Have you ever been tricked into buying an ingredient due to it being overhyped and found it kind of disappointing? I bought pic related because a bunch of cooking youtube channels hyped it up but it just tastes like chemicals to me.
Why is this trendy right now exactly?It's always spicy stuff too like hot honey and Sriracha
>>22115735theyre aggressively expanding into more stores right now. theyre shilling it hard so people will recognize it when they go to the store. it used to have one facing in one store i went to and now I've seen it have full endcaps at both asian and western stores, and 3 or 4 varieties on the shelf. shame though since it's shit.
>>22115735probably because it seems stimulating and exciting>>22115753a lot of people obsessed with spicy things are white
>>22115724>it just tastes like chemicalsNo shit, everything is made of chemicals.
>>22115758As plato said if you derive your pleasure in life from food you're no better than an animal
>>22115735Hot honey was such a garbage meme. Glad it's dead.
>>22115780Are those hekkin PEPPERONI CUPS!? With hot honey and burrata!?!?!?
>>22115780it's not even dead yet. i just saw a major chain restaurant released a new hot honey salmon thing. its the trend that wont die
>>22115724is this a trend? I have been getting it for years and it hasn’t gotten any easier to find. I have to go to asian grocery stores, all the normal ones near me only carry fried chili in oil which doesn’t hold a candle to spicy chili crisp.
>>22115724>Have you ever been tricked into buyingno.
>>22115798>salmonnot food.>>22115735because spicy is good on pork and chicken.
>>22115774>implying man can only derive pleasure from one thingwhat kind of world was plato really in?
>>22115809This brand of chili crisp is literally sold at Walmart, anon.
>>22115724>ingredientIt's a condiment, mate. Cooking this stuff removes the crispiness and unconcentrates its flavor.
>>22116085Really? Never saw an ad for that great adult toy (not that kind) that looked so cool and then was totally underwhelmed after buying and using it and considered returning it? Never bought that awesome looking burger from an ad only to be grossed out by its flavor or size? Never saw a sweet deal on some item only to realize it was so cheap because it sucks balls? Really? I'd bet you get tricked into buying things on a daily basis.
>>22115724>Chili bean sauce badTry another brand.
>>22115724It's not bad but I was hoping it would have either more spice or more flavor, the texture is its most redeeming quality.
>>22116241There are people who are slaves to advertising, people who are influenced but stay aware of its effects, and people who believe they are above it all and it doesn't influence their behavior at all. The first and last groups are effectively the same.
>>22115774imagine taking advice from a pagan homosexual.
>>22115724Kind of when I bought maple syrup to try out and was largely disappointed.
>>22115724I also don't like this and I want to. I love Kum Lee kee chili crisp oil.
This isn't even spicy, but it's got a lot of MSG which is what niggas really crave (including me).
>>22115798It shouldn't unless it gets too expensive, honey mustard was the original hot honey. I used to mix hot sauce and honey for chicken myself.>>22115774That quote would be good on a /ck/ banner.
It's the funko pop of the culinary world And I just know some of you on this Board have funko pops.
>>22119310I have been accused of liking funko pops but I keep having to google them to remind myself of what they are. It's like a pez dispenser fucked a kewpie doll and had an abortion together right?
>>22119315It's normie garbage
>>22115724There are chili crisps out there that are way better
>>22119335I'm not so sure about that, I know some normies but the only place I've ever heard of these is 4chan and the posts always sound inceled up
>>22115763lol heck'n gottem my fair chap. I would give you an upvote if I knew how to do it on this frumping website.
>>22115724It's just super underwhelming for me. I've tried it several times on different dishes and you can barely tell it's there.
>>22119343What the fuck are you talking about
>>22119355You need to use like half a jar (800 calories) to make a difference.
>>22119339I'm not making my own fuck offNot worth the effort
I've never bought meme condiments
>>22115724It's good but the store bought stuff isn't where it's at. I followed this recipe and it was a night and day difference. Yes it took some effort but it made a shit ton of it I gave some away to friends and family and it lasted months. I highly suggest trying to make your own just once so you know what it should really taste like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wgZ7s3YxWI
>>22120583Forgot to mention, pay very close attention to the temperatures and even aim a little lower. I burned the shit out of my first patch because I let the temp of the oil creep up and it turned all the powder black. I suggest cutting the temp a good 20 degrees below what he suggests so even if it carries over a bit you won't go above burning temp. Don't try to eyeball it, get a thermometer and make sure you don't go too high it will instantly ruin the whole thing and you'll have to start over.
>>22120583>>22120584What did I JUST say I'm not wasting my time making my own
>>22120595Your loss, I can only lead a retard to the kitchen I can't force him to eat good food.
>>22119355Make your own, you can actually make it spicy and extremely flavorful. It really isn't that much effort for how much you get out of it. It's a very fulfilling project don't be a bitch just do it you'll thank me later.
>>22115724Try Lee Kum Kee's brand. It's got way more notable, smoky flavor to it.
>>22115724Would like to try the beef lao gon ma that supposedly can't be imported so I guess I've been bamboozled by this cunning chink.>>22116241Shieet white boy finna crash out over a burger.>>22121139I get Lee Kee Kum of a night if I haven't fapped for a week, is it the same?
>>22115724i fell for the exact same meme, except for the fact that i actually liked it.i'm buying the big jars now because my dad likes it too after trying it.bloody expensive tho
>>22118017one of these days i'll have to try and buy some MSG
>>22121435It's called accent, you'll find it by the salt in the grocery. Not expensive. You don't need much of it in a dish.
>>22115774That nigga Plato probably ate olive bussy don’t listen to him
>>22120583Botulism
>>22115735>right nowthey were trendy even a decade ago, lotta English-language Asian food blogs would push it as some nostalgic taste. I like it but it's not some miracle sauce (that would be homemade XO sauce)
>>22116241I got tricked by OPS2 magazine into buying Driv3r, never again.
>>22119315They were the next generation of Beanie Babies
>>22120584I refuse to get a thermometer, one day my hand will be able to pinpoint the exact temperature just by hovering over a pot.
>>22121139Lee Kum Kee is generally better but harder to find, in my city only one asian mart sells any
See kay tricked me into buying Secret Aardvark "hot sauce" like a decade ago. I didn't know but there were actually shills from the company spamming the board with multiple 'vark threads a day and they convinced me to 'vark. The sauce was bad so I chucked it. It was a gross tomato salsa in a squeeze bottle with the barest hint of spice.
>>22115724>brother currently going through a Chinese phase>constantly whipping up gross "authentico" Chinese dishes>uses this constantly but doesn't know how to cook>believes he's some Michelin star chef and refuses any feedback or guidance>burns it every single time>have to evacuate the house because the entire place smells like chili crispI fucking hate this ingredient and wish they never made it.
>>22125390You add it at the end like sesame oil.
