Why can't I eat shellfish as a jew. Fuck it. I'm digging in.
>>8417866
Hey man, I'm Catholic and I eat shellfish.
>It's really good!
Let me know if you like the taste.
That's an old ass Leviticus rule dude who gives a shit about that
Next you're going to tell me that sucking dicks will send me to hell YA RITE
Oh wait you guys don't believe in hell
>>8417866
Leviticus nigga.
stop eating bananas
>>8425637
No.
What you MEAN to say is, stop eating Cavendish bananas and start eating other varieties, otherwise the banana will go extinct.
>Americans made these stupid fruits
why do fat americans need everything to be so sweet, bananas are fucking garbage
did he just revolutionize the coffee industry?!
>>8425291
That's retarded
>>8425291
Maybe in California, while the rest of the world knows it's retarded.
Flavored syrup.
Already a thing.
For me it is crunchy, the best food texture.
Gooey reporting for duty
Pleb: crunchy
Patrician: crispy
for me it's tender, the texture of tendies

Ain't she a beautiful?
>>8424944
Looks nice, I suppose. But from looking at it I think that bolster would be very impractical for a proper grip. Then again, I haven't actually held one in my hand so that's pure speculation from looking at the pic.
>>8424944
blade too German for me but I do like the furniture quite a bit
>>8424948
Looks heavy as fuck but I'm with you, you don't know a knife until you hold it. Gotta reserve judgement until you use it to shank someone in the back for stealing your skittles.
What do you think of Vietnamese cuisine? Last week I was eating dinner over at my Vietnamese friends house and holy moly they know how to cook.
The main course was something like a thick spicy crab stew with fresh veggies and glass noodles and rice and I'm not gonna shill that was the best dinner I've had for a long time.
I thought Vietnamese food was Chinatown takeaway but according to my friend (we both live in Northern Europe btw) the lack of certain SE Asian bound veggies/ingredients made the dinner taste "less than half it would home in Vietnam)
How can we even compete?
>>8424816
Vietnamese food is gangster as fuck, but we can compete in the U.S. because for me, it's the McChicken.
>>8424816
Import some more Syrians. I hear that their food is da bomb.
>>8424825
The fuck dude you really wanna eat a drugged up tortured chicken with idk probably shitty American dressing and bread instead of glörius stir fried veggies and Crustaceas?
Jamie Oliver put cranberry sauce in his gravy.
Has anyone else tried this? What was it like? I'm scared to try it.
>>8424685
>I'm scared
Me too anon, me too
>>8424685
I've never tried doing that with canned cranberry sauce, but I've added berries and preserves to gravy many times. It's a well known thing.
...but that said, personally I prefer to serve those condiments on the side. That way if a diner wants it they're free to use it but it's not automatically pre-mixed with the gravy.
>>8424685
Fuck Jamie Oliver, he's a shitty cook compared to based Gordon...
This is the only Jamie Oliver vid worth watching:

How would you improve this Eggs Florentine, /ck/?
>>8424631
I wouldn't
>>8424631
smoked salmon
I am being pedantic here, but you did ask how I would improve it.
1. Pass the hollandaise through a sieve. you can see the lumps.
2. I would personally have the eggs separate on two small pillows of spinach. That way you get more sauce overall and it covers more of the bread.
3. The orange... Remove the seed. and re-arrange the lettuce such that the orange when cut like that can instead stand on the side.
4. The little potatos could be dished up with some kind of seasoning on them. I would personally have a seasoning of persillade.
5. The hollandaise could also use some chives or pepper.
Note: Spinach is a nice touch compared to ham or bacon and definitely adds more colour to the place.
I am considering taking up canning/home preserving due to some nostalgia from times in Newfoundland. Is this a practical hobby for those in temperate climates? If so, what do you like to preserve? Thank you!

i don't care about this

Wassup OP. I used to pickle all the time. I haven't been in the game for a minute, but I used to like pickling tomatoesa, carrots, jalapenos, bell pepper, onion, asparagus, garlic, beets. The list goes on. I say just pickle whatever is available in your area that you like.
I'm currently mentally moving towards a more sustainable and ethical model of eating. Can some of you co/ck/s help me out with my thoughts with some principled (rather than emotional or lel bacon) arguments against or for vegetarianism?
>sustainable
The demand you create is insignificant, nothing will change as a result of your diet choice.
>>8424178
Maybe nothing will change as a result of my diet choice, but there's also something to be said for doing your part, no matter how small that may be. That also doesn't address the ethical issues (of both animal rights and environmental ethics).
>>8424187
Why should I give a fuck about the well being of an animal that's literally being raised for food? Does a lion care if the zebra had a happy life? Why should we?
This thread is for manly men to discuss manly things, such as putting food on the table. Vegans need not apply. We don't care about your weird kale fascination.
>>8424163
So yeah, went to the store and got some steak without dealing with the hunting and cleaning bullshit cause I live in a modern metropolitan area in modern times. Put food on the table in a reliable and adult way.
Let me start by saying I just moved to Oregon, and am going to be getting a combined hunting/angling license, as well as shellfish. Once I fill up my chest freezer, I'd like to start selling my bounty legally. Anyone have any experience?
>>8424167
>I buy my food from the store
>this food just magically appears on shelves because of modern society
>I am an adult who thinks as such
>watch me project my insecurities
Quick
Gimme a marinade to baste on my leg of lamb, gonna cook it on the spit.
Garlic and anchovies inserted in slits in the meat. If you have it, Olive Tapanade coated on the outside with rosemary tied over it with string.
I think its Curtis Stone..

Honey, olive oil/butter, salt, black pepper, shallots, garlic, and mint.
Does anyone elses crippling autism get in the way of cooking?
>be me, 27 years old, never really eat anything but frozen foods, basic sandwiches, and cereal
>try to cook more, not necessarily to be more healthy but to try new things and be more of an adult
>every time I touch something greasy I feel like I just licked a public urinal
How do I overcome my fear of grease while cooking /ck/? Picture related, just made hamburgers that turned out pretty okay, but had to shower after to feel normal.
get your autism treated or kill you're a self
I'd say just learn to understand oils in general. They're a fundamental part of nutrition and cooking. Don't focus so much on the frying aspect. Instead, try to look into recipes that incorporate oil as an ingredient instead. I guarantee that a ton of the frozen foods you ate had vegetable oil blended throughout the filling.
>>8423878
All I can say is get over it. Oil or grease is essential to almost everything you cook anyway
Okay, here's a challenge.
Let's say someone who's definitely not me is in a shitty situation and has no real money for about a week and a half, and has to eat.
Let's say this person has a $45 credit on Amazon. They are also currently in a hotel-like living situation and only has access to a microwave.
What could this person conceivably get from the Amazon pantry to sustain them for about 10 days if they only ate one meal per day?
Ramen would be an obvious choice, but variety would be nice.
>>8423830
Sugar free gummies or jerky and slim jims
Buy shit from amazon prime now... eggs and ramen
>>8423844
Is there actually a decent way to prepare eggs in a microwave without poisoning myself?
I just baked this loaf.
What is the secret to the fluffier almost chewy consistancy of bakery bread?
The secret is going to a real bakery.
You should put your time into more useful endeavors. Study computer programming perhaps.
>>8423576
I do my bread by hand using a sponge method and try to work it as little as possible and account for that by giving it about six folds at 15 Minute Intervals, what kind of flour you use plays a huge part as well, what kind did you use on that loaf?
>>8423597
"High Grade" I am /out/ and made this in a cast iron frypan with the intention to eventually start making this in a dutch oven in coals.
