Metaline posted:Those Brussels sprouts chips are loving good, actually. I grabbed some with Roast Turkey ships at a British shop last year for laughs and was surprised by the flavour.

Most people seem to have grown up on sulfur tasting boiled to poo poo sprouts (me included) and gently caress those suck rear end.

Speaking of questionable chips though  Anyways, I don't know where else to put this, because it isn't exactly afp but it is pretty funny https://twitter.com/Hatsuu/status/1205087701562585088

Halve or quarter the sprouts then fry them with lardons or caraway seeds. Parboil them before frying if you prefer but be very careful not to overdo it. Overboiled sprouts are foul but that goes for any overboiled veg.

It turns out it's really hard to gently caress up roasting a plant but really easy to gently caress up boiling one.

Brussels sprouts are amazing and I didn't discover them until I was an adult because my parents didn't like them growing up, so we never cooked them when I was growing up. Roasted is best, of course, but even over-boiled, they can be pureed into a nice soup if doctored up well. Touch of sour cream or yogurt and well-seasoned, you have a nice winter soup. I've never met a cruciferous vegetable that I didn't love, sulfurous or not. I guess I love foods that taste and smell like both dirt and farts, apparently.

My dislike of sprouts comes from every time I had them as a kid, biting into one and having them pop like an eyeball in your mouth. The mushiness and flavor weren't great either, but it's the explosion of gooey sprout juice in your mouth that really put me off

This is not how Brussels Sprouts work, or at least how they should. E: Now I want to pick up some sprouts to roast, to go with the Turkey, kale, and lentil soup I made with my turkey Carcass, so I can loving annihilate the office tomorrow. Elviscat has a new favorite as of 17:53 on Dec 12, 2019 |

thecluckmeme posted:North Dakotan here, what the gently caress is a Spritz Cookie? It's a butter cookie that's made with a very soft dough that you extrude through a special cookie press. The press will have several different disc-shaped dies that make different cookie shapes (little wreaths, trees, ribbons...). Very tasty and traditional in some parts of the US. In fact, when that picture was posted my first thought was that it should have been spritzen for Nebraska.

At this point, I'm pretty sure that most maps like that are totally made up with no data. Also I'm surprised nobody reacted at the fish gonads. Even if you don't know what they are, that's a lot of gloop.

Well, praline makes sense for Louisiana, even if it's not really a cookie. It's also horribly mispronounced outside of the state; if you hear someone pronounce it "PRAY-leen" then you can be sure they have no idea what they're talking about and they are definitely not from southern Louisiana, from where the American praline originates.

Wayne's World is probably where most people heard of pralines for the first time, so that's how I pronounce it, also "and dick"

I always assumed a spritz cookie was some kind of lemon-flavored cookie. The ones from the cookie press, I heard called form cookies.

My family lived in NY state for at least four generations, and we always called them spritz cookies. My sister still has a metal one that's 3 generations old. That was one of the highlights of Xmas, tinting some of the dough green, cranking it through that little tree shape, then decorating the trees with colored sugar and non-pareil "ornaments". The swirly shape, you stuck a Hershey's kiss in the middle. (Please do not start a "Hershey's tastes like vomit" derail, I'm already sad that I'll never make those cookies with my mom again.  )

That was one of the highlights of Xmas, tinting some of the dough green, cranking it through that little tree shape, then decorating the trees with colored sugar and non-pareil "ornaments". I grew up in California but with extended family in the midwest. Somehow I ended up with all of the handed-down cookie-making equipment, and it's really nice to have. I don't make a lot of cookies each year anymore but the thing that is nice about those old metal spritz presses is that they are big enough to hold a couple of cookie sheets' worth of dough at a time, and if you chill it, the metal tube helps the dough to not go saggy too fast. I'd never diss anybody's holiday cookie traditions; we had some strange ones but everybody remembers them fondly. Maybe you should make a batch of the ones with the Hershey's kisses just for the memories and to hand out to friends/fam, because I'm betting that people would really enjoy them  Which is basically to say that while this is the food snark thread, the sentimental side of holiday cookies gets complete immunity and I'll fight anybody who says nay to that. Spritz presses at twenty paces!

Keen to see if the praline pronunciation purists will say PRAH-leen or will be like “well technically it’s a French past participle, praliné  ”
