That's perfect. As if almond milk is at all offensive tasting. The addition of Mountain Dew as a chaser is beautiful.

I particularly like organic whole milk, not a fan of other cow milk. I had to quit drinking it because it was making me super farty. I found that cashew milk is the best substitute for real milk.

Hirayuki posted:"Pan" just means "bread" (from the Portuguese) and is the catch-all word for any bread product you can get from a bakery, the majority of which is what we'd probably call "buns" or "rolls," sweet or otherwise. It's not always sweet and certainly not always deep fried. Curry pan is, though; that's kind of a curry piroshki breaded in panko and fried. (Delicious, when fresh.)

Almond milk is delicious and I would drink it all the time if I wasn't such a cheap bastard. (I don't know if it's more expensive than regular milk, maybe not, I just usually drink water due to the cheap bastard thing)

El Estrago Bonito posted:Yeah but seriously bread in Japan is loving awful. They have this whole type of bread called pan that's everywhere and really sweet, usually deep fried. I'd almost say it's more along the lines of a pastry than a bread but people there treat it like bread. That's because Japanese people basically consider most bread to be a pastry, and eat it as such. If you want to make a sandwich then buy sandwich rolls or sandwich bread. They're available at all grocery stores and most convenience stores. There's a lot of awful food in Japan, but the bread is fine. I wish I could easily get a marble rye or pumpernickel, but I have never had trouble finding decent white bread. Hell, I can go get a loving baguette from any supermarket even in my small podunk town. kinmik posted:Honey toast is loving awesome, but not meant to be eaten by a single person. It's usually toasted though (as the name implies), and you can't really see it from those pics. Shokupan makes killer french toast too. Yeah, shokupan is designed to be eaten as toast for breakfast. Going by how it tastes untoasted, I'm not sure it's really meant to be eaten without toasting. It makes killer garlic bread, texas toast, grilled cheese, or really anything that requires toasted bread. When I feel like eating like an idiot I usually make a Texas Toast Cheeseburger with shokupan. It's loving awesome. ErIog has a new favorite as of 02:55 on Apr 21, 2015 |

I'll never forget the French guy I met staying at a Kyoto temple who swore up and down that Japan made better croissants than France. Now, I think the Japanese do bread very well, but this struck me as a pretty ballsy claim.

Now, I think the Japanese do bread very well, but this struck me as a pretty ballsy claim. I would believe it. There's an attention to quality and detail in Japanese consumer-facing products that borders on obsessive. A lot of places will just refuse to sell stuff that doesn't come out absolutely perfect or they will deeply discount even for small defects. I was once at a shop where there were these very nice boxes made of laminated paper, and a customer literally found a single small imperfection on the underside of the lid of the box and was able to get 20% off. I buy vegetables in Japan without bothering to check them like I would in America because I know that the lowest quality tomato I purchase from a Japanese supermarket is going to be better than the average tomato in an American supermarket. What this means for Japanese bakeries is that they're probably throwing away any product that's not absolutely 100% perfect. What you're left with are perfect croissants, but far fewer of them than would ever be produced in France and probably at a higher cost. The downside to this kind of attention to quality is that it's hard to sell stuff for any kind of decent money if it's ever been used at all. The expectation is that used products are basically identical to new. ErIog has a new favorite as of 03:20 on Apr 21, 2015 |

With international bread competitions and everything. DBZ for bread pretty much, but with cooking instead of fighting.

I remember a few years back a goon posting a story about how he worked in a Japanese bakery, and one day he mixed up the eggs for the cakes with the eggs for the custard. He got fired on the spot.

I started getting stomach dama after drinking whole milk so I switched to fat free for like 5 years. It's crazy how your perception of the various fat %s of milk changes. At first, I was so unhappy with my "watery" fat-free milk. I got used to it though. Now whole milk might as well be as rich and thick as eggnog -- it's just too much for me. Unsweetened vanilla almond milk is where it's at.

I had to do a California Mastitis test for school. Now I don't drink cows milk. I'd much rather think about insect parts in my almond or rice milk instead of pus in cow's milk. I can't drink soy milk, it has that funky taste to it.

Throatwarbler posted:Asian countries have their own bread-like staple foods which are not sweet at all. They also have a specific genre of food called "what people in Asia think Americans eat". If you only shop/eat at places that cater to expats/sex tourists guess which one you are going to encounter? Your avatar is right on the money! Oh, and you know jack poo poo about living in East Asia, hth. Seriously, what are you even talking about? The only Japanese or Korean "staples" that resemble bread that I can think of are mochi and ddeok, both of which can be made to be very sweet. I am talking about bread, you know, the loaf-shaped poo poo you make sandwiches out of. Or, in the case of Korea, sugary garlic bread. Fleta Mcgurn has a new favorite as of 05:48 on Apr 21, 2015 |

The "what Asians think Americans eat" reminded me of omuraisu. Omuraisu is supposed to be an omelette over the top of rice and meat that's been slathered in ketchup with even more ketchup slathered on top of the omelette like this: What also came back with the GIS was this abomination:  It's a processed omuraisu in the form factor of an onigiri.

People are weird about bread. Bread is pretty much the same everywhere in the world that I've been. People like to fixate on wonderbread because "lol murika", as if that's the only bread we can buy or eat, but you can get the same processed white bread (in a different brand but effectively the same) everywhere. You can also get the fresh bread in the bakery section everywhere. Some countries may be better at making certain kinds of bread, but in the end bread is bread and no matter what kind of bread you want you'll be able to find it somewhere.

Aesop Poprock posted:I'm American and it's really loving annoying when Americans in this and other threads get super defensive about what people think we eat. It's true that America is huge and has super diverse types of pretty much any food you can think of but getting upset about it on this of all forums is pretty ridiculous. Why are goons so weird about food Because this kind of poo poo is everpresent? The Saddest Rhino posted:no see, the proper bread is (according to this thread) the whatever the hell thing they use in america that apparently is so exclusive they can't even butter it and edible only when slathered with lots of miracle whip. Like, the prevailing attitude is "pfft, look at these plebs, eating -thing-, they should eat the superior -thing- I like because it comes from my country, instead of that lovely country". Nationalistic bullshit is annoying no matter what side you fall on.

ACES CURE PLANES posted:Because this kind of poo poo is everpresent? Even within countries people are really weird, it's like they're rooting for their favorite sports team. Even with something as incredibly diverse as pizza which can vary in every single component, people get in slapfights over which one is the "best". I like my smoked meat on rye. I like french bread with olive oil and basalmic, I like whole grain toasted with butter, and about twice a year I have a sandwich made of wonder bread, Miracle Whip, bologna and lovely Kraft cheese slice because I grew up poor. It really is ok to like a wide selection of different types of food. The only way to do it wrong is to stick to a handful of things and never try new food because you're a weiner.
