For a few years now I've been meaning to forage some spruce tips and pickle them in the spring and then put them on roast pork or with venison sausage but I keep forgetting.

the eternal epic quest of mre makers is to actually get gi joe to eat it all

Is that the quest? Contrary to that, I've heard it repeated a few times, though it has "urban legend" vibes to it, that the notorious WW2 "Chocolate bars" in rations were intentionally made gawdawful so that the highest energy and most durable item would be more likely to get saved for emergencies.

I think I've posted those awful jarred "hot dogs" before, you can get them in cans as well for some reason here in the UK. I don't know if those sausages are like the ones they call hot dogs but they're really unpleasantly squishy; you get them sometimes if you buy a hot dog from a takeaway.

I'm not certain about the no seeds in tomatoes, i know its done with other plants that are normally seed bearing in order to prevent trademark/copyright violations.

Yay capitalism where we can copyright plants

This isn't quite what's going on in these situations. Only GMOs can be patented/trademarked. Most of the "the seeds won't get you the plant" varieties are F1 hybrids which are created through careful, sometimes secret, cross pollination processes. A stable variety when crossed with the same stable variety will create a particular F1; an F1 crossed with an F1 will create a chaotic F2, which would need to be selectively bred again for several generations to create a stable variety. F1s aren't created for controlling seed supply. It's because they have desirable traits.

For stuff like watermelons we're looking at hybrids because consumers tend to prefer the seedless versions. For stuff like grapes we're actually looking at clones because consumers prefer the seedless versions.

Century eggs are incredibly delicious and surprisingly mild-tasting. Flavor-wise they're like a medium-strength brie. The yolk is dense and creamy, and the white is pleasingly gelatinous. I can't think of any other food where the appearance is so much more crazy than the eating experience. The best first way to try them is in congee, usually described as "dried pork and preserved egg congee" or something, but they're also good with silken tofu like in the last photo.

That was not at all my experience of century eggs. The ones we tried were overpoweringly strong in their smell and they tasted of soap. Someone actually came in from the next room and said "holy poo poo what the gently caress is that smell?" when they had no idea what was going on. 3/4 of the people who were going to try them immediately noped out from the stench and the remainder of us took one bite and threw them out.

Maybe they were actually bad?

I just had some for the first time last weekend at a Chinese place and yeah, very mild taste overall and the most weird thing, apart from the looks of course, was the texture.

Yeah in reflection that's quite possible. This was like 17 years ago or something, and since then I've had smaller bits of century egg in other dishes served to me, and it wasn't anywhere near as terrible, but I always just wrote that off as equivalent to the difference between eating a big clove of garlic and having some minced garlic on top of something, or chomping down on a spoonful of salt instead of just sprinkling some on top.

Still not gonna go buy century eggs from the store again.

The half peach was so ubiquitous in recipes for a while

There are vanishingly few things I would desire a half peach on top of

Pancakes actually is on the list but not like this

Canned peaches were like the major treat for some people who grew up in the 50s and 60s, so it makes sense to see them as the centrepiece of recipes from the 70s.

Shashouka is a top-tier dish and there are infinite amazing variations on it.

Throw some kind of cured meat in the sauce. Dry chorizo is good and fits the flavour profile nicely. Going to try it with home-made dry ham soon. Calabrian salami is good too.
Scramble the eggs and add extra cheese so it's like a dip.
Lots of fresh peppers, spicy or sweet
Green tomatoes
Broiled to make the top crispy
Steamed to make it soft and stewy

Serve with pita or sourdough or whatever nice bread you have.

And the sauce can be as easy as squirting a tablespoon of harissa into some oil in a pan, letting it fry a spell, and then adding your favourite tomato sauce. Get that simmering, crack in your eggs, throw on the lid, and there you go. Or leave the lid off and bake it.

Can you tell that I make it regularly? (I have hens and grow my own tomatoes)

I'm ok with the raisins when they're still chewy. And I'm not talking about the goods I bake - I'm talking about the mushy baked goods I get in other places.

Pretty much. All her recipe cards involved putting the ingredients together in a pot or dish and either boiling or baking until they were gray and a uniform mush.

I remember her recipe for meatloaf was to plop the ground beef straight from the packaging into a baking dish and throwing it in the oven for two hours. Served by itself, too, so there wasn't even a boiled vegetable to break up the meal.

I'm imagining a woman looking at the beef, then at the baking dish, back at the beef, and going "hmm where did I put the recipe for this..."
