I was served this for lunch today at work.
I feel personally insulted.
Post food gore.
You should be happy your workplace feeds you anything you ungrateful piece of shit.

They deduct it from our salary. $10 a day.
Tell me that's a $10 sandwich.
Why do you have two different sandwiches? At work you drink a cup of coffee and smoke a cigarette for lunch. If you have time for more than that, you are a leech to the business and should be fired. Work hard, die young and give your life to corporate to improve their lives. It's the only way to be happy.

I know it's probably impossible to choose one, but try. What stands out in your mind as the best or one of the best meals you've ever had?
One of the best I've had was about five years ago in Hawaii. I was over at someone's house and they made some lau lau pork wrapped in spinach with some white rice. It was perfect. The rice was cooked perfectly and sticky. The spinach was rich and buttery and the pork was perfectly sweet, tender and moist. There was a perfect ratio of spinach to pork too. It basically melted in your mouth.
Which food experience stands out for you?
Pork lau lau is my favorite Hawaiian dish, but it isn't made with spinach.
>>7301588
Well the one I ate was...at least I think...What the fuck is it made with then?
>>7301604
Not the guy you responded to, but it's taro root, if I remember correctly.
Whatever the fuck it is, I love lau lau plates. My favorite Hawaiian place, which closed down, made the perfect fucking lau laus, and I still crave them years later. Other places make some acceptable ones, but they're just nowhere near as good.
Bought pic related for dinner tomorrow, any suggestions? I'm just trying to get more fish in my diet and frying it up with some chips seems too obvious.
Last time I bought kippers was for kedgeree.

pan fried.
Stir fry some any leafy green (chinese broccoli da bess doe) with soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and butter/oil.
>>7301375
forgot to mention; serve over rice.
How do I make oatmeal taste good without adding too much sugar?
Just use syrup instead
Add salt too.
And vanilla extract.
Protein Powder(Whey or Casein)
Fruit Preserves
Bananas
Yogurt
Nut Butters
I have a full pound of high quality curry powder.
What are some varieties of curries that actually use curry powder? Too many curries are tomato and cream-based.
what does high quality curry powder mean? i bought some once and it tasted overwhelmingly like cinnamon/a spice i couldn't identify and it just wasn't good. i'm guessing the only difference between the shit i had good curry powder would be the ratio of spices to one another. so what is high quality curry powder exactly? from what i can tell spices i've bought from different brands all generally seem to have the same quality.
>>7303840
most indian currys dont even really use the yellow/orange curry powder, and rely on garam masala and house blends. Thai curries use it a littl ebut rely on ginger/lemongrass/coconut more.
Really the onyl two that comes to mind is japanese curry and jamaican curry. And japanese curry sucks. look up jamaican curry

OP here, I worked for a few months in a specialty food store.
The owner was an old Indian dude who would order massive 50lb sacks of spices. We would use an industrial food scale to portion and seal spices into little bags with our Store's name on them, like pic related.
We carried several curry blends, including Sri Lankan, Indian, Bombay, and Madras. We sold all in 100g baggies, except for the Madras. People demanded the Madras curry powder so often, we made it in 450g bags. 9 times out of 10, the Madras curry powder would always be sold out. Customers would tell us how they drove in from nearby towns to get the Madras stuff, it was crazy.
The Madras curry powder was far more expensive than the other curry blends, but, it has a far richer and superior flavor. (Though, I never tried the other blends)
>inb4 nice blog post
Me and the wife are having a friend and his fiance over for a small get together/dinner party. We all wanted to try something new that we have no real experience cooking with. I picked up some lamb chops from work at cost and I am looking for some ideas. I kinda want to try something curry with maybe a Caribbean influence. Maybe suti polo or the like for one of the side dishes. Any suggestions co/ck/s? Thanx in advance, will check the thread periodically.
>>7303728
What you have says "Frenched rack", so it's the ribs. Very nice cut for a roast or cutting into chops. Probably too nice a cut for making a curry out of - it would kinda be a waste.
If I wanted to go in an Afro-Caribbean direction I'd marinate it in something evocative of jerk seasoning (salt, scallion, thyme, Scotch bonnet pepper, allspice and a very little acid), then do it as a roast, and serve med rare. Careful with the Scotch bonnet - they are hot - I'd maybe use half of one for the entire marinade. Then I'd serve with with Trini style rice and peas (cooked in coconut milk) and some cooked greens.

Sup /ck/, my friend and I just recreated a sandwich known as the "fools gold loaf" which consists of: a hollowed out loaf of bread filled with an entire jar of jelly, an entire jar of peanut butter, and an entire pound of bacon. Are we absolute madmen Y/N?

Posting a picture that's not sideways.
fucking phones.
How do you make your sauce for noodles/stir fry.
Bonus for spice.
I add a little black pepper to ketchup. It's good but only if you're adventurous and open to new things, really not for everyone.
>>7303568
I use a mixture of soy sauce and sweet chili sauce
A mixture of a little hot water, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Also add garlic powder as well.

That's actually chicken kiev
Alright /ck/uks, I'm horrible at making fried chicken, and am about to throw down a couple drumsticks, and was hoping for some wisdom.
Here's what I have for tonight:
>2 drumsticks that have been marinating in buttermilk and hot sauce for over 24 hours
>oil
>pan
>flour
>eggs
>panko breadcrumbs
>paprika
>garlic salt
>onion salt
>salt
>pepper
>other spices not posted because I'm not sure they would be relevant
Every time I fry chicken, the crust on the outside is hard as a rock and black (inedible) and the inside is cooked well, but bland as fuck so I'm looking for next level like pic related.
Hard she'll and bland is how it turns out when I use a deep fryer at 325 degrees, so I'm using pan fried this time instead so I can master the craft
Redpill me on a based fried chicken recipe, plz
>>7302650
Best fried chicken recipie:
>go to the darkest ghetto in the city
>find a chicken shack ran by asians
>order best chicken ever.
>go back for more because they used crack in their batter and now your hooked.
>>7302668
Obviously, but the grocery store by my place had drumsticks on sale for $0.69 a pound, so I bought over 4 pounds worth
Maybe you should poke the chicken with a fork and marinade it for however long? It's not that hard to think of a remedy for the inside.
when is it ok to use ketchup as a condiment in cooking?
After you shoot yourself.
>>7301312
whenever
>>7301312
I put it on hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken nuggets, fried potatoes and that's about it, I suppose.
And it's okay to use in whatever the hell you want to use it on. It's your food going into your mouth. Eat what you like.

Was thinking about getting a bottle last night, never tried it before. So why don't you like it?
>>7301273
not OP. It's decent but I don't see what the big fuss is.
Depends on what you're using it for I guess.
>>7301273
Because it's well liked.
