Tiggum posted:If it's got vodka in it it's not a martini, but that's no reason to make it undrinkable. A martini with gin is called a martini, a martini with vodka is called a vodka martini. That's the official name for the drink.

Uh A dry martini has dry vermouth and vodka or gin, with as little (to none) vermouth as requested. A dirty martini has some kind of brine added in depending on customer preference, be it olive juice, pickle juice, pickled jalapeņo juice, I've even done pickled beet juice (customer thought it was gross, I kinda liked it even though it was his idea.)

tbh I just pour gin up to the top of a martini glass and tell myself I'm being classy.

Same goes for the people who ask for their liquor "straight up", which means literally nothing.

RNG posted:Hot pickled sausage. Packaged the same way, but the juice smells like a coroner's office. Come to think of it, it's been a while since I've seen a serve-your-own gallon jar of pickled pig's feet in a grocery store or corner store, I guess the south is slowly modernizing. Always wanted to try pickled pig's feet, but not seen any anywhere I have lived.

Yeah "up" drinks refer to drinks in a stemmed glass, often a Martini as most people recognize the glass. "Straight up" is a joke where I work and when people ask for their booze or something that way and they're a regular I just give it to them in a chilled stemmed glass.

zedprime posted:I like the idea of a solid food that can get you drunk when traditionally served but I have never come across a fruit cake in that form. When I was store security one of the managers baked a totally amazing, drunkening fruitcake. I believe it was a fluke.  Does anyone else's family make "fairy Jello" or whatever the hell it is? It's like chunks of jello and fruit and a ton of that crappy fake whipped cream stuff blended together.

I feel like 50 years from now there's going to be packs of kids on the vr-web making fun of molecular gastronomy like this thread does gelatin molds. I dunno, molecular gastronomy still makes edible food. It's weird, but tastes normal. It's not easy to make weird gelatin concoctions taste good, especially when they incorporate savory components or use aspic.

My Aunt always makes 'Pineapple Delight'. Red Jello, crushed pineapple, and Cool Whip mixed together with graham cracker crumbs on top. It tends to leave an odd oily film on the roof of your mouth. I imagine that there will be a salad bowl of it at tomorrow's dinner.

My mom always made some sort of Jello and sour cream mix with various fruit bits mixed in. I actually really loved it and should ask her how to make it for nostalgia's sake.

My grandma used to make rum balls with Stroh's 80% alcohol Rum. She was really worried about their flammability, so we could only eat them away from candles and the fireplace.

Molecular gastronomy is already becoming a dirty word to foodies and chefs and similar so I'd only give it a few years until it's mostly relegated to jokes. It's a thing that can be done interestingly and well but I'd say the majority of the time it's definitely gimmicky, mostly because there are way too many people attempting it who don't have the exact combo of elite chef skills, understanding of cooking science and creativity to pull it off

I asked her for a neat bourbon and she immediately said "I know you asked for it neat but do you want rocks?" When I ask someone if they want their martini/manhattan "up or on the rocks", that's what I mean. When people say "up", they mean what Wikipedia describes. When a jackass orders "shot of Jack, straight up", they mean precisely jack poo poo, and it's satisfying though not exactly ingratiating to shake and strain a shot of Jack Daniels and serve it in a martini glass.
