I want to branch out and I'm going to stick with it.

That took me a while to figure out what kind of food would leave a mess like that, but would have a corn dog sitting alone. It looks like pudding.

Then I realized someone but a plastic sheet into the oven.

My favorite part of the Iowa State Fair was always the ugly cake contest. Every part of the cake has to be edible, but of course look as disgusting as possible. Here's the winner from a couple years ago!

That 'butter' though. And does no one own any real dishes anymore?
So, the white stuff is supposedly butter? Butter isn't white. That looks like mayonnaise.

In the UK we have "tea cakes", which are a biscuit base topped with mallow and covered entirely with milk chocolate, which I assume is what the mallocake things are?

The color of butter varies a lot depending on what the cows have been fed. It's usually more yellow in the summer.

Unless they've changed the rules, I think the article meant that it was stuff that looked like moldy strawberries and rotten bananas. And I hope that is the case, because the contest isn't nearly as fun when you can just throw actual garbage on a cake.

I have a very long layover at the Kiev Boryspil airport and while I was searching for some dinner, I stumbled upon this beauty labeled "Burger Salmon":



In addition to the salmon, it had a couple of slices of cucumber, cream cheese and some dill. It was kinda underwhelming. Other burgers at the café also had funny colored buns.

Speaking of black buns, according to Dinosaur Dracula's twitter, there's going to be a halloween themed whopper with a black bun. Not sure if that's the only special thing about it, but it sounds like it has potential for this thread.

Also don't use super freshly laid eggs. They peel a lot worse than eggs that have sat for a few days.

The Food Lab article makes it seem like this is really only a factor if you like live on a farm, and that's unlikely any store bought eggs are going to be new enough for it to matter.

If you want to peel eggs fast and without complications:

1) Let them cool down
2) Place them into a tupperware container with some cold water (you'll need multiple eggs for this)
3) Seal the container, shake vigorously
4) Peel the eggs, the shells should be falling off the white at this point.

It's good info for those of us with friends who have chickens that lay a ton of eggs. I get a free half-dozen every third day that are at most 3 days old. If you're buying your eggs from the store, they've already been a few days or longer in processing, transit, and shelf time, though.

To peel eggs, I shock them in an ice bath as soon as they're finished cooking, then roll each one between my hands to crack the shell a bit. Peel under cold water and it slips right off, usually as one piece. It's a bit laborious if you're doing more than a few.

The pro way to hardboil easy peeling eggs is to use a pressure cooker. No idea how or why but I can grab a dozen random eggs (live on a farm) of different ages and they all peal perfectly.

Never tried a pressure cooker with eggs, but I'll have to check that out. Pressure cookers rock.

If you live within a few hours of a factory farm you get eggs within a few days at the grocery store, and they can still be difficult to peel. Unfortunately eggs in a grocery store are also rinsed, which gets rid of a protective layer that allows eggs to last a lot longer uncooked, so they're distributed fairly quickly. Eh.

I miss having chickens :(

Give it a try, it's nice.

The Trinidad moruga scorpion (Capsicum chinense) is native to the district of Moruga in Trinidad and Tobago. On February 13, 2012, New Mexico State University's Chile Pepper Institute identified the Trinidad moruga scorpion as the hottest chili in the world, with a mean heat of more than 1.2 million Scoville heat units (SHUs) and individual plants with a heat of more than 2 million SHUs.[1] The previous record holder was the bhut jolokia of India. The current world record holder is the Carolina Reaper.
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinidad_moruga_scorpion

I know this is from a few weeks ago, but I'm still trying to catch up on this thread. I've got Bhut Jolokia and Trinidad Scorpion growing in my garden. Today was the day that multiple fruits became ripe on each plant. I harvested some, ate half a Jolokia raw and made the rest into a tasty sambal for some fish I'm going to grill tomorrow night. How is this anti-food? If you don't like spicy and don't have a high tolerance, this stuff will ruin you. I was an idiot and didn't wash my hands properly after cutting the peppers. Rubbed my forehead and scratched the back of my neck and my skull felt like it was on fire for the next half hour. The burn was far worse on my skin than it was in my mouth or throat. Which I guess makes sense because I frequently eat very spicy food, but rarely massage it into my scalp.

Also, that discussion about boiled beef that occurred around the same time as PCOS Bill's post. Have none of you ever eaten Shabu Shabu? Boiled meat of any kind is absolutely delicious when boiled and prepared properly. Or out of a trashcan since we're all raccoons here.

Also, all you guys hitting on my mom is getting weird and desperate sounding.

While I await the "cash crab dies from eating weird Japanese candy burgers" trip report/video I thought I'd provide the thread with some more #wifematerial Stealth Edit: Also #wifematerial is suddenly flooded with topless photos on Instagram. It wasn't last week. Sealth Edit Part 2: Seriously there is nearly as many titty shots as there is pictures of food. This is annoying; I want to complain to Instagram they are misusing the hash tag.



Mostly because Loose Corn is the #wifematerial side to EVERYTHING


Just because of the :effort: put into making a banana fancy
