So I am about to marinade these steaks tonight and I noticed that there are two spots on the fat part on the right side that have a tint of blue. Are these bad? Can I still eat these?
i don't see it
are you sure it's not ink from the inspection stamp?
>>8527583
Yes, spots like those are perfectly natural and harmless.
I'd rely more on if it smells off or is slimy. That blue part looks like a thin layer of fat stretched over the meat.
How did stuff like this come to represent America? How and why has it become an accurate way of characterizing us?
Fucking white ppl
Judging from the food you see posted here, Instagram, Facebook, or any other site where people post shit nobody asked for, it's pretty accurate.

Is it really so hard to imagine why?
I felt fatherly love for the first time and im on virge of tears. Me and my dad separated for 10 year cause my mom ran off to another country taking me with her (to canada) . My dad just came here and this is the first time someone has bought all this for me. Easy to make frozen food or snacks. I just want to share this beautiful moment i felt for the first time in my life with you guys.
Look at all that senbei
He actually used his time to spend 2 hours on the road to deliver me my fav snacks and foods. He nevers says he love me but he showed me it... My mom after i went to uni just left me be and said she loved me.... Guys... This is intelligent love. Love intelligently!
Its never been this good before.
Is there anyway to skip over the prep-cooking process? I'm just a dishwasher but I notice it wastes a lot of time in the kitchen I work at.
>>8527080
>prepping
>wasting time
Kill yourself
No, you goddamn moron
yeah,
/v/irgin here. I recently got possession of an ungodly amount of honey, but I only use a spoon a day on my cereal, so all the honey's just there.
I already gave some honey to people, but when I try to give them more they say they still have a lot from last time, and I ain't selling it or dumping it.
So I come here for help. Tell me about some recipes I can do to chip away this golden sweet waterfall. Keep in mind I know little to nothing about making food, and I'm a wageslave with little time and tight budget. But I have a stove and a microwave oven. Those are needed to make food, right?
It doesn't go bad so why are you in a rush to get rid of it
>>8526581
How fucking fat are you? Just snort it and douse your keyboard with it, you fucking goldfish.

This is my "Polish plate". I make it once every Thursday.
Do you have any signature things that you like to cook up periodically? Homemade pizza night? Taco Tuesday?
pot roast
Tikka Masala.
I never liked ethnic food when I was younger, but I find that at least four times a months I cook both this and a spicy lentil soup.
>>8526274
Pizza night once a week, the only regular dish.

How do you break an egg?
My personal favorite
>>8525766
By calling it mean and negative things daily.
>considers himself a good cook
>doesn't have a set of cooking chopsticks
why aren't you using the most versatile kitchen tool ever invented?
Because tongs exist
>>8525699
>most versatile kitchen tool
>not the slap chop
I legit want a pair of steel chopsticks about 14-16 inches long like I see in those street food cooking videos.
I feel they'd be like tongs but with a finer and more intuitive movement.
When is it too late to still keep the dream of becoming a great chef, /ck/?
Im almost 25 and i think the ship has sailed for me
>>8525432
What, are you gonna die when you're 30?
>>8525449
A man can dream...
Nothing personal op, I want everyone to die.
>>8525432
You're never going to get a star or anything I'm sure but you can definitely make a name for yourself locally if you're willing to dedicate time and money into opening a place up.
You ever work in a restaurant?
What are the tastiest freshwater fishes other than salmon/trout, /ck/? And what are some good recipes for them?

