It's the Gf's birthday tomorrow. She wants to make veggie burgers from scratch.
I like veggie burgers but all my attempts have yielded dry/lousy patties that just fall apart.
Big fan of the tikka masala veggie burgers. Any tips/recipes?

Why the fuck is it that every time I see a thread on /ck/ that mentions girlfriends they are always fucking vegans?
/ck/, I've long been curious about the typical food fare for truckers, traveling salespeople, and other on the interstate, in the air, over-seas, etc. All I've really been able to glean is a little about military rations, some stories from my Dad visiting auto industry partners in Japan in the early nineties, and seeing around truck stops when on vacation as a young child.
Does anyone have much information on what truckers tend to equip their long-haul cabs with? The typical etiquette for traveling salespeople for business lunches? Dining at forward-operating-bases? Just an interesting story from this one time you stopped at a 24-hour diner during a storm a road trip? I'd love to know.

Trucker here.
Diet consists of caffeine, nicotine and crystal meth.
I have a small 12v cooler in the cab that I usually keep a few sodas, beers, sandwiches and beef jerky in too.
>>7525049
Oh and all true except the crystal meth part.
Fuck you, FBI.
>>7525049
I assumed you were joking about meth. But, I'm also sure it's done. I think there was a gradual introduction of urinalysis in the 80s and most companies only allow you to drive so much a day. I am interested in that aspect of the industry as well, but, mostly as it pertains to food / cooking.
For example, in college, I was prescribed generic Adderall IR and dexedrine spansules, and milk was my food/beverage of choice for synergy with that, because it kept my blood sugar up and had protein to supply the amino acids I needed for the body to produce dopamine.
If /ck/ had a swap meet what would you bring?
What do you think you would swap it for?
What is that white elephant you've got sitting gathering dust in your cupboard?
I'd bring my juicer, the thing is such a pain in the ass to clean, sounds like a jet taking off and turns lots of perfectly good food into a cup of juice.
I'd like to swap it for a good sandwich press.
>>7525024
Fondue pot sets I was given as a gift. I haven't used them in years. I've maybe used them 2 times in 5 years. I would swap them for anything more useful or another crockpot. I put them in my goodwill pile often but always take them out at the last minute. Also my bread machine. I don't eat a lot of bread anymore, I would swap that for a tea kettle
>>7525024
So many things.
Half of my GFs springform pans. Seriously. 6 cheesecake pans taking up space and in 15 years that I've lived with her, we have made cheesecake exactly never times.
The Ninja Express blender/processor/shredder/juicer thing. It's hell to clean, so we never use it, and it takes up most of a cabinet on its own. I have a Ninja 3 blade blender that I use the fuck out of. But that fucking shredder thing is shit.
Cast Iron fondue set. Yep, same thing. A GF MUST HAVE that hasn't seen use in at least 15 years.
Her collection of cheapass tea pots. Tea is her obsession. I get that. I don't mind that her loose leaf hoarding takes up 2 shelves. But cheap Chinese made pots that collect dust and have no sentimental value? Why?
Cook Books.
We have a cook book collection that takes up 5 shelves of a built-in book case. Of that collection I would say we use maybe 5 of the books regularly, and maybe 20 occasionally. There are duplicates even that she refuses to part with. Fucking microwave cookery books for the 60's. 5 cookie books with the same 30 recipes in them. It's insane. Besides, What is the internet?
Then there's the 16 muffin tins. 8 large 8 small. Because there has ever been a time when we needed to bake that much at once.
If I ever split with her, My house will become instantly spacious.

Could be time for an intervention.

>>7525739
Why?
>>7525755

>Itt Food porn that gives you heartburn just by looking at it
>>7524674
No bacon egg?
I have literally never experienced heartburn. Not even during the first nine years of my life before I was vegan.

