Little known food facts. I'll start.
Do you know that mayo tastes similiar to eggs? You have probably noticed it. This is because eggs are made from mayo.

They need to start an autism board for you fuckers.

Actually mayo is made by mixing garlic and oil together
>>9418787
Nice try troll
Everybody knows that garlic + oil = mustard gas

How did you know?
Besides, pear is superior pizza fruit.
>>9418125
Pear, prosciutto, arugla with a cream saucw would make a nice 'za.
I don't really give a shit what you put on pizza as long as it isn't a group ordering pizza and you decide to put YOUR topping on the whole damn thing without asking anyone first. Unless you are paying for the whole pizza, that is the worst kind of pizzafags

>2015 IWSC Trophy

There are literally hundreds of gins that got a trophy.
Is this "trophy for attendance" shit now covers drinks too?
>>9418074
What do you mean "now"? It's always been like that.
As someone who sucks at cooking, tell me how to make a decent bento box to impress my weeb shit girlfriend. However, she doesn't like tomate so leave that out.
cook rice sprinkle some sesame seeds on top or whatever
make those folded eggroll things wrapped in a thin strip of seaweed
Add some meat like shrimp, chicken or maybe those gyoza things
add some vegetable which she does like.
recieve blowjob because it's fucking annoying to make so many things in small quantities.
C'mon, somebody post it.
It's been nearly two minutes!
>>9417942
Thanks. What folded egg roll things are you talking about?
Alright what the fuck, why does my pizza dough keep tasting like shit.
i suck, i keep making fucken pizza dough. I put every single thing in at the right time, I mix the flour the salt the sugar all fine then add the fucking olive oil and water(done it both by hand and with mixer)
>22.5 ounces (about 4 1/2 cups) bread flour, plus more for dusting
>.5 ounces (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) sugar
>.35 ounces kosher salt (about 1 tablespoon)
>.35 ounces (about 2 teaspoons) instant yeast
>1.125 ounces Extra Virgin olive oil (about 3 tablespoons)
>15 ounces lukewarm water
I've let it rise for 2 hours, 12 hours, 2 days, everything but it always tastes the fucking same, like it sucks ass.
Tastes doughy, tastes like complete crap
WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING WRONG
>it's instant yeast i don't need to activate it with warm water, but i see some morons do
is that the problem?
>I'm not kneading it enough / properly
should i be beating the shit out of it in a mixer for like 15 minutes or something?
do i gotta fold it a billion times until its perfectly smooth its usually sticky
>sprinkling too much flower
am i using too much flower AFTER i mixed the dough together
SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE, and i know im not the only faggot on here with this problem; you'll be doing a bunch of people a favor
>should i be beating the shit out of it in a mixer for like 15 minutes or something?
yes
>am i using too much flower AFTER i mixed the dough together
probably. new bakers always do this because they don't knead properly
do you have a bench scraper? get a bench scraper.
above all i suggest you ask someone you know to show you how to do it. there is no substitute for hands on guidance in baking.
>>9417599
no i don't have a bench scraper, not cause im poor but im just lazy so i use like a pot lid or whatever
I'll try kneading it longer then, I don't have anyone who can bake worth a damn in my social circle
get a bread machine... make pizza dough with no effort and be happy again.
I can cook better than my dates... Anyone else see this trend? I live on the coast but most people here are shitty cooks, but i'm actually suprised that girls are the prime suspect. Some can bake goods but that is pretty much it. Why is that? Shouldn't we try to get cooking classes set up during in high school so people can be self sufficient?
>>9417236
>I can cook better than my dates... Anyone else see this trend?
Millenial borderline GenX aged guy here.
I've yet to date a millenial aged girl who can fry an egg or make toast without burning something.
It seems that millenial aged girls are pretty much useless in all skill sets.
Kinda sucks if you're looking for a good woman.
>>9417236
>Wanting the government to get involved.
It's the girl's fault for not wanting to know how to cook. Don't force the public schools to teach something that should have been passed down by her mother or father.
Strange rice soup/gruel with small fragments of pork
Got this friend bread with it
Strange black eggs at the bottom. Are these edible?
Duuuuude. That's pork and preserved egg congee. It's my favorite congee. Yes, eat the egg. That's what I always eat when I'm sick. Fixes me right up.
Any ideas for interesting ways to flavor legumes?
I'm trying to replace most of my simple carbs with legumes for dietary reasons. They're delicious, but variety is important to me. Besides things like mexican and indian flavors and herbs de provence, what sort of things do beans and lentils take well to?
I make a pot of soup a few times a week and throw lentils in it for the protein. I milk off the soup erry day and Im looking better cause of it. I reccomend soup :)
>>9417100
beans and lentils are pretty much a blank slate. You can flavor them however you like. Any sort of spice mix goes well with them.
My favorite is the classic: cook them with good homemade stock (never water) and a ham bone or other cured/smoked pork product.
Don't forget you can sprinkle them into or use as a base a variety of salads for healthy low calorie meals.

I have come to the conclusion that frying raw potatoes in oil slowly produces vastly superior results to par-boiling them first. Your thoughts?
>>9417050
It it works for you.
>use a hard variety of potato
>peel
>cook all the way through
>keep in the fridge for a day
>fry in lots of butter
Good homefries have little moisture, That's why you need to let them dry. I guess it was originally a leftover recipe.
It's a matter of taste and also of the sort of potato, but I generally prefer to partially or fully pressure cook potatoes first and only occasionally fry raw potatoes.
(I'm sure a non-pressurized steamer / rice cooker or whatever would also be fairly okay, but it wastes time and probably energy).
There's a cooking competition at my work right now for a pretty large pot. The competition is to make some variation of eggs benedict, consisting of a bread, meat, a poached egg, and some kind of hollandaise. My idea was to have a steak with bearnaise over a rye or sourdough bread. Any advice would be appreciated but my main questions are what cut of meat I should use and what bread pairing would be good. I intend to make everything my self and I have a week to prepare, so no breads that need 20 year old starters please.
How about thinly sliced lox for the meat on a flatbread like lavash with a dill baised bernaise? I've got a simple recipe for lavash that only takes a short time to make. Also you can make your own lox in 24-48 hours by using a salt/sugar rub. If that sounds interesting to you I could post the recipes.
>>9417039
Sounds very Jewey anon, go ahead and post it and I'll see if it's something I'd be interested in. I've never made lox before so I guess this would be a good learning experience too.
