The Cooking, Drink and Food Forum
I put a bowl with unpopped kernels in a plastic bowl in my microwave. I saw flames, quickly opened the door. Flames died right down, no smoke, bowl didn't scorch.
Am I right? Low fat, some protein. What am I missing? And really, if each "newt" has but one gram of fat hidden in its yummy, cakey self, what's the point of Fat Free Newtons? Is this a trick? What am I missing? I love Fig Newtons. I even...
That most cultured of Rock Bands AC/DC have released several types of own wine named after several of their songs in collabaration with a major Australian Wine producer. Anyone for a glass of You Shook Me All Night Long muscat. More here....
Mine is smoked gouda.
I can think of no topical application for which ranch dressing is not an excellent, if not preferrable, substitute for mayo. Sandwhiches? Ranch Fry dipping? Ranch Even cole slaw. :hoj: Repaste: nil-link 36-C, 11.10.2009
I'm drinking the first of these. I haven't tried any of the others yet but I think I will.
Never would I advocate underage drinking, but it has been known to happen. Recently I walked past the liquor aisle in my supermarket and once again that reminded my that there are alcoholic drinks that few self-respecting adults would ever buy...
Man, when a buzz word catches on, it sticks. With this post I officially whine about the food-marketing band wagon and my already being sick of anything "artisan."
Broccoli and garlic.
Simple poll and conversation thread. We'll be having a fondue tonight. We’ll run probably two oil pots and one cheese. Usually we have beef and chicken for the meats. Carrots, broccoli, cauliflower are the basics for the veggies. There will...
Pick one, and add your own! Fun for the whole family. Unless you don't have a computer- then this game sucks. Or you're really hungry. Then this game might also suck. I'll start:
Ok, let's talk about food quality from the post- WW II era through about the late sixties. Why were there so many crazy recipes? Why was everything so horrible looking? I'm sure part of it must have been the lack of variety of fresh, healthy foods...
Well what are they?
Due to various holiday-related circumstances, I found myself the designated recipient of a box of Russell Stover candy. For those unfamiliar with the name, Russell Stover is the most popular brand of drugstore chocolate sold in America. If a...
I collect cookbooks, great and terrible. The terrible ones are usually sociologically interesting, and sometimes when my middle-American-1960s roots get the better of me, I even secretly like some of the heavily processed, high-fat glop that passed...
Please pick your favorite cola. For fair comparison, let's assume we're talking about drinking from a 12-oz can. :hoj:
The Coffee thread. Inspired from Chat. I found the Starbucks coffee is overpriced and overcooked. I also found the coffee itself is not very good and skunks surprisingly fast. A good Drip Maker is fast and easy. I think it is mostly...
...but Bud Light Lime goes down REAAALLY nice on a very hot day. Make no mistake, I'm as big a beer snob as anyone who ever brewed an all-malt ale with only noble hops and discussed the relative merits of obscure Belgian lambics. But I allow...
In no particular order: Green Apple Banana Strawberry This goes for a lot of things, like Splurpees, not just candy. Fake apple is hideous.
So, since maybe January or a bit before of this year, I've been exploring more Irish whiskies. For me, I haven't yet gone up to Redbreast 12 or, from the other place, the Laphroaig 10 (both are at about the entry level for top-notch stuff: ...
So, two guys at work are retiring. As a member of the local union, I took upon myself to get them retirement presents. After checking with their closer work mates, I confirmed that Scotch might be a good choice. Today I bought one bottle of 10yo...
It's Pancake Day, more formally known as Shrove Tuesday, or even Jif Lemon Day in the UK because of clever advertising. Regardless, it's THE day for eating pancakes on and not just normal pancakes, but all varieties of pancake topping as well. So...
A law has been introduced banning the sale any food product that contains added vitamins. It was introduced in 2004 and Kelloggs had to remove several breakfast cereals and Vegemite was banned, but only now has the law been applied to Marmite. ...
