i am convinced people are just averted to the bitter taste because they were spoiled as children, these both make an amazing side and main dish

Brussels sprouts are so delicious! They're like miniature cabbages that I get to pop in my mouth!

I'm one of those stupid people that likes chilies. I once cooked for a vegetarian friend. Basically just took the meat out of a simple soup, and since I ain't a complete dummy, I also removed my more typical spices and replaced it with just a dash of cayenne pepper. Like just a sprinkle into a big kettle of water.

Friendo was still coughing after a couple spoonfuls and face fucking red, and the stuff I usually put into food (which tends to turn it inedible for about.. everyone I ever served?) is something among the lines of literally labelled "keep away from children and animals." The most pain I go through with a meal is whenever I frequent a burger joint that makes sauce out of fresh Carolina Reapers. It's a crossbreed to make something spicier than Naga because humans are fucking insane. I don't serve food that often anymore.

Life is pain, food shouldn't be any different.

This shit speaks to my soul. If it feels like you're getting a tattoo on your tongue for a minute, you're doing it right. If you take a few more bites, you're my people. There's no such thing as too hot, there's just a little extra suffering.

Except extract sauces. Fuck those. Tastes like nothing, burns like everything, no joy.

Fried spam sammiches.

Those are actually really good.

I tried this baby cuttlefish salad once with this fancy cream sauce and it was Delicious enough to make ignore the fact I was eating baby cuttlefish.

We had a Korean exchange student for one summer who got my ex stepdad hooked on Kimchi. I'm usually pretty adventurous when it comes to food, but the way he'd stink the bathroom up after eating that stuff has kept me from ever giving it a try.

Maybe I should try it now, though. Any suggestions?

There's more to Kimchi than just cabbage kimchi. Like, today I'm making Radish, Cucumber, Normal and White Kimchi.
White Kimchi doesn't have the spice, instead it has chestnuts and jujubes, so it may be something you could eat?
Freshly made kimchi is best to eat just as is, older kimchi is best made into kimchijeon (Pancakes). That's a delicious alternative to eating it raw.

Natto. Natto I can tolerate sometimes, my mother and brother love it, so it's always been around, but the rest of my family can't stand it. It's.... an acquired taste.

I had no idea it could be so varied...I thought it was all cabbage. Got any recipes you'd like to share?

Dutch salt licorice candy. Oh yeah baby, as if I wasn't already the weird kid.

 

[MasterDisaster]

Peanut butter and miracle whip sandwiches. The sweet, creamy peanut butter with the tangy miracle whip goes real well as long as you don't over do it with either of them.

First you steam them then you sautee them with like bacon bits and what not. C'est magnifique and shit.

 

[whatever I feel like]

Got a white pizza with pineapple and anchovies the other day. It was tangy and delicious.

Spoiler: Kimchi Recipes

Cucumber (Oi) kimchi is probably the most "easy" compared to normal.

3-4 Lebanese Cucumbers (or any pickling cucumber)
1.5 Tablespoons of Sea Salt
Handful of shredded carrots
Handful of Buchu (Korean Garlic Chives)

Kimchi Spice Sauce
1-3 Tablespoons of Gochugaru (Korean Chili Flakes, depending on how spicy you like it)
1 Nashi pear or Red Apple grated
1 Tablespoon of Honey or Raw Sugar
3-4 Garlic Cloves chopped finely or grated
1 tsp of grated ginger
1 tablespoon of Fish sauce
1 tsp of Soy Sauce

Cut cucumbers into bitesized pieces, about 4 cms long. Toss them in the sea salt, leave for 20 mins.
Brush off or lightly wash salt from cucumbers. Put into bowl with sauce and carrots/Buchu, mix well.
Put in a glass airtight container, leave on bench for 1-2 days to ferment, put in fridge, chill and serve.

White Kimchi is a bit more involved. You typically do whole napa leaves, put the filling in them and roll them up.
You can do it a quick way though and just toss everything in in a normal "quick" kimchi way.

https://mykoreankitchen.com/baek-kimchi-non-spicy-white-kimchi/ But I add about a handful of chopped chestnuts and about a tablespoon of pinenuts to that. Probably sub the red capsicum with a yellow one. You can also use apple instead of Nashi Pear.

If you don't want to do the wrapping/stuffing, then just toss it all in and pour the brine over. It's a light refreshing kimchi, salty and sweet, but has a really nice flavour. I also use it to make okonomiyaki if I don't have fresh cabbage. It really works perfectly like that.

And fried chicken hearts too. They're more tender.

My wife never had them as a kid because her parents hated them, when I made some one night she tried them and in the years since now makes the best I've ever had

I like egg salad sandwiches, and I don't really get why people hate them. I brought this up to a friend of mine, and his theory is that people hate them because they're frequently made with old hard-boiled eggs. I always use fresh.

Part of the problem is that a lot of people don't cook them right. I was curious to try them when I was a kid because I had read many kids' books talking about how gross they are, and I was a weird enough kid to want to try something everyone hates (and I'm pretty much like that as an adult). I think my mom steamed or boiled them, and they were as gross as boiled cabbage, which makes sense since they are cabbage.

But roasted? They're so good. I hardly need anything on them except olive oil, salt, and pepper. Although my favorite recipe dresses them in olive oil, stone ground mustard, and bacon.

Brussels Sprouts are super popular and have been for a while. I dont know if they were always as expensive as they are but I imagine they did jump in price.

Yeah roasted with just olive oil, salt and pepper for like 10-13 minutes at 450 is the way to go. Broccoli is really delicious too this way. Roasted vegetables, or grilled, in general are. I read kids just didnt like them because something about your taste buds changes as you get older. I used to hate pepper, now it's one of my favorite spices, along with chilis.

People just didnt know how to cook vegetables, too, for whatever reason. They always boiled them or soaked them in butter or weird sauces and toppings. I guess they didnt want to be hogging the oven to roast them? But you can do it in a skillet just as easily, if you flip them. I think, although I only ever roast them anymore. You gotta get that perfect point of tenderness and caramelizing. The more simply you cook a vegetable the better the outcome will be, IMO.

I like cottage cheese and pepper sandwiches on good hearty toast. This upsets the people I live with. What do you eat that would get you shunned from a public cafeteria?

I used to love cottage cheese on crackers (and peaches for whatever reason, I think my grandma fed me that), and grew to hate it, but this actually sounds delicious.

It's just like cottage cheese and cracked pepper on a slice of wheat or rye sourdough or something? Sounds good. Cucumber BLTs are amazing on bread like that.

I used to gross my mom out by eating tomatoes and sucking the juice out of it.

 

[Botched Tit Job]

Straight lemon juice on everything. It's the best condiment. Most of the world doesn't agree though.

Indian food is tasty as hell, but even the smell is too much for some of the wussbags I know.

I fuck with Indian food, but I refuse to eat/cook it at home because of the way the smell of curry sticks around like it's paying rent. I can't do it.

I do the same but some times I add some garlic. So good.

Dude kimchi pizza is smelly but it is the shit. Could easily be my choice as my last meal
