A perpetual stew, also known as forever soup, hunter's pot[1][2] or hunter's stew, is a pot into which whatever foodstuffs one can find is placed and cooked. The pot is never or rarely emptied all the way, and ingredients and liquid are replenished as necessary.[1][3] Such foods can continue cooking for decades or longer, if properly maintained. The concept is often a common element in descriptions of medieval inns. Foods prepared in a perpetual stew have been described as being flavorful due to the manner in which the ingredients blend together.[4] Various ingredients can be used in a perpetual stew such as root vegetables, tubers (onion, carrot, garlic, parsnip, turnip, etc.), and various meats.[3]

I tried one of the world's oldest soups, a broth that's been kept simmering for 50 years by 3 generations of a family. It's now one of my favorite restaurants in Bangkok.

The original post is this disgusting-looking /r/food post: [i ate] a deluxe Italian sandwich:

Someone points out that this has nothing to do with Italy:

Wikipedia doesn't say to use 5kg or random mixed meat and 5 grams of veggies. Wrong proportion and wrong ingredients. It doesn't make sense to do it like this.

But I guess it's the “American way”. ==> American sandwich

They get downvoted to -221 and crossposted to /r/iamveryculinary: Italian learns what an "Italian" sandwich is and immediately becomes the authority on why OP is making it wrong

Let's see what angry Redditors have to say:

Eep pray this guy never learns about French toast.

I don't understand this, French toast is something that they actually eat in France.

I just imagine some dude sitting on the potty angrily commenting on a small picture of a sandwich on his phone.

Just like you sitting on the potty angrily commenting on a comment on a small picture of a sandwich on his phone.

Why is immigration and ancestry such a difficult concept for some people to understand?

Peepeeheads pretending to be Italians and the 'No true Scotsman' fallacy, name a more iconic duo

You mean like someone who calls it an Italian sandwich?

@KONGLAND for once I'm begging you to see the light.

Fighting your food counts as seasoning it with its own sweat:

Same as above:

Italian food is the most mid food out there

Sorry for the ugly pic, what's important is the recipe.

Through years of experimentation I have created the ultimate (according to my tastes) red borscht recipe. If you've never had it, it's a slightly sweet beet soup that you can customize in endless ways, but it typically has meat or beans and cabbage. It's a good meal for any season, extremely cheap, very healthy, and beets are good for your liver, so you should try it. It takes around 2-3 hours to cook but most of that's just letting it simmer and occasionally adding crap to the pot.

Ingredients

1. 1-2.5 lb cartilaginous red meat, ideally with bone (A big skin-on pork shank is my ideal cut, braised pork skin tastes great and thickens the broth. Can sub meat for dark kidney or cannellini beans) - precut stew meat works but you're paying more for someone else to do something that takes a couple extra mins of work

2. 3 medium or 4 small red beets (generally the smaller the sweeter, and ones with stalks still attached tend to taste better)

3. 4 medium cloves garlic

4. 1 large onion or 2 small

5. 1 gigantic carrot, 2 regular grocery store carrots, or 3 farmer's market/upscale grocery carrots

6. 1 can tomato paste

7. dash of white or white wine vinegar (be careful)

8. small fistful of flat leaf parsley

9. 2 medium bay leaves or one large

10. liberal amount of marjoram to taste

11. about a tsp of mexican oregano to taste (optional)

12. about a tsp of paprika to taste

13. half a white cabbage

14. chicken stock, 2 chicken stock cubes, or water

15. black pepper and salt to taste

16. white sugar or 2 prunes (optional)

Serve with:

• sturdy bread like a baguette

• dill

• sour cream, smetana, cream cheese, etc.

Directions

1. Cut the onion in half and dice one half; set the other half aside

2. Mince garlic

3. If you bought a whole cut of meat, you can process it into pieces ahead of time or simmer it first, then pull it out if you're lazy. That'll increase cook time though

4. Heat up your largest stock pot on the stovetop at about medium heat (I usually let the fat from the cut render but if yours doesn't have a lot of exposed fat then add some oil. Lard highly recommended if you're using beef). Add the meat and stir around for a few mins.

5. Add onions and sweat for a couple mins, then add bay leaves and garlic and sweat for a couple more mins. Make sure not to brown anything, the mallard reaction ruins the clean flavor

6. Add tomato paste, stir around for a couple mins, then add paprika and stir for a few secs until the paprika smell diminishes. The timing for these first few steps isn't important due to the aforementioned mallard reaction note.

