Solice Kirsk posted:We should start an Apocalypse Cooking Show and feature poo poo like this. Foods with shelf lifes of 10+ years and the awesome recipes to cook with them. Can someone think of a way to make a flourless carrot cake out of 10 year old carrots and raisins? Some website (I think Huffington Post?) did a thing similar to that, but unfortunately it didn't involve any actual cooking or realistic restrictions. They just got a bunch of professional chefs to decide on 3 ingredients they would use for the rest of their lives in a post-apocalyptic bunker, assuming they also had machines that could provide unlimited flour and oil as well. If you want to see creative cooking, try the earlier episodes of Cutthroat Kitchen before they start going toward "Cook everything blindfolded while being chased by bees." The chefs actually come up with some really creative ways to get around their handicaps, like only being able to use a wok upside-down (roast peanuts by building a meat border around the top of the wok!) or having to replace all of your apples for pork chops and apple sauce with sour apple hard candy (melt the candy into syrup and mix it with balsamic vinegar to balance the sweetness!). One especially impressive episode later had a woman trying to bake a custard pie with all of her heat sources except a microwave removed. She managed to bake it through careful, repeated nukings for short times and whisking in between. Turns out that grandmother saddled with the microwave was from a household that had to use a microwave for most cooking, so she had become very proficient in using it for things other than reheating leftovers and frozen dinners.

ServoMST3K posted:I really want to try kimchi sometime, but kimchi beer seems like too much fermented stuff in one mixture. I'd be worried about turning into a human/yeast hybrid. Good kimchi is pretty baller if you like that kind of taste. The best way to describe typical cabbage kimchi is cabbage flavored with vinegar, spices, and chili sauce. I personally enjoy pickled mushrooms a good deal.

Data Graham posted:But if you're eating at the Carnegie Deli it's not because you're there for the day-to-day practicality, it's because you've got tickets to Radio City in two hours and you've already budgeted for a night to regret, so $25 for a pile of dry pastrami while crammed into a phone-booth-sized table while people mill around you with no room to even stand sounds like a good way to pass the time I think if you're in the vicinity of Radio City, there's a hundred better restaurants than Carnegie Deli. Especially if you're one of the tourists willing to walk more than 3 blocks.

cbservo posted:This is my first attempt at Gumbo. I never really cooked until recently, when divorce made it kinda necessary. That actually looks very similar to Trader Joe's refrigerated Thai coconut milk curry. I just had some today and it tastes surprisingly delicious for refrigerated, reheated curry. But it does look pretty unappetizing and dull.

Semisponge posted:My dad grew up in Indiana in the 40s and sometimes talks about the food. Oregano was an exotic spice to be used sparingly, and he ate pizza for the first time as a teenager. I'll have to ask if they ate a ton of canned food. I remember hating visiting his mom's house because the food she cooked was always insanely salty and it invariably featured some sort of green vegetable with all the green boiled out of it, and then salted. That sort of poo poo is why people think they don't like vegetables. I was doing some research on food history because of all the "White people food is gross and bland" jokes and it seems like what most people joke about as "white people food" is actually just food descended from poverty and is usually eaten by the poor still today. World War II helped kill a lot of the use of spices and interesting foods in America and the UK due to rationing and American cuisine suffered in the 19th century with the large portion of the population engaging in travel and settlement, so only the really egalitarian parts of the populations continued eating anything awesome. We're finally now in an age where people are rich enough and transport is cheap enough that you can create virtually any world cuisine with as much or as little spice as you want for a low price, but the momentum of the past has kept the shittier stuff going.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:Do you mean poor as in not wealthy or as in pitiable? Because if it's the former you can buy plenty of "real" cheese for less than velveeta charges for their weird logs. What kind of area are you talking about? There's a lot of places in the US where Walmart is the only game in town, and some people are so isolated that just going there is a 45 minute drive. That's why the whole theory of a "food desert" exists: an area where food is very common and cheap in terms of raw calories, but it's not necessarily healthy or high quality.

When all you've had is a Baker's or a Food World (and a Piggly Wiggly for the riff-raff), Publix rolls in all first-world-looking and everyone goes nuts. Oh my god, they serve hot soup at the deli! Oh my god, somebody is mopping the floor! I have to wear shoes here?! Where's the spitoon?! This place is classy! Some Publix's also have higher end and organic products, as well as fresh meat counters that actually serve nice meats. Scathach posted:I totally thought those were pop-culture myths or something.

Universal Orlando's Citywalk has a baseball-themed hot dog stand that serves nine different varieties of American hot dog, so their menu looks like a shortened version of that image. I'm partial to the Milwaukee myself.

I got curious and looked up what the hell that's from. Apparently it was a "pop-up dinner", I guess where the chefs just show up for an event for a few hours and serve food to whoever shows up. The idea was to reimagine junk food as an expensive 7-course tasting menu with exotic ingredients. They even gave diners crayons and placemats with word search puzzles.

SpaceGoatFarts posted:Each time I go to a restaurant in the US I can never finish my plates. But then I see everyone with doggy bags so I guess it's normal to receive enough food for two meals. Yeah, it's expected that people without big appetites in many restaurants will walk out with leftovers. You can reliably expect an entree with side(s) in most chain and franchise restaurants like Applebee's or Chili's to clock in at 700 or 800+ calories, with appetizers, drinks, and dessert taking up more.

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:TRIP REPORT: The Wendy's JALAPEŅO FRESCO SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICH I had those "ghost pepper" fries once. They weren't really spicy at all and the sauce just ruined decent fries by making them soggy and harder to eat. It's sad because normally Wendy's is one of the better fast food options. I'm glad this exists now.

RNG posted:Nah, carnitas, pico de gallo, rice and beans, veggies. The magical thing about Sheetz is that you can get either a reasonably healthy lunch at a gas station, or you can get the world's most insane stoner food at 3 AM. It's like having a Chipotle, Subway, Sonic, and Little Caesar's in the same place and they encourage you to mix and match. I decided to get a burger the first time I ever stopped at a Sheetz, but I misunderstood the ordering menu and accidentally asked for fries to be included on my burger instead of as a side. It was surprisingly tasty.

Going in the opposite direction, Epcot's Flower & Garden Festival for the past few years has had "frushi". This is the 2014 version. Fresh pineapple, strawberries and melon, rolled with coconut rice, topped with raspberry sauce, sprinkled with toasted coconut and served with whipped cream on the side. They taste not unlike a Fruit Roll-Up.
