Circus Peanuts are good, screw you if you think otherwise.

I'll make sure to ship any I get this Halloween to you. Want any candy corn, too?

Almost all food is pretty great. Preparing it this way or that, adding this or that seasoning, it makes a difference and all—but you have to work pretty hard to make food that's actually bad.

I think there's this guy named Jack Scalfani you should look into.

I think there's this guy named Jack Scalfani you should look into.

I think what he is saying is that most ingredients/food produce aren't inherently bad/taste bad, his meaning (I am assuming) being if it tastes bad it is because it was probably made wrong or should try a different recipe that utilizes that ingredient differently to fit your taste better.

I do also recommend checking out the Jack thread anyway.

Burger toppings: I can do without pickles. Tomatoes are okay, onions are fine if they're not just RAW.

Baked Mac and cheese gets too much holiday hype.

I haven't had one good serving in my whole life and it should be stripped of it's holiday food status.

With mac & cheese what should the sauce to noodle ratio be? I feel like every time I make it I end up drowning the flavour with too many noodles yet whenever me mum makes cauliflour cheese that sauce is cheesy as owt and bloody lovely, it has a much higher ratio of sauce to veg than mine has to noodles so I think I've been fucking it up for years by this point.

He occassionally manages to make something halfway decent like that French onion soup.

I try to do about a 2:2.5 ratio. My issue is that a lot of baked Mac and cheese is *dry* as well as bland

I kind of like raw onions in my burger tho, gives it a nice little crunch. Tomatoes though, I only like tomato sauce not raw.

Bacon is best when it's crispy enough to snap in half like a potato chip

I'm going with the idea that bacon being somewhat soft is the true unpopular take. It's also how I like prefer it, where it bends a bit and has a firm but chewy texture.

I'm with you. I'm puzzled by people who like burning their bacon to a crisp and pretending it doesn't just taste like char and spiritual desolation.

I thought he did an utterly atrocious job on that. Instead of being beefy and brown it was pale yellow, then he put entire slices of toast in instead of cubed toast, and then he used pre-shredded Parmesan garbage instead of gruyere or something appropriate and melty. He put this on top of Swiss shreddy cheese (that part is okay for Fro), so that didn't get browned.

About all I can say about that is it's better than anything he makes now and it's one recipe where the lazy coarse onion chopping he does is actually appropriate.

Stouffers lasagna is absolutely vile and I gagged when I took a single bite. Never tried it again.

My mom loves her bacon burnt and I can’t understand why. Bacon is good brown but still soft and juicy.

Onions are good but I can’t stand pickles on a burger.

The fact that it had no rotten meat and was using ingredients that are perfectly safe to eat raw is enough to put it in his hall of fame.

There's no quicker way to turn me off from a dessert or sweet than the descripted "salted" being anywhere in the description.

Salted caramel is just caramel made to taste like shit. I don't want big flakes of sea salt on top of my chocolate chip cookie. Just stop. Both were fine before you salted the hell out of them.

 

[Fire Flight]

Burgers are really overrated and this is tangentally food related, but household matriarchs dominate the kitchen too much and dont allow men to develop their skills in cooking.

I hate instant ramen. It's too salty and it's gross. Long ago I was at a friend's house and that's what was offered. I added about a pint of water and it was still too salty. This is some kind of prison food....

I quite enjoy instant ramen, for I crave salt.
