BlankIsBeautiful posted:I totally love "un-topped" spaghetti, and when I make it, I eat about 3 or 4 forkfuls to "test it". I would generally eat it either with a small amount of salad dressing to stop it drying out, or with something oily like smoked salmon, but yes I also eat forkfulls of the stuff out of the pan when it's cooking. Might have to try it with a little dish of melted garlic butter or something, that sounds good. The Bloop posted:This has indeed dechilled a usually chill thread. I mean, I'd try it if you took it off the tomato. Enfys posted:If you eat that thing, it will haunt you forever. You'll wake up in the middle of the night and it will be sitting on your bedside table, just staring at you. Glad I am not the only one who thought it was a chameleon.

Haifisch posted:Another victim of the ranch wars. One day, when serving a double-bacon-burger with onion rings and a plate of disco fries, a customer asked for salad dressing. I named off the various salad dressing we have, starting with ranch, because I figured I'd be cut off right there. I was, but by them angrily saying, "SALAD. DRESSING." I repeated, "We have a number of salad dressings, I'm just not sure which one you want." "They said SALAD. DRESSING. MAYONNAISE!" comes angrily out of their dining partner. It's not that they wanted mayonnaise for their plates of grease and carbs, it's that they assumed that everyone would know that 'salad dressing' meant mayonnaise and I was a fool for suggesting otherwise.

I blame Kraft foods; Miracle Whip (aka that imitation mayonnaise poo poo) explicitly has the words "Salad Dressing" on the bottle. Still, using that to refer to mayo and mayo-like products is strictly a Southern thing, as far as I know.

More from the cookbook from another age:  I was unaware American cheese was available in any form other than plastic square.  Liquefy your pork, then add gelatin. Conveniently this cookbook comes furnished with 175 envelopes of gelatin.  We missed the golden age. The golden age of pimento.

It also comes in plastic rectangle forms at the deli, where they can slice off the plastic squares for you. Or you can just buy it in bulk and, apparently, shred it on your microplane. I regret not taking my phone with me to the local Waffle House. The only thing more depressing than a plate of hashbrowns with a single, sad kraft single melted atop it is the fact that I got it from a place that made me pay money for it.

In the Italian neighborhood I grew up in mayo meant Miracle Whip so the first time I had actual mayo as a teen, it was a bit of a surprise because it tasted so awfully bland. I still can't see how plain mayo's such a big deal with some, and yes the picture that floats around the forums of the lady eating mayo with a spoon out of the jar still makes me cringe.

You can get normal blocks of it at delis. It can actually be quite good, nothing like a Kraft single. Also fun to make your own with citric acid for burger melting purposes.

I had "pear salad" at my grandma's house as a kid: iceberg lettuce, canned pear halves dolloped with mayo, shredded cheddar from a baggie. My mom explained later that it's better with cottage cheese instead. Ugh. Food flashbacks. My grandma also described Miracle Whip as "spicy" because anything tangy, smoky, peppery, or extremely salty was "spicy" to her.

Christ almighty. Meanwhile one of my friends describes sriracha as a "sweet garlic sauce" and doctors his with the addition of some kind of atomic death chili oil "to give it a little kick." I feel like if you crossed him with my grandma you'd get a person who could actually eat a decent pad thai without losing consciousness from either chemical trauma or boredom.

tbf some sriracha is mostly just sweet and garlic without much heat. It's known as Bad Sriracha.

I mean, my sole comparison is "is a square slice of american cheese"; I know calling Kraft singles "american cheese" is like calling pizza a sandwich, but when you look as depressing as this: It's hard not to make depressing comparisons.

Would so hard. The only time in my life I've gotten properly hot food in a restaurant was in a pakistani place and I had to eat there 3 times before the owner believed I wanted "spicy" instead of "spicy for whitey".

I very rarely eat out, but one time a few years back in a basic Finnish restaurant I ordered a "chili burger" not really expecting much. It had like, pureed habanero as the sauce, and a whole one stuck on top as a garnish. There was some sweating involved but I finished it. It was a bit of a shock, and I always wondered if that's really the way they always make it and if it was a popular item.

elise the great posted:Christ almighty. I have a bottle of 6 million SHU hot sauce, which is recommended for use as a cooking additive only. I gave it to one of my friends at work and she put a drop of it straight on her tongue. Coughed once, put the bottle down, and then shrugged and asked why it wasn't any hotter. I let my best friend (who's a no-bullshit masochist) lick the cap residue, and she actually loved how much it made her lose feeling in her tongue.

I had a similar experience with a jolokia burger in Chico's(i know, i know) like ten years back. The difference between that and the pakistani place is that while the burger tasted like someone dumped a bunch of chili in an ashtray, the vindaloo I had at the pakistani place had a goddamn beautiful balance of flavours that weren't covered up by the chili. So I guess technically I've had properly hot food twice, except the first time was a garbage burger.

von Braun posted:What is salad dressing? A vinaigrette? It's erm, like mayonnaise except it has other things in it. I'm not sure what but I would guess probably worcestershire sauce, it goes nice with smoked fish and a teaspoon or so in a sandwich can be good if it's a dry sandwich. Generally I prefer it to mayo because it actually has a flavour whereas mayo is just sort of oily mostly flavourless goop. http://www.heinz.co.uk/Products/Salad_Cream/Products/Heinz-Salad-Cream Salad cream, I guess, rather than dressing. Looks like it's fake mayo with mustard and vinegar in it. Tastes like tangy mayonnaise. OwlFancier has a new favorite as of 15:40 on Oct 7, 2017 |
