Don't you just love that cheap trashy grocery store bread? Paragraph of ingredients but damn it's good.
When I go to America, it's kind of hard to find loaves of bread I like. Do you guys tend to get it at bakeries if you want something nice?
>>21922861Bakeries aren't plentiful here. Most people make do with what the grocery store has. We aren't traditional because we've barely been around long enough to develop traditions
>>21923056That's a shame.>We aren't traditional because we've barely been around long enough to develop traditionsYou guys have some good culinary traditions that are maybe a little harder for you to see because you're immersed in them.>Coffee>Burgers and dogs>BarbecueYou guys do well in these categories. I find sometimes the basics are lacking, sure, but you do well in some areas too, same as most countries.
>>21923072BBQ is where we shine, I'll give you that. Its style is completely unique to america
>>21922861Whole Foods is pretty much the only grocery store with good bread here. Aldi has "real" bread (only flour water salt and yeast) too but theirs is not very good. It sucks but it is what it is.
Why is everything spicy now? I don't like spicy food, I'll admit it. Just finding potato chips is a challenge now.
>>21922889Because of the influx of brown people in every country. Only the poorest of the poor white people eat spicy slop.
>>21922889in countries that can't maintain high standards of food safety/sanity, they mask it with lots of spices. that is what is happening to the usa
>>21922889>Just finding potato chips is a challenge now.Come on man. Yeah there's definitely a saturation of spicy whatever food but that's just a lie.
>>21922889Nigga shit like a fast food sandwich is like tier-1 levels of spicy If you can't handle that shit your bitch would be better off kys
>>21922889>Just finding potato chips is a challenge now.Maybe if you're illiterate, every store has at the very least plain and sour cream and cheddar
Why did America turn its back on rum raisin? Rum raisin used to be very popular, and now there is only one major brand (Haagen-Dazs) that carries it. Locally, there is only one independent ice cream shop out of several that makes it, the rest do not. It's a very delicious flavor. What happened to cause the decline of rum raisin?
>>21921518same with fancy bon bons. See's Candy used to do rum raisin, now the best they have is a rum nougat with mixed candied fruit.
>>21921544grow up and stop inheriting popular opinionsI'll even help you. Are hotdogs sandwiches? It's doesn't fucking matter. Call it a hotdog sandwich. The point of language is to be understood, assuming we aren't in a English literature workshop. (We aren't)Now eat the fucking raisins before you become one, plebbitor
>>21921696>>21921729I have my own special hate for Haagen Dazs but their version is a revelation if you've only had the nasty gummy supermarket-brand kind from the before time.I'm also sick of everything ice cream having to have chocolate in it. NPCs gobble waxy fake chocolate chips in their shitty mint chocolate chip ice cream in the summer and think peppermint stick, the most refreshing hot weather ice cream ever, is a Christmas-only flavor. Whatever happened to butter brickle? Maple walnut? Even butter pecan is getting rarer. Fruit flavors other than strawberry? And every time I get pistachio I'm grateful the dubai chocolate trend didn't ruin pistachio ice cream with a fudge swirl or whatever.
>>21922984What don't you like about Haagen Dazs? I think it's alright. I like rum raisin too, and those other flavours you mentioned.
>>21921518neverraisins are run by a government-led cartel
Post’emThis is my dinner today, potatoe diarrea with meat rice and cassava flour
>>21921887My moms lover
Most of these aren't that bad
>>21921887Biltong- South African beef jerky.
>>21921883It looked better when it was being prepped than it did after cooking.
>>21921783Id eat this
God, what I wouldn't do for one of these bad boys and an extra spicy Sprite.
>>21921323If they kept it on the menu year-round the hype would be gone and people would realize it sucks ...is what I want to say but most Americans are fat hogs who will eat anything. Has to do with the price of pork, the mcrib is only profitable below a certain threshold.
if they remember to give me napkins i have to wipe off most of the sauce
>>21922852Oh ok, thanks. I haven't been to McDongos in over a decade so I wouldn't know
>>21923004>he mcrib is only profitable below a certain thresholdJust increase the price.All McDs burgers are overpriced now yet people buy them anyway.Why should only the McRib of all things be the one exception?
