I think I like the cooking part more than eating it. The smells and the picking at it right before it's done.

For pulled pork I usually just make a dry rub with whatever I got, lay down a bed of onions and garlic, and just throw it in for 8 hours low.

Some people use Dr. Pepper. It's ok.

>>8866223
This.

My mate one morning insisted that he microwave the hollandaise sauce ingredients I had just laid out. I told him to go for it to show how shit of an idea it would be.

Fucking disgusting. It formed clumps of scrambled egg, with this extremely watery yolk butter mix that was just depressing to even look at it, no volume or creaminess whatsoever.

For tacos just get a jar of this and cook for 3-6 hours until tender. You can brown the meat beforehand if you feel like it but it doesnt matter that much. One small jar is enough for one pork loin or about 1.5lbs of chicken.

what's wrong with using stock tho

stock is basically just flavored water

>>8869075
Pasta needs space when its cooking so you're probably wasting a ton of stock or cooking your pasta incorrectly

>>8869154
>I don't make my own stock: the post

You know you can just mix stock with water you moron?

Sour what the fuck is this shit? I bought some in the checkout at a slope grocery and it was disgusting. I thought it was a green tea flavored candy cigarette.

>>8871338
Can you not read? It's botan rice candy.

When I was a child I didn't find it too palatable but as an adult my diet has improved considerably so it tastes better to me now that I don't eat sugar all the time.

>>8867435
Honestly cartilage taste so fucking good if prepared in broth or soups what a lucky bastard your parents spoiled you with food anon. The health benefits are it's leaner than a chicken breast and has a fuck ton of protein per gram.

>>8867546
You dislike the ones stuffed with creamy cheese and pepperoni as well? Those taste pretty fucking good and feels pretty much like you are eating a hot pocket.

>>8867658
>Cartilage is mostly protein, enjoy your nogains
Yes, the protein that has less biological value then pretty much every other protein.

Colagen is literally only used in cartilage and fat tissues, your body gets more then enough of that from normal food. You will NOT get any gains from eating it, AT ALL.

Eating pururuca will only clog your fucking arteries with all that bad cholesterol and will not provide you with any decent proteins.

>>8866931
It has hardly any flavor when you cook it, dildo. Just eat it.

>>8866279
I call them that too.

Innards taste just as good as the muscles

>>8867879

For real? I've known people who ate it due to lazyness, but never for flavor. Doesn't it just taste kinda dry and dirty?

>Colagen is literally only used in cartilage and fat tissues, your body gets more then enough of that from normal food. You will NOT get any gains from eating it, AT ALL.

Hey dumbass, your body breaks down the proteins you consume into the constituent amino acids. You get exactly as much benefit from cartilage as you do from any other digestible protein. (Indigestible proteins, such as keratin and hair, just pass through -- at least usually.)

>when they make a cream brule at your table
Still blows my mind. I didn't think you could use a flame like that out on the floor to make a dessert. I just hate how it's always burnt. It's a lot better when you get it at a non pretentious restraunt and they make it good without it being so dark on the outside

>>8871444
hey, this guy still thinks dietary cholesterol intake contributes to high blood cholesterol levels. i bet you think eggs are bad for you too.

>>8867440
I hope you're not European because we eat much much more than cartilage. Unless you're Brit, in which case just fuck off.

Baby carrots aren't actually small carrots, but instead just regular carrots that are ground down and smoothed.

>>8876642
I like to imagine each one gets individually turned on a lathe by a guy behind plexiglass to protect him from getting hit by the carrot shavings

>>8876666
I like to imagine that for every carrot shaver who takes his job seriously and provides lots of consistently good carrots there's a hipster carrot shaver using a drawing knife to make artisan baby purple carrots that cost 10x as much as the regular ones.