I got 8 out of 10, frankly guessing on two. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/28/spring-produce-quiz_n_1382731.html#quiz_2655 Thank you, Food Network. I am wiser for my time with you.
You must choose one. You cannot pick it out.
Okay look: I was raised by vegetarians. I hung onto that for a long time even after leaving the nest, until I actually sat down and thought critically and realized that, wait, I really like food, so I'm not about to swear off most of it for some...
This is important, after all it's about coffee. So, how do you drink it?
After a great night with lots of takeout pizza, there are sometimes a few slices leftover in the morning. What do you do with them?
We always get the same pizza at our house...sausage and mushroom. The perfect toppings, IMO. It's the one thing in life we manage to agree on. What do you like on your pizza? Do you have disagreements at home about what to get on them? Have...
If you post here, I'd like you to commit to tasting the food you're assigned to try. Name 3 easy to procure food items that you've never tasted. The poster, below you chooses one of the items and you have 3 weeks to taste it and to post a...
Random food question. Do you serve the bolognese on top of the spaghetti, or do you make a hole in the middle of the spaghetti for it?
They're full of Omega-3 fatty acids and they're also pretty high in protein and, at least I assume, pretty cheap. But the thought of eating them is a little scary -- I've never actually tried a can of them, but my impression is that they're...
It sounds as if there are a number of salmon-lovers here, so I may as well post a recipe for Gravlax with Hovmästarsås Smörgås. Gravlax and Hovmästarsås Gravlax 6 tbsp brown sugar 4 tbsp kosher salt 1 bunch fresh dill 1 lb salmon filet
Please pair some type of liquor with a food item. Let's assume you can only consume those two items until you hork. What combos would be nastiest?
This is fascinating! And when did ketchup become "flashy?" http://www.mcdonaldsindia.com/deserts.html As a vegetarian, I am jealous of all the tasty-looking stuff we don't get.
You know, the thing you eat when you don't feel like making dinner, but want something that's not quite junk food?
Our local shop does lots of filled doughnuts. Everyone eats the jam-filled, apple-filled or custard-filled doughnuts. But no-one will even look at the chocolate-filled doughnuts. Would anyone here eat them, or is it just a sugar overload?
This from today's Huffpost: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/zagat/classic-holiday-foods_b_1100040.html#s488058&title=Fruitcake
Tea, of course, being the refined refresher of choice for ladies and gentlemen of all descriptions. But how do you prefer it? Why should coffee get its own way, and there are so many more flavours anyway?
Goddammit I am very upset I looked her name up on google. There's like all these cheesecake photos and whatever. (a) wth is people's problems (b) i don't say leave her alone -- she clearly enjoys her appearance and whatever desire that may...
My kid and I went on one of our regular weekend culture trips today, this time to a fairly well-known German deli near our house. Along with the deli, which is packed with all things pork, there's a nifty assortment of German packaged food, all...
I love lime. I love all citrus, but I LOVE lime. I'm a lime first, orange second, lemon last kinda guy. You? (I'm narfing Skittles right now, BTW)
Olives!
My Vietnamese friend gave me a lot of her herb plants when she moved; most did not survive, but the plant pictured below is a juggernaut - it may take over my entire garden. Apparently it goes by many names, including Indian borage, Spanish thyme,...
Check out this commercial: Tell me if it's just me: This ad makes the product seem sterile and characterless. The colors, even the name, Platinum, feels nothing like something you'd want to ingest. I compare this add to any Sam...
How do you handle it? How would you prefer a polite guest respond if you offer them food that it turns out they dislike? My niece and her boyfriend came over at dinner time tonight, uninvited. I'd made extra, as I'd intended on saving leftovers,...
Here they are, the beers Americans drink most. If this was all they had at the bar, which would you choose?
I love to bake, and over the years have developed a list of the best-of-the-best kinds of homemade cookies that (barring a specific dislike of a particular ingredient like nuts or coconut) everyone loves. It's actually 20 recipes long now, but with...
No kidding: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/21/olive-garden-capers-pesto_n_1163544.html Prefer "cheesy, chickeny things."
