Wait, what do you think carbonara is?

Someone had a go at reconstructing this based on the ingredient label and marketing materials:

Among other things, the ingredient label is probably wrong -- it contains mayo, not milk.

The FDA fines for loving up nutrition facts or ingredient labels are not something a TikTok star can afford, she is absolutely screwed.

Usually food is a local matter. Not sure what happens when you start moving it across state lines using the postal service though.

That's just... not true at all. There are exemptions to FDA and USDA regulations for small operations selling at farmers markets and stuff, found here but any good sized company distributing food product is going to be regulated by one of those two entities, interstate or not.

This is true, I always looked forward to my visits there more than anywhere else.

One time an old fisherman picked me up in a Fjord on a frigid winter's day in Tromsø, I was heading home for my father's funeral, and my transport to the airport got hosed up, that man sat and comforted me and made small talk in his heated warehouse, plying me with coffee for almost 2 hours until my cab arrived, it's one of the nicest things anyone's ever done for me.

I feel like the abysmal native cuisine is God putting his thumb on the scales to balance everything else out.

The peas look a bit... odd. Like i'm not good at colour but they look strange.

Otherwise yeah it's fine I guess. Not the biggest fan of steak and kidney but I'd probably eat it.

Overcooked and no fat added, I think.

I've been making mushy peas fairly often, since I wanted them for one specific meal, and all I could find at the time was like 15 1lb boxes of marrowfat peas on Amazon, with the original UK nutrition facts and no US ones, which I'm pretty sure it's illegal.

Anyways, if you cook them to death they turn that matte gray/green, with no distinct peas anymore.

Nope, black pudding is blood, oats, plus barley if it is good black pudding. It mostly comes in a plastic case, yeah, but that is always removed before cooking. Fresh black pudding from a butchers comes in slices on a tray.
Some black puddings are smooth in texture, some are more rough, but none of them are at all like sausage.
Personally, I prefer white pudding, specifically the ones that are really grainy and have whole barley in them.
Those are super nice.

Black pudding is great, one day I might move to the RoI or UK just to have unlimited access to it and Doner Kebab.

It's kinda like more savory less herby breakfast sausage, it's good.

I like the stuff that still has the oats or whatever cereals they use as distinct bits, gives it a nicer texture than the paste stuff.

It's no longer banned, but is insanely expensive in the states, I had a hankering for a Full English awhile back and paid like $20 all in for a 1lb log of it, which is insane for what is essentially bread soaked in a waste product of the butchery process.

Basically all Korean food is sugary as hell. I was always amazed at there being most of an entire aisle at the grocery store that's just various kinds of corn/rice syrup.

When you cook Korean food just cut the sugar down. Don't get rid of it entirely, there is a reason why a little of it is in there, but you can pretty much cut the sugar in half on any recipe as a starting point. If it uses both sugar and corn syrup (pretty common; rice syrup is basically the same thing but English recipes will usually say corn since that's easier to get outside Korea) I skip the syrup and lower the sugar.

There's a few Korean dishes that are staples for me, and yeah, step one is cut the sugar in half and see how it tastes from there.

i think they're doing pretty exciting things with agar these days. there might be something with chickpea liquid too? but I think vegan gelatin is a less depressing idea than it was a decade ago or so

Aqua faba (fancy language for bean water, which is loving hilarious) can be used as a plant based alternative for egg whites in many things, such as meringues and to get that nice foamy layer on a cocktail. I use it for cocktails because dropping a raw egg white in a drink seems gross to me.

Dunno about its use in gelatin, but it's great stuff right out of the can, quite healthy too.

Black olives in chicken salad sounds awesome.

I get that using local ingredients is good for just about every reason, but you can like grow citrus in greenhouses, or get it from Spain by rail, it's not one of those insane things where fruit gets shipped from South America to China to be packed, then shipped back to the US.

I've been trying to get most of my produce from the local stand that only sells from farms nearby, but I'm still gonna get some limes shipped up from California, because life without citrus is sad.

I did this a lot for a snack when I was on submarines. Cooks would leave out pans of fruit cocktail and I'd get a bowl of that, then put a glob of PB on the side and put both elements on a spoon, I wouldn't mix them because it would look like that.

Peanut butter and fruit is a classic combo, it's basically the same as a PB&J.

Yep, sour cream's a go-to for mashed potatoes. Stays thicker than with milk and adds a nice little tang that goes with lots of other stuff (garlic, cheese, etc). I haven't tried Greek yogurt, but it sounds good and I imagine works out similarly.

Pain Greek yogurt or Skyr makes a really good healthy substitute for cream in a lot of recipes, I use it a lot in curries and stuff. You have to be careful not to overheat it though, or it gets weird.
