So I've been reading about this dish called American Chop Suey / American Goulash.
Apparently it's elbow mac with tomato sauce, ground beef, onions, peppers, garlic, etc. There's no single recipe; I even saw one on Serious Eats that included Worcestershire sauce.
The funny thing is that I make elbow mac plus tomato sauce and ground beef all the time - it's quick to make, easy to eat, and reasonably nutritious. Seems I was making this "American Chop Suey" without realizing it.
Ever had it?
Its just chili mac
>>7058555
No, there's no chili in it.
My nana always made it. It was more like vegetable soup without the soup. Beef, tomatoes, and any kind of canned vegetable she had in her pantry added to pasta.
What are the most embarrassing memories you guys have of cooking food? Either for yourself or for others
>Started learning to cook while I was in University
>Had a crush on a girl I beta orbited
>Offered to cook dinner for her one day while she studied
>She accepted
>Pretty sure she didn't like me but she wanted to have a free meal
>She comes over, starts studying
>I go into the kitchen and cook for her
>Make Chicken Chow Mein
>She compliments me on the smell
>I try to make her laugh by complimenting her on her smell, she doesn't laugh
>When the food is done I throw in some pictures of Rebecca Black, Scumbag Steve, and Nyan Cat
>Present the dish to her
>''Its done! I made chicken chow meme!''
>put it down in front of her
>she scoops up one of the nyan cat pictures and looks at me confused
>tells me she can't eat it
>I apologise and buy her food from a takeaway, wasted all that food for nothing
>we eat the takeaway in silence and she leaves straight after
Still can't make Chinese food without remembering this shit.

I've been using bouillon in my water for quite some time now. Depending on what I'm making of course.
like rice for example. Seriously you niggers need to start seasoning your water
I never cook with it, only add salt and seasonings afterwards.
>>7058167
salvadorian gramma does this and I thought it was just what people do,
Some people don't even salt it
So now that the dust has settled and people generally agree that carbonara should not contain cream but should at least have garlic and parsley I'm going to have a go at making it.
Question is do I use whole egg or just the whites? I was thinking of buying pic related.
Your thoughts?
>>7058099
>Your thoughts?
Low-quality bait.

Just make sure to season your pasta water with Knorr® Chicken Stock Pot™.
Fuck off.
How do I a good line cook? My colleagues and chef keep telling me I'm too slow.

You probably do a lot of wasted movements. Either that or you're slow as hell. Get faster.
>>7058056
Go faster.
Gotta go fast
Who here has had purple potatos? Do they taste different, why are they so expensive?
It depends on the variety and how they are grown. Some are flavorful, but most are bland.
>>7058049
>why are they so expensive?
I imagine that unlike the mass produced varieties grown for commercial purposes, they're much more susceptible to disease and pests.
Also lower demand being another reason that they're not as widely grown.
No clue about the taste.
>>7058049
They are expensive because people eat with their eyes first and purple is not a good color for food. Had it a couple of times. Didn't really recall much of it.
What is the worst condom and why is it mustard?

Live a little.
Why would you use mustard as a contraceptive?
When did Americans discover Spaghetti Carbonara? And why are they so obsessed with it?
I heard somebody saying it had to do with some type of initiation rite into manhood, kinda like the circumcision parties in American families.
When every kid turns 17 in America. Our families take us to Fazoli's. There we have some delicious carbonara made with equally delicious Knorr Chicken Stock Pot. Once we finish our meal and tip our waiter, for the first time we yell
WA LA
>>7057973
It represents the deconstruction of the juvenile ego.
Truly the first step towards adulthood.
>>7057958
Americans aren't obsessed with it, but eurokeks are obsessed with Americans for some reason.
