Hello /ck/. I wanna learn to be better at cooking. I'm a pretty basic bitch but I know enough to feed myself, that's about it though. I figured I'd start with the french kitchen, what should I know for this, what are some great recipes and rules of thump? ?
Did someone say Trump?
Fuck off

>rules of thump?

Reddit: the sandwich

That's a sausage
You haven't lived until you've tried grape-flavored Hi-Chew.
fuck that's good
>>7832223
Literally the best candy. Except maybe Werther's Original.
more like Hi-Shill, fuck off faggot
When you eat your Smarties,
Do you eat the red ones last?
Do you suck them very slowly,
Or crunch them very fast?
Eat that candy-coated chocolate,
But tell me when I ask,
When you eat your Smarties,
Do you eat the red ones last?
>>7832189
wut
Why is it the orange ones actually taste like orange but all the others don't really have a flavour and all taste the same?
>>7832202
You're an Orange.
How do you make your tortillas /ck/?
I myself am a purist
>6 eggs
>2 potatoes
>1 onion
>4 garlic cloves
>some chicken/lamb stock
>4 stalks asparagus
ITT: give me tastier ideas
>masa harina
>sea salt
>lime juice
>water
>>7832177
If you were a purist you wouldn't be using anything other than potatoes and onions
>>7832177
Onion is a must, then peppers or chorizo.
explain to me why its so easy to transform tofu into a copycat of most foods
>>7832143
It literally tastes like nothing.
You can shape it.
It will keep it's shape during cooking.
Taste is mildly bland, so you can "hide" it.
I don't think that's true at all.
You can use it copycat certain meats and vegetables in certain applications, but I certainly wouldn't say you could do it for "most foods".
Flour tortillas are a meme. I can't think of a dish that includes tortillas wherein corn tortillas wouldn't be better.
>brittle shit that ruins the consistency of the dish
>better
nah
Corn tortillas obvious taste much better, but they're shit for making burritos, and a giant burrito is an amazing thing.
And fuck off with calling everything a meme.
>>7831785
>>brittle
Get some fresh ones anon.
When you buy Cheetos, do you prefer crunchy or puffy? I honestly don't understand how anybody prefers puffy to crunchy
Also, corn chip thread
>>7831725
puffy. theres more oil and salt to material ratio. but cheetos are garbage anyway. I'd love to splurge on a ball of cheeze puffs sometimes but to be honest theres so much better food to snack on other than this orange salty crap.
>>7831733
I mainly enjoy the crunch. Puffy has a disgusting mouthfeel that gets pancaked into your teeth.
>>7831725
I just love the crunch. CREEEAK.
What does /ck/ think of olive garden?
Pic unrelated

>Stoli

>putting dawn on your burger
Dude, you are going to regret that

I am going here later alone at 8 for dinner. what should I get? is there a bar to sit at? what alcohol should I drink?how do I avoid people staring at me eating alone? is their spicy shit spicy? help!!!
>>7831522
if you like spicy try the caribbean jerk wings, they're fairly spicy but not stupid spicy and have a nice flavor
mango habanero is the best sauce they have. Also I go there alone on wing tuesdays during happy hour.
>>7831522
>what should I get?
20 boneless wings
thai curry, asian zing, hot bbq (protip: always get three sauces, you will get a 21st wing for free)
Blue cheese
>is there a bar to sit at?
yes
>what alcohol should I drink?
beer
>how do I avoid people staring at me eating alone?
nobody will care. Do you stay at the lone people when you are eating with friends/familyComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>carrot juice exists
>tomato juice exists
>no such thing as corn juice
Why is this allowed?
>>7831496
It's called every beverage in America
Not corn juice, exactly, but there's this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atole
Crunchy or smooth /ck/?
Smooth of course.
Anyone who chooses crunchy is a barbarian.
>>7831493
Smooth, OP should have made a poll so here:
http://www.strawpoll.me/10621368
Crunchy
Smooth are for manchildren who cannot get over new textures in their food
Nothing is more infuriating to me than going to a restaurant and friends/family insisting that we sit outside.
Fucking assholes. If I wanted a picnic I'd go to the park. Why can't we sit inside where it's not so damn hot and there aren't 10,000 bugs.
Fuck outside dining
>>7831428
At first I thought you were talking about picnics, bbqs etc.
But no, going to a restaurant and being forced to sit outside. That sucks.
However, if it's just for lunch/breakfast, I could understand.
>>7831428
The only acceptable place to eat outside when at a restaurant is when it's next to an ocean.
>>7831428
>that feeling when you want a outside 'go 'za but the 'tism is too strong
Summer is here, making seafood paella (no chicken) for some friends, any tips on what I could replace mussels with?
Never cooked squid before so I am quite excited.
>>7831273
Spainfag here from actual part of Spain where paella is cooked.
What do you mean replace mussels? Squid is a mussel aswell.
>>7831363
>Squid is a mussel aswell.
What?
>>7831363
I use prawns and squid but my recipe also has mussels in it. I don't really enjoy mussels so was looking for an alternative if there's one.
what do you mean with squid is a mussel?
Who here salsa shark?