What are some great ways to eat or prepare these bad boys?
I usually slice them up and pour over some olive oil and lime juice vinaigrette, sprinkle some salt on them and finally add some finely chopped spring onions, chili and cilantro on top of it and eat it as a side dish.
How do you eat your avocados?
slices in/on sushi
spread on toast
cubed in salad
>>7524665
>olive oil and lime juice vinaigrette
>no vinegar
>"vinaigrette"
I do the same as you tho, plus a little bit of white pepper.
>>7524665
Ice cream
You haven't lived until you have tried avocado ice cream.
How do you guys add a little excitement to brown rice? I add a little bit of olive oil to the boiling water but I wonder what else might add some flavor to it.
In turkey the woman used to add some small thin pieces of pasta (vermicelli?). That stuff tasted heavenly, although she probably added other spices too.
idk, brown rice is really tasty to me so i dont see the need to mess with it too much. the earthiness goes well with egg, so you could beat in an egg as its done cooking, or just do it the japanese way and put it in after for a raw egg and rice mix. i use vegeta seasoning to some degree for almost everything i cook and that goes wonderfully too.
other things i think go well with brown rice include butter, pepper, and dill. if you like oils, you may want to play around with sesame oil on it.
Try adding in some green tea.
It gives it an interesting and pleasant flavour.
Whats the hottest pepper you've ever tried? What recipes do you use them in?
Have tried habaneros before, and they're pretty useful for adding heat to meals. Though, anything higher than that, you'd probably just taste nothing but pain.
habenero
they have a weird flavor so i don't use them but they work ok if you use them to add spice to a sweet sauce.
I've eaten a whole a ghost pepper before. Ate the whole thing whole, it tinged my tongue a little bit but it wasn't all that spicy. Seriously wtf the hype is so fake on those.
If you can't eat a whole habanero you're not a real man.
>>7524191
Suuuuuure you did buddy. Was that before or after you became an astronaut ?
I work at a 7-Eleven. Any questions?
Do black lives matter?
>>7524075
Absolutely not. Next question.
>>7524073
Why did you guys not get that shipment of marley passion tea... also ask a ex 7-11 employee
Can humans eat stingrays /ck/? Florida fag here I see hundreds of these cocksuckers near the beach and I always wondered if they tasted good
I think the better question is what does it feel like to have sex with a stingray?

How can I give French toast a maple syrup flavor without using syrups? I want to make French toast breakfast sandwiches. I am thinking powdered maple syrup added to the egg mixture but ive never done it before.
>>7523600
Why?
>>7523608
Maple syrup is a complementary flavor to breakfast sausage
>>7523618
But why don't you just use maple syrup?
When did you realize that meat on a pizza is completely extraneous because cheese is a complete protein?
>>7523585
shut the fuck up
>>7523585
I don't eat pizza for health benefits. I never really thought about it. Thank you for your incite.
I've yet to realize that. It's not extraneous because flavor.
estimated time before this becomes a vegan hate thread: 6 minutes

quick question about slow cooker.
i want to cook food tonight so i can wake up tomorrow and eat.
is it safe to run my slow cooker for probably 12+ hours? the food i will put in will be 5 lbs of chicken thighs, a shit ton of carrots, celery, onions, and probably either chicken broth or beef broth
will it dry up and burn like shit or will i be good?
will it taste good or will it be all rubbery and shit?
i just dont feel like having to wake up tomorrow and cook around 10 a.m. and have to wait until 4.
thanks guys
12+ hours is a bit of overkill, even on low. Make sure to add a little chicken stock to keep things moist, and the most I would do would be 10 hours.
>>7523383
do you know if its safe to cut up all the ingredients and put them all in the crockpot and then put it into the fridge, and then plop it into the cooker first thing in the morning?
or will it crack the shit out of the ceramics?
>>7523355
12 hours on keep warm setting (lower than low) is going to give you fall apart pulled chicken.
If you leave the veggies and other stuff in there, its going to disintegrate.
If you are making something like a potroast, you let the shit cook for about 4 hours before you throw the auxiliary shit in, to cook for another hour before its done.
You arent going to be pleased if you leave it overnight
Look what i got /ck/ these are the 75th anniversary M&ms bags they are throwback to the 1980s.

Whatever happened to the Indian foodtruck guy? Did he bring them to court?
>>7523285
