What are some simple pleasures of food that you absolutely love?
>>9269805
>peanut butter on saltines
>ants on a log
>romaine with only a vinaigrette
>grilled cheese
>sauteed asparagus
>fresh fruits like bananas, watermelon, various citrus, apples etc down the line.
>cutting into the first bite of a medium-rare ribeye that your wife made after a long day of work and all you've had is coffee, water, and some bullshit like fruit
It's almost religious
>cook several dishes at once
>somehow everything finishes cooking at the same time
Why do poor people like this place so much?
>>9269606
Fast casual dining seems more upscale then Carl's Jr. or KFC but the ingredients are still "white" and relatively cheap
>>9269606
I guess coz it's up from taco bell but slightly down from the average mexican joint, except you get more food. I mean, if Moe's had done their marketing and business model right, it would be them in the spotlight right now
If you had enough money would you have meals for the rest of your life, daily, at food establishments of your choosing? I imagine this is what rich people do
Nah cause im lazy. I'd probably just hire an in-home chef
No, I don't think it would be too enjoyable to eat out all by myself all the time
>>9269404
Just the opposite, I'd get a house with a fantastic kitchen and enjoy cooking all sorts of neat stuff, like Nathan Myhrvold.
Favorite spread to eat right outta the container?
>Pic related
Does this count?
cookie butter is supposed to be a spread? color me surprised I've never once spread it on anything just eat it by the spoonful
>>9269419
It's what fat people put on their toast instead of peanut butter
Just made my first batch of hummus today and thought I'd drop by /ck/ for the first time too. Anyone else here make their own hummus? What's your recipe? How do you eat it?
Soak 225g dry chickpeas in bicarb-spiked water overnight.
Drain.
Wash thoroughly.
Pressure cook 30 minutes at high pressure.
Allow pot to depressurise on its own.
Drain.
Allow chickpeas to cool.
Mash with clean hands.
>not necessary, but some like it: force mash through sieve to catch skins for smoother results
Whip mash with 5 pasted garlic cloves, a quarter cup/60ml olive oil, 5tbsp of sesame paste (roasted or white, up to you) and juice of 1 lemon.
Stir in lots of fresh cut parsley.
Salt to taste and serve.
Made some for lunch today, actually. Sort of. After I finished it, I was wondering why it tasted 'different.' Turns out, I forgot the lemon. Oops.
Ate it with soft, pan-cooked flatbread not too different from naan (khoubz taboun) as well as a fennel salad and a tomato salad. With vinegar, cuz I'm not a muzzie.

sounds good, might try to make this without the pressure cooker part, cause i don't own one.

Jesus fucking Christ I've got a long ways to go...
>Can of chickpeas
>Drain
>Repeatedly fill can with water and drain to 'rince' the chickpeas
>Mash on a plate with a fork
>No garlic though would have used powdered if I had some
>1/4 cup vegetable oil
>1/4 cup tahini
>abt. 2tbsp store-bought lemon juice
>1/2-1 tsp salt
>Fair bit of black pepper
>Mix it all (In my defence, even though I basically just used a fork, it turns out relatively smooth)
The flatbread sounds wicked, so far I've just tried it on toast. I hear veggies go good with it, and I'll see about getting some vinegar to try with it too. I plan on adding garlic powder next time around, perhaps also cumin and/or paprika since that seems like common additives. But yeah, I imagine it would taste significantly different without lemon. Overall the process of making it, though rustic to say the least, was quite enjoyable. I definitely look forward to making more. For now, I've put it all in an empty and clean margarine tub for storage in the fridge. I hear it's good for about 3-5 days, so I guess it'll be good until August 9th-11th or so. No way it'll last that long; too tasty, well, by my standards anyways.

Also, glad to hear you're not Muslim. We've been having more and more trouble with them in the west. For being a 'religion of peace' they sure do talk about war/conflict/distrust a lot in the Quran, which I've read a bit of just out of curiosity. They sure don't like Jews, and aren't too fond of Christians either, even though they claim Christ is a prophet of Islam.
I love pear butter but I can never find it anywhere, it's like it vanished from the face of the earth. Anyone have any recipes?
>>9269320
Nice repost.
1. Puree a pear.
2. Mix with butter.
Me mum bought this at a ghetto grocery store while buying imported teas. She didn't know what it was.
I (21) need to cook dinner for my sister (24) and I was wondering if you had any suggestions.
It's name is probably 2 or 3 syllables long and might start with y, j, h, or w.
Those look like mesquite beans.
>>9269430
Yeah I can confirm these are from mesquite trees. Growing up in texas we would grab these off of trees and chew on them a bit they are a bit sweet.
>>9269276
looks like horse tamarind, it's used fairly commonly in thai cooking

Was this documentary fake news?
>>9269171
It was like 50/50 bullshit and accurate. The food industry has issues for sure, but this is sensationalized a lot.
>>9269171
the "muh le veganism cures aids and cancer" bit was bullshit but you better believe that the meat industry is a destructive corporate piece of shit that you should ignore anon
>>9269171
I try to eat less animal products, but that documentary was full of shit
I'm about to move out and want to get in cooking. What stuff should I buy as starter? I'm a /fit/fag, so lots of meat, fish, rice and salad is what I'm aiming for.
>>9269048
Buy a salad spinner and a sous vide cooker and you'll be all set OP
>>9269048
chef's knife, paring knife, fillet knife, some kinda of sharpening tool, wooden chopping board, a couple decent pans with lids (I like the ceramic coated), crockpot, rice-cooker...
>>9269133
Why a rice cooker instead of just a pod? Isn't it a waste of money?
do americans really eat this much sugar in the morning?
>>9268744
No but we nuke bitches and celebrate freedom.

Are europeans really this obsessed with americans?
STOP SERVING FOOD (except a few cheeses maybe) ON THESE
I'D RATHER HAVE A PLASTIC TRAY OR A PIECE OF PAPER RATHER THAN A FUCKING BOARD
You can't tell me what to do. I don't feel like washing extra dishes so I'm going to continue eating off the cutting board.
>>9268028
enjoy your degenerated immune system and your allergies.
I use a paper towel faggot. Try and stop me
How is dairy queen still a franchise?
>ice cream, the basis of their restaurant, is completely mediocre, the only thing they have going is the blizzard which can easily be bad depending on who makes it
>burgers/fries/etc aren't bad but are just average and portions are small
>deals aren't good
Why do these places still exist? I would rather go to literally any other fast food joint. I would rather go to fucking taco bell. I'd love to hear someone try to defend DQ
Their soft serve is ok. Worst than foster freeze though.
Also their holiday season blizzard flavors are good. The DQ in my home town is dessert only.
>>9267550
fuck DQ
first off i just realized they dont even have mint chocolate chip
also their icecream itself suck ass, i never like the flavor of the vanilla or chocolate
the actual ice cream cakes are good tho
>>9267550
Chicken basket 6 piece
Double gravy
Large sprite
Fuck their ice cream their food is actually pretty decent.
Do you review your food? Like on Yelp or a blog or even the local newspaper. Even if you just keep a notebook or something.
I leave bad reviews on Google if I get bad service or shit food.
