This is like the ninth time I’ve made the Serious Eats chile verde and I swear every time I make it the more it comes out weirdly, almost inedibly sweet. What the gently caress is going on here? Is that just how tomatillos are?

In fact thinking about it a bit more it’s like both too sweet and too sour. What the poo poo.

Excuse me, pardon me, sheer perfection coming through
tomatillos can be pretty sweet sometimes, just like other nightshades. not saying that's what's happening here but it also wouldn't surprise me.

yeah, I've never wound up with a sweet salsa verde. i blister all my tomotillos, peppers, onions, etc over charcoal and that helps add some smokiness before blitzing in a blender with cilantro and garlic and citrus. i make big batches and freeze em

I'm relieved to learn that when it comes to meats, "uncured" means "cured but differently" and not what I thought of "not preserved at all, you better eat this bacon soon". No idea why, guess I don't eat meat that much. I somehow knew that bacon tasted pretty similar no matter which package I got.

It only really mattered to me today when I bought uncured pepperoni at the farmer's market and just kinda hoped it'd go as well in pizza as "regular" pepperoni. Looks like I'm good to go!

to be labeled cured iirc it has to have pink salt as a nitrate. If you use like celery salt to cure you have to label it uncured.

I love it and I think it would make a great hot sauce

Whatever mighty hot sauce McDonald’s is using lately for their spicy McNuggets tastes really close to Korean Chile flakes and I love it

Celery extract is just nitrates. It sounds better to people who don’t understand cured meats. But is the same thing.

It’s the same thing in theory but the product is worse because people who buy celery cured poo poo are too stupid to care about taste.

I pretty much stopped going to Whole Foods because all their cured stuff is crummy quality celery cured nonsense.

Oh so it’s not just me. So many expensive packs of lovely “uncured bacon” I’ve given up on store bought bacon now.

Well, finally did it. I took about 15 unused Hello Fresh spice packets and combined them into a big blend of random spices that I've labeled HF Madness. At some point this week, I'm going to spin the wheel of flavor and see what I get.

It won't have that authentic Hello Fresh flavor unless you zest a bunch of citrus into it. Whoever makes up their recipes loves zest.

It's mostly just spicy. I've used it two or 3 times and it's OK. It was heavy on korean chile flakes, regular chile flakes, a bit of southwest seasoning, warm and smoky, assorted paprika, with a bit of whatever they call their harissa powder, one tunisian thing, garlic powder, and italian seasoning. Basically, I think I'm going to go with it wherever I might otherwise use a pinch of cayenne or maybe pepper flakes. I was sort of hoping for something wackier.

Reminds me of the cooking tournament on Food network I watched yesterday. She dumps garam masala and coconut milk into her dish and calls it a Thai curry, where it is served to the judge who's specialty is Thai cuisine.

I'm imagining how much garam masala you'd have to use to get it to cut through the coconut milk and I'm imagining it came out just a touch gritty. ugh.

Am I an insane person that I finally got to trying a dry-aged ribeye and I didn't like it? The nutty flavor was so strong, and while I can understand while people would like it, I really would have preferred a normal ribeye.

I don't particularly care for dry aged beef either. It kinda tastes like old beef that someone forgot in the fridge to me. It's a slightly alarming flavor. I get why people like it, it's just too much "hmm am I sure I trust this steak?" for me to enjoy.

Agree. I mentioned this to a chef friend and was told that dry aged should really be cooked a temp above your usual preference or even slightly higher for the best taste. I haven’t tried it but may give it one more shot.