>>21923062Because it's not good enough to justify the price increase. It's a novelty people might eat once per year. It wouldn't survive on the permanent menu
recommend valentines day wines, post what you're drinking during the super bowl :)
>>21917869Sounds like a more reductive zero-zero red thats had some malo. Honestly if you think its not acceptable you’re in the right to send it back cause the bar would rather keep good reputation than take a hit on a 5oz.>>21917994Here in Leafland a typical Jura wine is usually no less than $65 CAD/€42 which would get you entry level or negoc stuff like the more basic Les Valseuses bottlings. Whenever id see Labet here it usually came in just north of €75 which is sad as i also know some shops in Arbois that sell similar quality smaller producers for less than half that price. Still sad i missed out on a bottle of Lannay when i had the chance.
>>21922035yeah, all the heredia white and rose wines are knock-your-socks-off tier. I haven't bought any since the normoids found out about them and pumped the prices so high you need a 30 year mortgage to buy one but man, those were good wines. still are, I assume. not like I'll ever know
>>21918272You’re probably drinking bad zero/zero wine from a producer that likely doesnt keep their cellar clean.If you want cleaner natural wine try anything from Catherine and Pierre Breton in the Loire or Victor Sornin in Beaujolais. If you want heavier red Domaine de L’Ecu does good cheap Syrah.
>>21918024no I mean like turley's dry white zinfandel, I'm not saying it's a bad wine, but it isn't necessary, other than to prove it's possible, and to be a contrarian hipster shithead. semi-sweet blanc de noirs still wines were invented for a reason and that's because they're delicious, they just got a bad rap because there's so much bottom shelf box wine made in that style. if turley really wants to be an iconoclast and "rock the boat" they should make a semi-sweet white zin, but they won't because they're pussies.
all my spring allocations bum rushing me at the same time, the cellar deepens...
Be honest, what drink goes with this?
>>21922796You... You recognize her thumbnails?Do you have any idea how creepy that sounds
Northern Rhone Syrah.
>>21922318If that's a bistecca alla Fiorentina it's overcooked.>>21922277A young, fruity red with not too much personality. Grape variety or country of origin is irrelevant. Just ask the wine guy in your local supermarket what they have. Save your money for better steak.
>>21922282>>21922285^^^ poor fags pretending to be sophisticated
Carmenere, but honestly any wine with decent acidity should be good with it, even Champagne
>Mogs anything else you can season fries with.
don't they use some kind of tomato powder in europe
>>21922509
>>21922516>put salt on chicken>put chicken on counter>wait>nothingyou're a fucking liar
>Australian owned
>>21922692I would never buy anything with that on the label
gotta have my PROTEIN dude fucking PROTEIN
>>21922524>Protein!!!>(posts slop)Every time.
>>21922531I never implied protein was hard to find before, I just like the fact I have more options to consoom it.Maybe think about giving this a read anon, 4chan might be too advanced for your level reading comprehension...
>>21922544I just don't think that adding what is likely whey protein powder to everything is equivalent to eating a chicken breast, steak, salmon or eggs.You are definitely getting something extra when you consume animal protein, or even vegetarian protein sources.
>>21922536Very true, if you eat any meat in the day you probably got all the protein you need unless you are an athlete or body build>>21922552Exactly, its cheap as whey protein that they over produced so now they add it to shit that does not need it. Eat some actual meat and get some vitamin B and D with it instead of just whey protein. Also healthy fats with the protein.
>>21922539Thats crazy where do I get this in america
Why does the food industry try to psy-op people into thinking chickpeas don’t taste like dirt?
>>21922630This is gay.
