Assuming that nothing is not an option, pan drippings is the best answer, possibly with a decent Dijon mustard actually from France

Discendo Vox posted:thread question: what goes best or worst on a steak? Assume "nothing" is not an option. Feel free to vary by cut and quality. Best, especially for making a lovely cut like Chuck steak good : Coarse salt, cracked pepper, little bit of celery seed and Lea & Perrin's. Worst : Canned nacho cheese sauce.

Best: finely chopped onion sauteed in a pan until caramelized, then soy sauce dropped in and stirred into the onion until deep deep brown. Worst: raw tomato

And the seeds and stuff around them is really gross. As a kid, I used to clean lettuce and stuff that got seed gunk on it. These days I'm too lazy, but it makes me feel gross.

A fresh tomato with salt is like, the simplest most delicious thing you can eat. It's probably the single best aspect about being alive from August-Sept.

My favourite sandwich ever is nothing but vine-ripened tomatoes and homemade mayonnaise, salt and pepper. I get made fun of for it but man it's absolutely fantastic. It's a mid-west thing I was taught with garbage tomatoes and wonderbread, but it turns out with excellent ingredients it's a loving amazing combo. Mayonnaise is exactly enough fat to take it from vegetable-only to god-tier. If you have good quality tomatoes, absolutely try one with whatever mayo you have around. I promise you won't be disappointed. Loutre fucked around with this message at 11:14 on Sep 20, 2017 |

I have people ask if we have fresh fruit at work on rare occasions (read: not enough to carry it). My go-to response is "are cut up tomatoes ok?"

Home grown tomatoes are so completely different than store bought that there really is no comparison. If you're gonna garden, that's the first thing you should be growing. I'm not sure what else there is that is so drastically different (and better) when homegrown. I don't eat supermarket tomatoes anymore. If I can't have homegrown then my burg will be tomatoless, and I simply will not BLT.

I too always thought raw tomatoes were poo poo until I ate farmer's market/home grown tomatoes. BLTs with peppered bacon, thick slices of salted tomato, crunchy lettuce and a nice slather of mayo are god-tier food, and it's all because of the good tomato. Sop up that pool of tomato juice on your plate with your last bites I still remove almost all poo poo tomatoes from sandwiches when eating out.

BrianBoitano posted:I always assumed that was a genetic thing like supertasters and cilantro, or certain folks and asparagus. Genetics have a large role in taste already. And it's worth pointing out that the association is pretty loving weak. The lead author of the first study, Nicholas Eriksson, on the subject: `it didn\'t make a huge difference in cilantro preference from person to person'. This is contrasted with the much better evidence (in terms of breadth of study, number of independent reproductions, effect size, and so on) that environmental factors affect flavour preferences. So while it wouldn't be correct to suggest that there's no genetic component to flavour preferences (and it would be astonishing if there wasn't), it would also be incorrect to suggest that genetic factors determine flavour preferences. If anything, the data which show a link at all suggest the opposite conclusion. Elizabethan Error posted:
Strawberries are an accessory fruit---the things on the outside most people think of as seeds are in fact individual fruits, and the fleshy part is properly called the receptacle. The receptacle is also the edible part of figs and pineapples. Apples and pears are also accessory fruit, with the core being the true fruit and the edible flesh surrounding the core being the hypanthium. Here endeth the lesson.
