Barbecue and Lean. Although it's hard to get real Lean these days because it costs so much.

prison food like corn bread, fruit cups, and honey buns

Hey cu/ck/s
Do you like balut
I have not heard of it till recently and it is the weirdest thing I have seen
No. leave the poor little baby birds alone!
>>8441239
Have you tried it though?
And btw, it's a fucking fetus, dude. It feels less pain than an adult bird when you kill it
Every person I know that has tried it says it's delicious. I'd definitely try it if I had the chance.
Why do they kill all the male baby chicks, /ck/? Why can't they be raised for food? It seems like a huge waste of food killing so many male chicks and grinding them into goo.
They are being used for food. Just not the food you eat.
>>8440466
>Why can't they be raised for food?
Wrong breed. Would give too little meat to be price competitive with the meat breeds. And cocks fight each other.
Is this some MRA bullshit?
Are there any restaurants where you just feel... safe?
I mean, like, you know the food will be at least acceptable, and you know the right kind of people are going there, so you feel comfy and taken care of.
Panera, Au Bon Pain, and Hot Table (a regional panini shop here) fall into that category for me. They're safe, and the customers feel safe.
>>8438661
No. It's a buncha fuckin animals out there
>>8438661
There are restaurants where... you don't feel safe?
>>8438661
According your definition OP, that would be any restaurant except maybe a fast food chain or other obvious shithole like a Golden Corral.
Last thread drowned cause you faggots don't cook anything ever apparently. Anyway.
Fried potatoes and eggs with a semi-caramelized onion. Greasy and unforgettable!
>>8426358
Haha amazing!
Why would I cook anything when I can go to McDonalds and get a McChicken?

I hate cooking but if I stop cooking the entire family loses a bit of a legacy of my mom. Just like my mom, I can cook just about anything and everyone’s telling me it’s the best. Some of my distant relatives already asked me to come over and cook something for them. I don’t want to. I hate cooking. I also don’t want them to lose a piece of memory left of my mom either.
WTF am I supposed to do now?
>>8445846
If you still hate it, teach someone else in the family to do it, the way your mom taught you.
I wanted to make a chicken stock to try and make some sweet udon soup. However, a lot of methods I've come across suggest placing an entire raw chicken in with the water and veg, then removing the chicken's meat to use for another recipe. However, that seems kind of gross - I don't anticipate boiled chicken would taste good at all.
Should I just use two or three carcasses and save all the bones or should I use an entire chicken?
>>8445693
Kudos for making your own asian style stock and keeping it really traditional.
Good chicken stock though does need some meat, but yes, the meat gets spent, tough, overcooked for consuming, though you can anyway use it anyway, just know it's not awesome texture. I'd at least section your whole bird to expose some marrow, and maybe carve off the white meat breasts and set them aside for now. There's no good reason to leave the chicken whole though.
There is bone broth, roasted broth...a few methods to make stock.
>>8445693
>However, that seems kind of gross - I don't anticipate boiled chicken would taste good at all.
I make this recipe whenever i'm sick: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/tyler-florence/chicken-noodle-soup-recipe0.html. The distinction between simmering and boiling chicken is a pretty big one. The chicken itself has the flavor of the aromatics in it and while a little bland without salt, is by no means poor tasting.
>>8445693
The bones definitely bring the most flavor. I usually use a mix of about 60% backs/necks, 30% wings, and 10% feet for stock. If you want mild, clean flavored stock, just put them in raw, cover with cold water, bring it just up to a simmer, then dump off the water and rinse the bones. Add mirepoix, cover again with cold water, and simmer 3 or 4 hours. If you want rich, robust tasting stock, roadt yhe bones until nicely browned, and dump them in your pot, then do the same with your mirepoix, tossing tgem in the rendered chicken fat to coat first. Roasting means you don't really need to blanch the bones so once everything's roasted you can just cover with cold water and simmer.
I tend to make quite large batches of stock and freeze it for use in multiple dishes, so i don't add herbs or anything to it at this stage but rather infise the stock before use in a dish with aromatics that make sense for the dish. If you're just making it for one particular thing though, I'd throw some suitable aromatics in there as well while it's simmering.
Same guy from yesterday that can't cook that posted that sriracha mayo monstrosity here.
What do you think of this?
>>8445472
what's that meat and what is the orange vegetable?
Looks a lot better, I'd eat that. Looks maybe a bit dry though? (I'd add some of that sriracha, if it didn't have mayo)
veggies, white rice and meat.

Hungry Man dinners are overrated. They just have appealing packaging and a good name so there is a false sense of quality associated with them. It's the same garbage found in any other TV dinner
>>8445367
Profitability for low quality food that only idiots buy.
Bravo Hungry Man.
>>8445377
The turkey dinner one cooked in the oven is decent. That's about it though...

Are secret fast food menu items a meme? It seem like it would be ridiculous the newly hired tyrone at McDonalds for a monster mac or mcgangbang. Like those niggers would just stare at you blankly and you'd look like an idiot if you asked. What's the consensus?

Why do you insist on making terrible threads about fast food?
>>8445248
they aren't, I've asked for multiple mcgangbangs at many mcdonalds
>tfw I have an overly sensitive stomach, thereby some of the foods I eat don't sit well with me at all
Is this common with other people? Which foods should I eat to avoid this? Should I go to a doctor or something? Note that I'm relatively healthy, exercise regularly, and at least three liters of drink water everyday.
>>8445232
depends on your triggers. Avoid high acid foods, and too much starch. You may want to go to a doctor. Try 2 weeks of Omeprazole first to see if it clears up.
>>8445232
I hope those three liters of water aren't tap water
>>8445232
You shouldn't get your medical advice from a Laotian shadow puppet board.
What are some techniques for cooking chicken well?
I find it that it's easy to make chicken too dry and ruin the texture.
use a thermometer
take it off the heat at 160 and let it rest
or cook dark meat
Brine it before you cook it.
>>8445106
Is there a way to use a meat thermometer when you're cooking the meat on a pan?
