Throw quinoa into an oiled pan with broth, canned roasted tomatoes, whatever canned beans you feel like, and whatever seasoning. In 20 minutes or so you'll have something great that can be enjoyed hot or cold.

I found that jalapeno slices were my gateway to enjoying pickle slices. On a burger they have basically the same texture, so then I just had to adjust to a slightly different flavor to start enjoying them. I suppose spiced pickles might have piqued my interest sooner if I had encountered them at the time.

My toddler absolutely adores anything pickled though, the less sweet the better. :shrug:

When I think of American food I think of fried chicken and anything that would be served with it. So mostly southern/midwestern stuff. Obviously since we're one of the "newest" countries almost all of it can technically be traced to a different country of origin, but y'know.

However, when you think of "the best pizza place" in an American context, you still typically expect it to be run by Italian-Americans. As American as it is, it's not totally divorced from the idea of "ethnic food".

Corn based foods seem like a good candidate for "American Food". Corn doesn't seem to have gotten absorbed into old world cuisine the same way tomatoes, potatoes and peppers did.

Corn on the cob, corn dog, corn bread, corn grits, corn chips.

Largely yes, with the caveat of Mexican food. They both have a lot of corn dishes for obvious reasons.

Ok so I have a question. For years saturated fat got a bad rap for various reasons and recent research showed that this was somewhat flawed and that it wasnt bad as part of a balanced diet at all, but I feel like almost overnight we went from "saturated fat = heart attack" to people cooking with/baking with/adding to everything/straight up shotgunning coconut oil or coconut products, which are mostly saturated fat. So I guess my question is how did coconut suddenly become health food of the month when probably it's not actually that great for you in significant quantities?

Like other health foods are generally still pretty nutritious and good for you even once you strip away all the snake oil claims, but coconut?

I know someone already answered this, but the way I figure it went something like: people got all afraid of butter being unhealthy, but then someone found this other thing that's basically like butter, for better and for worse, but it sounds fancier and people aren't afraid of it, plus it has this "one weird trick" where you can also use it on your skin, how quirky!

I admit I bought into the hype for a while and was using it in everything (except where it didn't taste right). I still use it in a lot of things because it tastes good sometimes, but I'm no longer under the illusion that it's healthier than butter. Or that butter is inherently unhealthy.

Edit: also it's good that we were on that hype train for a while, because it prepared us to be able to cook without dairy for our baby who's allergic to it. (Hopefully not for long.)

It definitely works, but I feel like it becomes a different dish somehow. I think because it inevitably blends with the rice in a way that it doesn't with bread, crackers, corn chips, etc.

"Grits aren't good without seasoning" is not a knock against grits. There's a pretty short list of foods that are good without seasoning. It's like when people complain that vegetables or fish aren't good unless you add all kinds of stuff to them. AKA cooking.

Cutting board chat: one thing in plastic boards' favor (or other similar materials) is that many of them are made of a high enough grade plastic that they can be washed in a dishwasher, whereas few if any wood boards are dishwasher safe. And there are also other things you can use on plastic like Clorox or whatever. But if you're committed to washing by hand with regular soap/water, then yeah, wood is probably better.

definitely don't use the vanilla version of anything on mac and cheese

Confession: a few years back, I was "making" some prepackaged mac 'n cheese and I think we didn't have enough milk or something. But we did have one of those International Delight coffee creamers. It was called "Vanilla Heat". I used that instead of milk.

It was good.

(I'm actually more ashamed of having International Delight coffee creamer in the first place than I am of that flavor combination.)

As a recently ex-New Yorker, I can safely say this: although it's possible there's a benefit to using NY water to make pizza, it's extremely more likely that a lot of restaurants in other regions are simply failing to get the flavors/ingredients right. Most of the bad pizza I've eaten hasn't been mysteriously bad, it was just very obviously not made with the right blend of spices or ratio of ingredients. The dough itself usually doesn't even crack the top 10 things wrong with it.

(To be more specific, the sauce usually doesn't have enough flavor, there usually isn't enough basil/oregano in general, and the cheese is often just mozzarella instead of a blend including parmesan and others)
