Most boba in America are terrible. Actually most boba everywhere is terrible. It’s mostly sugar. I’m constantly astonished by people who go for the 80% or 100% sugar options.

The best boba has very little or no sugar and you can truly taste the quality of the tea.

I actually *like* the vinegar taste of kewpie over regular citrus mayo. :colbert:
Also the added yolk and msg. gently caress yeah.

Hot take: adding lemon zest to baked goods just makes it taste like Fruit Loops

Mayo rules, but it can go too far p fast

Hot take: hot pot loving sucks. Yes lemme order a bunch of different ingredients that all taste the same cuz of the boiling liquid you blanch it in

Just order a shitload of mushrooms instead, they’re delicious

Mayo on sandwiches and stuff is great, except literally everywhere puts way too much. The correct amount is however much is left after you actually attempt to scrape it all off.

Mayo is the one true condiment for Pommes Frites.

I would genuinely like to hear what you might substitute for it in a California roll, as i like the texture contrast with the cucumber, but the haas (hass?) has basically no flavor.

tofu would work. maybe even smoked tofu if you're nasty.

Eh hops are fine, good in kombucha too. I hope these NA happy beers take off because the only thing more annoying than a new IPA is a new imperial IPA and maybe not pale beers could be brewed!

I'm super super happy the lactose beers were a quick fad.

50:50 mix of Young's Double Chocolate Stout and Lineman's Kriek is utterly delicious. You don't want to drink more than about 4-6 oz. of it (meaning you can split 2 bottles between 3-4 people), but it's a fantastic dessert drink.

that's fair i guess. they just serve them in standard bottles/cans or like pints so it ends up not being a lot of fun

Avocado on sandwiches isn't good. Its mild flavor gets overwhelmed by everything else, and its texture is just sort of mushy and boring. Plus, I've never eaten a sandwich at a restaurant that contained avocado that was obviously seasoned; you can't expect the rest of the ingredients (even if they're salty, like bacon) to do the heavy lifting. It really needs salt to make it worth eating in any application.

These are super popular in the city where I grew up, 2 avocados per sandwich and they are loving delicious

there's still an almost absurd amount of IPAs, but yeah theres a lot more variety nowadays. way more pilsners and kolschs - presumably because they're tired of hearing that line about how IPAs hide their imperfections by being stuffed full of hops, and how a QUALITY brewery would be able to make a good pilsner because it can't hide behind anything

The American obsession with white meat is a special kind of dumb. Dark meat — drumsticks and thighs — are way better nearly all of the time and command a premium in many other countries.

I don’t know poo poo about beer and can’t be bothered to learn. I have determined the IPAs aren’t my thing, but every hefeweizen I’ve had has been perfectly drinkable. So now when I do get dragged to a brewery I can order without hesitation, despite having no idea what makes a hefeweizen a hefeweizen.

Chicken thighs have been gradually getting more expensive the last couple years, more so than breasts. I fear people are catching on that it’s the tastiest part of the bird. (And the easiest to cook properly)

I'm back to breaking down whole birds after years of just eating thighs.

A few years ago a brewery opened up just a couple miles down the road from us and I was excited to try it. And the beer is good. Trouble is they charge way more than any tap room I've been to and the beer is only good but they're charging premium prices.

Like, no I don't want to spend $18 on a 32 oz growler of a basic stout that would cost me $8 at my favorite brewery... which is two hours away. :sigh:

Proper beer is brewed in Germany and the Czech Republic. Traditional British ale is acceptable. Belgian beer is a failed attempt at making wine out of malt and hops.

I was going to write something disparingly about natural wine, especially biodynamic, but that really can't be a hot take.
