It looks like they went to the deli counter at a supermarket and bought the whole block that usually gets sliced by the deli worker. Pretty good idea if they really love cheese.

Not when they're paying the inflated by weight price. If they got that from the deli counter, they probably paid something like 5 times more than they could have buying it from an online supplier.

While I'm waiting for my pumpkin curry to finish simmering, I'll take the time to post more awful recipes. The last batch was vaguely edible, but tonight is spaghetti and alfredo night!

"Spaghetti Sauce"
Ingredients:

1 pound of breakfast sausage, usually maple flavored
1 large green bell pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 can of beer
12oz. tomato sauce
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp. garlic salt
1 tbsp garlic powder

In a skillet, brown the sausage, add chopped bell pepper and cook until soft. Add ketchup, beer, tomato sauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and spices, simmer for about 10 minutes. Add a stick of butter to create a "cream sauce" if desired.


"Alfredo Sauce"
Ingredients:

2 sticks butter
2 packages cream cheese
1 jar packaged powder "parmesan" cheese
1 can evaporated milk
1 cup whole milk
2 tbsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. dried cilantro
1 tbsp. dried parsley

In a pot, melt the butter and cook until it just begins to form brown flakes. Add the cream cheese and evaporated milk, stir constantly for about 5 minutes while slowly adding the "parmesan". When the canned cheese is fully integrated, add in the milk, garlic powder, and herbs, then simmer until thick. Serve both sauces over pasta cooked just to the point that it starts to become a slimy starch blob.

You may not believe me, but if it's sweet as gently caress, it's probably an accurate recipe.

I don't know if it's accurate but I worked in the kitchens at a Chinese restaurant for a while and never found anything overtly sweet, unless that's just an Australian Chinese thing where there's not as much focus on sweetness because the general australian population are able to eat non sweet foods and find them palatable. Even something like sweet and sour isn't so much sweet, it's fairly well balanced between the two but doesn't smack you in the face with cloying sweetness. It may just come down to the way that the local cuisine influenced the Chinese cooks I guess.

But that's what I found with the recipe I'd used - it was almost cloyingly sweet rather than just slightly sweet. This is more what my question was in regards to, why it is such a cloyingly sweet dish.

Besides, "Asian food" isn't really a usable descriptor anymore due to the more recent surge in various styles' popularities - there's way too much variance even in Chinese provincial cuisines (Hunanese style isn't Guangdong-style isn't Szechuan style) to just lump them together with Filipino/Thai/Cambodian/Viet/Japanese/Korean and call it a day.

E: to be fair though, I may have not cooked the sauce long enough to get the caramelisation in the sugars as i felt it was thick enough when I stopped it cooking so yeah

You are giving the Americans way too much credit with your talk of regional cuisines, like most people could identify that Szechuan is a different thing but probably not why

Also if it's Korean it's just got a buttload of sugar in it anway

I said "Asian food" because I have lived in three Asian countries (I would say "four" but the local government will find out that I consider Hong Kong its own thing) and find overly sweet foods to be an issue in nearly all of them, and to be fair I was talking about several countries on the same continent at once, but thanks for telling me that there are different cuisines in different countries. Never done woulda known dat!

Excuse me, I know one American who seems to understand when something is goddamn Szechuan:


Incidentally, unless it has huajiao, it's not goddamn Sichuan cuisine. "Szechuan" (quotes are not for sarcasm but to denote a difference in the nomenclature) food in the USA is generally inauthentic because for years it was impossible to bring huajiao into the USA by legal means; it was banned due to citrus blight.

Also I once had "ma po tofu" in Toronto and they put loving peas in it.

Plum sauce is a really popular condiment at Chinese places in Canada, but I don't remember ever seeing it in the US.

That sounds good as poo poo for chicken nugz, but it's definitely not Sichuan! Too funny.

Speaking of flavor balancing, I made this the other day, but forgot to take a picture, so here is a stock photo:



So this is Zuurvlees (literally "sour meat"), a specialty of the province of Limburg in the Netherlands. Traditionally horse meat is used but often it is made with beef these days (I always use horse meat because it's a lot healthier than beef, and I prefer the taste.) In addition you add onions and a few slices of "ontbijtkoek" ("breakfast cookie", the brown loaf in the background of the photo, it tastes of sugar and cloves and nutmeg) to give it a spicy cake taste, then you add about a soda can's worth of apple cider vinegar, and a crazy amount of apple-molasses, and let it slow cook for 12 hours. Somehow the flavors balance out fantastically and the flavor is really rich and layered and self-complimentary (especially if you use horse meat, which has a particular somewhat strong taste). It often looks exactly like diarrhea.

I have cooked this on three separate occasions for guests without telling them beforehand what I was serving, or I would just say "zuurvlees" and give no further explanation. This also works is you're serving pigeon meat, if people ask what you are serving and say "squab," they usually won't know what that means and feel stupid for not knowing and stop asking questions. But I'm good at cooking so everyone always tries it and then says "wow twoday, this tastes amazing, I've never tried anything like it before, what is this? How did you do this?" Then I will explain in detail, but I want them to taste it without prejudice first.

This honestly sounds like a wet jerk sauce although a wet jerk usually uses scotch bonnets. This is probably more similar to one of the strains of American BBQ that uses a non-tomato based sauce. What you're describing would be in no way out of place at a southern style cookout in most of America. Obviously using apple molasses isn't common here because we don't tend to have that around, we do use similar things to make our BBQ and slow cooker sauces but usually with tomatoes or blackstrap (or apple butter, coca cola and grape jam if you wanna get crazy).
