Same. I've been trying to cook Mexican food like Mexicans do recently. My goal is to git gud enough that my Mexican friends can't distinguish my food from their Abuela's.

Yesterday I had fajitas for lunch. Beef and bell peppers pan fried with salt, black pepper, chipotle pepper, and half a lime squeezed over it. Ate that shit in corn tortillas. It was so flavorful, but also very spicy and kind of sour from the lime. Had to pace myself lest the spice overwhelmed me.

I go through periods like that too. I also go through phases where I'll just eat simple stuff like sweet potatoes for dinner every night.

>>7577365
Definitely went through a phase in my late teens/early 20's where I liked my food highly spiced. This was probably a reaction to my mother's cooking, which was decent, but very plain Jane.

This is a pretty slow board, son.

What's it like living in a fascist state?

I don't know, do different varieties of vegetables taste any different, heritage or otherwise?

What a stupid fucking question

>>7576859
I don't know, I've never eaten different varieties of carrot.

White carrots taste like the fourway intersection between turnip, parsnip, radish and carrot.
Yellow carrots taste like a cross between swede/rutabaga, sweet potato and carrot.
Red/purple carrots taste like a cross between parsnip, beetroot and carrot.

I've never had any other colour of carrot and I'm not sure whether others exist or not.

>>7576859
To be fair, daikon radish tastes exactly like regular radish and Lebanese "wild" aubergine/eggplant (pic related) tastes exactly like Italian "regular" aubergine (although Chinese ones do taste different).

Pasta looks delicious and perfectly rustic yet elegant

Burnt pizza rolls? Digusting

>>7576294
Theyre taco rolls not pizza rolls so thats how theyre supposed to look

They're probably treated like shit.

It's a TV show. It's not real. Stop getting mad at the TV.

Probably not. A waiter is a waiter.

And if they are, then they should explain why. But instead it's like:

>Gordon: This foot is shit!
>Server: LOL XD I know! It's so shit! It's terrible! They are terrible people!

Instead of just saying "yes sir" and conveying that back to the kitchen.

I was shocked and speechless. He left the room and his girlfriend (they are unmarried but live together) apologized. Eventually, people started talking more comfortably and he came back and was brooding and drinking more.

The stew was okay, but not authentic. I asked him if he knew that mutton was on sale at a local store and he flew into a tirade, bringing up any small error or faux pas I have ever committed at work. People were trying to calm him down, and I simply responded to him in a quiet and calm voice, and said that I appreciated his invitation and his "take" on Irish stew, but it would have been nicer if the company had been more warm.

He got up and pulled me out of the chair, stretching my sweater at the neck. He was literally screaming in my face and had his fist up in a threatening manner.

I told him I would call the cops if he hit me. He then told me to get out and take my "fucking juice and shit bread" with him. A second loaf was still in the oven with 7 minutes left, and I said I wasn't leaving until it was cooked and I could take it.

He shouted at me to leave or he would call the cops ON ME (imagine) and then threw the bread out of the oven on the ground. I was shaking with emotions and told the group that I enjoyed my time with them but I couldn't say the same about the host.

It was a horrible affair, but I decided to make authentic Irish stew today, because I was let down yesterday and had a hankering for it. It is simmering on the stove and I plan on bringing it to lunch tomorrow, one bowl for me and some for the host. It will be a subtle form of revenge as well as a way to show him that I am a better cook and am the more mature, forgiving person.

Any other stories of hosts from hell? People who cannot act respectful towards others in their own home should not have dinner parties.

LAAAME

This exact same thing seems to happen to a lot of people. It's strange, I can't imagine anything like it ever happening to me.

Is it?

I've been shopping at my target for like 4 years and never got a bag. I should try it

Do American department stores really serve food? That's crazy.

wait what third world country are you from?

Well, that depends on what kind of lentils. I love making fried chickpeas to go with chicken, or split pea daal.

First pick out any rocks by spreading a handful of the lentils onto a white plate and checking carefully. Then rinse.
I pressure cook them with 1 part lentil and 5 parts water, with tomato paste for 10 minutes or so.

Then when they're done add a bunch of spices, and eat with some toasted whole wheat bread.

I like them. I just do them simply, either Swiss/southern German style or Neapolitan style.

For Neapolitan:

Lentils, 200g/half pound
Water, 1 litre/quart, more if/as needed
Garlic, 3-4 cloves, smashed flat
Olive oil, 80ml/third cup US
Parsley, a handful of leaves
Salt, to taste
Spaghetti, dry, broken into spoonable size, 300g

In a pot, combine all ingredients except salt and pasta.
Bring to the boil and cook until lentils are done.
Salt to taste, then add the pasta.
Boil until the pasta is done, adding a little boiling water from a kettle at a time, if/as necessary.
Adjust salt, if needed, and serve.

For Swiss/German:
Same basic idea, minus the pasta and swapping out the garlic for onion and carrot, the parsley for celery and the oil for any other cooking fat.
Once cooked and reduced to be quite thick, boil some spätzle and drain.
Top the spätzle with the stewed lentils and serve with hot dogs.
>some people boil the sausages with the lentils, so you can try that, too.

Less.

More. Even looking at pictures of food makes me feel less depressed. I love going grocery shopping even though I'm spergy around people.

More, though at times extremely less. If it's really, really bad I'll hyper binge eat... Like, I'll eat until I'm full, then I'll see something else I want and eat that. To try and control myself during these time I'll be like "okay, I'll wait ten minutes so I'm hungry again and then eat it", as if ten minutes is enough time to get hungry. It rarely happen that bad, but it happens.
I'm working on losing weight now. I've already lost 40 pounds. Hopefully after another 60-80 I'll be done entirely.

I am viscerally disgusted by people who can't learn by reading words on a page, and chef steps is a prettier, moving version of "vertical infographics how to cook 2 am chili" garbage shitposts.

>>7570546

then read the recipes on their site you cunt

>>7570546
Whatever dude. You'll thank sweet baby Jesus, it tastes like touchdowns.

compared to American domestic prosciutto, there's definitely a noticeable difference
just ask the guy at your deli to try out a slice of Jamon Serrano or whatever they happen to have

Trust your own taste.

If it doesn't seem worth the extra money, don't buy it.

Also don't judge things based on internet opinions. Most "meme" foods are just things that are popular, and are usually popular because they're good, so it's stupid to prejudge something that lots of people enjoy.

If anything on /ck/ is a meme, it's, "why do people pretend to like".

If you've never had a Spaniard cut you some dank ass ham then you should do it, but don't break the bank.

You mean the bone? I was trying to be a bit anal, but that damn bone didn't wanna "stick" to the glaze. Tips?

>Polacks
>Not Slavs
>Polack food
>Not Slav slop

Sure thing Aleksy

>>7575055
Slavic peoples. Slavs are the people who live in Eastern and Central Europe, the Balkans, Central Asia and North Asia . They include: Russians, Poles,Macedonians, Czechs, Serbs, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Bulgarians, Slovaks, Slovenes, Croats and Bosnians.

Weird how that works faggot

>>7575065
>Slavs...include...Poles

So we're agreed that Poles are Slavs and therefore Polish food is just yet more Slav slop. So what the fuck is the OP even trying to ask? "Most euroshit food is just a bunch of slav slop but the poles have yet more slav slop."? It's a non-sequitur.
