That said, Hiroshima style is known for being tedious just because it's basically like making a crepe then putting a slaw on top then put some stir fried noodles and then flip it all onto an omelette. I like the fluffy pancake clusterfuck one personally, idk if that's a specific style but the one with the crosshatched kewpie on top after a worcestershire/soy/sweet shellacking. I used to go to Doya Doya for lunch in North Torrance. They were Osaka style. Soooooo good. Too bad they closed.

I’m watching Jamie Oliver on Jamie’s 15 minute meals from the UK. The British are super bad at making Mexican food. He’s making chili con carne and the recipe is atrocious. He just described corn tortillas as “basically corn on the cob that’s been milled and dried flat”. While I suppose that is technically true it’s just a really weird way to describe corn tortillas. Like, are they really that an unusual ingredient that you guys have to describe them to each other? Also the base of his chili is chickpeas and bell peppers. The amount of cumin he used was just a pinch. Salt and pepper are literally the major seasonings he’s using. He just finished it with brown rice. There was all of 1/2 red chili in this chili. WTF you people should be ashamed of yourselves. British Empire my rear end. Croatoan fucked around with this message at 13:51 on Jul 27, 2018 |

Just look at the evolution of curry in that country. Oh, just boil the meat and dump in a load of raw spices, wow this smells bad. Can't belive they eat this over at the foreign office.

Mexican food is bad in Britain, as there have always been comparatively few Mexicans. Most of our concept of Mexican food is basically tex mex that then gets put through the Englification grinder.

Yeah, the Uk and here in australia, we just don't get it, because we literally don't get good fresh ingredients (what's a tomatillo or edible cactus lol) or the people from there living here. We're more likely to have good cheap and fresh Asian and Indian food and ingredients. As far as his description of corn tortillas, you certainly aren't going to be able to source any fresh ones, at best you'll get shelf stable horrible old overpriced mission or old el paso brands that ruin your guts with all their preservatives. E: I always just use wheat local freshly made lebanese flatbreads myself. Blame the fact the gently caress all Mexicans live in europe or australia - the border is far far away and they're not interested. If you go there or here you're just going to have to get used to mexican is just not done - embrace indian, malay, viet, indo or thai as a substitute instead and enjoy it and forget mexican food even exists. The british empire gave up on the USA long before you invaded mexico Fo3 fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Jul 27, 2018 |

I will give them credit for inventing the chip butty. I thought that would be the dumbest sandwich I’ve ever had and they are actually one of my favorite guilty pleasures now. I also remember one Britt who tried to make buffalo wings but the buffalo sauce was a mix of sweet Thai chili sauce and margarine. He was really dumb and I kind of miss that guy. It was super easy to dunk on him. Other than curries I assume you guys just don’t really like spicy food?

Fo3 posted:That's a bad assumption. Assume uk and the empire doesn't like old el paso, mission brands or overpriced tex mex. Authentic stuff is not an option when so far away from Mexico, so it loses out to authentic stuff that actual immigrants brought. from my experience the actual immigrants are the only ones who can cook or season.

I spent a summer working in Ireland and England, and yes, the vast majority of those people just don't like flavor. And yes, the Irish were worse. The other fun thing was telling people that "Chili Con Carne" isn't actually a Mexican dish... this would blow their minds, and most of them would actually try and argue the point with me!!! "Stupid Americans, you think that you invented EVERYTHING!"

I thought about that too. Wasn’t it basically invented on the Prairie with wagon trains? As far as Irish food I’ve always heard that it was basically British food just boiled. Is that a exaggeration or misconception?

ive made many different types of okonomiyaki, I highly suggest sticking to just the pancake style for your first couple dozen times. the noodle version is just tooooo fuckin hard for an amateur to do well. I think I'm a pretty decent cook, and have seen it made first hand in japan, and still have never pulled it off to my liking after a half dozen tries. also even when I've had a noodle one cooked by someone else, I just don't like it as much - so dunno, could be biased.

You know any amount of spice is deadly to the citizens of the UK unless it comes in the form of vindaloo. Edit: used my "Paris bistro mix" expensive beans to make a sausage bean soup today in my new InstantPot. These beans are faaaaaaantastic.

So, I get the idea to go to the Milwaukee Public Market to pick up some fresh cheese, and might as well get some ground beef and bacon while there because burgers. Always bring ice packs along with you kids, in case something like your ride breaking down happens. They were delicious though:

Croatoan posted:So I got a free new foodsaver system. Why do I want this? I want to eventually do sous vide so I guess this is like half of that set up but is this really that handy? Man does it take up a lot of space. I'm a huge evangelist of foodsavers. Sous vide, sure, including egg dishes in jars. But aside from that, here's what I vacuum: 1: Hard cheeses. Buy the big chunks, de-rind, chunk, put in bag with extra space, pull out pieces as needed. 2: Dry goods that I don't use often enough to keep in a flour canister (ie everything but flour and rice) -- tapioca starch, cornmeal, cocoa powder, etc. 3: Yeast by the pound (SAF), keep an ounce at a time in a jar in my fridge, put the rest in a vacuum jar or bag in freezer, lasts for years. 4: Spices in jars. 5: Tamales for freezing (we do a tamale party in December every year, and each participating household takes home about 40-50 tamales of various sorts). 6: Ricotta gnocchi, frozen on a sheet pan until hard, then vacuumed and back in freezer. Open bag, dump in boiling water, gnocchi in <5 minutes. Two important pieces of advice: 1: Never buy foodsaver brand rolls or, worse, precut bags. Generic bags on Amazon are just fine, here's the ones I bought last, they're perfectly good: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CQ8IXIK 2: Buy a mason jar sealer matching whichever mouthsize you have more of (I use widemouths for everything, so I got https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005TN7H turns a standard mason jar and lid into a vacuum jar.

British food can be good, the food culture here has improved an enormous amount since I was born. Jamie Oliver is a lowest common denominator huckster, who ruins good food by trying to make literally everything quick and easy for people who never cook. And to those who claim the only spicy food we eat is curry, I would suggest you have your next corn dog dipped in English mustard.
