Tofu is not a meat replacement. Tofu is tofu. Good tofu is good tofu. Bad tofu is bad tofu.

Saturday morning breakfasts: Husband makes yam/yellow potato hash browns, I make bacon and slice fruit. He always asks if I want an egg. I always say no. He dishes out my hashbrowns, then cracks 2 eggs into the middle of his. I slice an avocado over whole grain bread with dairy free butter and a touch of salt, and most times slap my bacon on top of the 'cado. Eggs are gross.

At least eggs aren't pretending to be something they are not. (Otherwise both breakfasts sound good).

Otherwise, there would be real butter. Most margarine has milk solids added to it, so I have to use either vegan becel, which tastes like garbage, or Earth Balance, which tastes better. Nothing is as good as real butter.

Skinny King Pimp posted:Haha, I just don't like being told that you might as well just eat Olive Garden and Taco Bell if you don't make your eggs with creme fraiche. I didn't say that the classic French way is the `correct' way to do eggs (although Croatoan implies that I did). I didn't say that it's the most common way of preparing eggs everywhere, or in the US, or whatever, (like you and Drink and Fight imply). And I didn't say that if you don't like eggs the classic French way you might as well eat at Olive loving Garden. I mean don't let me stand in the way of a good rant or whatever, but that's all poo poo I just didn't say.

You guys are literally arguing over who gets credit for a particular style of scrambled eggs. Look at yourself in the mirror, and say "Who invented this style of scrambled eggs matters deeply to me." And then see how long you're able to look yourself in the eye.

It was so much fun hanging out with Wrought and Mr. Wrought (who is a grade-A QTpie). My brother and family were rather surprised when I showed up at their door (as I usually call them when I arrive at the bus station, or book the tickets to VA), but were happy that I turned up in such a way. It was a really nice and relaxing trip, and the kids have grown up so much. Not even ONE meltdown the whole time I was there. That was shocking. Hopefully plan on invading the Wroughts again some time soon.

mindphlux posted:nice, recipe? I followed david chang's for the most part. His was a bit dry so I added more oil. I also added shallots because his didn't have any, as well as fresh red chiles instead of dry. I used sichuan bacon instead of country ham, and also added a bit of dry abalone. You can play with other dried seafood, too. Whelk, oysters. Maybe chinese sausage instead of bacon if you dont have access. Seems pretty flexible and fun to make into your own ratios. https://www.kitchenmonki.com/recipe/Xo_Sauce

I'm on a business trip to NYC, will probably be coming back every week well into the new year. I just had the best katsu curry I've had in years, topped off with some fantastic pistachio gelato. Burp. I need to keep eating on my own; last night we had a team dinner at a nice Italian place. Except that it was a family-style place so we had to share. One guy claimed a garlic allergy, one gal claimed a fish allergy (ALL fish and shellfish), and finally the other gal offered this: "Veal is cruel. [pout]" gently caress you, if I'm at a decent Italian place I want seafood AND veal. And don't get me started on no-garlic guy. Hey Dino, you still in NYC? If so, I'd like to take you out to your favorite vegan joint.

SubG posted:I don't think scrambled eggs usually suck. I don't think scrambled eggs made in the traditional French way are the only kind that don't suck. Indeed, I think there are some applications where they would suck---fried rice, brains and eggs, egg and huitlacoche tacos, for example. But I'm sure that's just my ~*cultural elitism*~ talking. Scrambled eggs should definitely be somewhat firmer than French style for breakfast burritos as well, but dry is still unacceptable in all of those applications. There is a happy medium between dry crumbly poo poo and perfect creamy French eggs.

SubG posted:I think it's hilarious that the internet has attributed scrambled loving eggs to Gordon Ramsay. I mean power to the people, it's great people are learning poo poo, and all that. But it ain't even like some spergy refinement of some classic thing like you see Keller or Blumenthal or whoever doing. It's just the standard default loving thing. Except I guess at like loving Denny's or whatever. I don't doubt for a moment that this is 100% true, but I've eaten scrambled eggs not only at lots of restaurants but also at lots of other people's houses, and at none of them have they been done well. Gordon Ramsay is the man who taught me how to do it properly, and I appreciate him for that. That's all. Neither I nor Ramsay have claimed anything further. In fact, he comments in that video that he asks new cooks in the kitchen to make scrambled eggs, so he can see if they do it right, which is pretty much an endorsement of what you said. I am not a professional chef and I only started to take cooking seriously last year, and if learning to do it right means learning from a Gordon Ramsay video, I'm good with that.
