Since it came up in that gook girl complaining about cultural miscegenation post, I present to you the conceptually and visually cursed but secretly delicious Filipino favorite: sweet potato and cheese ice cream with cashews. Enjoy, @X.

We enjoyed this one in the hotel after a day spent swimming/paddling through a cave river and having barbecue at an outdoor karaoke venue. The singers were mostly doing

Why did I join a waitlist for Bluesky, wait three weeks and then sign up using my actual Gmail account? Was it just to watch Bardfinn have public cybersex with members of his polycule?

Of course not. My true passion is for Bardfinn's tasty recipes.

Sadly lost now to the Twitter void, the demise of Cooking With Penny Volumes I to III left me feeling incomplete and today it brings me such true joy to share with you these latest culinary delights, from Bardfinn's plate to your eyes.

Hello !boozers

Here's a very basic old fashioned recipe. If your reaction is "this is literally a basic old fashion" - you are correct.

During my experimentation these are the core ingredients and steps required to make a good Old Fashioned.

By following these steps to a T I believe you will end up with a better old fashion than most bars.

Ingredients

1.) Whiskey Glass - Having a basic "rocks" glass is a decent idea, it's more trendy to have "tulip" style but a "rocks" glass is the traditional choice.

2.) Ice Mold - I have found ice molds are totally worth it. The interplay of the ice and spirit is key in an Old Fashion and the molds let the ice melt at a slower, more consistent rate.

3.) Metal Toothpick - Very nice to work with vs wood or whatever. Cleans easy, cheap and looks way better.

4.) Measuring Device - I am personally using a small jigger, knowing how much your measuring device holds is essential.

5.) Peeler / Good knife skills - We'll use this to get the top of the rind of the orange.

6.) Fresh Orange - We will be using the oils in the skin.

7.) Bitters - A bottle of proper Angostura Bitters will last you forever, this is what we'll be using in this recipe.

8.) Luxardo Cherries - These SoBs are expensive but 100% worth it. You should need to use one or two per drink so they do last.

9.) Simple Syrup - Simple Syrup is literally sugar water. Very old recipes would call for sugar cubes and grinding them into the drink but this is silly. You can make this yourself buy boiling 1 part water and then adding 1 part sugar (i.e. 1 cup sugar to 1 cup boiling water). Put it in a recycled bottle and top with vodka to store for months.

10.) Spirit - I will be using Bourbon Whiskey but you can be pretty creative with this. I basically recommend any aged base spirit (Whiskey, Bourbon, Rye Whiskey, Scotch Whisky, Brandy, Aged Rum, Cognac, etc). The sweetness of your spirit is what you'll use to gauge the syrup amount.

Steps

1.) Add ice to your glass.

2.) Measure 90ml of your spirit. A usual pour is 60ml but rocks drinks are conventionally 1.5x.

3.) Add a splash of simple syrup. this ranges from 10ml-20ml, depending on your spirits sweetness. I usually do 15ml on unfamiliar bottles and then adjust from there.

4.) Add three dashes of bitters. Stir.

5.) Stab your cherry and fight with it until you make it in the glass

6.) Cut off a very thin slice of only the top of the orange rind. That's where all the orange oil is.

7.) Fold the rind just-so above your drink so, if you look closely you'll see the oil spray across the glass. I can get a solid two spritzes out of a cut. Drop it into the drink after.

8.) Enjoy!

For example for me, it's something like cheese (good quality block cheese), tomato, salt, pepper, some Italian herbs and spices pickles.

Hey?

What the FRICK is wrong with mayos?!

give me some suggestions for what food to seal, ala this https://rdrama.net/h/food/post/221873/an-epic-tale-of-mcds-burgers

edit: i mean more like meme foods to seal btw

Sorry, the lighting in my kitchen is still ugly.

Anyway, since it's holiday season, here's a basic and extremely flexible recipe for stock you can make with leftover poultry carcasses and maybe poultry meat. Instead of making it immediately after roasting the bird, you can do it once you know how much leftover meat you're going to finish from your roast(s) so you can throw meat scraps in too. I've also included added alt instructions for making stock with cheap fresh chicken meat if you don't have carcasses.

