MISTER EATER'S EATING EMPORIUM

Your life and your quest end here.


I went to the supermarket the other day and saw this.



So of course I had to buy them. Initially they just look like any other pie.



The first bite was mostly pastry.



But quickly the cheese sauce begins to make its presence felt.



It's sort of cheesy, but the main thing you taste is the pickle.



There are actually small pickle chunks in there, but very few of them, they mostly seem to be incorporated into the cheese sauce.



If you like pickles, it's probably not bad. The pastry is certainly pretty good.



Unfortunately the pickle flavour pretty much overwhelms everything else.



I'd eat another one, but I won't be buying them again.

I've never seen kataifi used in any context besides as dessert with syrup and pistachios etc, so it's weird. Maybe it's like a noodle panko thing.
I've had it on top of a lovely crab salad dish, where the kataifi complemented it nicely, adding a nice touch of texture. See the Lava Crab recipe here.

I suspect it's stuff in egg custard. Probably would be easier to eat just out of the pots.

It looks like potted shrimp. You put shrimp in melted butter to preserve it when it sets

It's not that hard to make your own cheeseburger pie! Although I'm lazy and end up just covering it with a shitload of extra cheese rather than making a nice pastry lid or something.

Sweet pickles are amazing and I would chug the brine as a kid, but I agree with never putting them on anything.

When I was a kid I used to wrap them in a slice of cheese and eat them

Me [29 F] with my SO [29 M] of 6 years, he keeps making "fancy" food, how to tactfully stop him ?
u/Ordinaryfoodplease345d
I work in the next town over, and spends a bit of time traveling while my SO works from home. He used to work at an office but now it's full time from home, so he makes all the meals during the week, it just makes sense.

Lately he only talks to me about food. What he saw on master chef, what meal a famous chef made, new exiting foods etc. I'm serious, he sometimes have small lecture on how to make crispy duck, or the difference between whole grains vs orinairly flour etc. I get it! He likes food, and I enjoy eating, for the most part. It's just gotten so incredible common for him to talk about food, flavor etc.

Im a easy girl to please in the food department. I'll eat about anything, and enjoy basic stuff like pizza, pastas, vegetables, soup etc. We also have an incredible supportive relationship where we encourage eachother to do new things etc, and we are very polite to each other.

The issue: I'm raised in the belief that if someone makes a meal for you you eat it and compliment the chef, no matter what (unless it's uneatable ). But at the same time I'm getting so sick and tired of coming home, dog tired and getting something weird for dinner. I just wants some spagetti or pork chops, I think it's okay to try to make a fancy meal once in a while, it's fun. But this week I've been served: herring (apparently all the rage now!) ricotta pasta, liver pate, and some chili that was so hot it still burns. The breaking point today was that we have Taco Fridays, and it's the highlight of my week, but it wasn't fancy enough so he added a gently caress ton of chili and so much smoked paprika (a spice? ?) That my favourite meal just tasted liquid smoke and hot. He also adds vinegar to everything, but adds so much that it all tasted like sour old feet.

I really don't want to come of childish or spoiled, I just want some plain loving dinner, I don't care about appetisers and tiny fancy balls of rice I just want some gravy and potatoes. It's every day. I can't ever expect a normal meal, it's always some dudes recipe of floating fish foam or whatever fuckery, and as usual with new meals it takes some practise, so more often than not its to spicy, to salty, bland or just plain weird.

How can I tell my dear dear SO that I just want some plain lasagna without "improvement " once in a while ? I would be more than happy to eat experimental food like once or twice a week, but I have started to buy fastfood on the way home so I won't cry from dissapointment when I get home. Help me phrase this please!

Tl;dr : My SO wants to be a food scientists, I just want some pizza

To be fair, it is super annoying to looking forward to normal dinner and come home to an amateur chef's attempts to be fancy with loving tacos or whatever. It sounds like he's fairly poo poo at it so far.

Smoked paprika in tacos sounds foul as all get out to me.

This is one where I'm not sure if she's exaggerating because she has baby taste buds(paprika (a spice? ?)), or if he's actually terrible at cooking, or even both. Comments say they're Scandinavian, which may or may not effect things.

Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie. And their regular meat pies are fine. Not up to the standards of a good bakery pie, but better than a bad bakery pie, and readily available hot or frozen 24 hours a day.

Speck is always smoked. It's basically lightly smoked prosciutto.

I found the pizza brethren of the pies Tiggum found (which was located the freezer over).



Let's embark on this adventure.



Nothing odd on the back of the box, the burger sauce could be weird.



Uncooked, nothing special or odd, some very visible gherkin.



Looks like pizza, smells like pizza, taste? A very ordinary frozen pizza. The gherkin is quite nice and a nice crust. Can't taste anything off about the sauce. Would buy when on special.

I remember trying to make a curry with a jar of vindaloo sauce when I lived in Sweden. It was one of the least spicy things I had ever eaten.

Splish!

Thread, I committed a culinary crime against man and nature, and it's partly your fault. I just couldn't stop thinking about That Picture, and so I bought some ingredients.



The thing that worried me most about this was the sweetness of the Spaghetti-O's, so I added some red pepper flakes, seasoned salt and oregano and what not, and assembled it...




...and baked it.




I had to let it cool/congeal quite a bit before eating. The Spaghetti-O's weren't that saucy, but just slid all over the place while hot.

The thing that surprised me, when all was said and done, was how bland it was. No flavor at all from anything. I ate one piece plain, one with sriracha, and one with more red pepper, and it only tasted like the add-ons.

The rest went in the trash.

(Sorry for the partial post; I accidentally hit post way too early.)
