Hey /ck/
My roommate swears up and down that this bread is the absolute best for Italian sandwiches, but I can taste zero difference between it and average dirt-cheap wonderbread shit. I'm fine enough eating my sandwiches on it, but his hype seems pretty misplaced.
Am I just unable to taste some nuance of flavor that other people get, or is he having a placebo effect over it saying "Italian" on it.
>>9327051
Its probably just wonderbread with a tiny spritz of EVOO on each slice, that tends to be aroma that makes people say "hey thats italian bread!"
Whole foods has excellent italian bread boules, but they can do nothing you cant do yourself with some practice.
>>9327051
if it says italian on the packaging then it means it italian anon
If you're not buying it who gives a shit.

What is /ck/'s favorite frosting? Any good recipes/combinations? Best store bought frosting?
My family's recipe uses shortening/butter and egg whites, I don't know it but this looks pretty close:

I like to mix coconut cream or peanut butter with chocolate and powdered sugar melted together, and 1-2 tsp of vanilla extract and call it a day. I don't keep an exact recipe as I'm always adjusting the consistency for spread-ability and kitchen humidity.
According to SE, you should be buying organic powdered sugar for non-cooked frostings because the cornstarch used as an anti-caking agent in conventional powdered sugar doesn't truly dissolve into the suspension of fats and flavorings at room temperature where the tapioca powder in organic varieties which results in a smoother textured icing:

Hey /ck/, where can I go to teach myself the basic concepts and techniques of cooking. The stuff that applies for literally anything you might end up making, not just one specific recipe/culture. I wanna get to a point where I can just improvise without a recipe, but I'll need a strong foundation in the basics for that. Any books or videos you'd recommend?
>>9326671
Good Eats and pic related.

How's my roast /ck/
Your taters and carrots look dry and unseasoned.
Meat looks ok and comfy.
Why add vegetables if they're just going to lay awkwardly on the grill like that instead of absorbing the gravy? I bet they're dry too.
>>9369948
Did you not add water?
Is streetfood the most overrated cuisine?
>overrated
>not underrated
It's literally GOAT.

Disgusting laowei.
How do I cook rice in a normal pot without having a shitload stick to the bottom and be a giant pain in the ass?
Also, is it possible to steam stuff without one of those metal collander things?
>>9369616
just buy a $10 rice cooker
>>9369616
>without having a shitload stick to the bottom
But that's the best part
>>9369616
Wash your rice a few times beforehand

Rice and beans are delicious and nutritious!

ANYONE who puts milk in their hot tea is disgusting.
This was NOT how tea was meant to be drunk.
Try to stop me fag
>>9369246
I didn't know milk in tea was a thing until a couple years ago when I saw my sister do it. It makes no sense to me. Tea is just flavored water do you really need milk and sugar in that too?
>>9369246
What about chai masala? The tea that specifically is meant to be drunk with milk
Has anyone ever cooked spaghetti put sauce on it, then cooked it in a pan? I didn't know if that was a thing, or if it just sucks? Maybe make a pan cooked spaghetti sandwhich? Whats that even called??
>>9369037
>Has anyone ever cooked spaghetti put sauce on it, then cooked it in a pan?
Sure. That's how you are supposed to do it. You boil the pasta until it is not quite done, then you finish cooking it in the sauce.
Pasta in a sandwich is certainly a thing. My elementary school cafeteria served that shit back in the 80's. It's also a thing in Japan.
>>9369037
Yes to both. Google "spaghetti sandwich" there are tons of examples and most look really good.
>dude i'm gonna put 500g of carbs on 500g of bread
Anyone here made noodles with a meat grinder yet?
>>9368996

>>9369152

I can't imagine that working too well.
Never eating these again. I'm shitting out pure pain right now.
It ain't easy being cheesy
Flamin Hot Cheetos are overrated af, and for niggers.
Join the jalapeno master race.
>>9369614
These are good too. But they don't have the same heat and bite. Like OP I succumb to this golly every other month or so. Every time I cannot prevent myself from eating at least 1/3rd of the bag and it always has the same fiery repercussions. And I always say never again.
Has anyone here ever been on an all diy soylent deit long term? if so how did it work out for you?

I've seen commercials for this stuff and I'd be lying if I said it didn't creep me out at first. Someone's gonna have to be the first person to live solely off these things.

What is the truth of raw cookie dough? Either home made or store bought.
It's fine as long as you're not a pathetic numale with AIDS
It's slightly risky, and you could die horribly, but it would still be worth it.
