Grounds for divorce XXX hot is one of the best sauces I've ever had as well. Not too hot, just a nice garlic chilli sauce.
The milder original grounds for divorce is the only chilli sauce my partner has ever liked.

Agreeing with B3 on ice cream. Delicious. The sweetness makes it less versatile than a lot of hot sauces so I have trouble with thinking of what else it would go on, though. I burned through my bottle of Grounds For Divorce XXX in a month. :v:

I've also eaten peanut butter and sriracha sandwiches so there's your anti-food porn.

In China KFC sells rice dishes for (I'm assuming) parents who are taking their kids there for real chicken. My wife ordered one once and my god. I've eaten a lot of cheap simple crap in China, but the thing in that lovely bowl was insulting. Just orange goo, lovely dry old rice, and chicken shavings. The menu picture for it had looked something that that ad.

I had a chicken sandwich and it was awesome though. Haven't found an American KFC that can match it. Genuinely delicious, and I hate KFC.

Agreed. Some of that stuff looked alright. Maybe I don't agree with the humor style of the instructional pictures but I'm not going to write a whiny loving article about it.

Lol at the "burned" peppers too. Yeah they were pretty black, but the guy steamed and skinned them after. Whatever, why am I defending reddit.

Whipped potatoes are fine if you're gonna do something more flavorful or creative like garlic twice-baked potatoes, but if you're just going to plate it like this then maybe avoid going most of the way toward potato soup. I don't understand why people think they need an electric mixer for mashed potatoes.

I use a food mill for mashed potatoes which does essentially the same thing and imo it's worth it because the potatoes are always amazing.

Why mash the potatoes? Why waste the crispy potential of that vegetable?
Make chips, wedges or fries. Make crispy roast potatoes.
:v: I want to eat cream and buttter, and this vegetable is the perfect conduit :v:


I do loosely mash or grate them for fritters and vege cakes or topping for a cottage/shepherds pie, sometimes even for a colcannon type side very rarely so I know the point, but no need to go all out and use a mill or ricer for that because it's not that important.
e: I don't get it America. Puree something that's a bit more exciting.

Yeah, I smash skin on potatoes sometimes too, and I mean roughly with a fork. I do that sometimes when I can't be bothered with wedges in, for example, a salmon main.
But that's far from a (e: peeled) potato puree from a mill or ricer using milk/cream and butter.

Potato puree is hosed up and disgusting I agree. Mashed potatoes are best when they're fluffy and still have a sort of thickness to them. When it's closer to liquid than solid you've hosed up

Good mashed potatoes should be chunky and have skin involved, agreed. But that doesn't mean you have to turn your nose up at a perfectly good food milled mash, which can be just as good and doesn't necessarily have to end up as a puree :colbert:

Mashed potatoes are part of the delivery system for your gravy, that is all.

Since when are mashed goddamn potatoes controversial? I mean sure, those don't look the best but questioning the actual concept of mashed potatoes? That is insane.

I like to add chopped raw onion to mine, along with some butter and milk (sometimes cream) of course but I definitely use a potato masher rather than a mill. But yes, mashed potatoes are best with some sort of gravy. Bonus, make bubble and squeak the next day with the leftovers.
