What's up dine bros! Finally got around to trying Kipper Snacks tonight, had a tin of Crown Prince, as that was the only brand available locally, and I have to say they were OK, certainly not offensive, but kind of boring, if that makes sense. Did some googling to figure out how they are processed, and decided that they should probably have a similar flavor level to something like brined and smoked salmon, and obviously that's not the case. I ate them on Ritz with some hot sauce, on hindsight, I should have gone with a saltier multigrain cracker, but oh well. I'm assuming that Crown Prince ones aren't anything special, so is there a stand out brand I should look out for? And how do you eat them? In probably not going to be cooking them, as my kids already think I'm trying to poison them when I crank open a can of any kind of fish, so cold preparation ideas would be best.

^ the polar brand are really nice in comparison to the other ones I've had (brunswick, chicken of the sea) but I think most of them would benefit from a little extra salt, especially on a cracker like you mentioned. they are a bit boring now that I think about it, but I still like them. I'm not able to do pickled herring @ midnight with my parents this year, but I might open up a can of sardines and share them with my brother and then have gross fish burps on my husband all night e: god I want that pickled herring wtf

Growing up, my Jewish family would get it with bagels on Sunday mornings, alongside the nova salmon. I love it like crazy, especially the Blue Hill Bay brand that I used to be able to find at Costco in huge glass jars.

I honestly don't know a lot about my family further back than grandparents but my dad (who carries on a few jewish traditions because of his parents) grew up in pennsylvania/maryland with a lot of german, polish and jewish people afaik. my (step?) grandfather that we saw really often was jewish and I loved when he'd bring us lox bagels  and make matzo brei. he also did the pickled herring thing on new year's. we always had the creamy kind of pickled herring though! e: I haven't had gefilte fish in like a decade, I wonder if I should give it a try again

I like gefilte fish, but I completely understand why others might not. I'd actually recommend it to these 'dine aficionados, another preserved fish product worth trying at least once. And I love pickled herring in sour cream sauce OR wine sauce. It's so, so good.

Pickled herring is big in the Netherlands. That's where I had it. Served with mayo and raw onion.

Does anyone know anything about eating Korean-style dried anchovies? I bought a bag of medium sized ones at H-Mart because I figured I could use them both for making stock and for snacking. Generally, I've seen online that the large ones are for stock and the tiny ones are better for snacking. I know for the large ones you are supposed to remove the heads and guts, but does that apply to the medium ones as well? The guts taste a little bit bitter but they don't bother me too much. I'm not sure if there's any health risks related to eating the guts.

Those things are eaten whole, yeah. I usually see them use scattered through other food, especially snack food, like a dry mix you might get at a bar or a roadside stop.

I like the super tiny ones they sell at H-Mart, that basically look like tiny strips. They're in a clamshell, like H-mart buys them wholesale. Really good to add to rice and a bunch of other stuff.

My local Super H-Mart is a goddamn paradise, but being the frustrated Dad I am I don't visit it nearly as often as I'd like to and I've never even thought to look for 'dines there. gently caress it, I'm going tomorrow. They've just got to have some fresh ones. I mean they have poo poo like squid brains.

The KO page said they would decide by the 11th! I hope goons take all the fishies. I really want the special sardine fork and vintage can of sardines that a goon won last year. In other 'dine news, my latest shipment of wild planet dines has 3 dines per can instead of 4, and it crosses the line in terms of texture(too big and tough, also no spine wtf). I'm totes disappointed. Will still eat because duh

Made my own hummus today here are the proportions: 1 cup dry chickpea (cooked past where you usually do until they start to fall apart -- about 1 hour if you soaked them, longer if you didn't, which you don't have to -- add a tsp of baking soda to your cooking water for smoother chickpeas at the end, if you want) (you could also do canned chikpeas I'm sure just look up how many cans = 1 cup dry, 1 cup of dry chickpeas turns into a surprisingly large volume of cooked chickpeas) 1/2 cup sesame seed (toast them -- these are cheap at a brown or asian grocery, sometimes you can even get them in bulk) 2 lemons juiced 1/2 tsp cumin 4-6 cloves garlic depending on how much you like it (I did six and that's enough to sting so it's a no-joke amount, don't go over that on your first round) chili powder or chilies if you want salt pepper and olive oil as needed Procedure: Toast sesame, add to processor with everything but chick peas. Turn that into a paste. Use olive oil (or cold water) as needed to facilitate this -- olive oil is a lot of calories but there's only so much water you can add before your hummus will taste watery so maybe for your first try rely on the oil. Whatever. Add chick peas and process until desired consistency (I like to leave texture, most sand people like to run the processor for like 4 minutes to make baby food), loosen up with oil or water again if it's too thick for you. Makes about as much as two storebought hummus tubs. If you don't want to do the seeds you can use tahini instead (maybe 1/3 cup of it?) but it's expensive, hard to work with, and frankly often tastes spoiled or bitter. raton fucked around with this message at 02:58 on Jan 8, 2017 |

Kholodets! One of the most striking dishes showcased on Hannibal, but apparently it was Mads Mikkelsen and Laurence Fishburne's least-favorite thing they had to eat on the show.

In the winter once a year I get the big can of Dinty Moore beef stew, which is often exiled out of the soup section, and is instead over by the Hormel Turkey Chili or even in the camping section of the store. This year this was the biggest can they had:  They used to have one that diameter but taller. RIP Dinty Moore Giant Can, how many pieces of yellow solid fat have I removed from thine surface over the years, before dogfood-shaking ye into the large bowl, and eating from the microwave, with the Best Spoon In The Kitchen.
