Bread thread?
Thought I'd try making a sourdough starter this weekend. It seems to be working, this is a few hours after the first "feed". Any tips to not fuck up this early stage?

spit in it
Use non chlorinated water, and as with everything else baking, use a scale. As long as you follow those rules, making sourdough starter should be fool proof, just keep feeding equal parts flour and water every day.

Can I just boil tap water or do I need to be buying bottled?

So, /ck/, I recently discovered that my local butcher has a passion for bringing in exotic meats to sell, and I'm wondering if any of you have ever eaten any exotic animals that you would recommend?
I've had Ostrich meat from him before, but he seems to get in a hell of a lot of different animals like Crocodile, Water Buffalo, Springbok, Kangaroo, and pic related among other things.
>kangaroo
Is fantastic. Whatever you do, cook it rare though, otherwise it will be tough and dry as shit. Plus, eating it is ethical cause kangaroos are actually at pest proportions in straya.
Dunno about everything else. Heard crocodile is a lot like more beefy chicken, but don't have first hand experience.
I've only really had snake, crocodile, and iguana. Bison, frog, and deer, too, but those are so common that I'm not counting them.
My family loves alligator, I wonder if it tastes the same as crocodile? Seconding kangaroo and the fact it dries out way too easily, be careful cooking.
I noticed that after eating beef my skin smells bad. After eating salad on the other hand it smells neutral.
This leads me to the natural question:
Which food will give me the most pleasant body odor?
>inb4 take a shower
I shower every day. Nonetheless does lunch influence how I smell during the afternoon.
>>7651658
Garlic, onions, eggs, beans, cabbage.
>>7651658
Durian.
You need to neutralize the beef while cooking it. Milk typically works best.

Question unclear. You mean like the best place, or favorite part like the giant dump you take when you finally get over the constipaiton the food gives you?
Who /mukbang/ here?
I love watching these videos. My favorite videos are ones of people eating insane amounts of desserts. I have the biggest sweet tooth in the world, but even my limit is 2 or 3 donuts before I'm in the "fuck I feel awful" zone. Just incredible how these little asian dudes and ladies can eat this much without barfing.
What are your favorite stars/videos? Got any favorite dessert-themed videos to share? Would you ever date a mukbang star?
I feared the day that muk-bang would go mainstream

Thoughts on slow cooking?
I want to buy a slow cooker to make delicious dishes
Discuss
>>7651347
Slow cooked food is often easy to prepare and tastes good. My only complaint is that it is very slow
>>7651347
A slow cooker doesn't do anything that a normal stove, oven and pot doesn't already do. And they don't even offer the temperature control needed for sous-vide.
Pressure cookers, on the other hand...
>>7651347
get a good dutch oven or pressure cooker instead.
/thread
Have an exam tomorrow, and my gut feeling tells me that pasta carbonara is the dish I have to make. Anybody has some expert tips to share in the last moments?
A practical part comes first, and will be observed and no questions asked. Then they eat, then they ask qustions.

In America what are the best candies you can get
>rank your favorite candies
Assuming your not from the USA I'm recommending stuff you can only get here, not things that can be replicated elsewhere (e.g. y'all have smarties so I won't recommend plain m&m's).
To foreigners I'd recommend you try:
>candy corn (the kind with the chocolate bottom if possible)
>candied pecans
>Pretzel m&m's
>The strawberry & lemonade filled twizzlers
>Oreos (we have...

>Peanut Butter Twix (not currently available)
>Oldschool Wonka bars (no longer available)
>Dark Chocolate kit-kats
>Ferrero Rochers (those little nutella filled chocolate balls...are they considered candy bars?)
1. Pic related
2. Candy Corn
3. Circus Peanuts (for like the first 2 you have)
Rest I don't have an opinion on. Also the gap between one and two is massive.

Is it possible to tell apart food made from organic ingredients?
I ask because I went to a vegetarian place which claimed that their food was made with organic ingredients.
>pic unrelated
>Is organic food a meme?
The name might be stupid, but food without pesticides is a good thing. You won't taste a difference between good normal food and organic food, but very cheap veggies usually taste kinda bad, watery, bloated, with little taste. Organic or Bio often is better quality and taste.
It's literally just a marketing term where food companies can jack up prices for scientifically illiterate Americans

>but food without pesticides is a good thing
Organic food still has pesticides, anon. They're simply *different* pesticides than that used on conventional crops.

Is sous vide actually worth trying? It seems like kind of a waste.
>>7650710
Depends on what you want it for. For things that are easy to cook like scallops or a steak there's not much of a benefit since sous vide takes extra effort and supplies but doesn't really improve upon traditional methods.
On the other hand if you like to do different things it can produce results that no other cooking method can. 72-hour short ribs for example. It's also awesome for restaurants because it keeps portions separate and allows at least some of the cooking to be done in advance,...

But what's really the benefit? Is it more tender?
No, it's just boil in the bag