It's incredibly easy to make stock so this more serves as a reminder that you can and should. Once you make it you should reserve it for soups or stews that really benefit from homemade stock, like caldo verde or ribollita or whatever.

Ingredients

• One large turkey carcass or 1-2 smaller poultry carcasses + as much leftover meat as you have (for this stock, I used a small turkey + duck carcass plus some leftover turkey. Turkey makes a particularly good stock)

• Alternative fresh meat stock: 1-2lb chicken feet, scrubbed and nails cut off + a family pack of wings and/or drumsticks. You can forgo the feet if you're a pussey. If you only have the carcass of one chicken or duck and no leftover meat, you can use fresh wings/drumsticks in addition to that.

• 4 little, 2 medium, or 1 huge non-red onions

• 1 big carrot or 2 little carrots

• 1 little bulb of garlic or 1/2 large bulb of garlic

• 1-2 celery stalks

• fresh herbs -- parsley is a must, but you can add whatever else you need; if you know what you're going to use the stock for then check the ingredients for it and include you think might taste good (I added thyme and sage in addition to parsley this time)

• 1 large bay leaf

• a swig of acid (i used 2 leftover lemon wedges this time; apple cider vinegar or white vinegar are fine)

• a slice or two of fresh ginger

• a few peppercorns (optional)

• 1-2 dried shiitake mushrooms (can also sub with a smaller amount of dried bolete/porcini) (optional)

• water

Instructions

• chop the onions into halves or quarters; do the same to the carrots and celery and throw into pot

• if you're using a whole bulb of garlic, halve the whole bulb and throw it all into pot; if not, peel the garlic cloves, crush or halve, and throw into pot (if you see black mold on the garlic skins then use the latter instructions even if you're adding a whole bulb)

• dump your bones and scraps into the pot, along with all of the remaining dry ingredients

• add water until it covers the bones with a swig of the acid you're using

• simmer covered for ~6 hrs, stirring every so often. Adjust dry ingredients and acid to taste if the stock tastes too mild every few hours. after a while, the meat should be falling apart and the smaller bones should get weak; I like to break the bones for extra flavor when possible.

• you can uncover and boil down the liquid if you don't think it'll fit into a container you have; just stir more frequently to make sure that nothing's sitting unboiled on the surface for too long

• after a few hours, the stock should get sticky from collagen. if it's not then you either don't have enough meat or have too much water. In this case, uncover and boil it down (though you will end up with less stock)

• once you've reached the 6 hr mark, turn off the heat, let cool, then pour it into a container through a colander

• you need to chill it so the fat rises and solidifies. skim the fat off the top when you're ready to use it. a proper homemade stock will have a consistency ranging from half-cooled jello to a rigid gelatin mold. if it's the latter then you can usually add some water when you're using the stock and it'll still taste pretty strong; if it's the former then you're more likely to have to add more stock or a bullion cube when you're using it.

If you adulterate it with water or stock, it should be good for 2 different soup/stew recipes. It should also keep for a while, though the last stock I made with carcasses from the freezer spoiled quickly.

Fan of BIPOC? Looking to get a headstart on your party? Tired of the same premade shit from cartons? Well guess what - I've found a nifty little thing for you!

TL;DW: Ethanol (AKA the thing in your beer/wine/cocktail that makes you feel the funny feeling) can act as a preservative, especially in high concentrations. That, along with the other property of being able to kill germs and other microbes through protein denaturation (i.e breaks down protein, which ultimately causes the cells to lose function and eventually dry out), means that by combining liquor (rum/brandy/whiskey/whatever you use) into an egg BIPOC recipe (especially one that doesn't require heating and stirring/tempering of the eggs like others) and letting it age in the fridge for some time, you not only reduce the risk of getting sick (for whatever bacteria that may contaminate the BIPOC will be greatly if not totally killed off), but you also can make your egg BIPOC even more flavorful and rich, giving even more depth to the concoction!