7. Add stock/water with bullion/water and a dash of vinegar along with marjoram, parsley, and oregano.

8. Simmer for at least an hour, though it'll take longer if you're removing the meat and cutting it into pieces during the cooking process (it took the shank in this round about 1.5 hrs). You want the meat to be somewhat pliable but not super soft yet so that the pieces don't dissolve into pulled pork

9. Meanwhile, peel beets and cut each of them into halves. Divide the halves and cut half into small, thin pieces or throw into food processer and cut the other half into rough cubes or matchsticks (you could do one or the other but having both makes the texture more interesting)

10. Throw the beets into the pot

12. About 30 mins after the beets have been added, taste the broth. If your beets are really shit then you can add sugar or prunes here to sweeten it . Otherwise adjust your salt, spices, vinegar, etc. if you need to

13. Meanwhile, cut carrots into matchsticks or shreds or throw into food processor and cut the reserved half of the onion once through the middle, then crosswise into thin slivers

14. Toss the carrots and onion into the pot after the beets have been in there for 40-60 mins

15. Dice the cabbage half into squares or cut in small thin slivers.

16. Add cabbage to pot after carrots and onion have been in there for about 15 mins

17. Cook soup for 10 more mins, adjust to taste again if you need to

18. Serve with dill (can sub parsley), sour cream or w/e, and bread

Simple question

Making chili

Pretty basic

The spice mostly comes from 3tbsp of cayenne pepper which hasn't been quite enough for my liking before and when I've added tabasco and more cayenne it doesn't really seem to change things much either

I bought some habanero peppers and I'm getting ready to start things but I'm having second thoughts

With two pounds of beef how much habanero should I use

Should I just slice it up or should I like completely pulverize a pepper or three and toss it in

Is habanero going to overpower the rest of everything and kill my mayoid tongue

I had habanero on a burger a few times and it's always very hot so I am nervous

what are seed oils again?

Drunk by the end so pics get progressively shittier.

I heard somewhere that a man in his 30s will either become obsessed with fixing shit in his house or smoking meats. Smoking meats sounded like it aligned with my interests

As luck would have it I found a reasonably sized brisket for a decent price. Gave it the ol' rub n' tug with spices and then got the grill ready. I have a nice Weber kettle grill and decided to use mesquite wood chips which I soaked and spread over the hot coals. Slapped my meat on the grill and spent the next 5 hours or so letting it do its thing at 250 degrees, wrapping it the last hour.

I think it turned out really good for my first go. Brisket was mayyyyybe a touch dry, but not too bad and really tasty. With winter coming around I think I found myself a good reason to stay outside and drink on those nice warmer days.

This is easy for me. Coke and cookies. I actually gave up coke and all soft drinks a few years ago. One of the best changes I ever made.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but I like products with chocolate in them.

Thank you to @PrettyKitty for alerting me to this delicious burger. You made this all possible

The burger is plated in a unique Double Big Mac Box with purple accents. It's barely able to contain the juiciness of this treat.

This monster was a bit intimidating if I am being honest. Smells a bit beefier than a normal Mac and i believe that is some grilled onions placed between the stacked patties. I was originally a bit disappointed it wasn't a bit more sauced, but that proved to be a non issue.

It was much easier to bite than I anticipated. This burger is much better than a normal Big Mac. The Double provides a much beefier taste without changing the tried and true thin patty texture that I prefer. The Meat:Cheese:Veggie Ratio is spot on here. More sauce would have ruined the delicious beefiness produced by this burger and made it a mess to eat.

The onions between the patty really do it for me. Not 100% sure they are grilled, but I am guessing they are. Once again, it's just setting itself miles ahead of the normal Big Mac.

Considering that the Big Mac is already one of the best and most iconic fast food burgers in the entire world, it's impressive how much the scientists at McDonalds were able to add to this classic without significantly changing the basic recipe. The Double Big Mac is a hard hitter with heavy flavor, but it's not messy and it's easy on the mouth to chew. Even as I type this, the delicious mixture of beef, onions and Mac sauce lingers in my mouth.

The Double Big Mac is unapologetically a

It's not every day you improve a classic in every way while retaining all the elements that made it great. McDonald's knocked it out of the park with this one. Highly recommend you get one for lunch or dinner today.

Edit: I have been informed that the onions are in fact not grilled. They are still delicious though

!foidmoment!

Make a new thread! Don't just reply to this post. I know my stove is dirty, I just made mashed potatoes.

This may be a turning point in my life.

Taste wise it was fine. Strong yet vague citrussy flavor. I didn't really detect notable sugar alternative weirdness that's in diet sodas

Packaging/presentation great. The can has a premium feel with it's embossed logo, detailed high quality printing, and large size

But effect wise it was great in ways I didn't predict. Contrary to normal caffeine beverage making me jittery and hyper this elixir really made me feel like a boomer. Calm, contented, superior. Yes I am a better man now that I've had Monster Zero Ultra. I can't exactly say how but I know it's true. I attribute this effect primarily to memetic power.

If you don't believe in memes. If you just laughed at "literally me" instead of strongly relating to Ryan Gosling performances then this drink is not for you. It will just be another one of dozens of overpriced energy drinks. But if you have been infected by or even just witnessed the powerful boomer meme then this drink will let you ascend to a higher state of being. I urge you to try it even if you believe that you are not, in fact, a boomer. I didn't know this meme had such an power until I tried Monster Zero Ultra

Verdict: I like it

I predict the objections now.

@garlicdoors you're a marketing manipulated normie

@garlicdoors your diet is terrible you haven't ever had any other energy drinks. How do you know you didn't just have a taurine deficiency

@garlicdoors you're not literally a boomer

And to those I say sssiiippppppp

P.S. !boomers let me in. I am one of you now.
