Slow cookers are worthless if you own an electric pressure cooker and they turn chicken into a pile of inedible mush. The only reason I haven't given mine away is that it is still the easiest way to make cannabis coconut oil.

I think the mayo in the US and outside of the US must taste fundamentally different because imagining that being Hellman's mayo makes me gag.

So the thing is that usually the mayo employed on fries and such is subtly different from normal mayo, I know here in Denmark it's called "salad mayonnaise." I think the main difference is that it's slightly more viscous and notably less sweet than "normal" mayonnaise.

Hellmans is a perfectly acceptable mayo for fries. You can always add garlic, hot sauce or other flavorings. As long as it isn't ketchup it's good.

yeah, the dutch and belgians use fritesaus which is a little tangier and sweeter, probably a little looser overall and closer to a sauce compared to what i think most americans imagine as a glob of mayo

The mayo that I've had in Belgium on fries like that is more akin to homemade mayo than US jarred mayo. But even their jarred mayo is leagues better than ours. Europe in general, does condiments exceptionally well.

Taco Bell hot sauce is vastly better than what was essentially ketchup with diced onion and bell pepper

Old el paso sells taco kits with "extra mild" sauce in the Commonwealth.

When mild is just too spicy.

When I was in London for two weeks, the Indian food was terrific, but everything else was poo poo. Like people from London were telling me "you have to go to this place!" and then it was just bland as gently caress.

I will say the beef dripping popcorn at Flat Iron was delightful. Much more subtle than the bacon overload you get with apps in the states.

Hot take: putting a full meal on top of a Bloody Mary is dumb and means each component is bad on its own.

I've always been curious about elements of this, specifically the origins of phall curry. How is the place with a reputation for bland as gently caress food also the place where you get the extra spicy version of someone else's ethnic food? Who were the phall people? Are these just British edgelords trying to outdo one another by eating excessively spicy food?

It was invented by guys in Bangladeshi restaurants up England way, mainly for the sake of proving how spicy a dish you could take if you ate it. That's basically it.

The Hong Kong egg tarts (dan tat) are so much better than the original Portuguese version (pastel de nata) because it's not overwhelmingly sweet. Yeah there's a slight hint of savory scrambled egg flavor mixed in there but it's intentional drat it!

The 'bland as gently caress' stereotype is from the 1950s, before curry restaurants were much of a thing over here. Given what non-ethnic white Americans were cooking up in the 1950s, it's very much a throwing stones from glass houses thing. That said phal specifically is the 'guy in his 20s after 6 lagers trying to impress his mates' stereotype.

The Phall and the far hotter Tindaloo were made because pissed idiots kept asking for the hottest thing on the menu.

Americans do this weird thing of holding onto odd stereotypes about the UK far longer than anyone else.