Granted, this does require a lot of booze , and there is always the risk that raw eggs have , so if you're cautious, then maybe consider an alternative. But hey, if YOU have the time, money, and ability to do this...why not take a chance? Sure beats having yet another glass of the prepackaged stuff, I'd say...

!boozers !christmaschads Happy Holidays!

Ttongsul is a traditional Korean medicine with a 9% alcohol content. The poo of a human child between 4 and 7 years old is refrigerated for 3-4 days, mixed with water, divided into smaller pieces, and fermented overnight. The vat with the poo starts to smell incredibly strongly of feces, even worse than the first day of fermentation. The poo/water mixture is poured through a sieve and is mixed with 70% boiled non-glutinous rice, 30% glutinous rice, and yeast. The non-glutinous rice contains a lot of protein, important for the fermentation process. The glutinous rice is there for its supposed anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, as well as to improve the taste. The fermentation process activates the good bacteria and kills the bad bacteria. 

The resulting mixture is left to ferment for at least seven days in a clay pot, wrapped in a blanket to maintain a temperature of 30 to 37 degrees Celsius. If not fermented enough, it's dangerous to drink, but when perfectly ripe, this alcoholic drink is claimed to cure pain, broken bones, bruises, inflammation, and even epilepsy. The yellow-brownish liquid is strained and looks like a combination of sewer slime and vomit, potentially with small pieces of poo still floating around. taste is a bit sour and similar to rice wine. Poo wine has a faint poo smell and can leave a poo smell on your breath. It contains about 9% alcohol. The smell and the visual appearance of this alcoholic drink are worse than the actual taste of it.

Back again as promised to flex on @pizzashill and @Poj's disgusting animal tier eating habits and bring you, rdrama, my favorite dish in my arsenal: my take on Steak au Poivre. This dish is ridiculously simple and mostly revolves around sauce and a bit of prep. This is truly impossible to frick up and is so good any thot who consumes this will want to consume your sauce as compensation.

Ingredients:

>Couple of shallots (or half an onion if shallots unavailable)

>About 12-16oz of white or baby bella mushrooms

>Garlic

>New york strip steak

>Heavy cream

>A bottle of decent cognac (will heavily recommend Courvoisier VS or VSOP, its subtle notes really come out on this) - im using pierre ferrand 1840 formula.

>Butter

>Salt, black pepper, cumin, coriander, dill weed.

I will not measure fricking anything here, just dont be r-slurred and use your eyeballs.

Prep:

Start by pouring yourself some cognac as you cook and prep because you're not a cute twink b-word.

Next, dice the mushrooms as finely as you can, get real choppy until they are as micro as you can get them. Same thing with the shallots, though in my case its half a white onion because my grocery store didnt have shallots in stock. Take your steaks and season with salt and pepper. Get some garlic pieces minced super fine or just be a chad like me and use a garlic press instead.

Cook:

Chef up those mushrooms over butter and let it really shrink down as it loses water and absorbs all that fat. Season with black pepper and cumin, especially cumin since it pairs well with the shrooms earthy and meaty flavor.

When theyre cooked, set them aside on a plate.

Next up is the steaks, (yes, real steaks @pizzashill, not frozen salisbury steaks) throw them on butter and cook as desired. I prefer rare, you can be a b-word if you want and go medium tho. Once done, set them aside to rest as you continue batching up that sauce.

In the same pan, throw in the onions and let em sweat for a bit. Sprinkle some salt on them and once they're almost done, add garlic and let that cook for like 45s to a min on medium heat. Throw in 2oz of cognac to deglaze the pan and let the onions soak it all up (1 to 3 mins, and you absolutely want to inhale the alcohol fumes to get drunk off them).

Once reduced, heavy cream goes in the pan with butter and the mushrooms. As the sauce reduces, add in black pepper, salt to taste, coriander (for a natural spicy sweetness), cumin and dill weed (dill weed truly shines here.

Throw in a splash of corn starch mixed with water and stir it in to help thicken up the sauce. Stir occasionally and give it time to thicken up/really have the flavors blend in (just keep tasting it once its simmering). Once the sauce is tasting like liquid heaven, cut the steak into strips as thick as desired and plate.

