Could you shake it up a bit more? It doesn't have enough foam. Thanks!

A restaurant in someone's yard? Absolutely ridiculous.
You are never going to make a vegan/skinny/GF version of something that tastes better than its non- vegan/skinny/GF counterpart.
This is a fact.

If I'm making chicken tikka masala do I need a million and a half spices or can I just use the garam masala spice blend on its own for seasoning?
>spice blend
end yourself
If you don't want to get all the spices then go buy a curry paste
do not use a "spice blend"

>You should kill yourself for using a traditional Indian ingredient when cooking an Indian style dish
Why does everything I make taste bland until I dump a bunch of salt in? Is that all there is to cooking? Salt and sugar and MSG?
>>7046570
You've ruined your palate with alcohol and smoking.
>>7046570
Either you're an old fart or you're a smoker.

Why do vegan alternatives to meat/animal products food always have a name along the lines of "vegan meat/animal product!"
Fuck! Why can't they just call it what it is or make up a name for it?
actually agree
>>7046427
They try to make it look like meat quite often too. Vegans suck shit.
>>7046562
Lots of the food is actually good (or decent) but when you go into something with the expectation that "it tastes just like 'x'!" then you're probably less likely to like it straight up simply because it never does taste like 'x', although without the claim you may have enjoyed it
For the average home cook, what do you think is the most commonly overcooked dish or item? Most commonly undercooked?
For both of those, how would you describe them (Color, texture, smell, etc) when cooked properly, and if possible or relevant, can you offer any tips on a proper cooking technique or trick to get them perfectly cooked?
I feel like a lot of newer cooks are most worried about burning/overcooking things or serving under cooked food, because it's difficult to recover a dish once served in either of those states, particularly overcooking. Plus, if you really botch it and things become inedible, it can become impossible to taste and rate your cooking and then improve on flavors and things going forward.
>Overcooked
Any and all vegetables.
Probably not as bad as it was a few generations ago though, I remember eating my grandma's food and all veggies were reduced to an inedible slop.
overcooked
>pasta
>vegetables
>beef
undercooked

Overcooked eggs.
Undercooked beans.

I keep thinking that processed, american singles have a place here and there (burgers, hungover grilled cheese, etc.), but every time I give a chance I realize I have completely grown out of the taste.
Not even talking about Kraft singles, but nicer regional brands that claim "organic" and "minimally processed".
>inb4 there's no difference
There is a difference, but it makes no difference.
Hey lads, German-English Anon here:
I'm sending a parcel of presents to the German half of my family in Hanover, what are some good English food and drink I can include?
Here's what I've got currently
>Cadbury
>M&S Jam jars
>Cider Aspall
>Jammy dodgers
Obviously the food has to have a long best-eaten-before date and not be too fragile.
tortilla chips

>not the GOAT British sandwich
Jesus these fries are good. Small restaurants ftw
No clue why that picture is upside down but im not fixing it cause its on my phone. More beer and mango habanero wings incoming
Must be pretty small if that's one portion of fries.
>>7046353
Amerifats, everyone.
nah senpai

>best burger
>no gold leaf
Pic related was voted best burger for 2014 and 2015.
They fry their fries in beef tallow...fucking amazing.
Do you have a problem with people taking pictures of their food?
I'll only take a picture if it's something weird.
Like when I got a chicken and waffle sandwich once.
>>7046289
No.
It's a compliment to my kitchen.
Not at all. Only people with the most severe autism do.
What does /ck/ think of bottled/canned/gas station tea?
pic related
It's pretty good
Cheaper to make it by yourself to be honest
Just puree a fruit cup of peach and put in with some black tea
It really shows how much sugar you're drinking when you try to add enough to taste even remotely like snapple
>>7046232
Pig disgusting. Way too fucking sweet, and pointless fruit flavors added. I have no idea who drinks this shit, but it's really no better than soda.
All I have is macaroni, what do?
Do you have water and a way to heat the water to boiling?
>>7046230
Make a picture of the food you REALLY want.

No.
The girls got preferential treatment because they're girls.
Yeah because halfway through he looked at you, realized you could probably afford to pay for the girls' sandwiches with your autism bux, and decided to try and be slick with them also realizing you'd be too beta to do anything about it.
