That was really cool and I'm sure that butter is delicious...though what butter isn't?

I'm surprised they salted it, though. Wouldn't that make it good for pretty much just putting on bread, since most salt used in the cooking process is unsalted?

I guess if each butter medallion is going to be stamped with a logo or inscription, it's not likely to be tossed into a pan, but displayed to the customer at the table.

I only buy salted butter. I always adjust the salt to taste anyway, so what's a little extra salt in the butter?

I think it's stupid that most recipes call for unsalted butter.

PS Dino, I made Indian food the other night, as I do every now and again, and instead of making your amazing carrot stir-fry dish with lime, cumin and mustard seeds (which I make almost every time I cook Indian) I used some red cabbage from my veg box delivery. It worked extremely well!

PPS My dal was a bit bitter. Too much turmeric?

It's possible that something got burned. That's usually what causes bitter daal. Either a spice, or an aromatic.

Did you make any changes to that dish in addition to the red cabbage? I'm intrigued. Recipe plz?

If its a bitterness that your ingredient choice doesn't explain then something almost certainly must have gotten burnt.

Thanks both. I thought for some reason it was turmeric but burning is a better explanation.

dino, the only change is cabbage for carrot. I used red cabbage and it worked brilliantly. I used quite a high heat and some of it almost caramelised (which was really nice). I'm sure white cabbage would work well too but the colour of red is so wonderful.

man I have been super frustrated with the season this go round - or more specifically, my ability to watch this season. How are you watching it?

I online stream everything, and my provider doesn't have it in their library (comcast), and PBS wants loving $3 per episode to stream it. not on netflix, hulu, and amazon prime is $3 per episode too.

my erhmmm 'file source' only has the first couple episodes, which have been filler fluff.

I don't have trad-tv.

Are those guys making butter or just sort of loving around with butter? 'We added salt and warmed it up by squeezing it with a machine and now it's soft and salty. Also we are french, so this isn't stupid pretentious bullshit, it's cooking magic."

I got frustrated with mind of a chef pretty quickly in s01 but it wasn't because of streaming problems.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

butter is an emulsion of fat & water. emulsions' textures can change based on their structure, & kneading it + adding salt to it would change its structure

its really not worth getting that mad about lol

I'm not mad about anything. I just wanted to like mind of a chef and it turns out most episodes are pretentious garbage.

Here are some ideas i have for future episodes, if anybody who works on the show is reading:

An albino dane whispers ceaselessly about how to place a cubic centimeter of smoked salmon in a hand-woven pine needle basket so that it "comes to life." Most of the episode is about finding perfect pine needles on the forest floor. No cooking is shown, but the chef insists several times during the episode that he does know how to cook. A netflix producer sucks his dick on camera.

A guy with a soul patch carries a cooler of eggs on Hajj. When he returns to his treehouse kitchen in the azores, he prepares the eggs by frying them in a pan, and serves them with salt and pepper. Diners agree that the $700/plate eggs taste exactly like the soul of God himself. The chef wins the Nobel Egg Prize and Michelin makes an exception so that he can receive four stars.

A chef and leader of a small sex cult near Boise demonstrates his signature first course, called Hotel Cherry: Diners are sat in chairs behind live cows while the cows are fed expensive Russian caviar. When the cows eventually defecate onto the laps of the diners, waiters in tuxedos covered in gold leaf hand-feed each a maraschino cherry. Most diners sob at the beauty of the experience, which comes with a lesson for the viewer: The joy is in the journey.

You might also be thinking of Mind of a Chef from the middle of season 3 onwards. Somehow their video production quality jumped mid-season, they got Magnus Nilsson as a host, Chef's Table hadn't come out yet but David Gelb's Jiro Dreams of Sushi and the Hannibal TV series were around as role models of pretentious food porn foppery

I live in West Philadelphia, where the public transit is slow, biking is semi-safe, and parking is mad. We have many corner stores selling canned and preserved goods, a small local co-op which has a poor selection of fresh items, and a large non-chain supermarket with expired milk products and vegetables that are often left out overly long (also the conveyor belts in the check-stands broke years ago).

I've tried Instacart, and they're okay, but Amazon Fresh seems pricy with the monthly subscription. I'd like to support area farmers, so I've been checking out Philly Foodworks. $30 gets you 6-7 veggies and some fruit on a weekly, bimonthly, or monthly schedule. Apparently there are add-ons for meat, poultry, fish, bread, eggs, bacon, cheese, etc. The price really starts to go up once you tack a few of those on though, so I was hopeful that someone else could share their experience.

Hey, I used to live in that food desert!

Of course, this was 25 years ago, but my solution at the time was to drive to the Grey's Ferry Pathmark, on the other side of UPenn's campus.
Also, there was a hippie food co-op like smack dab in the middle of West Philly, I wonder if it's still there.

Kind of sad that the area is STILL a food desert, when so much awesome fresh food is available in other parts of the city.

Hey Philly friend. I finally broke down and started using Instacart. Unless you have a car and can make it to main-line groceries in West are a total bitch. I haven't done a CSA because I'm a broke-rear end medical student, and often go for week-long stints where I'm just eating whatever is instant instead of cooking, due to the time constraints. Hope you figure out a better system than me.

I joined a CSA for a season about 8 years ago and every week went out of my way to pick up a big plastic bag of wilted mesclun or kale.

Once I got a small white onion. Once I got a huge amount of garlic scapes. Once I got a comically small bell pepper. Once I was supposed to get eggs but I showed up a day late and they had given them away to someone else.

For $350, I found it to be abaolutely not-worth-it. I assume my CSA just sort of sucked.

Counterpoint, I've had a veggie CSA for multiple years and LOVED IT. Yeah, you do have to be prepared to cook with the seasons, however I found it to be a great way to find new recipes and stuff, and I learned about all different kinds of veggies I had never tried before.

I got the Lancaster Farms CSA- they have different sized veggie CSA's and add-ons for pretty much anything you can imagine (meat, dairy, fruit, eggs, cheese, herbs, flowers, bread...). The quality of the food was incredible- even better than what I can buy in season at the farmer's market, in most cases. The fruit CSA blew my mind, and had the best nectarines, peaches, and watermelon I've ever had in my entire life (including ones I've grown myself and ones I've picked myself).
