Solice Kirsk posted:Nah, we like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and, as I'm learning from the GBS thread, the entire rest of the world looks at that like we look at eating a giant wiggly bowl of eyeballs. Our peanut butter tends to be sweeter (shocking, I know) and more blended than others, at least the British ones I've tried. "Smooth" peanut butter in England was crunchier than your average crunchy American peanut butter.

The only ingredients in your peanut butter should be peanuts, and perhaps salt.

For all you peanut butter purists, you can buy no sugar added peanut butter at literally every grocery store in the United States that doesn't have an attached gas station.

PB on a hamburger is really good, peanuts & beef in general is a surprisingly awesome combination. That however... still would.

Tzatziki is so goddamn good. I made some with full-fat Fage Total and it tasted better than a sour-cream-based dip. Guess the GIS fart sandwich

Tiggum posted:Some people seem to have an irrational disgust for mixing sweet and savoury things, but it's actually really good. Pineapple on pizza, for example. Or toast with jam and cheese. Or a ham and apple sandwich. Meh, I like honey with fried chicken and pineapple on pizza (with bacon > with ham). It's not really the sweet/savory thing I don't get as much as that grape jelly has a really strong flavor that doesn't seem to go with sausage or chicken or bacon to me. It is way stronger than apple slices with ham. As I said, to each his own. It's probably an acquired taste/ something people grew up doing. I also don't like cheese and syrup together, but they actually serve mcgriddles with cheese on them. I haven't ordered one for years, but I would always get it without the cheese. I realize it's just a subjective taste thing, rather than a "this is objectively gross" thing

A mild cheddar and applesauce is a good mix, in my horrible opinion.

You would think that I could get real poutine here in central Maine, with it being so close to Canada. But the poutine here uses pipeline gravy and regular (lovely) shredded cheddar cheese. It is somehow less appetizing to look at than real poutine. Don't get me wrong, it is still the best thing to eat at 2:00 AM, but it just bugs me that I can't get the real deal in a state that's practically part of French Canada.

The spice on the duck is most definitely caraway seeds, the Czech love that (and we Bavarians do too to a lesser extent), I'm fine with it if it's not excessive. In this case: borderline.

These things all sound yummy. In my defence, there is a big difference between "fresh fruit and brie on a crostini" and "packet of mcdonald's grape flavored jelly substitute and american cheese food product on a burnt (and yet somehow still damp) english muffin"El Estrago Bonito posted:The pinnacle of this is of course Chicken and Waffles. I can't disagree there.

On that note, though, cooking classes are fun. Olds don't bother you except to tell you boring stories, and in the end, you will be super good at making sushi or stew or whatever. 10/10.

Though this looks gross, peanut butter sauce on chicken or pork chops is really, really, good. Mix in cayenne and cumin and it will make your day.

Just throw meat, potatoes, and spices in a pot with broth and cook the poo poo out of it. Add the rest of the veggies an hour before you're gonna serve it. Boom, you just made a bad rear end stew.
