Pop corks, take notes.
You can look at wine aroma/taste wheels if you need common descriptors -- but if a wine reminds of you Lucky Charms, then that's better than getting the hints of earth and plum.

Getting started is easier if you're near a decent wine shop. Have them assemble an affordable mixed case of bottles, then have a blast drinking them w/ food, w/ friends, solo with a movie.

When you're done, take your notes back to the shop - see what you liked/didn't - and you're on your way to developing a palate.

Your local shop will be a lot better with actual wines available in your region/pricepoint than dudes on the internet.

Nice thanks for the reply. Since Im a student it doesnt look like Ill be able to afford a case of wine for a while but its definately on my bucket list.

I drank wines for many years mostly red,various grapes types,various price range and finally stopped.
Wines are hard on the liver and I got bored with the buzz they give.
Red wines will make you sleepy and tired, whites not so much,white wine gives more clearer buzz.
Red wines will make your teeth dark.
Of course more expensive better wines will have more complex taste but after 3 glasses you will not notice that that much.
Overall waste of money if you drink wine by it self just to get the buzz.
To have glass or two with food if is well paired with food could be rewarding I guess.
Again, reds will make you tired and sleepy give headache and darken your teeth, whites not but whit wines have more sugars in them.
Also remember wines have quite hight level of calories so you might gain weight and your liver will suffer more from wines than from drinking harder liquors like vodka scotch brandy rum, but all alcohol damages liver if over consumed.
Another thing in wines is the Sulphur dioxide (a sulphite) that is added as a preservative, some people have allergies to it.
Home made wines could be made without them but those wines will not age long (maybe max 1 year in cooler storage room).
Overall wines become boring for me to drink.

for me, the mcchicken...

mcdonalds best sandwich by far imo, memes aside

>>8385036
Never tried it, but I've heard it's actually pretty good. Might give it a shot next time I'm at McDick's.

is nutmeg a real thing? i thought it was just a meme

>>8383766
My mom beats the shit out of knives and doesn't give a single fuck. Like she'll wail on food like she is mad at the world and then bitch two days later that she can't cut a lemon. YEAH BECAUSE YOU DON'T SHARPEN YOUR SHIT.

Drives me up the wall when I go over her place.

>>8383776

For me it is the McChicken, the best fast food sandwich.

This better not be in order. Reuben at #17 is the least close thing from objective.

depends on the airline and what class you are flying in. if you aren't a picky eater some of it's not to bad. also the flight length makes a dif. if you are taking a 2 hr hope, all you will get is a can of coke and some pretzels. flying across the Pacific/Atlantic? you might get two meal choices for dinner.

>>8381074
The pressurized cabin reduces your ability to taste. That coupled with the airline wanting cheap, inoffensive food that will satisfy the most people for the least money means everything is really bland.

Here you go, goat stew.

Traditional mexican dish. Also delicious.

>>8365943

I live in a bad part of town and all of the mexican restaurants have this on their menu, displayed like it's some kind of birthday cake

I went to Mexico recently and pretty much all mexican dishes were different tortillas or chips with a bunch of meats and cheese on them and some sauce. Except for lime soup, that shit was delicious.

Sous vide machines circulate the water. You're going to get hot/cold spots. It's a lot more than just temperature control.

>>8390214
If I put a towel over the top, it might work out well. We are cooking over a long period of time, six or so hours.

>eating fast food

Grow up.

I'm not eating inside one of these places you snobby faggot

Not enough alcohol in your system. I'd recommend a nice mug vodka.

Lack or moral fortitude or crohn's disease.

You have a vagina where your dick should be

No, it's just disgusting

>>8389943
why?

how is it much different from iced or cold brew?

it is the duty of the selfless hero.
....or you can add cream & sugar, throw it in a blender with ice, and pose as a Starbucks customer.

McChicken
/thread

By your own criteria rota/rotelle are better but obviously the best pasta is spaghetti or MAYBE lasagna. To argue otherwise just makes you look like a tryhard.

I like penne.

it's called not eating the entire tray of cookies by yourself in one sitting

>>8389352
I agree that much sugar wasn't necessary, I wouldn't have added the one cup of white sugar, but I kept waiting for an "entire jug" of sugar to come in and that didn't happen.

3 cups of sugar is not a completely crazy amount for cookies. They're sweets, they're supposed to have sugar. It's not like one person is supposed to eat all the cookies.

DELET THIS

A word food snobs toss around like it means anything at all.

Not snitching, slanging rock, etc., etc

>>8389336
Nothing. Even people from the same region/country/city bicker about what is "authentic." It is subjective.

>tfw no dog

>>8389064


my dag likes yams, I put one in the oven, go throw a ball at him for an hour, come back and pull the yam out. Hes smart enough to not eat it while its hot but he eats the whole thing, skin and all.

Sometimes I eat one too, I put a bit of strubs horseradish in mine.

>>8389064
for me it would be the mcchicken
