I made this recipe last night except instead of bothering to grate a garlic clove I added an entire head’s worth of whole cloves and basically I just don’t understand why italian-ish recipes that are roasted just don’t say “throw in a bunch of whole garlic, it’s the loving best”

Like why would I do extra prep work in order to NOT have whole roasted garlic, idk

If I do that I end up eating all the garlic out of the dish before I serve it. Just stand over it like a hungry rat pecking cloves of garlic out with my hands. And don't you tell me I'm the weird one for doing it. You do it too.

Their immortal vampire overlords look unfavorably on the liberal use of garlic.

Stand back, this could get messy.

What I thought were two boxes of angel hair turned out to be two boxes of spaghetti and I have never been so disappointed at a box of uncooked pasta.

You don't fill the bucatini, just use the angel hair as joiner pieces to make one very long bucatini strand.

I see the charcuterie thread is gone.

I buy guanciale from a local butcher and I use it to make pasta alla gricia. When I get it it's like firm bacon and it works great.

Today my vegetarian partner went to the same place to get me some and whilst they gave her what is clearly pork cheek with the same seasonings it is not firm, it's like fresh meat. Does this sound like it was not dried properly and if so, will I notice significant differences in how it cooks?

Give me your best spam musubi recipe I’m doing a Hawaiian food cookoff and this is one of the dishes.

There’s so many permutations- dressed sushi rice or plain rice? Furikake? What glaze? Etc etc

White calrose rice cooked slightly damper than normal (it dries out in the musubi), good nori (that means thick sheets and good roast flavor), griddled spam sliced to about 1/8 can thickness, and a brush if your favorite teriyaki sauce. This is the way.

Its fermentation week at the house of Guildenstern. Got a ginger bug going, finally getting around to making kimchi, and a poolish sitting out for the night, which I don't think is technically fermentation but its got farty yeast so I'm going to count it.

Well, it's both technically fermentation and fermentation by common usage. As in, in baking when you let the dough rise before shaping it's primary fermentation, after shaping final fermentation, and in a biga or poolish pre-fermentation.

If you let the poolish go long enough you'll get a funky smell :v:

As a baker™, adding two-day old dough to the mix and smelling alcohol at the bottom of the bin was not an uncommon occurrence.

No, beer is technically bread. So you can make a sandwich with it.

Specifically poor man's ale. Until fairly late, in mediaeval England everybody's diet was mostly grain. For the poorest this meant mostly pottage. A slightly wealthier family might consume most of their grain as pottage with a small portion consumed as bread, assuming they were on a manor with a miller and/or bakehouse. Those of higher social status (and increasingly large portions of the population later) would also consume a portion of their grain as ale.

There is a wealth of documentary evidence (mostly in the form of legal documents) through which the economic fortunes of different regions can be traced in terms of how much and what type of various grains people of different social strata were consuming.

My girlfriend has never had wagyu so I was thinking about ordering an A5 ribeye so she could experience it. What would be the ideal way to prepare it? Just searing it off as a whole ribeye seems unexciting. I’ve seen videos where they cut it into smaller pieces and sear those on all sides. Is that the way to go? Just S&P? Salt and togarashi? Soy sauce while searing? If I do this I’d rather not gently caress it up.

Excuse me, pardon me, sheer perfection coming through
i haven't had it seared on all sides but that seems an interesting way to go. imo the texture is the important part so a good sear with salt and pepper would be how i'd go about it personally. i like beef to taste like beef tho.

maybe serve it with something sharp though on the side to cut through the fattiness.

The fancy teppanyaki style stuff is a pretty good way to serve wagyu.

I had it at a restaurant once just seared top and bottom. I just had some salt and pepper on it. I’ve seen soy sauce and wasabi, but I’d keep it simple.

A little goes a long way. I had like 4oz and I didn’t need any more.
