yeah I use buttermilk and/or sour cream in mine and that kicks them up pretty good. There's an episode of Jacques Pepin where he makes mashed potatoes and he talks about a chef he knows in france that makes some kind of ridiculously rich mashed potatoes at his restaurant that are like 50/50 potato to butter ratio lol

ArbitraryC posted:Sadly there's not enough social shame over this because most americans are fat and only capable of eating things that come from a bag that either give them at least half the salt they should be eating that day or consist entirely of sugar shaped to resemble actual food. Been to plenty of lunch meetings with people well into their 40s who literally pick green things out of their meal and there's pretty much always at least one. im fat as hell and i pretty much eat anything except for offal (except for hearts/livers), raw tomatoes, and black olives (still eat kalamatas) , hth

ArbitraryC posted:How can people gently caress up cooking basic vegetables I never understand this. Chop up some brocolli, carrots, and mushrooms, mix em with a bit of olive oil and salt/pepper, bake in a casserole dish with a lid and eat them when they're at your preferred doneness. It's like impossible to screw up but every time I've made it as a side dish for someone they're always like "how did you make brocolli taste so good?" What exactly are people doing with brocolli to make it bad? imagine yourself being a suburban homemaker slowly sobering up from your drug of choice. its almost dinnertime and you bought these vegetables that you haven't eaten in years because you decided your howling child needs some nutrition other than chicken nuggets. oh yeah, you also have zero culinary background. edit: TEAYCHES posted:yeah i know plenty of people who arent picky eaters at all but are fat because while they eat a diverse amount of food, they eat a whole lot of it. my dad eats nothing but indian and thai and loves seafood and cooks all sorts of poo poo but hes enormous food owns, lol if you want to live in a state other than constant gluttony

well like I said, literally boiling them submerged in water was a common way for people to cook them for a long time. btw you can step your casserole game up - cut up the broccoli and toss in a bowl with olive oil, salt (and garlic or whatever) and toss it to coat, don't use a ton of oil, then spread it on a foil lined cookie sheet and roast it at like 400. Shake it around a little when you think it's 'half way done' and it kinda crisps the edges, it's real good son.

There's a lot of foods I could imagine screwing up because there's technique involved in cooking them, but not like simple vegetables as a side dish. That's like being unable to change a tire level of life incompetence. ArbitraryC fucked around with this message at 01:50 on Feb 20, 2015 |

i can see mashed potatoes being like grits if you get that "instant" potato sand and don't add enough water, but everything still manages to cook through edit: the best way to cook all vegetables is, like every other food, to grill them. hth

Big Beef City posted:
That's how my aunt makes mashed potatoes, it's all white potatoes and tons of butter whipped into an almost pudding consistency. I hate it but everyone in my family talks about how great they are every Christmas. Grits are supposed to be ridiculously buttery but they can still have some texture, when you do that with potatoes it just overwhelms the potato texture and is basically warm, thickened butter that feels and tastes kinda gross. I always boiled broccoli because that's how my parents did it, I never even tried steamed or roasted broccoli at home before like three years ago. I still like boiled broccoli though and if I want to be really nasty I'll even melt some Velveeta on it. Velveeta is my dirty, shameful secret.

I used to think eating brains was gross then I found it the Mexican restaurant down the street has secretly been feeding me cow brain for years, so I have come around and brains are actually really tasty when cooked properly. Inversely I also discovered that calamari in a lot of restaurants is actually just fried pig butthole, and I just don't know I feel about that.

And I shouldn't have to pay octopus prices for a bunch of pig rear end they were just going to throw away or turn into hotdogs or school lunches or whatever.

Like it's drat clear she is just a baby about raw tomato texture when she wolfs down Ketchup and Pizza like its going out of style. as someone who worked in food service for most of my working life, i am 100% in agreement with you. we used to have this couple who came in at least once a week and they would immediately hand the server this piece of construction paper listing somewhere around 35 ingredients that would cause them discomfort or outright kill them. What is the loving point when your throat swells up if you so much as look at a clove of garlic? also, note that "seasonings" was spelled "seasnongs" which really led an aura of credibility to the whole thing Nomadologique posted:fod CIKS!" you know me all too well
