I think this is the right thread to ask:

what are the moral ramifications of eating sour cream straight out of the container?

if you can sub greek yogurt for sour cream surely it works the other way around, so it's basically health food, you're good

Corn syrup was what came to mind, right before I started gagging. Somewhere in the America someone is probably actually putting pure corn syrup on their food.

Corn syrup on pancakes/waffles was how my dad rolled if he made them and we were out of syrup.

I was not a fan.

I never knew what real syrup was until I was an adult and could spend the extra couple of bucks on my own syrup. My mom is notoriously cheap, so it was always "Maple flavored" syrup.

I used to make homemade bread, toast it, put peanut butter on it, dip that into the most expensive maple syrup I could buy...god tier snack.

Over here we only really do golden syrup, refiners syrup? And you can buy maple syrup too I guess but it's not super commonly used I think.

I always wonder what the point of comparison is when people say corn syrup or molasses, I think molasses is like black treacle which is kind of a speciality cooking ingredient and very bitter. Makes nice toffee though.

Golden syrup is incredible though, like I could eat spoonfuls of that stuff until I died (which would probably be very quickly)

The other option was Schmalz (duck fat?) which is actually great on toasted rye bread.

Neither am I, but I can understand that.

I just meant there are probably people out there putting corn syrup on mashed potatoes and such.

Mix a tbsp of peanut butter with maple syrup and microwave for 10 seconds. Mix well and pour over pancakes/waffles. Your welcome.

Politicians will always be lovely about food, because they need to try to emulate low-class cooking to maintain a more relatable appeal, but they also need to avoid looking either ethnic or actually lower class to avoid alienating their elite backers.

And if you want to be generous, a lot of the high-powered politicians probably don't even know how to make their own food from being wealthy, successful and constantly surrounded by support staff, or married to full-time homemakers, so they never had to fend for themselves, since they always could rely on other people giving them food.

I thought you were supposed to cook the flour to make a roux or something, not just dump it in the mix and warm it up.

Depends on what you want to get out of it but afaik "roux" is just flour and a liquid fat, usually butter, saying nothing about cooked it is. For darker sauces (ie meat gravies, anything cajun) I think you absolutely want to brown the roux for more flavour. Lighter colored sauces eg your bechamels, your alfredo sauces, whatevs, keep it light. Just melt the butter, add flour when it stops bubbling, and boom there's your roux. Or, y'know, don't listen to me, experiment! I'm not a food cop.

You had me up til there. You gotta cook the flour for a few minutes to cook that gritty, lovely flour flavor off.

OwlFancier
Aug 22, 2013

Yeah I was under the impression that was why you cooked it because otherwise it's literally just cake batter. Which is not necessarily an unpleasant flavour but I don't think it would be an appropriate texture for a sauce.

And I definitely wouldn't eat it on toast either way.

Well, I'll give it a try next time I need a blond roux, just at lower temperatures so I don't brown the sucker. I'd thought the purpose of the roux was mainly so you had your thickening agent (the flour) premixed with a fat so it didn't get all clumpy when you introduced it to your other liquids, I wasn't aware you could cook off the flouriness.

e: and you don't just eat a roux, even Senator Chuckles up there is adding milk to make it a sauce. A bland-rear end sauce.

I made chicken alfredo tonight, and cooking the roux (on low) did make it smoother, and the end sauce noticeably less gritty! Didn't notice if it was less floury tasting, but an improvement's an improvement. Thanks goons!

I think molasses is the stuff that's called treacle here? And if that's the case it's the only kind of syrup worth having.

It's specifically this:



Treacle is apparently made from sugar cane, while GOLDSAFT is made from sugar beets. GOLDSAFT is the poo poo. GOLDSAFT for baking. GOLDSAFT on your bread. PUT THE GOLDEN JUICE ON EVERYTHING.

Yeah, it's pretty good, but an acquired taste I think.
