Do you hate it when people insist that something should only be made with cheap ingredients? Like if you use something nicer or fancy it up that you're somehow ruining the integrity of the dish?
Case in point, the tomato sandwich. I've got a ton of tomatoes from my garden and I was looking for interesting variations, and so many articles are written by people insisting that you cannot use anything other than garbage mayo and cheap, terrible, spongy sliced, white bread to make a proper tomato sandwich, and adding anything else is sacrilege. The fact is that the sandwich becomes a million times better if you use a nicer bread or a spread, or if you simply add basil or pepper or a smoked cheese.
people often miss the point when they 'upgrade' dishes. just because it's an ingredient commonly perceived as 'better' or more luxurious does not mean it improves the dish. i hate people who put camembert or some shit in a burger.
>The fact is that the sandwich becomes a million times better if you use a nicer bread or a spread, or if you simply add basil or pepper or a smoked cheese.
i don't agree. i do like adding lemon juice and pepper to the mayo though. and often slices of hard boiled egg.

They just want to recreate the flavor of their childhood meals prepared by their alcoholic mom when they lived in a trailer park.
I've never seen an example of this
When you want Italian cuisine, nothing beats the aroma and taste of Chef Boyardee, but the question is.....
Is this meal better served right out of the can or hot?
>>9397476
ravioli has to be hot
spaghetti and meatballs is best cold
beefaroni is best hot
it's situational
>>9397494
When I was in the Navy I survived off of a few things. Chef Boyardee Beefaroni with the hot sauce they had on the ship. I didn't have time to warm it up, so you'd just crack the lid off and dump a SHITLOAD of hot sauce in there and eat it with a plastic fork. Those Vienna sausages too, they sold them on the ship so you'd load up on them and some energy drinks, shit'll keep you going for working over 30 hours straight. This was years ago, and I never want to have to eat like that again.
>>9397476
I always go straight from the can, and I ironically like it
there's a price lock at my stop and shop that all varieties are $1 so I've been working my way around the gambit. Found out there is sausage stuffed ravioli which is pretty good
Rate my wine.
Also, what alcohol should I buy next time?
My second time ever buying real, unsliced bread.
...And I take it this is how one is meant to eat bread.
Time to get drunk on rum and high on spliffs.

Are there any mass market fried tortilla chips that actually heat up your mouth?
I've gotten to the point where I don't even feel uncomfortable eating spoonfuls of huy fong chili paste and takis no longer taste like anything but grease.
>>9397473
Try not eating so much spicy shit you nigger and you'll be better in a couple of weeks.
How do i make curry?
preferably in the crock pot
>>9397378
What kind of curry?
>>crock pot
Meh results at best for curry. Much better do it with a normal pot/pan so you can toast the spices first (for Indian) or split the coconut milk & fry your paste (Thai), etc.
>>9397385
but what if i were white and lazy, and just wanted to throw everything in a pot and take a nap for 6 hours?
>>9397378
buy a shit ton of spicey or be smart and buy a really good masala like Chan's or a vadouvan.
What's that one dish you fear you may never perfect? You know the one. It comes out tasting pretty good, but it's never quite as perfect as when you first had it at a restaurant. Your guests love it but you know inside something's missing.

Black forest cake. I've only tried twice, and I'm not awful with layered cakes, but something about the whipped cream being so soft fucks me right up and my cakes end up falling apart. First cake fell in the fridge. Second attempt broke up cutting.
Pretty sure I used a stabilized whipped cream too, and tried a thinner layer on my second attempt. Oh well. When they fall apart I just dump the whole thing into a large bowl and eat it like a trifle over the course of a week.
I'd try it more but the cherries and Kirsch get expensive quick.
>>9397350
paella, still trying to perfect the rice
Pork ribs.
I either way overcook them, or undercook.
Being too tender is a thing. I want tender, but not "fall off the bone" tender.
