El Estrago Bonito posted:Yeah but seriously bread in Japan is loving awful. They have this whole type of bread called pan that's everywhere and really sweet, usually deep fried. I'd almost say it's more along the lines of a pastry than a bread but people there treat it like bread. "Pan" just means "bread" (from the Portuguese) and is the catch-all word for any bread product you can get from a bakery, the majority of which is what we'd probably call "buns" or "rolls," sweet or otherwise. It's not always sweet and certainly not always deep fried. Curry pan is, though; that's kind of a curry piroshki breaded in panko and fried. (Delicious, when fresh.) "Shokupan" ("eating bread") is the stuff that comes in loaves and is usually a sweeter variation on a white Pullman loaf, often sliced super thick. Upon eating a slice of Japanese toast, my son commented that the Japanese must have really huge mouths. It also is loving fantastic toasted with butter or corn mayo, though I realize this last variation probably belongs in this thread: Toasted, it's crispy on the outside and pull-apart soft on the inside. Even an unabashed fan of shokupan (and garlic) like me draws the line at some of the things they do to it, though. This is a five-inch-tall hunk of white bread diced into chunks and done up with garlic butter. Then there's the sweet variation, of which this (the top Japanese GIS for "karaoke dessert") is an extremely tame example: See much worse here.

I'll never forget the French guy I met staying at a Kyoto temple who swore up and down that Japan made better croissants than France. Now, I think the Japanese do bread very well, but this struck me as a pretty ballsy claim.

A local BBQ place also has a wood-fired oven and makes awesome pizzas, one of which features (a little) smoked jalapeno honey to complement the pulled pork, cappicola, house-made sausage, garlic, and cheese toppings.. It's surprisingly spicy, but delicious. Now I want that pie, dammit.

Chard posted:I do this whenever I make cheapo ramen, I agree it looks like sewage but it's a nice flavor/protein boost. Eggdrop soup is apparently some kind of wizardry. I used to try to poach my eggs for ramen separately, but it was a pain in the rear end to get everything done at the right time; this works great. Next up is making boiled eggs that are seasoned in the shell with salt and a little sugar, like the ones you can buy at Japanese convenience stores. No salt packets necessary! Or you can make these bastards, peeled and steeped in soy sauce, mirin rice wine, and dashi stock. which look more off-putting than the salt-sugar variety, but are delicious.

Confusingly, the hot dog of choice in Michigan is not the Michigan, but the Coney. The Michigan is popular in upstate New York (and Coney Island). e: And we don't put cheddar on Coneys, either. Another mystery. Hirayuki has a new favorite as of 13:08 on May 26, 2015 |

Enjoy this write-up of a trip to the Jelly Belly factory and taste tests of various disturbingly accurate flavors. (Also, while we had a tiny, regularly frosted white wedding cake just to do the traditional cutting thing and take some home to not eat on our anniversary, the wedding cake we actually served took the form of individual pavlovas. My cousin had a beautiful but bland cake at his wedding last month that must have been coated in fondant; it was almost, but not quite, vinyl.)

Maple flavoring is a standard option for breakfast sausage in the States; this isn't that far off. Yet my son bitches whenever maple syrup touches his breakfast sausages. Doesn't he know? I think I would draw the line at custard fillings, though, only because it sounds like it could curdle (it probably couldn't).