Pour a metric ton of sauce on that shit and enjoy (seriously, dont give a frick about looks, eat the sloppy mess its amazing). You can also plate it over rice or with a side of mashed potatoes to just have the sauce enrich that.

@MrsFrozenClaus, as the resident foid go make this and confirm to the rest of the site that this is in fact so good you'd suck my peepee if I had made it for you irl.

It's said that Mao's son was napalm bombed by the Americans who saw the cooking fire from him cooking egg fried rice

Hence posting about egg fried rice around the son's birthday in October 24th or around the date of his death on November 25th might get you into trouble

Found out that the ultimate egg fried rice chef in China got cancelled because of this

Good fried rice battle scene from a Thai cooking movie

Egg fried rice protests are a form of internet protest used by Chinese internet users against the government, occurring yearly around October 24, the birthday of Mao Anying, son of Mao Zedong, or around November 25, the date of his death. Posting recipes for egg fried rice is done as a subtle jab at the death of Anying during the Korean War; such posts are usually blocked or taken down by Chinese officials and can lead to sanctions against those involved.^[1]^

Background

Mao Anying worked on the staff of General Peng Dehuai in northeastern Korea during the Korean War. On the morning of November 25, 1950, he had overslept. According to some accounts, once awake, he stole eggs from the general's supplies and was cooking breakfast for himself despite orders that staff were only to cook at night for fear of American air raids. As he was making a pan of egg fried rice, he is said to have perished in a napalm attack by American forces on the area, who were drawn to the cooking fire.^[1]^

While some doubt the story's authenticity,^[1]^ internet users have taken to posting egg fried rice recipes yearly during October or November as a form of protest against the Chinese government.^[2]^

Consequences

In October 2020, food blogger Wang Gang posted an egg fried rice recipe and was widely denounced by officials and forced to post an apology.^[1]^ He was accused of using the video post as a "malicious political innuendo" insulting to Mao's legacy.^[3]^

On October 23, 2021, a regional branch of the China Unicom company posted a fried rice recipe and had their account on Weibo suspended, and all replies to the post were frozen.^[1]^ The account was shut down as the post "insulted the People's Volunteers" fighting with the North Korean communists during the war.^[2]^ A man who posted a comment on October 8, 2021, about fried rice deemed "obnoxious" by authorities was jailed for ten days.^[2]^ He is quoted as having posted, "The greatest result of the Korean War was egg fried rice: thank you, egg fried rice! Without egg fried rice, we [China] would be no different from North Korea. Sadly, there's not that big a difference nowadays."^[4]^

Official response

Controlling posts about egg fried rice during October and November and publicly shaming those involved "is seemingly a condoned method of constructing an internet that conforms to socialist core values."^[4]^ The fried rice story involving Anying's death has never been confirmed and is said to enrage Chinese nationalists and Communist Party officials.^[5]^ The Chinese Academy of History (中国历史研究院), a state-run institute set up in 2019, denounced the fried rice story as rumors spread by those with "vicious hearts" aiming to "gravely dwarf the heroic image of Mao Anying's brave sacrifice." The academy, citing declassified documents, stated Mao's position was compromised through intercepted radio transmissions.^[6]^

It's a type of curry but without spices just jackfruit + coconut milk + bagoong (essentially shrimp version of fish sauce) + onion, garlic and tomato. We like it with tofu fried after marinating in coconut milk and chili paste. @Redactor0

World leaders from developed nations will be pressured to "curb their excessive appetite for meat" during the United Nations' upcoming COP28 annual climate conference, Bloomberg News reported Saturday. "Nations that over-consume meat will be advised to limit their intake while developing countries --- where under-consumption of meat adds to a prevalent nutrition challenge --- will need to improve their livestock farming," wrote Bloomberg Journ*list Agnieszka de Sousa.

The UN's anti-meat agenda is part of the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization's (FAO) COP28 "roadmap" for limiting the rise in global temperatures by 1.5C, per the Paris climate agreement.

