/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>18617999
I'm having tamales with juicy ham

>>18617999
decided to make some beef wellington instead of having turkey this year. will post a pic later on if it comes out okay

Most of the world does nothing special on the day. Even Canada, which does have a Thanksgiving. Just not on that day. And nearly every holiday involves a celebratory meal. In conclusion, the most /ck/ holiday would be one recognised by multiple nations.

>>18617999
i'm making spaghetti and meatballs, for myself.

>>18618054
eat shit, non american

>>18618054
The only nation that matters is America, which is why we never take you into consideration.

>>18618054
This is an American website and the goings-on of other nations has nothing to do with how much a holiday is related to food and cooking. Nothing about /ck/ is inherently international, this isn't fucking /int/.

>>18617999
>what foods you're eating today
Nothing really special or too planned out. I've got sweet potatoes and corn to roast. Lentils that I'll eat with tomato sauce and pumpkin. Mashed potatoes with green onion and some mushroom gravy. Brussel sprouts. Honey roasted pecans and some pecan pie for dessert, and some cranberries to snack on. Hard cider and bourbon for fun.
>what you are thankful for
The strength of my forefathers in establishing themselves on this continent under the harshest of conditions. The men and women of the West, whose legends inspired courage in the hearts of their children and their childrens' children. My friends and family, who have blessed me every day with love and support. And almighty God, who provided me with all the allowances of the human experience.
>funny thanksgiving greentexts
No
>general chats
Hello, my American brothers. Enjoy the day and please take a moment to reflect on the men and women who made this day possible for us.

>>18617999
>what foods you're eating today
turkey
stuffing
mashed potatoes
bread rolls
gravy
whatever veggie is being made
pumpkin pie
chocolate pudding pie
apple pie
coffee

literally standard.
deviating from the standard is what weirdos do.

>>18618173
oh, and i don't eat cranberry sauce because that shit is fucking gross.
you don't add fruit to meat.
weirdos do that.

>>18618182
>you don't add fruit to meat.
>weirdos do that.
Chili con carne, pineapple with ham, pepperoni pizza, salsa on tacos, orange chicken, lemon on fish

>>18618205
>Chili con carne
mexicans are fucking weirdos.
this is irrefutable.
>pineapple with ham
pineapple tastes bad.
only weirdos eat it.
>pepperoni pizza
that's adding meat to fruit, not fruit to meat.
same goes for adding meat to spaghetti sauce.
>salsa on tacos
that's adding fruit to bread, the meat is an aside.
>orange chicken
it is neither orange nor chicken.
>lemon on fish
only weirdos eat fish.

got anymore, werido?

No, and my name isn't Werido

how dare you try and tell me how to classify you?
you're just like a tranny.

I made a separate giblet gravy with the turkey backbone obtained from the spatchcocking procedure and the giblet and some onion roasted in the oven.
I made 3 quarts of chicken stock that I used in the stuffing but honestly I could have used 4 quarts, easily.

I spatchcocked a heritage turkey, rubbed salted butter infused with sage, rosemary and thyme over the skin, and roasted that first at 400F then turned it down to 350f.
I made stuffing with homemade sourdough bread that I cubed up and set out to try for a day then mixed with chopped parsley, sage, and rosemary. I guess I forgot to add butter to the stuffing but it will be ok. Anyways, I added toasted pecans to the stuffing as well, and the 3 quarts chicken stock and some sauteed garlic and onion (cook until it browns). I baked my stuffing covered for 40 min at 375F then uncovered for another ~ 30 min maybe

I made cranberry sauce by blooming gelatin in water, juicing 1 lemon and 3 cara cara oranges
i cooked a BUNCH of grated ginger in butter for a bit, then added the juice and some cinnamon, cloves, allspice, salt, and a bag o cranberries and cooked on medium for ~ 15 min then added the gelatin and maybe 1.5 cups sugar - I want it on the tart side. I am aiming for a thick, gelled but rough-texured (not strained or smooth) cranberry sauce that is more sour than sweet. I bake with toasted sugar which is granulated sugar pre-baked in the oven until it gets light brown so it tastes less overtly sweet and a bit more like maple syrup or caramel.

