I'm in Europe and want to try some American junk food, so I need recommendations. Anything, savory, sweet, chips, puffs, chocolates, candies etc as long as it can be shipped, and is worth shipping across an ocean for.
It's a pretty backwater part of Europe and doesn't get a lot of stuff, so if there's international junk food you'd like to recommend, you can do that too, as long as it's easily available in American stores, since I'll have a friend there buy it for me and ship it here.

>is worth shipping across an ocean for.
Amerifag here. None of it is, really.
>>9160485
Forgive me if you can actually get some of this shit there, I don't really know what's available there
Reese's, Snickers, Nerds Rope, Pretzel M&Ms, Cow Tales, Vanilla Coke, Root Beer or Birch Beer, Hi-Chew, and most Wonka candies are good
Avoid anything made with Hershey's chocolate, it's notoriously shit compared to other chocolate bars.

She doesn't really love you, and seeks comfort in the arms of another.

Find something that isn't.

YEAH BOOOOOOIIIIIII
Honestly, that looks comfy as fuck. Is your wife Korean?
To the haters: the rice and beans make are very good, and while the thought of shredded cheese might put you off, it's actually good when combined with a good soup/stew (김치찌개, 부대찌개, 닭찜(OMG!!!! YES), 된장찌개, 쇠고기무국, 북어국, 설렁탕, 매운무국, etc.).

Why does water taste so good?
Because its neutrality lets you focus on the flavor of what you're eating. Drinking something like soda or juice with an otherwise savory meal has always seemed weird to me.
>>9159768
Only fags drink water. A real man drinks beer or coca cola, not that faggot ass pepsi drink that's for gender benders though

Hey /ck/, what food that is foreign to you have you tried and were surprised you enjoyed it?
For me it was when I tried haggis in Scotland
>>9159614
Durian. Only had it once when some friends brought one over.
The smell wasn't even that bad, I wouldn't describe it as bad either. It smelled sweet and and indescribably rich like an over ripe banana.
I could imagine people losing it over the texture, it felt like an underdone flan with varying levels of softness and thickness. But I'm a fan of custards so I wasn't a stranger to how it felt. The taste was very unique. Overall pleasant, it's very sweet and has a leafy "green" flavor to it. What's surprising is that you never get a hint of the aftertaste until after you've downed it. The aftertaste creeps up on you and reminded me of caramelized onions.
Maybe we had a dud but I doubt it? One of the guys yakked after barely having any and everyone else was spitting up and coughing.
>>9159654
Sounds nice, the aftertaste not so much. Maybe your friends just had different expectations or maybe it was just a dud
>>9159614
pretty much everything
my motto is if some a culture enjoys it, i can enjoy it as well

>There are still people who legitimately believe McDonalds uses fake meat or fake eggs, as if these are a thing
The only such thing as fake meat is pushed by Vegans you fools, there is no "fake meat". Just because meat is put through a grinder it doesn't suddenly become not meat, and just because eggs are frozen or come pre broken it doesn't suddenly become not eggs
>>9158612
I agree but at the same time I feel like if we could truly know everything that goes on behind the scenes it probably gross more than a few people out.
>>9158628
Transparency within the food industry does exist but unfortunately most of it is agenda bound with groups like peta, and other activism groups. It would gross people out for sure but it's likely to not turn a whole bunch of people away. I've seen every kind of slaughterhouse videos I can think of, some really degrading, disgusting practices; yet, today I had breakfast with bacon, eggs, and a dinner with a cheeseburger.

depends on your height and weight. but if that's you in the picture, which I must assume(why else would you post it), then yes you could.
>>9158394
Sure, if I stopped drinking and didn't do shit.
I'm pretty fat so I could probably last for a while if I went into hibernation.
What the fuck do you actually DO with sage?
I now have a pot overflowing with it, and I never use it in my cooking. What do I do with it and what foods go well with it?
I am strangely in the same position OP, I also am not sure what to do. dry it?
>brown butter sage sweet potato Gnocchi
>brown butter sage ravioli
>brown butter sage anything really
it makes good stuffing as well, and pairs well with beef.
You can also roll it up into a cigar and burn it around your house to get rid of bad vibes.
>>9157256
Get a morter and pestal and grind it with a bit of salt. When use salt pork or chicken use your fresh sage salt (assuming sage works in the dish)
who was in the wrong here?

-secretly thinking their friend is stupid
-not ordering on the friend's behalf
-writing the article at all

How do you guys make delicious chili? I cooked it from a recipe once and it was great. Then my roommate and even my mom made fun of me for using a recipe for chili. So I tried it without a recipe and it was fucking awful. What's the secret?
>>9156708
It's my signature dish but it's summer, I cook them in winter.
>>9156708
The secret is use the recipe and tell your roommates and mom to go fuck themselves.
>>9156708
1) Chili peppers should be the main ingredient--it's the name of the dish for chrissakes. Not some silly little packet of powder, but actual, whole, chilies.
2) A variety of meats is best.
3) Never add water. Use flavorful liquids like tomato juice, beer, or stock/broth.
4) Time. Cook low and slow.
Just bought my grail deep fryer on Amazon
How lit and or dank is it
>>9156504
I have had that same model for about 4 years. It is 9/10.
The one thing to keep in mind is that the "Max" fill line is not the maximum amount of oil you can add for frying, that is the maximum amount that will drain into the bottom container without overflowing.
When frying chicken or something else that is fairly large, you will need to add more oil than the Max line.
When done frying and the oil has cooled, just ladle out oil back into the bottle with a funnel until you hit the Max line. Then just turn the knob.
Don't worry though. All of the impurities will be on the bottom and will not go back into the bottle.
>>9156504
I had one before I upgraded to pic related.
It's not bad. It does have the usual problems most home deep fryers do--weak power, and small size. But unlike most home deep fryers with a built in drain, that one actually works pretty well rather than being a complete clusterfuck that causes more problems than it's worth.
>>9156866
Have you ever overflowed it from frozen wings etc?
