Do you agree with them /h/food? I for one heard they don't wash their chicken in France. And Lawry's isn't being sold there either.

What would you rather eat?

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

I think the title is too niche a reference but regardless, it's that time of year again at last so recommend teas that I can pretend have health benefits but are really just dirt water.

I have a cup of ginger turmeric in the morning and two cups of chamomile before sleep and I think the morning could be moved to early evening and so I specifically want something herbal for first thing in the morning but I'm open to others

The pumpkin spice finally ran out and it would be weird to reup on that in December.

NOTHING CAFFEINATED

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

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

Do corn and beans belong in chili?

— rDrama.net (@rdramanet) January 8, 2024

Only 17.9% of people believe that beans do not belong in chili.

Changes:

• ancho instead of cayenne (not bad, but inferior I think)

• no corn (I prefer it with but it's not huge)

• jalapeño instead of habanero (not spicy at all instead of too spicy, unable to find a happy medium. less habanero next time maybe)

• smoked paprika (unsure of results, will try again next time when I use cayenne instead of the ancho)

Overall is still excellent though

That's all thanks

box combo with iced tea, the perfect meal

or almost perfect i guess, i wish they would sub out the mediocre coleslaw for something else or even just more fries or something

Time to have an honest discussion about how crinkle cut fries might be the worst fries of all time https://t.co/T1cxPAkk2Y

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?

You mean like someone who calls it an Italian sandwich?

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

Last year my 'mulled wine spice'-themed Thanksgiving dinner line-up turned out really well so I'm going to repeat it, but I have more people flying in than last year so need to make a turkey in addition to duck, and I forgot the stuffing recipe I followed so any suggestions would be helpful. Any feedback in general would be nice tbh.

Roast Turkey

• Dry brined and roasted the day before. If anyone has a good roast turkey/turkey dry brine recipe please share.

Roasted duck

• Roasted following this recipe but dry brined for 24 hrs with salt, brown sugar, orange peels, garlic, cinnamon, star anise, and ginger slices

Stuffing

• Probably a sausage and rustic bread or baguette one. It's hard to go wrong with stuffing but if anyone has a good recipe please share.

Braised red cabbage

• Braised on the stovetop for over an hour with star anise, maybe a slice of ginger, cloves, juniper berries, and whatever I adjust it with.

Honeynut squash puree

• I used sweet potatoes last year, but I'm going to probably use some honeynut squash I grew in containers this year. Or maybe just stick with sweet potatoes and use the honeynut squash for something else.

Braised kale or arugula salad

• Gotta add a green to feel like you're less of a fatass. I'll probably make something easy (the arugula salad last year worked well with everything else) but I'm open to suggestions if anyone has them. As long as the suggestions don't involve green beans.

Gravy, redcurrent jelly sauce, cranberry sauce

• Gravy made with turkey drippings from the day before, redcurrant jelly sauce made by mixing redcurrant jelly and white wine, cranberry sauce from a jar

Some sort of grocery store dessert

• Maybe I'll be able to find some pumpkin pie

Thoughts? Does anyone have a line-up they're proud of?

Drunk by the end so pics get progressively shittier.

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!
