I've never even seen boiled peanuts. Are they mushy? When do you take the shells off?


EDIT: Yeah, GIS is not helping, that all looks gross. Don't your hands get wet picking the shells off?
What's wrong with regular roasted peanuts?

Boiled peanuts are the lowest form of peanuts. I'll eat them if no other peanuts are available, because I love peanuts, but I won't be happy about it.

Boiled peanuts are obscenely great if there's enough salt in the boil to cause high blood pressure on the spot.

Also, did anyone download the Modernist app for iOS a few years ago? I can't seem to find it in the App Store anymore and dammit, I paid $80 for that

I did not however my wife had to show me this. You can download old apps that you bought that have been pulled. Go to updates>purchases>not on this iphone and bam, it's your app history. It may not get updates and get broken but well at least you have your old apps.

I knew I saw George Washington Carver rise from his grave, and now I also know the reason.

\/\/ They're SLIMY peanuts are supposed to be CRUNCHY AND ROASTY TOASTY and not the consistency of a kidney bean. It's like, "Oh, hey, you like chicken? Here's this puffin I buried under a rock last year, it's fantastic"\/\/

George Washington Carver published at least 105 ways for peanuts to be made into food, including a way to simmer them into a paste that was then coated with breadcrumbs and fried like some kind of luguminous schnitzel. I have no doubt boiled peanuts were on his radar.

Also rock-fermented puffin is delicious, how dare you.

I'd go for mild olives. Something like cerignola or mantequilla. They're delicious and somewhat less assertive than many other varieties.

Canned black olives are disgusting, and a lot of people don't like green olives with pimento, so maybe that's your problem. Go to a grocery store with an olive bar and get a bunch of samples.

I think canned (whole) black olives are one of the most delicious things in creation, so I have to disagree with you there. I'm not sure why, it seems a lot of people really dislike them.

Because they are unripe olives that have been treated with lye, and they taste like it.

Canned black olives are often just dyed green olives, particularly if they're cheap. It's one of those foods where people can end up forming an opinion about something without ever having anything but the knockoff version (like parmesan, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, wasabi, Kobe beef, and so on).

Drink and Fight posted:

Green olives are (theoretically) the unripe ones. Black olives are (theoretically) the ones that have been ripened on the tree. Both are traditionally pickled in a brine containing lye. In practice many (most?) commercially packed black olives are immature (green) olives which have been dyed rather than ripened naturally, because this makes them cheaper to produce.

Well, this is somewhat part of the problem. I'm from the hometown of Wegmans, and there's like a huge olive bar at every one and people constantly bring olives to things, and I want to like them because sometimes they just look sooo tasty, like they'd be stuffed with cheeses and wrapped in cured meats and stuff... And those sorts of things I can sort of enjoy. So I guess, what are the best kinds for me to sample, because apparently other people really like these hard bitter motherfuckers and I seem to prefer the big, floppy olives surrounded with juice.

Thank you, I'll try these recommendations. Should they be, like, paired with anything? Am I supposed to be drinking something besides beer when I'm tasting these, because that gets a bit much... Wine?

Castlevetranos are also mild and yummy. You don't need to pair with anything but if you wanted to get some pita and hummus and some other veggies or something. Could also do crackers and cheese or charcutrie.

What kind of olive is the Standard Jarred Brined Green Stuffed With poo poo kind? I like the ones stuffed with garlic.

CostCo is selling this gigantic jar of Tassos green olives for ten bucks, it's a great deal. Stuffed with almonds or garlic, the jar also has big fat ribbons of pimento pepper and pearl onions. They are so crunchy and tasty, and just a little spicy. Perfect.

The lye taste in olives is the same kind of 'base' flavor I don't like about carrots. I understand why people like them, it's a cool tangy but earthy flavor that livens up a dish and adds a neat kinda highlight to a dish. I just can't stand how they taste.

Alright, here's a tedious experiment for you to try: the cores of carrots contain more calcium than the outsides. Some nutty chefs like Daniel Boulud will actually remove the cores of the carrots for some recipes because they noticed a difference in taste. Maybe try that?

Everybody's gotta learn sometime
Carrots vary so much in texture and flavor already. Removing the core seems like something you'd do after controlling all the other variables. At the least it'd depend what you're doing with them.

For Christmas I was in Vegas, and we did an entire prime rib. I've never cooked an entire cut like that, but it turned out awesome. Not as awesome as the pommes boulangerie that we did on the side - 30 pounds of potatoes disappeared like cigarettes in a prison. Makes you feel good.
