer from us or are you going to ask an employee
Should we ban GMO and create green space for local organic farming?
No.
>>9112210
We should've banned your mother from having children but it's too late now
>>9112210
Both has its place, so no.
However, I'd love to see some 'promises' by the GMO industry fulfilled like plants that grow in the desert and help fixing the hunger problem in Africa.
Currently it seems the plan is to make farmers highly dependent from either their seeds or their pesticides.
Thoughts on haggis?
The original food gore
>>9111598
Had it in Scotland. Pretty delicious. As an burger from the East Coast it's no weirder than scrapple or goetta.
>>9111957
I don't understand why the FDA won' t let us import haggis when we eat shit like liver mush and scrapple in thr South. They're pretty much equally gross.
