Treecko posted:My ex once tried to use Lawrey's Seasoning Salt as a dry rub on a chicken. In theory that's fine. But it was soooo much. Then he burnt it in the oven. I once used InstaCure #2 (ie Prague Powder, ie 'pink salt') in an appropriate ratio while brining a chicken in what was otherwise a normal kosher salt and water brine. The 'appropriate ratio' being what you'd use when ... wanting to use prague powder. This is the stuff that makes ham stay pink. It's what you use to cure corned beef. After grilling the chicken remained pink raw looking and tasted exactly like (decent, to be fair) ham, but with the texture of chicken. It was wild and I thought it was a fun experiment. My three dinner guests were too weirded out to eat it and I don't blame them. Woops. It hadn't been my intent, it was perfectly SAFE to eat, and it wasn't terribly flavored but it sure as poo poo was weird as hell. That's someone elses 'egregious meal that was served to them', and by my own hands  Normally I'm a good cook.

as have I but I wanted them to expound upon being given a bowl of soup of scalding hot clarified fat they thought they were supposed to eat outright and how ignominious it was while everyone else stood around in horror why they were trying to eat a communal bread dipping sauce / salad dressing like soup.

Why do you constantly pick fights with everyone? Can you chill out? You accused op of making up bullshit and two posts later claim that's something you knew is a thing. Anyway op said they didn't realise it was fat, they thought it was soup because it looked like soup so they expected soup. Is that hard to believe?

I was gonna ask about Eid al-Adha, but I guess it's not technically about receiving blessing. Just if you want to stay in Allah's good graces, you do it. I always stayed inside the morning of Eid al-Adha because the streets of smelled raw meat and there was blood everywhere. And the cows with their little decorations leading up to it made me sad.

If he ever tried that poo poo with me I'd tell him I won't store his antique chifforobe in my garage anymore. He wouldn't know what to do. Also, though it's not the thread for it, a little BBC lore: He posted a (snazzy) picture of himself in a thread ages ago and I used it as my desktop background for almost six months. Somehow I feel fully justified in doing this. I put a file folder on his forehead.

One time in high school I went to this kid's house and it turns out his mom is a hoarder which the kids always explained by saying they "just moved in" but they were still using that excuse a year later, anyway, one time she offered us dinner and she said it was on the stove. And it was a pot of some kind of soup that had just been sitting on the lukewarm burner for at least several days. Her kids motioned to decline so I did

I once had dinner with an old friend who made spaghetti, but with ketchup as tomato sauce and cheddar cheese on top. I love her to death but jesus gently caress that was dire. Pretty sure her cooking has improved since then though.

When I was maybe 5, I decided to make myself a ketchup and cheese sandwich. I liked kraft dinner with ketchup, and dipping grilled cheese in ketchup, surely it would be similar? So I slathered ketchup on two slices of white bread and put a cheese slice between them. It was terrible. To the point that it's my earliest memory of being properly disgusted by food

My roommate made 'Vietnamese Banh Mi' It was deep fried cheese-stuffed bratwurst shoved into a roll with some lettuce and onions. I lived in Vietnam for years and offered to help him when he announced what he was cooking, but he declined and told me he knew what he was doing. Fucker even used my bratwurst which I was saving for some non abomination

A friend of mine grew up not only on bland Midwestern food, but with a mom who was constantly dieting and obsessed with food having as little fat as possible. One time she had me over for dinner, and made salmon steaks coated in loose peach flavored tea leaves, no other seasoning, cooked on a loving George Foreman grill. It was offensively dry, like chewing on a vaguely floral piece of wood, and my throat feels icky just thinking about it. Her cooking has improved a lot since realizing things like butter and oil won't immediately cause you to gain 100 pounds and die.

This is entirely a cultural thing and what you are used to thing so I don't blame them at all, but also nothing stands out to me like this in terms of meals though I'm sure I've had some bad ones. Staying at a Cuban friend's house. Deep-fried scrambled eggs. Like literally a pot of oil and scramble eggs in there. They were so oily I could only take a couple bites before I felt queasy, and then the only other thing on offer was some extremely strong cheese. I nibbled a bit of that until I felt just under the point where I was gonna barf.

Egreg'd myself. I made my own fava bean tofu. A delicacy. Turns out I am not nearly so adventurous as I thought. It's silken in texture which is fine but the serving suggestion was to serve it raw with just a topping of some soy sauce and dashi. My goons, it tasted and felt like I was eating the snot of a giant broad bean monster. Maybe gonna try cooking it this time....

While she was gone, the dog jumped up onto a chair and licked all of the frosting off the top tier. She told everyone this story at the reception. "Don't worry, everyone," she went on, "I got some more frosting and patched it, it's fine." I hope that frosting didn't have any garlic in it....

I'll admit that "boiled spaghetti with ketchup and cheese" is the lowest I personally think you can go and still technically qualify as "a meal". I wouldn't serve it to a guest, but I have made it out of a lack of options plus a lack of motivation to go buy better ingredients. (I'd include some butter, though.) A lot depends on what you mean by "ketchup as sauce", though - are we talking marinara-like quantities here, or more reasonable amounts?

At that point, why not just sans the ketchup and go with parsley and butter? You can even be a weirdo and keep the cheddar; it'd be better than the ketchup.

When I was a kid my mom would sometimes cook us homemade baked beans. She's a decent cook, and probably followed a recipe correctly, but I always dreaded when she served them. Some of the beans would be firmer than others, and some had different consistency within the same bean. It's hard to communicate exactly how much I hated this, but unexpected changes in texture and firmness make me reflexively gag. The skins would also slough off some of them and stick to the back of my throat. Those nights often involved a lot of crying and swallowing the beans whole with large gulps of milk in order to clear the plate and be allowed to leave the table. I was an extremely picky eater as a child. One time we had a babysitter who made boxed Mac n cheese and decided "for fun" to add a shitton of red food coloring and tell me she cut herself while making it and bled into the pot. Even though I knew that couldn't be true, I was horrified and refused to eat any of it, which only pissed her off and she sent me to bed hungry. My parents didn't hire her again.

It adds a clear taste to something otherwise intensely plain - it's not a very complex taste, but a bit of tomato and vinegar is more than nothing. Parsley butter would also be good, of course. Pesto, too - or just some black pepper. On the other hand, ketchup fills a certain niche where you just want to know ahead of time that you will get a predictable, non-bad, taste. Less important the more you trust your cooking, of course.

Exactly this, one cheap dinner my mom kept on hand was egg noodles (spaghetti is fine probably), a shitload of parsley flakes, garlic powder (“California” style - roasted, basically), butter and canned Parmesan. Amazing, cheap, easy. Ketchup is a condiment, it can’t sub for marinara.

Ketchup does not belong as a sauce or in soups. I've known people to use it in soups and it tastes like shiiiiiit. Back in college my stepbrother ruined a pot of chili a decade ago by draining an entire bottle of Hunt's into it. Gave the whole thing a sickly sweet corn syrup taste.
