scrambled is by far the worst way to prepare eggs

Frozen spinach is pretty good as well.

>>16120244
yes. loose corn is ok too. everything else can fuck off.

>>16120244
s-sauce?

>>16120244
is that little feller OK?

>>16120423
Yeah, mom's taking him home.

>>16120244
Thats not a hot take retard

>>16120250
Not a hot take.

How can one person be so utterly and completely wrong? Frozen peas are the worst frozen vegetable literally kys

>>16120428
Hotter than your mom, at least.

>>16120250
which way?

>>16120250
Anyone I've talked to whose favourite way to have eggs is scrambled doesn't really like eggs in the first place.

>>16120464
french all the way

>>16120478
No wonder you hate scrambled eggs.

>>16120464
English or American with hot peppers and chorizo.

>>16120506
i'm not actually the first guy but i don't hate scrambled eggs, the worst way to prepare eggs is still eggs and eggs good.

Usually a fan of frozen peas and green beans. Got some peas that had grit in them recently, though and it really soured me on the whole thing. Tried rinsing them out but it was no good. Fed them to the birds.

>How can one person be so utterly and completely wrong? Frozen peas are the worst frozen vegetable literally kys

Very funny.

Peas go downhill quickly. Frozen peas are frozen soon after being picked and are pretty much the freshest peas you will eat if you don't have a garden.

Modern flash freezing produces no different results from a fresh vegetable if prepared correctly.
That is to say, there's plenty of vegetables that make no sense to buy frozen, like broccoli or carrots. But that doesn't make the frozen variety "disgusting" just less desirable.

>>16121603
A lot of things don't freeze well, like peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. I was talking about these things.

>>16120655
That was a cool video. Would recommend.

>>16121729
Isnt nature radical?
>https://youtu.be/FOOaF2vEoKs

>>16121712
You're not understanding though, they do freeze well, they're just difficult to reheat. The way flash freezing works does nothing to the structural integrity of the vegetable, if they come out poorly you're just applying too much heat for too long.

but what if he was wrong

Texture is more important than taste

Bread sucks, even really good bread is mid at best and pales in comparison to 90% of other good sides /accompaniments.

Ginger is very overrated, the aroma is nice but when you start grating it into food or finely mincing it into shit you need to kys it overpowers everything

>>16122170
>T. Never had good bread in their life

gourmet food is just as greasy as fast food and no one will admit it after they spent $150 on dinner

>>16120244
Frozen spinach is good if you're going to cook it anyways

>>16122178
ive had great bread in top boulangeries and forni in france and italy but i still would trade it for most other sides and shit

Frozen vegetables are literally better preserved than store-bought "fresh" veggies

>>16120464
The best scrambled eggs:
>mix eggs in bowl ahead of time. Add roughly a fifth of what you have of eggs' worth of milk, then a teensy bit of water, and stir vigorously, making sure there are plenty of bubbles.
>add to warming, not hot, pan. As they cook, watch for the edges to get done. When one is, start lifting it up so the rest of the egg can get underneath and start cooking onto the rest. Add any seasonings now, salt and pepper obligatory.
>When it's almost all bouncy and held together, you may NOW flip it.
>only cook the other side for a little bit.
>DO NOT CUT UP. Just lift it up as one mass.
>Best made in a relatively deep dish
Bouncy scrambled eggs that hold together. Texture is soft. I don't like to brown eggs and I don't like runny eggs so this is how I learned to make them to appease myself. Everybody who had them says they're the best eggs they've ever had.

>>16120250
I was a kid and only ate scrambled.
Then I matured and ate eggs any way I could.
Now I have gone full circle and always find myself making scrambled for breakfast.
Funny how that happens.

>>16122555
>Frozen vegetables are literally better preserved than store-bought "fresh" veggies

Precisely.

The one frozen vegetable that I don't like much is frozen spinach. For pretty much everything else, I prefer frozen vegetables.

>>16121766
>Most likely the hippo bull defeated and chased off the previous ruling bull. He found a calf within the pod that wasn't his. His gene dominance tells him to reproduce with as many hippo cows as possible. The hippo-cow with a newborn won't be receptive the next two years. So to get her in oestrus, he need to kill the calf, so the suckling stops and the biological system of the cow will tell her she lost the baby and so she will start ovulating soon after that.

When a male mammal wants to display dominance and assertivity a certain wiring in the autonome nervous system gives them an erection. It has to do with testosterone and agression.

We humans have far more complex brains than monkeys though and had to rewire many things. Moral disgust for example comes from a part in the older reptilian brain that's related to rotting food.

>>16120244
At least 70% of people in America are shitty cooks. Which is astounding since we have more spices and knowledge available than any other time in history, but everyone wants fast food and microwaved and frozen whatever. I know very few people I get excited to go to their home for dinner parties anymore.

