/ck/, how do you like your eggs? I love the taste of hardboiled ones, but have no idea what to add to them beside salt.
I like them any way other than hardboiled
>>8276075
Hot sauce. Salsa works too
Hard boiled
I am tasked with using a banana in a meat marinade. What the fuck do I do?

Who's the pug in your picture?
>>8275613
No fucking clue.
mash it an and fry it a bit with onions and whatever else then deglaze with rum
I'm enjoying fresh heads of radicchio right now as simple salads.
They're horribly bitter, but I still like them. But I don't know if it's because I enjoy bitter flavors or the idea of bitter flavors. Do humans actually like bitterness?
When people buy ultra dark chocolate and black coffee, do we really feel pleasure of the bitter note or is it despite the bitter note?
People have different tastes. I love sour, vinegar loaded foods and will eat pretty much anything that's been pickled.
There is a bit of a theory on bitter though. Kids taste buds really develop around two years old and they tend to go off veggies since they suddenly taste bitter to them- it's thought this might be an evolutionary leftover from when we still foraged to keep children eating random things.

I love bitter flavors. Bitterness cuts really well against fat. Bitter melon with fatty pork, endive baked with Emmental cheese, frisee against anchovies, bacon or duck gizzards. There are lost of examples.

A bag of Jelly Belly's is one of the best deals in candy if not in food. You get 40 flavors. There's so much entertainment per bag. Half a pound is like $4.
Name a better value/cost ratio. Protip: you can't
>>8275527
>You get 40 flavors.
Sure but one of those flavours is Licorice. Chocolate Pudding & Cantaloupe can also suck a dick.
>>8275530
Licorice is the GOAT flavor.
>>8275535
Yes it does indeed taste much like Goat: both are disgusting.
I have moderate cooking skills and must make a good portable dish for a lady i am trying to get with.
Her birthday is in three days and for a present she asked me to cook her a lunch "like they do in the animes". She says she likes savory, spicy, with beef, and pasta. But anything good would do.
How could i make something that tastes wonderful and also have good presentation after a day?
A little backround on her, her family is vietnamese so that affects her pallet.
Please my dudes, i need to knock this out the of the park.
She's so amazing and this is really my chance to seal the deal. Lend me your power for the greater good, tell me how to wow her.

Thanks! These both look really good.

what no, anon what have you done
I put camembert cheese on pizza today. It was soft, creamy and satisfying. I am now curious what other cheeses I should try. Recommend me fancy cheeses.
try some kind of blue cheese
mix top shelf Gorgonzola and some french Gruyere, use that as your melting cheese.
3/4ths through cooking, open the oven and sprinkle on just a TINY bit of Roquefort. If that is too daring, try bleu cheese instead.
pricy af, but guaranteed a 9/10 pizza.
>>8273870
How about you use a vegan cheese instead. All the great taste without having to rip a baby calf from its mother to be slaughtered for meat.
I make pizza lot by putting white bread, sauce, and two slices of cheddar cheese (plus toppings etc.) in the toaster oven. My girlfriend calls this gross and weird. Is it that weird? My mom made me this all the time growing up and I assumed it was normal.
>>8273616
i made it once for fun, tasted ok but i felt really cheap somehow
At least Japan seems to think it's fine.
>>8273616
It kinda weird that you do it alot as an adult. Dough is really easy to make. Also, try a tortilla with cheese and pepperoni (no sauce) baked in the oven. It's a good drunk snack.
Chicken tacos
sofrito into the pan
get them herbs and spices in
dem thighs
Why does American pizza have a bad reputation whens its so good
Cheap crappy frozen pizza in european countries is usually labelled as 'American', as are the crap restaurants. Decent pizza tends to be from Italian places with Italian chefs.
Without going to the US it's impossible for Europeans to see if the pizza you make at home is actually any good.
>>8272363
Since when does it have a bad reputation?
I mean there's trolls on /ck/ who constantly talk about 'muh authenticity' but no one gives a shit about those faggots.
>>8272363
oh shit, here we go
Hello /ck/,
My gf wants to lose a bit of weight and for me to lose a lot of weight, so we have been eating smaller portions of healthy food.
She is a great cook, but I CRAVE fast food a lot of the time. For the last week, I have been eating a fast food combo around 2 pm in secret and then having to eat dinner a few hours later.
She is getting suspicious, because the last couple days I haven't finished my dinner and she said I smelled like grease/McDonalds when she kissed me today.
I am having trouble eating two meals in a few hours. Is there a way to increase my appetite in a healthy/natural way? Like a pill or something? I am not willing to exercise or anything like that.

Make yourself puke
Hey you cu/ck/s, I'm moving into my own place next week and am wondering what kind of all-purpose knife I should get, and also how to upkeep it well so that it's sharp.
Anyone know of any good santoku or chef's knife that will pretty much be used for 99% of my cooking prep needs?
I've been looking at pic related but holy shit 90 bucks is expensive. Any suggestions?
Knife and other essential cooking utensils thread, I guess.
If you're going Global, G2 or bust.
>>8268866
Ah, so are you in the Chef's Knife camp?
Also, do you suggest getting a sharpening rod and whetstone for upkeep?
I already have regular eating utensils, I'm just focusing on what I can use to cut and cook.
>>8268858
A lot of companies have "Commercial" or "Work" lines. They're relatively inexpensive, and a lot of times, the only real difference is the ugly yellow/blue/green plastic handle. Those that do use softer steel will need honing and sharpening more often, but I doubt you will work through a knife with standard home use.
>friend and i want to pick something up to eat on the way to a concert
>friend recommends the five guys close by
>place seems nice enough, order two small burgers and two fries
>get bag with all our food in it
>bag is burning to the touch and hot with grease stains on the side and bottom
>the fuck
>we sit down at the table and open it up
>fries literally come pouring out like we ordered a bag full of them
>salt gets all over the table and our food is slathered in grease and salt
>fries taste like absolute shit and i end up bloated, vomit later at the concert
Never went to that place again, there was enough fries in the bag to serve 4-5 people, it was ridiculous.
Any other horror stories from fast food places you guys have?
One time I got food poisoning from McDonald's.
>>8261043

>inb4 tendies or chicken sandwich
>>8261037
Five Guys is fucking nasty.

they finally came out with an emulsified peanut butter that isn't terrible for you.
based planters
90 calories per 15g is standard for emulsified.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the emulsifier is usually just vegetable oil, no? And it's usually around like 10-20%?
Given that nuts are mainly oil, usually the calorie difference isn't huge. The problem with most store bought isn't really the calories, considering pb always has high calories, it's the added sugar. Vegetable oil isn't great for you but it's usually a pretty small amount anyway.

not the calories, my man.
