Be honest, how often do you wash your hands before you cook?

What are some good Swedish foods to try?
I'm using the website below, so far from what I remember from speaking to Swedish people I've got o'boy, julmust and salty liquorice.
So is there anything else on this site worth getting? (besides surströmming)

The salt liquorice I've got on the basket right now läkerol brand, is that one decent.

Is it really cheaper to bake your own bread?
Where I live, one can buy a 600g (or 1.4lb) pre-sliced loaf of bread for about $0.65 USD.
I looked at the ingredients list and the main ingredients are flour, water, yeast, salt, and oil. But there are also a few other minor ingredients (e.g. emulsifier 471 and 481 and acidity regulator 263) which probably can't be purchased easily. Since people made bread at home back in the Victorian era without all these fancy ingredients, I'm guessing these aren't really necessary if one wishes to make bread at home.
A bag of flour costs about $0.33 per pound here. Apparently bread is about 40 percent water, so in order to replicate the store bread, I would need about 0.84 pounds of flour - or $0.28 worth of flour.
However, there is also the electricity cost of running the oven. A typical oven runs at 1.5 kW and it takes roughly an hour to bake a loaf. Electricity prices here are about $0.18 USD per kW which works out to $0.27 for baking a single loaf.
$0.28 + $0.27 = $0.55. That's getting dangerously close to the $0.65 cost of the store bread. And that's not even taking into account the cost of the yeast, salt, and oil.
Not to mention having to spend an hour in order to bake the damn thing.
So is making your own bread at home really the smarter choice? And even if it is (marginally) cheaper, is it really worth going through all the trouble just to save <10 cents per week?

People generally make their own food because it tastes better not because it's always cheaper. Have you ever had homemade bread, or at least some bakery fresh bread?
>>
I can tell you right now it doesn't matter if it's marginally cheaper, the quality of bread you'll get is so far superior you'll never buy bread again. It's more work but a slice of fresh bread with a little mayo is to die for
>>
>>7113800
If smarter means comfortable then no. But of course homemade bread is nice and fun to make.

Dated a Japanese girl a while back who fucking loved these things. They're not bad, just kind of bland. I'd rather have any number of other fruits instead.

Stop being an ungrateful bastard.
Your parents probably should have aborted you if this is how you talk about them.

I know this feeling. Before I became a chef, my family would freak out at how good my cooking was. For some reason some people can't follow a recipe... I have no idea why, it's some kind of retardation or something. I know people who can have a recipe and all the ingredients laid out for them, and it tastes like dogshit. But I make the same one and it's great.

sup /ck/! What's your favorite burger?
My favorite is mcdonalds double cheeseburger with extra pickles, extra onions, no ketchup, add big mac sauce, 5 extra beef patties and 3 extra slices of cheese.
They always fuck it up, either forget something or put all the cheese on top like retardss, like how dumb can those monkeys be? WTF?! makes me mad as fuck, especially when i'm ordering and they stare at like like retards when i tell them how to make it.
But daym it's tastes good if done well.

So /ck/ time for the age old question
/dark meat/ or /white meat/ ??
there is a right answer.
>that delicious pull-apart moistness
>that burst of flavor
>that slippery slide it makes down your gullet
Which is the best meat and why is it dark meat?

Dark when it's fresh out of the oven. White for sandwich leftovers. Dark meat can't be reheated properly and still be decent. Have to eat leftovers cold as a finger food/snack.

if you have to pull apart your loads, you should see a doctor
Happy thanksgiving /ck/ I'm spending it smoking weed and drinking with my cat. Going to make breakfast for dinner later.
