Eat This Glob posted:I asked my wife if there's anything she'd like for dinner and she said she'd like an onion burger that has very thinly sliced onions smashed into them. They're little 2 oz patties that were made popular in Oklahoma during the depression. They're delicious and I learned of them through this episode of "the burger show" I think your wife likes having a reason to make fun of you.

It's been literally years since I cut myself on a mandoline and I use one almost daily... What the hell are you guys doing with your mandolines?

I still havent tried it because I havent wanted to "waste" oil on a batch of burgers in cast iron and havent thought to try it near the end of life of my fryer grease the twice a year I break out the deep fryer. the onion burgs turned out fantastic. half a vidalia per double pattied burger (still roughly 4 oz worth of meat all told) served on an onion bagel Coasterphreak posted:I think your wife likes having a reason to make fun of you. possibly, but she responded "haha nope totally forgot" when I questioned her motives. pile of brown posted:It's been literally years since I cut myself on a mandoline and I use one almost daily... What the hell are you guys doing with your mandolines? personally, I had been holding it vertically to cut uniform carrot rounds for soup. It was maybe my third carrot where i got into a rhythm and didnt realize how close to the stem I'd gotten. General dumbassery, basically

So for various reasons, even though I only cook anything more complicated than mac and cheese or a hamburger once in a blue moon(through a combination of laziness, lack of funds, and still living with parents who both cook) I've managed to get my hands on a surprising amount of cook books over the years(most from various thrift stores), with a decent amount of variety to them, got some for regional American foods(including a copy of Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen), various books for Italian and French cooking, and even a couple for Japanese food So I'm thinking of maybe hunting down some additional books on various cuisines both American and International in nature, and while I'm open to recommendations for pretty much anything, I think my first specific one will be for African food, as that feels like something especially interesting to look into

Moroccan, Ethiopian, and maybe South African cuisines will probably be among the easiest to find English-language resources on, and they're also amazing. West African cuisines are incredibly diverse and spicy as well.

I am working from home today so I turned the oven on to reheat some leftovers. I went to check on said oven and there was a 10 inch flame coming up off of the (electric) element. I killed the temp and put out the flame. I told my wife about it when she got home and she said "oh, that must have been from the frozen pizza i made." She left a bigass glob of cheese on the element and didnt clean it up or tell me about it. She does not cook, so it didn't occur to me that I should check the stove since I last used it. I am curious what my third kitchen calamity will be after fingat and fire so i can put this bad luck streak behind me lol.

I never have cooked with frog before. One of my favorite brew pub/restaurant serves them and I quite liked them the couple times I've ordered them. I have never run into bullfrogs in NH, but here is hoping the final plague is something edible and not cane toads or something. I'd give locusts a try too

They're perfectly edible for ravens, then if you wanna take one for the team and eat a bowl of cane toad eyes, please report back if you survive the attempt

Bertrand Hustle posted:They're perfectly edible for ravens, then Okay fair point, but ravens are susceptible to their poison so presumably the eyes are poison free, though yeah there could be something else there bad for people that ravens can deal with.

I made friends with a man that sharpens my entire set of knives way better than I can do for like $10. We exchange meads and poo poo too. He's a real swell guy. The moral of this post is to always sharpen your knives and talk to people about sharpening knives

Speaking of mead, that’s good stuff. There’s brewer here in London that makes a hopped mead that’s absolutely delicious. Their regular mead is pretty drat good too. Have you had tej before? I introduced my book club to mead. They al laughed at me until they tasted it.

Mead is the bomb There aren't any meaderies near where I live so whenever I'm on a long rear end car trip I check for meaderies along the route and stop in and grab a case if I can. Then when I visit people instead of bringing a bottle of wine I bring a bottle of mead

tarbrush posted:Where do you get it from? Clapton Craft on Stroud Green Road. It’s Gosnell’s. https://www.gosnells.co.uk The Citra Sea and Hibiscus are interesting but my favourite is the hopped. Even the plain one isn’t sickly sweet, but the hopped one has that extra bitterness which moderates the sweetness really nicely. It goes down real easy. I only had tej once, at an excellent Ethiopian restaurant. It was absolutely delicious.

mariooncrack posted:Melt - This used to be a hipster place. It's now more of a local chain. Giant, grilled cheese sandwiches but you'll want to eat lightly afterwards. Trip reports Melt: Got the chicken parm one and the firecracker chicken (pretty much Nashville hot chicken with pepperjack, avo, and grilled pineapple). Frickin tasty, huge, and surprisingly good cocktails. fun place. Sokolowski's: Stuffed cabbage! The pierogies were just all right, the onions/butter were off putting. West Side Market: Didn't end up eating there (killed a little time before Sokolowski's opened), but it's a neat place. Seemed really weird that the produce people were just selling supermarket stuff instead of a farmer's market though. Swenson's: Man those kids haul rear end lol Fun spot, but liked the plain cheeseburger better than the galley boy. Too much of those weird sauces. Happy Dog:  Got a red hot with pimento mac, chili, habanero pickled red onions, pico, and cheddar. The fries were great too, especially with the garlic aioli. Overall Cleveland seemed like a good food city, though the international options seemed lacking from what we're used to. It's also really weird that most gyro places had "flavored" ones with like Cajun seasoning and nacho cheese and stuff

hopped mead sounds interesting. I've had mead enough to know it is very one note to me, and that note isnt all that pleasing. Some bitterness would go a long way for me
