We had margaritas with spice infused simple syrup. It was really good, and better than the normal martinis (aka vodka with an olive tossed in and closed bottle of vermouth waved over it) than my cousins normally make.

Please for the love of god put Vermouth in your martinis. The classic martini ratio is 2:1 with a splash of bitters. I don't know why everyone skimps on the Vermouth. Also use gin if you don't like gin don't have a martini. Most people are just doing shots of vodka and giving it a fancy name at this point.

Cerepol posted:What else do you get it with. I've got the same issue with apples unless cooked thoroughly Quite a few fruits, I have trouble with peaches and tangerines too. I never seem to have issues with oranges, bananas, or blueberries so I eat those a lot. All candy is terrible, I get painful cramps from pretty much everything. And gently caress fruit juices that uses apple juice as a filler, I've been fooled so many times!

Correct me if I am wrong, but I read that metal chopsticks are more common in Korea because after the Korean War, wood was scarce but ore wasn't.

Cardamom infused vodka/neutral spirit of choice. Strong tea w/milk Splash of cream (for extra better muddle in some butter while its hot instead of cream.) Pinch of salt. Drink while warm Chai shots! Disclaimer Too much spice infuaed stuff can be rough as gently caress on your stomach. For example saffron is actually pretty drat toxic.

I can't have raw pea pods and carrots, but don't get this way with citrus and berries. In my case there's a protein that makes my body think it's pollen or something, and cooking it gets rid of it. I bought a veggie platter a couple months ago and found out that I could only eat half of it

A proper martini: Put ice in shaker. Pour vermouth to cover ice. Shake until your hands are too cold. Drain vermouth into sink. Pour in gin. Shake again until your hands are cold. Pour gin into chilled up glass. Add ice cube to taste for more vermouth.

I don't know if that's true but it doesn't smell like bullshit, the Japanese had basically cut down every tree in Korea during the colonial period. The forests there all look kind of weird because they're replanted. Chopsticks are usually made from bamboo though.

Chop them when they're young, so you can have an endless supply of bamboo shoots. I miss those and bean sprouts being in fast food Chinese.

I'm not sure about "great", but it is probably pretty good. I always think it's odd how asian street food is considered to be something to be sought out, whereas if I saw a street food vendor in the US I would look at it like the rat burger vendor in Demolition Man.

Local people in tourist spots don't "seek out" street food vendors, just gringo tourists who have never seen such a thing before.

Sakurazuka posted:If you actually live there it's probably the same thing. Meh, anecdotally--when I was living in Thailand the street food next to the apartment was basically our local restaurant. It's not great, but it's pretty good, and it's about $1 or $1.25 a meal. I wasn't living in a tourist hotspot, nobody was seeking out my neighborhood for our stir-fry stall, but it wasn't like "ugh gross why would you eat there" I did meet a Thai person once who wouldn't eat at street stalls, but that wasn't because it's dirty, it was because she was loaded and street food was for poors.

Locals eat street food all the time everywhere I've been in Asia. The idea of "street food" as a special category is because we don't really have it in the US. It's just food here. I can go down the street right now and get barbecue, there's a guy who sets up under the elevated road at night. It is literal street food because he takes over the middle of the road with stools and stuff.

When I was at university the local high street had street food stalls in the open air market. Mostly doughnuts and chips, sometimes there was a sketchy dude selling fish out the back of his van.

In my experience street food in the US is always boiled peanuts or smoked mullet out of the back of a truck, or a sign like "fried catfish" pointing down a dirt road into a forest, so I'm a bit apprehensive of it here.

I've never gotten sick from street food. The only food that's consistently made me sick is fancy banquet places in China, they have terrible food safety practices and don't move a lot of product so it sits around and goes off so everyone gets to enjoy a week of stomach rumbling every time the company throws a party. Thank christ they don't do it often.

Taco truck? Halal chicken and rice? Hot pretzels? Roasted chestnuts (or other nuts)? Grilled cheese? Big Gay Ice Cream? US street food is awesome and, at least in Boston/NY/SF/LA/DC, the city inspects the hell out of the trucks. I'm  and have never once gotten food poisoning from street food in the US, though I've gotten it from white-tablecloth restaurants.You are missing out, my friend.

I'm imagining these guys backing up into someone's driveway, popping the back of their hatchback open having the hanging sheep carcasses flop out, then giving some fast talking spiel about how their boss bought too much sheep carcasses and they need to unload then for cheap. They'd have to talk kind of loud to speak over the drone of all the flies buzzing around.

That guy sets up at the mosque downtown around prayer time so he knows his biz. Not pictured from other times: the cooler full of sheep guts next to the van and his kid sleeping on a pile of sheep carcasses in the back seat.