Scrambled eggs that have am almost cheesy mouthfeel. Everyone says they're the best they've ever had.

Mexican food sucks.
Not talking about the abortion that is Tex-Mex, I'm talking about the real stuff.
It shit. Yes I've went to those cafe's where they all speak Spanish and you order by pointing at a sign, still shit. Yes I've tried "abuela's" cooking, several different grandmothers in fact, all shit food.
Spicing is terrible - no cumin is not a cuisine, meat is universally overcooked, herbs other than cilantro are totally absent, texture is always soggy.
Just a bad genre of cookery.

i think boiled meat is the best meat. My most beloved is boiled turkey breast with oil canned artichokes

>>16123167
I always wondered if there's some super dark corner of the internet where married women have fantasies of a strange man killing their children and then abducting them to make more. Some ancient evolutionary brainworm sitting in the darkest part of their genes. But, as far as I can tell the answer is no, humans just don't have that old program anywhere despite women still having more general bondage and rape fantasies pretty commonly.

>>16120407

>>16131508
Try going to Mexico to have Mexican food. Tacos al pastor, chilaquiles, arrachera, tlacoyos... I'm not even Mexican and I hate spics to death but those cunts know their eats.

>>16132179
It's not unusual for women to fantasise about killing their own children, though. Men more commonly fantasise about killing their wives.

>>16120244
I like frozen broccoli.

>>16131508
Dried chilis contain a ton of complex flavour. Add 3-4 different varieties to a dish and there is no need for herbs.

>>16120244
coriander seed has almost no taste
nonsmoked paprika has almost no taste

I don't care how fresh it is, I don't care if you grind them yourself

>>16132437
Paprika, true. It's mainly used for colour. Coriander seed, very wrong.

>>16128591
I hope vietnamese food stays unpopular so I can continue getting gigantic bowls of ridiculously good pho for $7

>>16120464
The bigger the curds the better. French scrambles have a weird texture that I dislike greatly.

>>16128591
Necrofaggot cringe

>>16132445
do I have to leech out a flavor from the seeds with aqua vitae or rubbing alcohol or something? I taste and smell nothing in coriander seeds, even doing the toasting thing before grinding. If I get garam masala stuff I can taste the cumin, cinnamon, fennel, etc. and absolutely nothing underneath them. Am I missing some gene or something?

>>16120464
I do what I guess English style is supposed to represent, except it comes out more like near-uniformly sized beads. I put that aside and then make what I guess French style is supposed to represent, except it comes out much smoother. Then I put the custardy one on toast and put the granular one on top of the custardy one.

>>16120244
peas are the worst vegtable. they only make a dish worse

German and English cuisines are hearty and delicious, and very unfortunately massively underappreciated for the sole fact that they are so central to the traditional western diet, and thus 'boring' to modern westerners

Crabs and lobsters are not worth the price + time and effort to consume. They are essentially a vehicle for butter

Gumbo and Jambalaya suck

>>16120464
French look like baby poop

>>16132437
You need to invest in high-quality paprika for it to be worthwhile, but if you get the good stuff then it has a very distinct flavor. Same for coriander I imagine; it has a very distinct flavor but most of the brands I've bought have been virtually tasteless.

Wow I couldn't believe how much dogshit there was on the path when I was walking down the street today, I nearly couldn't finish it all. Actually I should have saved some for my brother.

tfw i can't sleep when eating spinach despite loving it.

Last time i ate it was around 12:30PM

Couldn't sleep until 00:30 AM.

Fuck this isn't fair.

Last time i ate it for dinner i was awake until 5AM.

Apparently it releases some kind of adrenalin-like substance in the body.

>>16132751
dried spices still lose their flavor, either you have shit quality, don't properly toast, or yes your tongue has an coriander seed error. I can barely taste ginger and lemon zest, always add too much for other people kek

When I make spaghetti and meatballs I make the meatballs out of 1/2 ground beef and 1/2 ground pork, add breadcrumbs, seasonings, a bit of Italian salad dressing and 1 box of frozen spinach
I squeeze as much water from the thawed spinach as possible (harder than it sounds!), chop fine and add to meat
I take 2/3 of the meat and make meatballs and put rest in sauce
The spinach makes it much harder to make the meatballs, they want to fall apart, but holy fuck it's great when they are cooked

>>16120464
I prefer to let my scrambled eggs crisp up in a hot pan

>>16143617

I have a non-stick egg pan in which bacon or other meats are not permitted at all.

The egg pan is several years old and is just as non-stick as when it was new. If you wished, you could cook eggs without butter and slide them around in the pan.

As I understand it, the reason why non-stick pans lose the non-stickiness is often because the proteins in the meats getting sticky when heated up and ruining the pans.

In any event, when I cook bacon, I prefer to cook it in the oven, not in a pan.
