does anyone remember the old early 2000s website that was just a story/pictures of a guy cooking a steak at midnight? it was like "midnight steak" or maybe "2am steak" or something like that. i think he cooked it on a george foreman

I always chuckle at this since the spice packet is probably better just because it hasn’t been sitting in a cabinet for 3 years like I’m sure those jars have. It’s all those things listed, but pre-measured and manufactured within the last calendar year

Lol I always find it insane how mad people get about Skyline chili given this fact. you are extremely unlikely to accidentally find yourself eating Cincinnati chili thinking it's Texas Chile con carne but mother fucker it is the most offensive thing possible that they use the same name

I'm a big Cincinnati chili lover, and I have a theory about this.

I think Cincinnati chili can kick off that instinct where something unexpected can be repulsive. Like, for example, have you ever done that thing where you accidentally and unknowingly grab your glass of orange juice when trying to drink a water at breakfast, and after taking a sip your brain is like "ALERT: DISGUSTING POISON" before you figure out what happened? I think that Cincinnati chili *looking* like "regular" chili combined with the fairly powerful flavor of cinnamon leads to this type of "brain panicking when there's an unexpected flavor" effect.

Sweet yoghurt does that to me. Not if it's just plain yoghurt with bits of fruit in it, but when the actual yoghurt itself is combined with some sweet flavouring it always hits me at first like "this custard's gone bad".

Idk, I don't think I have a single jar of spice in my house that's older than maybe 8 or 9 months.
The packet is also sold at hundreds of % markup and only sufficient for a very specifically sized batch of chili, so tbh the comic guy is right even if he's cringe.

Yeah, it's pretty easy to keep up on spices if you cook regularly, and I'm convinced those packets lose their flavor/absorb other flavor faster than the bottled ones.

It might be more about creating the specific flavor he wants. In his website archive he has chili multiple times, but each time the seasonings are a bit different.

The first chili was from 2011, he just kept doing more comic recipes for ten years.

That's how the internet is, there's always some obscure guy right around the corner who's been doing his thing for a long while.

Can’t wait for this guy to do a collab with that goon who did the chili recipe that called for, idk, potatoes or mushrooms or some poo poo, and claimed that people would be lining up around the block to fellate you for it (I actually conflated that guy with the edgelord comic guy tbh)

Anything McCormick is going to have sat in the supply chain for longer than a real deal chef is going to tolerate and the bottles are better than a foil packet if you are a packaging hippy but still pretty bad compared to reusable jars and packets.

But you know what I'm just glad you're cooking with spices.

Out of curiosity, where should we be getting our spices from considering 90% of what you find in the grocery store is going to be McCromick

Gneiss Spice has been good for me and their magnetic spice jars are nice.

I was also assuming that anyone who is taking chili advice from a stick figure comic was also the sort to have a dusty jar of cumin in the back of their cabinet, please do not judge my spice rack :ohdear:

If you're serious about fresh spices online sources like Penzeys are well-regarded. Also if your area has any stores that serve a specific immigrant population (Mexican groceries or Asian supermarkets or something like that) they often have fresher/more high quality spices than a big chain like Safeway or Kroger.

If you can't afford or find higher quality spices, then get whole spices from your grocery and grind on demand using a coffee grinder (or other ways, depending on the spice).

But honestly I wouldn't stress about it if you're mostly happy with your cooking. 90% of home cooking doesn't need the freshest ingredients. I have jars of McCormick for everyday meals, and use fresher spices for special, nicer meals.

I've seen this happen a few times with boiled peanuts. people somehow expect the texture to be like roasted peanuts and then are really weirded out when it's not.

This isn't true. Chili powder is just dehydrated, ground chili peppers. Some chili powders are a blend of peppers, but you can also find specific chili powders (like ancho or guajillo powders). You can also grind your whole dried chilis fresh. Garam masala just refers to an overall practice of blending a certain mix of spices. It can be distributed as a pre-ground, packaged spice blend, but it's also common to roast and grind the spices fresh as you're making the dish.