>>8525370

Tell me some of the sandwiches you like to make /ck/ I work at a grilled sandwich shop (Dangelo) and make all sorts of neat shit.
I love cold sandwiches too though here are some of my favorites.
Pictured is a sandwich I actually made at home. I love using sesame seed kaiser rolls from Stop and Shop/Giant. Included in this sandwich is Boars Head Premium Roast Beef, Kosher Salt, Freshly Ground Pepper, a good mix of raw red and white onions sliced thinly. Then I top it off with some iceberg lettuce. Both sides of the rolls are zig zagged with spicy brown mustard. To me this is the best condiment that goes with Roast beef.
I'm very biased towards Boars Head because I used to work in a stop and shop deli, and honestly I've tried so many other different brands and nothing comes close. Any other great deli meat brand recommendations are welcome!
Another simple sandwich:
The Turkey Bacon 1000
Bread: Kaiser Roll or Tomato Basil Bread
Meat: Boars Head Honey Maple Turkey, Smoked Bacon
Sauce: Thousand Island Dressing on both sides.
Sometimes i'll like to throw some onions in on top, but overall I prefer the more simple options.
Later i'll mention some grilled sandwiches I like to make at work.
>>8525286
>Focaccia bread
>Pesto
>Grilled chicken
>Roasted red peppers
>Mozzarella
>Classic croque monsieur (so simple but so fucking good).
>Tuna salad with kalamata olives on baguette, sliced boiled eggs, pickles.

Right, well currently due to having had an ileostomy surgery I'm having to stick to white bread, but as far as fillings go:
3 cheese (Manchego, Old Amsterdam/Goats Gouda, Parmigiano Reggiano, all shaved on rather than grated) Egg (Scrambled, boiled and chopped or fried obviously) Salad (Anything you like, I last made it with a storebought pack of spinach, rocket and watercress), with just a drop of Balsamic Reduction or any other salad dressing you prefer, just make sure the cheeses aren't overpowered
Ham, Egg and Mustard: Either spread the mustard on the bread if you're doing boiled and chopped or fried egg, but if making scrambled I'd say it's well worth mixing the mustard into the egg before putting it into the pan and scrambling it. I personally have a preferrence for good old Dijon mustard but obviously you shoul use whichever you prefer, be it american yellow, french, english, whatever you like
Peanut Butter, Chocolate spread/, Chilli: As both peanuts and chocolate combine relatively well with spice at the very least, this is a rather nice "dessert sandwich" combination with just a bit of a kick depending on what you use to spice it up. I have to use smooth peanut butter according to my doc, but you would ideally be using the crunchy type. And chocolate spread is good, especially dark chocolate spread if you can get some, and of course chocolate/hazelnut since it's the addition of more nuts to the mix. As for the spice, you could use absolutely anything, but my personal recommendations would be cayenne, red pepper, tabasco if you like it, any pepper you like with both nuts and chocolate
Peanut Butter/Jam (Jelly)/Chilli: Same principle as the above, as I've found that certain hot sauces/spices combine really well with some of the sweeter jams, giving an old favourite in the USA a bit of a kick. Same rules as above really
More on the way as I remember them, I'd also love some ideas on improvements, other recipes, etc;
>>8525854
Chicken/Honey/Mustard OR Barbeque OR Barbeque with mustard seeds: May well be worth mixing the honey and mustard/barbeque together if you prefer, but I've always been fond of having a different spread on each slice. Do your chicken just how you like it, I'm sure breaded and fried would be ideal but as I'm lazy and don't have a deep frier I tend to season my chicken then fry it in a pan or grill it, both unbreaded. It's like eating pure good boy points
Classic Salmon and Cream Cheese: No explanation needed, if you haven't had it yet and you have any love for smoked food/fish, get this done as soon as possible, ideally in a bagel or oatmeal bread
Prawn Cocktail BUT using a large sugar doughnut/jam doughnut in place of the bagel/bread: At a surprise party for a relative I saw some mini doughnuts next to some prawn cocktail, decided that I would do that, I thought it tasted pretty okay
Steak/Blue Cheese and/or your preferred sauce/Peppery Salad and/or Mushrooms: I like a bit of sauce to go with my steaks, both so I can salvage a completely fucked steak and so I can dip my chips/smother my rice in the stuff depending on the side (Do not knock rice as a side if you can get a cheap sauce with your order). I tend to prefer welsh rarebit, dianne, or of course blue cheese as that sauce. Now of course with a steak, the ideal salad to go in a sandwich with it is going to be something a touch peppery if you like your leafy greens. Having said that, mushrooms are of course a wonderful edition, although due to the fact that their ideal preperation for this will likely be somewhat moist, I recommend much thicker bread and/or toasting the bread. Cook the steak how you like it, season it how you like it, I recommend cutting it how you would for those cheesesteak things but it's your sandwich.
More to come