I made potato boats by roasting russet potatoes in the oven for 1 hr 15 min at 400f
then halving them, scooping out most of the insides and mixing the inside potato with lots of grated cheddar, sour cream, cream cheese, mustard powder, smoked paprika, ancho chili powder, grated garlic, salt, and pepper
and then you fill the halved potatoes with the filling and bake again at 400f until light brown on top

I made a chocolate pudding pie with pie crust - which is 2 sticks of butter cubed up, maybe 4 cups flour, I freeze the butter cubes for 10 min before mixing them by hand with the flour and turning the butter cubes into flakes, then you add milk and salt and a bit of sugar and chill
Then for the pudding I used maybe 1/2cup cocoa powder, which I should have bloomed first in hot liquid, 6 egg yolks, 2 cups each cream and milk, 1.3 cups sugar, vanilla extract, and brought it to simmer and then added cornstarch slurry (cornstarch in water) to thicken it

I used the rest of the pie crust to make garlic and herb rollups by rolling out pie dough, cutting it into triangles, and filling it with: minced garlic, butter, salt, maple syrup, dried basil, and dried oregano, and then rolling it up into a crescent shape, and that's about to come out of my oven.

For veggies I blistered shishito peppers in oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat until blackened all over

Got a 20lb turkey for free from Safeway which is far too much for just me and my family. I de-boned the breasts and thighs and used everything else for stock. Some I'll use for the gravy and the rest I'll use for dumpling soup or to freeze.

>>18618054
The rest of the world is disappointing, I feel sorry for you all.

>>18617999
eat whatever I eat on a regular day
I am thankful for Allah I am not a fat murrican

so i was watching a video of my favorite asmr artist and its an old video so it was from last years thanksgiving and she said something like "our bird this year is big and meaty" and i instantly had a lewd thought about it.
Like damn girl, if that turkey impresses you wait til you see the white meat i'm packing, you will be at loss of words.

>>18617999
I really really like this image

Imagine unironically being American.

>>18618387
what a nightmare
imagine having to force yourself to cook the same thing everyone else, paying a stupid premium to buy le certified holiday bird, putting up with retarded family you would never interact with, and for what? to celebrate the shameful surrender of indigenous people who couldn't take any more genocide?
hail freedonia I guess

>>18617999
Today is for my family of four, and my dad. Doing braised back straps from the two deer I shot this week, with fried potatoes and Brussel sprouts. Pumpkin pie for dessert. It will be a nice quiet dinner.
Saturday is when all my redneck inlaws invade, as well as a bunch of my friends and their families. This will be a massive all day blow out and pitch in with around 40 people. I'm smoking a brisket and deep frying two birds, and cooking two hams. People bring all kinds of shit ranging from sloppa to a whole fresh caught smoked salmon. As fun as it is, I look forward to the small intimate dinner I'm having tonight more.

>>18618074
What movie?

>>18618387
Imagine being relevant to the rest of the world?

>>18618054
Good thing we don't care about most of the world. Imagine your embarrassment making that post

>>18618054
Enjoy your muesli gruel and boiled sheep's head, I guess. I'll be eating a 20 lb turkey.

>>18618074

Pls. 6 days left

My responsibilities for today
>Sausage/bacon stuffing with fresh blueberries, sourdough, fresh sage/rosemary, celery, onion, garlic, and red sweet peppers
>Key Lime Pie (made with regular limes, but who gives a fuck)
>Vanilla Creme Brulee with fresh vanilla bean and torched vanilla sugar
I am making the creme brulee now. I have never made on before, so here goes. Will update throughout the day
Recreational refreshments for before/after dinner
>1/2 gallon of Tito's
>Fifth up Rumple Mintze served ice cold
>Half ounce of mushrooms provided by my sister in law
>Weed provided by me
And yes, we are having Thanksgiving with family. Will be interesting for sure, but now is sort of a tradition to finish the food and get all fucked up.

Gobble gobble

Fuck I shouldn't have started a thread. Sister didn't want to cook this year so the senpai is going to the yacht club. Menu is pretty fucking great.

>>18618054
No one cares. Seethe and sneed.

WTF I didn't type senpai I typed senpai.

