French onion soup (or just about any savory soup), fondue if you have some other cheeses about, quiche, melty-cheese-type sandwiches/cheeseburgers, put it on garlic bread, potatoes au gratin, breakfast strata (not the fancy ones, though you could, I'm talking about the "tear up chunks of French bread" kind, sub it in for cheddar), cheese plate + friends to help you eat it. I love gruyere, especially the really aged stuff. I'll grate it on anything that looks like it could use some cheese.

Anything firmness/moisture level of cheddar or firmer freezes well. Wax paper then foil then zip bag prevents freezer burn.

Just eat it. Every time you open the fridge cut a chunk of Gruyere off and eat it as is. drat, now I want Gruyere.

What are some unsweetened whiskey-based cocktails? Unsweetened as in no sugar, fruit juice, or similar, and no substitutions in something like an old fashioned or whiskey sour with stevia or whatever.

OK, I am about to type a sentence that is new to the English language: How do I clean cat pee out of a cast-iron pan? I will explain: my toddler closed the door to the basement where the litterbox is, and instead of meowing or something, my geriatric cat calmly walked over to the stove and peed in the cast-iron pan in protest. Now, being a good cast-iron pan owner, how do I balance proper care and feeding of the pan (i.e. thou shalt not touch thy pan with soap) with proper hygiene (i.e. ew ew ew get it off get it off)? Do I have to just scrub the living poo poo out of it with soap and steel wool and the whole nine yards, and then re-temper the pan with the oil and the oven and so on?

The old adage of not washing with soap is based on the days when soap was made with lye. You should probably be washing it with soap every time. At least, it won't hurt anything to do so.

Funktor posted:OK, I am about to type a sentence that is new to the English language: SOS pad followed by soap and water and re-season. It's mostly a mental thing. I have a cast iron skillet that was used to feed chickens, and if you know anything about chickens you know that's gross. I washed it, stripped it bare and re-seasoned. Good as new.

PRADA SLUT posted:What are some unsweetened whiskey-based cocktails? A cocktail generally has three to five ingredients, at least one of which is going to be sweet. (Unsweetened) Highballs/spitzes are the way to go, either the rickey someone else mentioned or booze + unsweetened sparkling water of choice.

Does whisky, ice and soda water count as a cocktail? I'm sure I've heard that's a thing.

I’ve just bought a very overpriced imported jar of Branson’s pickle so I can relive my childhood of cheese and pickle sandwiches. Branstons and Parmesan sounds divine.

Is there a truffle thread? I haven’t seen one, and I’m looking into getting back into alcohol candy. If not; any tips on making good ganache? I think I got it to harden right exactly once.

I had a Wookey Hole cheddar that may have been the finest cheese to grace my palate. You only needed a few grains if putting it on your beans on toast, it was glorious.

So I bought a jar of what I thought was spicy pepper paste, but apparently is a pepper "pickle"?? It looks kind of like a very dry pepper paste, almost like they took dried peppers and added just a tiny bit of oil to the mixture. Also it has ash in it according to the ingredients? Wondering what I should use it for. Pics:

Looks like it's mostly dried spices - I'd just use it anywhere you'd normally use a blend of dried chilis and you're up for a little numbing. Definitely recommend it in stir fries, especially of greens or green beans, or in mapo tofu. Would also be delicious on chicken wings.

SubG posted:This is a stupid gimmick. It's dumb in general, and even sillier applied to the ploughman's, which is a marketing-based reincarnation of a meal eaten since antiquity. The latter predates the existence of either of the cheeses you mention, and the former is explicitly disinterested in them (the term was popularised first by pubs and then by cheesemakers to promote re-adoption of the traditional pub meal after it fell into disuse due to rationing in the Second World War). I really do hate it when you bring facts in to break my well-worn and time-honoured prejudices.
