Toasting your spices, whether they're whole or ground. Also coconut milk instead of yogurt or cream, but that's a personal preference.

Are there any healthy flavours? I can't eat plain oatmeal, it just depresses me and it tastes like nothing, but I also don't want to put sugar and/or fruit in it all the time.
I've tried peanut butter and it's pretty okay, but I eat enough peanut butter as it is in sandwiches.
I feel like all that's left is dinner-flavoured "risotto" style oatmeal like mushrooms and such. But I don't know, that's not very morning food.

Just put some sugar and cream on it and grow it up
Oatmeal isn't really healthy or not, and a spoonful of sugar and cream isn't going to kill you.

try cinnamon and/or nutmeg

I'm a sommelier at what I guess /ck/ would term a "fine dining" restaurant (I realise that's a loose term as some of you believe Olive Garden to be a high end gastronomic experience).
Ask me anything.

This week I was able to git gud and make meat taste really fucking good just by doing this:
-Let meat (did pork and beef so far, both delicious) warm 5 minutes before cooking and season heavily with salt and pepper
-Get pan really fucking hot, to the point where it's almost smoking (it has nothing in it wtf)
-Drop meat in pan
-*sizzle sizzle* Rub and move it around the pan without applying too much pressure, just to make sure there's contact with the pan evenly
-Flip it
-Repeat
-Remove meat, let cool a good 5 minute
-Eat
I can see the orange/maillard reaction happening but my problem is making it stick to the meat instead of staying on the wall of the damn pan. I always add a bit of butter and water after removing the meat and try to dilute the remaining orange into the mixture to make a sauce but it's never too great. The meat tastes really great because it has some orange on it but it's like 48% of it stays in the pan.
Any tips on handling the heat/pan to maximize the orange/taste?

yeah I just watched a video of gordon ramsay's perfect steak and was quite surprised by the amount of oil and butter he's putting in there. Jesus christ that's a lot of fat.
But yeah the pork had this little slab of fat on the side so I just seared it first (even before putting the meat down) so it had this base of fat which was good.
Should I use olive oil or butter at the beginning? (gordon uses olive first and then butter to infuse the garlic/thyme in it towards the end)
Is the smoke normal?
Should I leave my stove at max temp the whole time or should I start it really hot and then lower it to mid-high?
I have a standard non-stick pan and a copper/heavy-bottomed large pan. Which would be better? I noticed the copper bottom one retained heat much longer but it got literally too hot to the point where adding water would just evaporate it straight away.

What's her name, /ck/? I tried a different recipe for BBQ pork and it ended up tasting like spoiled pork amplified.

Which fruits and vegetables are actually better in America than in any other country in the world?
I've lived on about 3 continents and produce in America for the most part ranges from mediocre to shit unless you get extremely even in high end grocery stores. All the produce in the grocery store looks nice until you actually eat it.
Vidalia onions and key limes seem to be the two exceptions and key limes are on the list only because America seems to be the only place you can get them.

Vidalia onions are shite though, they're onions for people who hate onions but realize it's socially unacceptable not to like onions, so they found these fake onions that have no onion flavor, so they can pretend.
I get my produce from the farmers market. This week is baby mustard greens and the first ramps of the season. I have to say, it tastes really good.

Paid shills.
Trolls who think it is funny to act like paid shills.
People who yell at the shills, real or imagined.
People who then countershill for other fast food in the shill thread
Shilling intensifies
Countershills start Burger King shill threads to mock the mcdonalds shill threads
People bitch at those shills
McDonald's shills start shilling in the Burger King countershill threads.
Loop ad nauseum.
Basically /ck has turned into a troll/shill circle jerk.

You could have just pushed off a thread that wasn't a Mcdonald's one. You are part of the problem.
Chocolate will run out on 2020 due to overconsumption and deforestation.

Is there any dish with a fried egg dumped on top that doesn't look cheap and tacky? I'd wager there isn't.

>inb4 "Make your own salsa, anon"
I do when the vegetables are halfway decent at my local smalltown market
>inb4 "Grow your own vegetables, anon"
Not worth it in an apartment
Anyways, what are the best store-bought hot salsas you've had?
I want something that's gonna make me breath heavy and my nose runny, not something that just physically hurts.
>Clint's is okay when I'm feeling it
>Mrs. Renfro's is shit tier
>Jardines is also alright
>Get out of here with that Newman's Own shit.
>Tostitos doesn't make hot salsa that I know of
>Pain is Good doesn't even taste hot to me, it just goes to an immediate burn
Only good Ghost Chili salsa I've had is from a city a few hours away, I never have any other reason to travel there. Anyone have any recommendations?

I get Old Dutch most of the time. It tastes like home.
Que Pasa Chipotle has a really nice flavour (I love subtle chipotle flavours, like in mayonnaise and sauces) but it was a little hot for me.

Whats up /ck/
I'm a struggling college student that isn't going to get paid until the weekend and I've only got around $10 to my name. There's not to much around me that isn't expensive (there's an iHop, but that's kinda costy) and I don't have a car at the moment.
Does anyone know any coupon codes or w/e that I can use to significantly reduce the price of something I can get delivered like pizza? Any thing helps.
