Food 2: Chew Harder • Page 23

not here for this Hottie Sauce slander

also, if you’re not ordering popeyes through the app ($1 fries! $5 shrimp box!), i can’t help you.

also also, welcome home @Justice Beaver
might mess around and make candied pickles tonight in your honor.

 

Coleeeeeeee!

Yo, the Hottie sauce is watered down Thai sweet chili sauce at best.

And there is no way I'm downloading a Popeyes app. I don't want big chicken spying on me through my webcam. Also, that's far too much temptation.

Also, please tell me more about these candied pickles.

 

!!!!!

I love this gif

and you.

 

If I had any beer to give you would be about an hour away. I haven't brewed anything in over 2 years at this point, though

 

Okay, well I’ll be there in an hour. That should give you enough time to brew a beer right?

 

I have some Coors Lights that have been sitting in my garage for ~6months you can have. I'll let my wife know you're on your way

 

Are they in a refrigerator in your garage?

I only drink Coors if the cold-activated mountains are blue because I have discerning taste.

 

did the sauce come on your sandwich or in a single pack cup? I think was essentially a stronger version of their sweet heat sauce, and the few sandos I got it came on the side so you could add as much or little as you needed.

the candied pickles were something I attempted for one of our food challenges back in the day.

 

As soon as that shit came out of the bag it was dripping sauce on the shitty upholstery of my shitty car. There's still a bright red spot on the passenger side seat from it, haha. Quality control has never been a selling point of my Popeyes.

Also, did you actually make the candied pickles? Is that possible? Do you pickle the vegetables first and then candy them? For some reason candied pickles sound amazing.

 

you've done it now

 

I've gotten exactly what I wanted.

I'm gonna drag this thread kicking and screaming back into it's 2016-2018 form.

And I can't do that without @oldjersey

 

this thread was basically just a Popeye's thread for about a good year lol

 

Ah, the glory days.

 

turbot filet, green lentils and roasted veggies for you sickos (@Justice Beaver)

 

I haven’t cooked much since I came home from my honeymoon but here’s 3 I did:

1. breakfast. I had a guajillo chile sauce in my freezer. Basically just roasted and boiled dried guajillo peppers that were blended with broth. I used that to coat roasted breakfast potatoes, black beans, cilantro, red onion served with:

2. I made a sauce with roasted poblanos (roasted and skinned), tomatillos, cilantro stems, blackened scallions. It’s literally the best textured sauce I’ve ever made.

And 3. Nothing special. I made the best chicken breasts on my stepdad’s grill. He’s the grill master but I outdid him. I’m very proud. This is an IR grill so it gets very hot. I basted the breasts in water/soy sauce/oil/cracked pepper/salt about 5x throughout grilling them. Best flavored chicken on a grill I ever had

@Justice Beaver that above post is for you

 

I forgot a couple things. The guajillo sauce was blended with blackened onion +cilantro/garlic. And for the potato hash I roasted garlic cloves slowly with the potatoes and took them out then added them back last minute for perfectly candied/mushy garlic. Plus roasted and skinned more poblanos.

lately I’ve been into bringing out natural flavors in foods when before I’d be adding a ton of spices and vinegars

 

I wish I liked roast carrots. I like roast everything else. But I always need carrots for a recipe and have a shit ton leftover that I don't know what to do with except eat raw like a rabbit.

 

Alinaaaaaaaaaaa,

Oh god that looks so good. Potato hash might be my favorite category of food. I always want my breakfast potatoes to be super crispy, did you put the guajillo sauce on before or after you cooked the potatoes? Also, throw a runny egg over that and I would gladly pay you high end diner prices.

Also that poblano sauce looks absolutely delicious. Blackened scallions is a genius move. It's also so pretty and I can't believe you got that texture without like yoghurt or an avocado.

I wish I could grill but I think my apartment doesn't want me burning our porch down. We don't even have a vent hood in my new apartment so every time I need to char something I have to open every window and door and stand there waving a towel to push the smoke out. It's a hot nightmare.

 

Also, I made orzo carbonara which I think is probably offensive to Rome.

 

This was dinner last night/an Alina appreciation post

 

Sweet fancy Moses

 

Ok I’m never posting my food in here out of fear of potential embarrassment

 

Noooooo! This is a safe space. All of us are just stoked on food and it doesn't matter what it looks like, what it was made out of, how it was made. The only thing that matters is that you like it. Share!

I mean carbonara is literally pasta and egg yolks and bacon cause I'm too cheap to get pancetta.