The FAO insists the meat industry is responsible for destroying the planet via methane and nitrogen emissions. However, contrary to the UN's suggestion, the science is not "settled" on livestock emissions. For example, a group of UC Riverside researchers discovered this year that methane traps heat in Earth's atmosphere and creates cooling clouds that offset 30 percent of the Earth's surface warming. In other words, livestock farming is likely cooling the planet, therefore counteracting global warming.

Despite the unsettled science, FAO plans to create "transformative change" in the food industry. The FAO is also committed to aiding countries in implementing the "Emirates Declaration on Sustainable Agriculture, Resilient Food Systems, and Climate Action," a food "transformation" pledge.

These food "transformations" aim to drastically limit or eradicate meat consumption, among other things. "If we don't tackle the livestock problem, we are not going to solve climate change. The key problem is overconsumption," said Dhanush Dinesh, the founder of Clim-Eat, a climate change organization. The Eat-Lancet Commission, another environmentalist organization, recommends that people consume no more than 15.7 kilograms of meat annually. The average American consumes about 127 kilograms of meat each year.

Some climate aims are even more radical. The C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, a globalist Michael Bloomberg-run climate organization made up of nearly 100 cities across the globe, including 14 American cities, aims to completely eradicate meat and dairy consumption by 2030.

Climate activists tend to be upfront about their goals of curbing "overconsumption," but they're often coy about how they'll reach their goals. This is because the only way climate activists are going to dramatically limit or completely eliminate meat consumption is by force. The main way they have been attempting to compulsively limit meat consumption is by shutting down farms.

Last year, the government of the Netherlands announced plans to forcibly buyout as many as 3,000 farms to meet 2030 climate goals. The affected Dutch farmers would be banned from starting farms anywhere else in the European Union (EU). Another way to shutter farms is by driving them into bankruptcy. The Netherlands also subjected farmers to untenable climate regulations on fertilizer and livestock, giving many no choice but to close down.

It's not just the Dutch whom radical climate policies have impacted. In 2021, Sri Lanka banned chemical fertilizer, resulting in massive crop failures and sky-high fuel prices. Since then, Sri Lanka has descended into bloody political unrest and economic ruin.

Using authoritarian measures to destroy farmer's livelihoods is bad enough, but consider the nutritional deficiencies posed by a meatless world. Meat, which has been a staple of the human diet for thousands of years, contains essential, bioavailable amino acids that simply are not found in plant protein.

Climate activists want meat replaced with the consumption of lab-grown meat (which could ironically be detrimental to the environment) and bugs (it turns out that's not just a "racist" right-wing conspiracy). But no one is going to eat grasshoppers if ribeyes are still an option. The only way to force people to eat bugs and lab-grown meat is by artificially causing food shortages, which is already a potential threat in Europe thanks to the war on Dutch farmers --- the EU's largest meat exporters.

Artificial food shortages will mean thousands, if not millions, could die from starvation and nutritional deficiencies. Perhaps that's part of the plan. Environmentalists believe each individual person's carbon footprint is detrimental to the environment, and many actively encourage young people to forgo having children for the sake of the planet.

"Should I have children, their greenhouse gas emissions will cause roughly fifty square meters of sea ice to melt every year that they are alive," wrote journ*list Elizebeth Rush in her book The Quickening: Creation and Community at the Ends of the Earth. "Just by existing, they will make the world a little less livable for everyone, themselves included."

Rush isn't alone in her climate anxiety. A recent study found that 39 percent of young people are "hesitant to have children" because of climate change. Among them are celebrities like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who publicly vowed to limit their family size to two children max in the name of "climate change."

The UN's amped-up war on meat, debuting at COP28, is elitist and hypocritical. A recent study found that the world's richest 1 percent account for more carbon emissions than the poorest 66 percent. Indeed, expect that the Great Reset poster boy King Charles, Fortune 500 CEOs, and esteemed politicians from around the globe will travel to COP28 in private jets, as they do every year.

Expect them to be eating meat, as well. According to de Sousa, the summit will be only two-thirds plant-based. Why not 100 percent? Because the global leaders attempting to dictate how the masses travel, eat, and reproduce have no interest in reigning in their lavish, polluting lifestyles.

