/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Former Iowafag here that moved out east. My folks just sent me some Boetje's and a random new shirt lol. Going to pick up some smoked kielbasa today.

Great pasture raised eggs, and they’re cheaper/better than vital farms or any other hippie bullshit.

>>19631011
Based. I live in Iowa right now.

>>19631178
Can't say I miss the place. I was in Davenport. I like Happy Joe's or Harris Pizza when I come back, maybe some Casey's breakfast pizza. That's about it though. My favorite restaurants mostly closed down years ago

I sometimes eat it with a spoon.

>>19631186
I live in Davenport right now. Happy Joe's has really dropped off. The one with Jungle Bungle is in horrible shape.

>>19631192
I never thought I'd find sport peppers here in New England but it turns out World Market has them.

>>19631197
This are also good to eat straight from the jar....better than the giard in fact.

>>19631194
We always used the one on W Locust (which moved down the block) when I was growing up. I got them a couple years ago and they seemed the same, but they're definitely not cheap now.

The "pizzagrille" name is so fucking dumb though

>>19630857
>sugar

>>19631238
Yes, ant?

>>19631297
Huh?

>>19631300
Oops, I meant "and".

What's the problem with there being sugar? Lots of mustards have it, it doesn't mean it's like corn syrup in bread. Boetje's is good shit so try it before you talk out of your ass, is what I'm saying

>>19631238
Wait until you find out what's in those fancy French mustards

>>19630857
I had no idea that this was a local brand.

>>19631486
I have to give it to them for keeping it local, I've never seen it outside the midwest except ONE time at a Home Goods in Connecticut, on the food shelves that have all sorts of weird random shit

>>19631497
These used to be made nearby in Farmington, but the brand got sold to Utz and now they're made somewhere else / aren't nearly as good.

>>19631192
Just moved to Chicago from Canada. Love this shit, I put it on everything

>>19631557
>just moved to Chicago
faggot yuppie detected. You and the nogs deserve each other.

>>19631557
You've got good taste in food, but I recommending leaving as soon as you can
>t. grew up in chicago and moved to corn-fed indiana as soon as I could
>>19631562
If other leafs are to be believed, Canada is just as bad.

>>19631568
The issue is that yuppies suck and should be executed en masse.

>>19631571
That's actually the main reason I moved away.....I lived in the burbs and there were way way more of them than nogs.

I got this "cheese" spread made from cashews at a farmers market and it was delicious. Sure, it didn't have that trademark dairy taste, but it was still very good.

>>19631509
There’s still Sterzing’s. They fixed their recipe so they now taste more like they used to before they had to ditch the trans fat

>>19631715
I don't think I've seen those around here, but I also don't buy potato chips very often.

>>19631562
Keep crying, ho

>>19631186
The Happy Joe's Firedog (I can't remember his actual name) came to my middle school for some sort of celebration we were having. Why anyone thought sending a mascot like that to a a middle school was a good idea is beyond me. I told him "you better watch out, I punched Chuck E Cheese in the mouth"

>>19631724
Oh they’re Iowa, if you’re on the Illinois side maybe they’re not as common

>>19631509
I had no idea this was a regional brand

>>19632300

>>19635787
It's just old bay seasoning on chips dingbat. Nothing special.

>>19635787
They are sumptuously delicious potato chips flavoured with a generic version of Old Bay seasoning, which is essentially celery salt with pepper and paprika. The seasoning is most famous for its use on steamed crabs and shrimp--hence the name, "crab chips"--but it also excels when applied to French fried potatoes, hard boiled eggs, and macaroni salad. The manufacturer even now produces a Hot Sauce containing generous portions of the storied red powder, for ready application to pizza and chicken wings. (Now distributed nationwide! Ask your grocer or stockist!) But returning to your original subject of inquiry, the potato chips are expectedly savoury with the mildest pepper spice, softened and enwarmenthed by the paprika, enriched by secret spices from the savage Indies, where bare-chested dusky men hurl spears at each other, the shafts musky with generations of barbarian sweat and unwashed hands. But in these idyllic enchanted lands, a Baltimore working man will often sit upon his front stoop and daintily dine upon yon Crab Chips as the sun sinks beneath the harbor, basking in its still warm glow and smiling as the children frolic in the streets, each bite PERFECTLY followed by a single draught of National Bohemian lager (the world's finest) and a delicate dab of his lips with a pocket square. And as he then rises to enter his majestic rowhouse in the pink glimmer of the setting sun and decides who needs a beating--ever so gently, he passes wind, just gently enough not to risk an accident. THIS, dear sirs, is luxury. THIS, gentlemen, is America.

hey, weird. you and i must live near each other. if you are into spicy NE IA mustard i also recommend Mulgrews tavern's homemade stuff they keep in the cooler for an almost horseradish style burn and my personal favorite, the one sold from under the counter at "Some Place Else" bar in North Buena Vista, IA, population 102.

the wave of german immigrants brought the ways of the Old Country with them, actually the best tardmakers near me (same area as QC) have heritage from Luxembourg for some reason, idk

also i have it on good authority (a girl from a lineage of tardmakers) that
a) some of the families fled because of criminal records and the religious persecution story is BS
b) tardmaking was actually a maligned profession because of the burning smells involved and was kept to the immigrant ghettos

>>19645109
I'm not sure how you think boat-chee is supposed to be pronounced. "boat-chee" sounds exactly like she's saying it.

>>19645105
Yup I buy it often. When I was deployed to Iraq I had my wife send me a care package with like 8 cans in it. I would take one up with me to the chow hall, grab some plain noodles from the hibachi bar and some cheddar from the salad bar and have me a nice 3way about once a month. Don't get me wrong homemade or restaurant is still best but canned/frozen isn't bad. I'd avoid the ones that come with spaghetti in it already though

Best pizza sauce I've ever used. Not sure how common it's found outside the east coast, though.

Very comfy food and soups are great.

Capitol Lunch in New Britain, a family owned location for nearly a century, currently operated by the elder Gerald and younger Matthew Warchezski. The location is known to locals as “Crapitol Lunch” and are known to come in and ask for “the shit sauce”. 2 hotdogs and an order of fries is commonly called a “Big Shitter”. You won’t find this on any menu, but if you’re a true local you’ll know. The Famous Sauce is often served in small ramekins commonly called “dookie drops” by locals and used for dipping. The sauce is also sold for $10 for an 8 ounce container, something many New Britain locals take advantage of due to the popularity of the Famous Sauce. Locals know to order it as a “Big Dump” and the owners aren’t shy about giving a little extra to people who order this way, knowing they’re what’s called a “tool city townie” and thus one of their own.
