What are some good New England-style clam chowder recipes? I haven't had clam chowder in ages, and I've been looking for a recipe to try.

Yeah, I figured as much, but I was kind of interested in the flavor addition it might bring. Maybe serve it as a condiment? I don't know, this whole cuisine is foreign to me.

File doesn't really taste like much in and of itself -- it's pretty strictly a thickener. Its not completely flavorless, but it's not really going to make your gumbo taste better.

Using file in addition to okra would probably create a nasty texture. I've never even seen a recipe that called for both.

File powder is something you just put on the table when you serve it, so everyone can add as much as they want. It just thickens poo poo up. Everything else looks good, though! Rock it.

Good to know about the file' powder... I'll experiment, but I guess keep it simple and don't gently caress up the roux. Thanks everyone

Should be edible as-is. I've always eyed that at Trader Joe's, let me know if it's good!

Tried it this morning and didn't care for it -- which surprised me, because it smelled good. I also don't like the other smoked fish I've tried (i.e., salmon), though, so maybe I'm not the best barometer.

Funny story -- when they were opening American Bounty, they needed a clam chowder recipe, so the chefs would have a cookoff every week for the head guy. In the final round of judging, someone snuck in Campbell's clam chowder --- it was #2 (behind this recipe).

Also, some other students on my chowda team modified this recipe with crab, corn, and roasted poblano peppers -- we won the chowder cook-off that year.

I've done this twice now (second time used less cream and more milk). The whole "bake flour + butter" thing was what caught my eye and it really works amazingly. The actual bits that go into the soup can be modified to your tastes:

That would be a bit like stewing a steak or similarly prime cut, dontcha think? Stewing lean meat makes it tough.

Oh, no worries. You're here to learn. Kebobs are great. Venison chilli is usually made with rougher cuts, whatever fat you can get off a deer. Backstrap is prized stuff though. There's a chilli megathread you can take venison chilli questions to. They're the experts.

I really need to stop buying lunch every day. I usually get something cheap, not a sit-down meal or anything, but it's still taking up a significant fraction of my pay. I work out of my car, so I have no fridge or microwave. I'm going to get some ice packs to go in my old lunchbox, but I have no idea what to make besides sandwiches. Does anyone have a recommendation for something that tastes good cold? I was thinking maybe a bean salad, or just a lettuce salad. I'd preferably be making something that I could make several days worth of at a time.

I used to work security and was out of my car a lot, and yeah salads are generally great. Tuna salad is a great option, or hummus+veggie wraps which were my jam for a looong time. Various kinds of hummus and a variety of vegetables would keep it from getting boring and samey too quickly, too. Or, hell, just throw a bunch of meat and vegetables in a tortilla and eat that cold.

Certain pastas are great at room temperature---pesto pasta especially. Roasted chicken is also delicious cold/room temp. Make a whole roasted chicken then eat it all week with different sides? Make some into chicken salad? Put some on a green salad? A pasta salad?

A lot of roasted veggies are great cold. I love roasted delicata squash cold/warm/hot/every way.

You could also buy a thermos to keep stuff warm!

Chickpea salad is my favourite! Just roast some bell peppers, chop and toss everything with parsley and balsamic vinaigrette. For variety you can add feta, olives, chicken breasts etc etc. (I use this as a recipe base)

Pesto pasta is fantastic, especially if you keep a bottle of good/thick balsamic and add just a touch before you eat it. Delicious. I like penne. I'd avoid the longer noodles if you are eating it cold.

Holy poo poo this looks incredible. Wondering if I can add tiny shrimp to it as well.

Chuck or brisket for beef, shoulder or butt for pork

I love barley soup, and never follow a recipe. Cook beans until partially done, add barley and herbs and a mirepoix/herb combination, then cook until done. I usually don't use beef and instead add lentils and beans.

For flavor profile, I usually go for thyme, caraway, dill, maybe a touch of fennel or anise. Bay, too. Garlic, and loads of it, is mandatory. If you are up to it, roast a head of garlic and stir that in toward the end.

I really like the texture and flavor of chia seeds in drinks. This stuff, for example, is disgusting, but I'll happily pay $4 for it and slurp it down because of the chia seeds. Recently I tried rehydrating my own seeds, but they don't seem to get as large and gel-like as the ones in the drink I linked, even though I soaked them in water for a good couple of hours. I was using pretty old seeds that had been sitting in the back of my cupboard for a while.

Do I just need to soak them longer, was the age the problem, or is there some other trick that I'm missing?

Not sure about chia seeds, but I know Basil seeds tend to puff up a lot, it may be something to look into in the future if you want something new.

Could it be the temperature? As in try some hotter water perhaps. And it can't hurt to just leave some laying around overnight to see if that helps as well.

Even with chia seeds you don't. The conversion rate of ALA (vegetable omega 3) to DHA / EPA (the kind a human body uses) is ridiculously low.

It's like jello with a light crunch. The appeal is impossible to explain and it's something that you either love or hate.

I'll give the longer, hotter soak a shot! I hadn't thought of basil seeds, but I'll give them a try if I see them somewhere.

What's the deal with swai? Epicurious is my usual go-to for recipes and it's literally giving me no results when I search for "swai". A cursory Google search got some Chowhound results saying "OMG do not buy this" but for reasons, which the comments illustrate, political and whether it's kosher or not, so I'm.getting any answers there. I just want some fish tonight, dammit.

tl; dr: I bought a bag of frozen swai at Save-a-lot because I am broke and wanted cheap seafood. Any suggestions on how to prepare it? I have 2 lemons, some cilantro, and one helluva spice cabinet.

Swai can be yummy. Treat it like what it is, catfish.

I thaw fillets like that, splash with lime and top with salt, black pepper and a tiny bit of cayenne then 15m at 400f. Can do asparagus at same time and temp for a quick meal.

Is there a crock-pot/slow-cooker thread somewhere? Husband and I are trying to find some diet-friendly* recipes online and every time I think I find something promising that sounds yummy, the comments are all over the place about how it's good/bad, watery, needs more/less time, etc.

If no thread, I'd love suggestions of either specific recipes or whole sites you like to pull from. :)

*not a specific diet, mostly just a "let's cut some calories because we're getting jiggly"-diet.
