I'm getting out of control in c/food today. That's three posts today and it's only the early afternoon. Don't worry. It's probably a one day thing. Probably.

Arnold Palmer (drink)

What is the worst food in terms of flavor or lack of

The English have chippy and sausage and I think it’s disgustingly bad

I mean hippo croissant was suspect enough

it's like a more earthy/fruity cayenne pepper, like why don't people use more of it? there's so many jalapeños so it's not like it wouldn't be cheap to make

just a shout out to ground jalapeño, you're a real spice king

soup recipe is basically this but I saw a similar one that included kale, so I added it. tbh this might be the first time I've eaten kale (this is the first time I've cooked with it but I might have eaten it in a something cooked by someone else) and I think it's the highlight of the dish

bread is just basic lean dough, 70% hydration

There's a ton of data in the article and I found that to be annoying. I just want the stuff that's silly or amusing.

first time i've ever bought these. suggest how to do toppings

i have:

• refried beans
• other beans (black, red, pinto) that i can cook
• salsa
• hot sauce
• guacamole (i am a millennial after all)
• one of those garden salad kits, lettuce onion etc

non-vegan (vegetarian) ingredients

should i make a flat taco? multiple layers? bake it? i dunno

Recipes:

1. Tofu
2. Macaroni Salad
3. Corn Recipe - Ingredients: Corn. Instructions: Microwave one ear for three minutes.

The macaroni salad may look a bit depressing, but it actually ended up tasting really good. I opted to do an oil-based one because the nearest store to me does not have vegan mayonnaise, and vegan mayonnaise can be a bit costly as well.

Recipe

It fucks.

When the package says "add half a teaspoon of butter" or whatever, it's just straight up lying to you. There is literally ZERO perceivable difference between instant rice made with only water, and instant rice made with water plus a little butter. I've tested this myself. If you think the half-teaspoon of butter does some kind of fancy chemistry thing that's necessary for the instant rice to do its thing... No. The butter literally doesn't do anything. Absolutely nothing. Zilch. The package literally just tells you to add butter because market analytics show that if the package tells you the truth — that you really only need to add water — people will be biased to think it's a "worse product". So the butter is literally a placebo! Just a placebo, nothing more! And the same also goes for an enormous amount of instant foods that tell you to just add water plus, very conveniently, exactly one Extra Ingredient™!

How fucking many cows had their boobs fondled all because instant food companies noticed a slight increase in sales if they lied on their packaging? Hell, even for those who used margarine, how much margarine did you end up wasting on a literal placebo? How many teaspoons did you have to wash for no reason?

What the fuck

Personally I like round but I live with square if that's all they have. I found round easier to eat since you can fold it if you want. Actually I don't know if square is a thing out west or if it's strictly east coast.
