Food The (not so) delicious food thread

[Mr. Argumentor]

"cuisine" may not be the right word for it

Fair. It sounds kinda like what might happen if the cook at a dive bar had to make something on odds and ends.
At the same time, I've got some really good cheese and some really sour pickles, so I kinda wonder if it can be made into something.

@Dory Berkowitz-Bukowski

I just heard of cheese and pickle sandwiches. I am intrigued. Can you shed any light on these specimens of British cuisine?

Pickles in a different way to gherkin pickles as you might think. The pickle is generally pickled onions in a sweet brown sugar sauce. Look up Branston pickle for a look - is there anything comparable?
It makes for a very good sandwich.

What’s the shelf life of such a sandwich in a purse?

Oh god, with the preservatives in pickle? Gotta be a cool 2 months.

I was here for one. Or maybe that was just the follow-up fight, like Trumpers still going on about how they need to grab control of the government?

That Branston shit sounds awesome - basically a chutney or spicey, savory jam. I cooked something a bit like that the other day . . . .fried rutabaga chunks with browned onions and carrots and barbeque sauce. And steak chunkers. *Branston's contains rutabaga, onions, carrots and pickles.

Fried American relish is a thing

Cheese and pickles are two of the dominant flavors in a real good cheeseburger.

And pickled jalapenos/banana peppers work fabulous in a grilled cheese, and in queso.

I'll go on record as hating pickles of any sort on a burger. But I like most pickles.

Love me some peppers - explains the almost 100 plants each year

Ran another set of impossible patties for burgers last night, and fucking hell, I really like them.

I think those are going to be my go-to for burgers now. I wonder how it works in burritos...

we tried the beyond burgers on the 4th.... theyre not as good. It tastes like if someone described a hamburger to someone, whod never eaten a hamburger themselves

I've had beyond, and I agree. I've had black bean patties, and they give me wicked gas.

The impossible patties just work for me, though.

Do you prefer them to a burger tho?

I do.

Why do human taste buds have the be that important? Why give a shit if something tastes 10% better or worse.

uh, because I don't see an ethical issue in eating pasture-raised beef.

So, if beef tasted better, I'd eat it instead.

 

[Jehannum]

Economically, it's a wash, as impossible meat is about the same as what I'd pay for local pasture-raised beef from the butcher.

It's slightly less expensive if I go with a whole yearling butchered on the hoof, but it's easier to plan in the moment and just grab some impossible patties out of the meat section at the store.

I was more responding to fly to be honest. Nobody here eats pasture raised beef. And even if they do the whole planet is going on fire because of it. Taste buds don't matter.

I eat local pasture-raised beef, when I do eat beef.

I still get factory-farmed chickens though.
