Looking at the nachos and the "pizza" pics in close succession is wild. It's like Americans didn't know what cheese was until about 1995 E: ^^ Yeah now they are able to say "BUY ACTUAL FRESH CHEESE AND PUT THAT ON TOP WHAT THE CHRIST"

I feel like 1995 was when Pepper Jack was invented and it made nachos in my house really good until my brother pissed and moaned about it and we went back to just chips and Monterrey Jack. It was a good month while it lasted.

No refrigeration there outside of whatever ice/dry ice you brought. Plenty of wood for the oven though. Probably better off buying a pack of Boboli or Mama Mia's pizza shells nowadays, they last a few weeks at room temp. I've had good luck with the mini (8inch) shells as a fun meal project for smaller kids. They come out the same every time, there's no flour mess, no utensils for the little ones to break or get dirty (or God forbid, get hurt with), plus it's quick and easy. The only parts that require any skill are pre-cutting veggie toppings (go with canned or pre-cut if you don't want to do even that) and laying out a little " pizza station" so people aren't reaching over each other for toppings. Seriously, five minutes prep, five to put together the pizzas (vs. a check against your child wrangling skill), and another ten in the oven. Bonus points for throwing them on the grill with pineapple-slice appetizers, if they've never seen that done before, it's a hit. All the above works for a drunken pizza-party for adults, start mise-en-place and the only thing to gently caress up is cooking time. Lots of digusting joke pizzas, but that's part of the fun. madeintaipei has a new favorite as of 17:18 on Nov 7, 2019 |

big trivia FAIL posted:they still make that kit. when i was a lad in the 1980s my mother kept the nursery at church every wednesday night, and my dad would make 2 of these for us. in my memory they were delicious and every now and then i think about buying the kit and making them again but i never do. i think the last time i had them was 1989/1990 or so, but they still make 'em. My grandma would make these for us as kids in the 90s, but never bought mozzarella or any other cheese other than the parmesan dust that came in the kit. If she was feeling spicy she might put some unseasoned ground beef on top but otherwise it was in retrospect usually just this weird sad pizza but I have nothing but nostalgia and happy memories from. I'll never attempt to make it as an adult so my hazy happy childhood memories don't get tainted. Trying pizza lunchables as an adult taught me that.

unseasoned ground beef is the worst. What is wrong with olds that adding a little bit of flavoring to meat is considered heresy? My dad hates any form of seasoning besides salt on steak. The addition of any sort of seasoning beyond salt will send him into a tirade about how we don't need to season steak anymore because it's not old and rotten like in the olden days.

My ex made nachos by browning unseasoned ground beef, then spread the beef and shredded cheddar over a cookie sheet of tortilla chips. After baking it long enough to melt the cheese, he would eat his nachos with cucumber ranch dressing. With that in mind, I cannot recognize squash nachos as bad in any way.

Modern feedlot beef is basically tasteless. Eat beef from a proper nomad. Grass fed beef in the US is often even worse because it's by someone who doesn't know how to grass finish half the time. Taste is usually limited by terpene content and intermuscular fat incl. marbling. No grass feeding, meat is greasy and tasteless. Grass feeding, no proper finish, it tastes like loving fish. Grass fed and proper finish is the way. Even tartare is beefy as gently caress in that case Julia Child complained in the 60s that modern chicken rearing was making tasteless chicken. Modern rearing methods have gotten about 3x faster since then at making chicken. The flavor has suffered. Need a non optimized breed Organic is modern feedlot breeds fed with organic corn slurry, which is slurry from corn grown with slightly different pesticides. Pasture raised is an outright lie about 70% the time. We need to include flavor in the optimization surface of ordinary feedlot meats (you can buy terpenes in a bag, but they're an antifeedant, cows don't get as big) but the ranchers won't do it Oddly enough, optimized pork still tastes really good, because pigs basically originally ate anything and being fat is more ok for a pig than many other animals bob dobbs is dead has a new favorite as of 15:08 on Nov 8, 2019 |

Tallgrass beef has the highest quality grass finished I know of in North America. Unfortunately they're scum to their suppliers. Cooks Venture will sell chickens that come from a heritage breed that tastes like something to you, although they are a hilarious misuse of venture capital money just like Blue Apron, where the founder was at previously.

They revolted against the crap large farm tomatoes, switched to heirloom breeds, the large growers noticed, started growing heirloom breeds, immediately started to optimize for yield and pest resistance and gently caress flavor, and crushed the independent growers including in most farmers markets because of distribution might and more consistent product. (Notwithstanding the extremely common farmers market fraud of selling large farm stuff as your own with a markup) So your average heirloom tomato that you can get, not grow, is a large farm tomato with interesting variations in look, basically We can't have nice things bob dobbs is dead has a new favorite as of 18:16 on Nov 8, 2019 |

You shouldn't take the bet though because I could just lie about it. But seriously, you aren't saying anything to me that a thousand people haven't said, and then I try their fancy tomato and still don't like it. I don't like raw tomatoes, I wish people would stop trying to prove my opinion wrong.