If COP28 attendees really want to curb emissions, they would start with themselves, but of course, they won't. Rest assured, the leadership at the World Economic Forum, C40 Cities, and the UN have no intention of giving up private jets or steaks. They won't even pretend to be environmentally conscious while attending COP28. Their target is regular people, and in question is how we eat, travel, and our very existence.

So I have a bunch of fresh okra/ladyfingers my dad planted and Im bored of cooking them the way so I googled a bit for other methods and it seems like theres probably like only frying it

my heart is telling me Seems interesting enough and Im open to trying it but Ive never heard of okra being fried like this so I have to wonder if its worth it??? Should I fry them whole or cut them totally into smaller pieces???

Also I have a feeling I cant find corn meal here so what would be a good substitute??? Ive seen this kentucky seasoned flour in the supermarkets so Im wondering if its really a thing in burgerland and if its a good substitute for corn meal???

literally, 谢谢

@bartendercel

his thread: https://rdrama.net/h/food/post/224288/bartendercels-pan-asian-curry-rice

I made a few substitutions and changes based on what I already have and what I know I like.

hoisin instead of oyster sauce

rice vinegar instead of mirin

no coconut milk (I don't have anything against coconut milk but I wouldn't have used the whole can and what the frick do I do with a mostly full leftover can of coconut milk)

no honey (I prefer my Asian dishes on the less sweet side and the hoisin and gochujang bring enough sweetness for me)

add smoked paprika, cayenne, MSG to the sauce

no coriander or fennel (don't have them on hand and they're not spices I regularly use)

chicken breast instead of thighs

no spring onions (people are gonna hate but I don't really like spring onions, I won't pick them off if they're already on a dish but I never use them when I cook)

Overall I really liked it. Gochujang is the dominant flavor (no surprise given the 2.5 tbsp lol) but everything else is there in the background too. I'll definitely make it again.

Seeing the recent posts by @pizzashill and @Poj showcasing their disgusting subhuman culinary experiences, I figured I'd make an anti-Pizzashill and contribute to the food hole by posting my own dinner (and lunch prep) for the night: @bartendercel's Pan-Asian Curry Rice. Recipe and pics below:

Sauce:

Make a batch of sauce to toss on everything at the end. The sauce I make is as follows:

1 tbsp oyster sauce

2.5 tbsp gochujang chili paste (the o foods one is great and cheap on amazon)

1.5 tbsp mirin

1-2 tsp soy sauce

Ginger paste and crushed garlic to taste

Coconut milk to reduce heat and add flavor

1 tbsp honey to sweeten

Splash of Sesame Oil to enrich it.

Optional: smoked paprika and cayenne pepper powder, chinese five spice (minimal amount) to taste. If you want this spicier, less or no coconut milk and use water to increase volume of sauce.

Prep:

Buy some presliced mushrooms and one large white onion. Dice the onion and then dice about 1kg of boneless chicken thighs (i know bone in is more flavor but I'm too lazy to deal with that shit rn). Additionally, if you dont forget like I did, you chop and toss in some spring onions towards the end of the cooking process. Season your chicken with salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, turmeric and fennel.

Cook:

Toss rice in the rice cooker and when you've got about 7-10 mins left, heat up the wok. When heated, throw in some peanut oil and swirl to season the wok. Cook the mushrooms first and season with a bit of cumin. Once thats mostly ready, throw in some lao gan ma chili oil and the diced onion. Season that with a bit of salt and some curry powder. Next, once those are done, throw in your diced chicken and stir occasionally to cook thoroughly on all sides.

Once the chicken is done or almost done, throw in the sauce (optional splash of sesame oil again)

then toss in the rice and stir to combine.

The rice will soak up the sauce and the juices from everything that cooked on the wok, making a delicious Curry Rice combining Korean Gochujang as the base, Thai Coconut Milk, Chinese Chili Oil and Indian Spices.

Super simple, tastes good, borderline impossible to frick up. Now @pizzashill go tell your foid to make this for you and not frick it up. Best part is that once you have gochujang, oyster sauce and spices the tubs last an eternity so you really just need chicken, onion and rice to make this, costing almost nothing for multiple meals.
