FreudianSlippers posted:The Coop in Växjö did have some sort of Balkan pastry called "Burek", which was absolutely fantastic, but not even a trace of bagels. Turkish, actually. Countries that were part of the Ottoman empire still have a lot of Turkish influenced cuisine like Börek.

Being in Italy is no guarantee of excellent pizza everywhere and the presumption of this is how so many poo poo pizza restaurants bilk idiot tourists for money. Maybe the worst pizza I've ever had in a restaurant was in Naples literally the home of pizza.

I have a vegan friend who likes the vegan burger at McDonald's so we've been together more times than I would like recently, anyway the way he puts ketchup on his fries is to squeeze a line of ketchup along each fry individually as he eats it and I'm beginning to think he's a serial killer Apparently he doesn't like the idea of just squeezing out the sauce onto the paper thing or the burger box lid or something less insane

Tiggum posted:I can see it with my eyes and recognise what it is because it's a type of meal I've eaten before. It's possible that the specific example in the photograph is made badly, but there's no reason to assume that. I have a reputation for defending British food but you're barking up the wrong tree here m9, pick your battles. There's plenty of reasons to assume that stew is made badly, going off the rest of the evidence: - a sad ground pepper pot and HP sauce as the condiments - poo poo white sliced bread - huge chunks of carrot in the stew - large pile of unseasoned boiled potatoes - unearned sense of pride in throwing the above together That stew is gonna be bland and watery as gently caress

Lol no, in a decent stew that demonstrated any understanding of cooking techniques the carrots would have been diced small as part of a mirepoix/soffrito to impart their sweetness to the whole dish instead of just being big lumps of either mush or underdone depending on when they were added. And a decent hunk of crusty bread with some actual bite to it would be infinitely preferable to add some textural contrast to the rest of the dish.

OwlFancier posted:Is that actually what a burrito is? I've never honestly been quite sure cos yeah we only have wraps here. Come on m9 I know your whole shtick is bumbling brit baffled by the existence of weird foreign muck but there's been (poo poo) burritos in the UK for fuckin ages There's overlap between burritos and wraps but generally I'd say a burrito should be larger, more stuffed, tightly wrapped, and the filling should generally have some kind of carb in there (rice or fries in the case of breakfast burritos) and beans. Also should be served hot. All burritos are wraps but not all wraps are burritos.

that looks like poo poo mac n cheese but not because of the presence of peas. i could see an argument that mac n cheese should be purely pasta and a cheese sauce, and the addition of any other ingredients makes it a cheesy pasta bake, but still, peas ain't the problem there i'd also argue that plenty of people's definition of mac n cheese includes non pasta/cheese things, like bacon, or breadcrumb topping etc

AARD VARKMAN posted:He posts a video basically every day and I watch them religiously In the first video he says 'diet tepsi', which means 'diet tray/plate'. It's obviously ironic as the plate is full of different kinds of Turkish delight and other incredibly sugary Turkish sweet things. In the second video he's talking a bunch of weird poo poo. He speaks Turkish really weirdly and takes pauses in weird spots that made it difficult for me to translate but my Turkish friend and her family helped: "My loving heart has wings like a bird. My world is beautiful with Antep cheese, life is sweet with Antep cheese". Gaziantep is a city and region in Turkey renowned for its food, including pistachios, to the point that pistachio in Turkish is Antep fıstık, literally 'Antep peanut', which should go some way to explaining his pistachio shtick.

Being British I'd never experienced thanksgiving until last year when my American friend invited me to her place along with her parents vising from the US I specifically asked if they'd have green bean casserole because of hearing about it here, and they made it and I thought it was great. Probably they used fresh beans though. My friend said they'd never cooked it during her childhood but her dad was happy because he used to have it on the thanksgiving table growing up. Seems a dish that's much more than the sum of the parts

Facebook Aunt posted:If you make instant mash potato flakes try replacing 1/2 cup of the fluid with sour cream. Mix the sour cream and remaining fluid so it isn't lumpy. It makes the mash potatoes richer, creamer, and the sourness of the sour cream really adds something. Like the innards of a nice baked potatoes with sour cream and chives. Mixing dairy into mash is almost necessary - obviously butter, but also milk, or sour cream, I've used Greek Yoghurt sometimes

Zipperelli. posted:Nice! is literally the store-brand for Walgreens. Where the gently caress did you get biscuits from? The picture itself is a bottle of water. The first weird out of place comment was SlothfulCobra, to even bring up store brands at all was irrelevant in response to someone else saying "hey lol I also have a picture of the product name 'nice', price '69' juxtaposition. It seemed like a mission to advertise Walgreens store brand. I'm almost certain Helith doesn't think every single package with Nice on it must contain biscuits, as you say there was literally a bottle of water in the picture, but they were confused by SlothfulCobra's bringing up of brands. A confused reply to a weird reply. Now your post is a confused reply to a confused reply to a weird reply and we're an ouroboros of idiot posters.