>>21922675Not him, but I'm also gay.Life has been very hard for me. I hurt every day and rarely does anyone say anything nice to me. My whole life is sour.
>>21922533This is backwards
>>21922586Spotted the brown tastelet over seasoner
>>21922525inb4 da JOOS.
What kind of cookware should someone new to cooking get? What kinds of materials and linings would be good? Any particular brands that make good stuff for relatively cheap?
>>21923027Just buy a check frypan from your grocery story.Get stainless steel pan as well for like rice and soup and boiling stuff.That'll get you started.
>>21923032cheap* not check, sorry, my Big Arch walked across the keyboard
>>21923027Stainless steel everything. Silicon or wooden instruments. Good brands to get started with are Cuisinart, Tramontina, and Cooks Standard.
Stainless steel is the way to go. You don't have to worry about seasoning it and you can absolutely go to town on it with metal utensils/scrubbers for cleaning.
"Umami" doesn't actually mean anything, it's a buzzword people say to sound sophisticated and trendy
The litany of food additives in the mainstream food supply is likely having a large effect on our neurological and bodily systems.
>>21914244>>21914244Yeah, big deal. Sushi is just a poor fisherman's lunch and it's been treated as something special since the '80s.
>>21914244>seething at the JapaneseKek.
>>21922880THIS. They are obsessed. More obsessed than the weebs kek
>>21916963>convict scum moneyYuk
Whiskey generalstop buying more whiskey than you can drink edition Previous thread >>21898665
>>21922585I've never had it myself but most reviews I see about old forester barrel proof complain about it being hot as fuck. And it's NAS (roughly 4 to 6 years). I don't understand why people pay $80-100 for that.
>>21922821It was too hot when I first opened it but after a couple of months it’s a lot better. I like it but I wouldn’t buy another bottle.
1924 10yo and sbbs both rye and bourbon have been sitting on shelves in my area for months now They even marked down sbbs to 82 bucks and they are still not selling lol
>>21922970for context sbbs in total wine in my area is 90 bucks, facebook boomers were asking 120 not too long ago
>>21922602Deets??
What do you drink today Ladies and Gents?
>>21919299I might have some bottled Stella Artois later and picrel. My brother also works at a quite prestigious brewery so I always get expensive free beers that they can't sell because of packaging errors when I pass by his place which is pretty sweet.
>>21922064Rule of thumb is that if something has a lot of really nasty and overpowering spices added to it or if it's too sweet, you aren't actually supposed to drink it straight and it's for mixing. Find a good recipe, mix it and it's going to be great.No one teaches you this shit. I was gifted a gin and it was the worst drink I've ever had so I mixed it with tonic. Tonic is also fucking disgusting, but you mix the two together and it's one of the best drinks I've ever had.
>>21922142Don't have much experience with Japanese gins but here it goes:ki no tea is a tea gin and tea comes through nicely, I like itother one from the same distillery is ki no bi straight london dry, very goodOn the other end is Roku gin, overhyped and tasteless.
>>21919299I'm not drinking because I only do it on the weekend. It's 6pm Monday here. On Friday I drank two bottles of red wine, one was a Spanish blend, the other a Shiraz. On Saturday and Sunday I drank lager and vodka. I don't know how much beer I drank, maybe something like 18 x 500ml can/bottles over two days? but I had something like 8-10 different brands. There's one dedicated off licence (liquor store) in my town all the other places are part of a shop, like in a supermarket, and this place has these random Czech lagers and things of that nature.
>>21919299yeah, it's feeling like a "two Coors Banquets (stubby bottle) after I get home from work" kind of day
Those were the days, huh?
>>21920566You're right but this whole website is horseshit. Irony poisoned retards embrace that for some reason.
>>21920565Wheres your thread then dicksucker?
>>21920563It looks better when you take it out of the plastic.
‘ston’ket chicken parm. would not suggest
I remember my dad taking my sister and me to Boston Market after picking us up from school because he didn’t know how to cook anything.
