It's probably closest to sage and onion stuffing if I was to suggest a comparison, but it's softer. And it tastes a bit different, but similar savoury herby sausagey sort of taste.

Kale chips go great with ketchup, and if you make them at home they taste like french fries, it's great.

if you have previously eaten breaded fried shrimp, and dipped it in cocktail sauce

go and make/buy some onion rings, and dip them in cocktail sauce

you brain will insist that this is shrimp

it has to be

this is the only logical conclusion

Could someone please post that recipe parody for mashed potatoes? It began with several paragraphs about winters spent with cousins and ended with something like "Boil an potato. Mash it. Add salt, not to much."

I will love that post forever and I envy you because you don't remember it verbatim:

quote:

me: *googles how to mash potatoes*

some food blogger: My childhood home was full of wind and light. On a brisk Autumn evening, it often felt as if the outside was in. My younger sister, my mother, our favourite cousin, our dog, our other dog, our dog’s sister, and I would sit on the floor in the living room for hours, lit only by the moon and candlelight

me: *scrolls for several minutes*

some food blogger: It was at that moment, with my tiny hands clasped tightly around a mason jar filled with fireflies, that I realised the true value of family. My dog and my dog’s sister came and sat quietly at my feet. We stared up at the sky together, and I felt truly connected to both the Earth at my feet and the ancestors who shared the blood that ran through them, for the first time realising that

me: *scrolls for several minutes*

some food blogger: and when we finally made it home, our cheeks flushed with laughter and cold, there were warm mashed potatoes waiting for us. I will always remember their fluffiness, perfectly mirroring the light feeling I carried with me for the entire next week. This is my favourite cousin’s recipe from that very day, modified slightly to not be loving awful. Boil an potato and smush it up with fork and botter. NOT A RAW, Salt, pepepr. In it

Huh, didn't know kohlrabi came in purple.

Also I'm used to the little white and purple ones being turnips and the big yellowish ones being rutabagas, but there seems to be a lot of disagreement about that.

Brassicas are great, I love them.

Lately when I've been coding and I have to look at "raw" JSON output in a tool I'm using, my brain will serve me up in equal probabilities:

a) Gollum going "rrrrraaawwww and wrrrrrriggling" with his eyes rolling back in his head in ecstasy

b) NOT A RAW.

Thank you so much! :tipshat: I was blanking on the right goofy words at the end that would help me Google it or even find it in this thread. (There are a surprising number of hits for "mashed potato cousin".)

Swedish food can be hit and miss sometimes but smörgåstårta has this sad midwestern vibe to it that unsettles me. And the wee shrimp! No! NO!

For the record the dill and sour cream potato chips loving own. Imagine sour cream and onion but kissed by a pickle and I say this as a devout pickle hater. If someone wants to pay out the rear end for a bag and wait like a thousand years let me know.

E: I’ve lived here for four years and not once have I heard a Swede mention a drat thing about flygande jakob.

Peanut rings are loving awesome.

And the stuff they call "bearnaise sauce", which is so coagulated you can safely hold a whole bowl upside down, or it comes in bars they melt onto your pizza.

I do miss 1hr lunches with hot meals. I do not miss coming into work before 8 and leaving after 5.

As a swede, it can be difficult to cook for some of my friends and especially my mother, since I like putting things in my food that makes it taste good, whereas they prefer it when it doesn't taste good.

People here also generally want their steak well done. This is less true now than it was 20 or 40 years ago, but when I worked at a restaurant I think at least 40% of the meat I sold was well done.

Smörgåstårta is usually fine, though. Hardly worth the price, but it's not really something you pay for unless you're organizing an event yourself.