What’s the deal with all these bitter mexicans on ck this week. We get it you hate your lives

Welcome to 4chan.
You'll have a great time, smdh tbqh familam

>Update
Brulee is in the oven at 325 with about 6 minutes left. I was a little worried about the consistency of the liquid, but from the videos I watched after I had already committed to them to the oven appears to indicate I have the correct consistency. We'll find out in 6 minutes I guess. Going to top them with vanilla sugar to brulee, which I made with fresh vanilla bean and sugar in a jar

>Update #2
Apparently I did not fuck anything up. They have a little bit of jiggle, and everything appears to have set correctly. Into the fridge it goes and onto the Key Lime Pie.

>>18621278
They were made by a guest. Garlic and alfredo noodles.

>>18618054
There are more americans on 4chan than every other nationality combined. Cry about it, and make your own chan if you don’t like it

>>18621286
You shouldn't invite them next year loll

>>18617999
I made turkey chilli (white chilli with the chicken substituted for turkey), and pumpkin bread made like skillet cornbread. Premade apple pie, too

green bean casserole is the best. I made mine with about a half cup of sharp white cheddar this year just to jazz it up. will probably make it like that again

>>18618054
I and got a 4 day weekend with 2 of those being paid days off. Boo fucking hoo. Go cry about it, bitch. Your jealousy is palpable.

>>18618054
In the United States, Thanksgiving is a special holiday because it has successfully avoided commercialization like Christmas. It's time for families to come together and recognize that were it not for Gods grace, we would not have made it through the year. It's a true time to thoughtful and understand the true source of our sustenance.

Here's my Thanksgiving meal. Delicious goyslop time.

>>18621543

>>18621488
>based digits
Funfact: the pilgrims didn’t celebrate christmas because they believed it was a catholic invention. Thanksgiving was in their opinion a more pure alternative.

>>18618866
Well... Can it be?

>>18621658

>>18617999
I made roast chicken (because it's better than turkey in my opinion), mashed potatoes, and (most importantly) squash soup.

>>18621658

Many such cases, sad. Also you don't have autism, that's just your cope for when guys don't find your faked quirkiness cute.

He never fuckin said you were him did he ya stupid american cunt

Made a duck for just me and my mom. Honestly nailed it outta the park, pure beginners luck but man im happy. 10/10

>>18622161
let me know if you used a specific recipe, I want to make one for christmas

>>18621658
Shut your pie hole bitch ass and make me a sandwich.

>>18622168
I did base it off a recent Tasting History video (king tut) but i think my deviation made this even better.

Key difference is for the dill and marjoram to be dried instead of fresh and rubbing it on the duck with the salt. It mixes better with the honey basting. Also depends on oven of course but i would reccomend a additional 15-30min on the cook time but that depends on oven and other factors ofc.

>>18621488
I don't even know why you said that in reaponse to that post. Are you sane?

Why was there no Thanksgiving sticky this year?

>>18617999
>>405826599
Thanksgiving is Saturdy for us. Still brining my hen turkey (12 lbs):
4 cups apricot juice
4 cups frozen concentrated orange juice
3 cups (Kentucky) bourbon
3 cups brown sugar
1 cup soy sauce
12 tbs garlic salt
4 tbs sesame oil
4 tbs rosemary
2 tbs thyme
1 tbs sage
Gonna do an apricot marmalade, bourbon, brown sugar, and mustard glaze for the last hour of roasting.

>>18618054
Even Zelensky said he wants Ukraine to have something like Thanksgiving after the war.

Made corn casserole myself while we also made a pie, cake, and cookies.
Obviously more than enough food and I ate too much.

>>18619111

I get 38 days paid annual leave a year, 32 days of which I can take when I want, because we’re not worked to the bone in the civilised world. Cope.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, my extended family usually does a potluck that’s great fun. Everyone’s a great cook and a real lush on holidays so it’s just 10+ hrs of eating and drinking and sharing laughs.

My family is very covid paranoid and they haven’t done this since 2019. I was worried and sad I might not be invited this year because I’m not vaxxed but I got the call like always and it was just like old times. I’m thankful for that.

>>18617999
I made vegan turkey :3

>>18626153
Cute!

>>18626153
If you are actually vegan you’re one of the good ones. That’s a sweet way to not be a fag about it.

>>18626153
