obviously, if im having a few beers i dont want some fucking celery

>>20182811
That buttermilk chicken? had those, they were delicious. Paired well with fries and some nice beers.

I feel bad for Europeans who haven't tasted the sweet nectar lifeblood that is Ranch Dressing

>>20182835
Ranch is for homos. Real men eat blue cheese dressing

>>20182835
why is it that people in texas and california dip their pizza in ranch dressing?

>>20182811
celery is gross

>>20182835
ranch is just heavy cream seasoned with powdered vegetables, nothing special

>>20182842
I like ranch but not for wings.
Onion rings? Dipped in ranch? That's tits.
>>20182835
I'm euro and have had (and enjoyed!) ranch. But it has to be Hidden Valley. And it has to be mixed from the packet with sour cream and not the bottle dressing stuff.

celery is only good for cleansing the palate but some fresh, crispy carrot sticks can really elevate an order of buffalo wings to a new level

>>20182848
because it tastes incredible. provided its good ranch. can't be no hidden valley shit. got to be from a place that does ranch well.

>>20182857
>celery is only good for cleansing the palate
I'm sorry you've never had flavourful celery. I moved to the US from Euroland. We have a few different varieties of celery. But in America, most supermarkets only have the pascal stuff (and root celery, if you count that). You can also get herb celery from Asian supermarkets. But when you tell people here about mountain celery, red celery, black celery (used to make a casserole!), bitter celery, alexanders and other types they're incredulous.
Reason being is that other varieties of celery have flavours that the British found unpleasant so they bred and bred and bred celery until all traces of taste were gone.
It's one thing I miss from home, ESPECIALLY mountain celery.

>>20182882
RANJEET, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>20182882
eh news to me, maybe ill try some sometime

>>20182848
It's way more widespread than that and for longer. Ranch is like the new ketchup. you see low-class people all over the place dousing shit in ranch. 20+ years ago they were ketchup people.

>>20182886
>RANJEET
Not even close lmao.
I'll give you a hint: super euro name (as in literally no one but another euro would ever have it), five letters yet only a single consonant.
You won't guess it, tho.

>>20182899
faggg

>>20182906
>she doesn't know what a consonant is

>>20182848
people at my school growing up used to dip hot cheetos into cream cheese

>>20182914
i do, ive watched enough episodes of countdown. but you still sound like fag

>>20182918
That actually sounds like it would be nice with whipped cream cheese.

>>20182926
it was good i'm not gonna lie. some people even made sandwiches with bagels and cream cheese and put the hot cheetos inside

>>20182925
Cats Does doesn't count, Nigel.
>I miss Sean Lock ;_;

>>20182829
The celery is the side to the side dish.

this is what biden is trying to take away from you

>>20182941
to be honest i watch the normal one more than 8/10 cats, it is pretty fucking good though i just hate that faggot they always get on.

europoors will never understand the pleasure of stamping your sandwich bread with the flag of your forefathers

i heard the liberals and europeans want us to drink kombucha and eat broccoli
no thanks.
they don't want to find out what happens if they dont let me have my mike's hard lemonade and slice of square za

>>20183030
Yeah? Doesn't it have a minimum age requirement?

are any countries other than the US so jingoistic that they make their own flags out of food?

>>20183175
i put american flags in all my food because we make it best

my brother got arrested when he flew into europe just for bringing some chicken nuggets and a gun with him
i guess it's illegal to have non-soy nuggets in europe
having some chicky nuggies now in honor of him while he serves his sentence

>this erodes the American's sanity

>>20183175
In any country more jingoistic than the US it would be an imprisonable offence.

>>20182811
America has the greatest food in the world

>>20183275
The greatest food in the world belongs to no country - for it is the sea turtle, whose nation is the waves.

>>20182811
the europoors seethe for they will never know the joy of delicious buffalo wings with crunchy celery and creamy tangy ranch.
>>20183256
if you think americans arent dumping buckets of oil vinegar cream sauce onto chicago deep dish slices at 4000cal a slice then i dont think youve been paying attention

>>20182882
Give it time. Eventually some food columnist will discover it, declare it artisanal and pretty soon it'll be in every walmart next to the jicama.

>>20183035
isn't eating the flag (plus all the other things you do with it eg sitting on it, wiping your face with it, wearing it on your balls etc) disrespectful?

>>20182835
>devours gallons of ranch dressing
>gets explosive diarrhea because he has barley any european blood left from all the race mixing
you pitiable mulatto...

>>20183022
Everything about this image speaks heaven. From the food to the beer to the green grass. It's been so long since I've enjoyed the great outdoors.

>>20182811
No but this shit does.

>>20183796

i still have never eaten chicken and waffles lol. lolos chicken and waffles is right up the street and i seer em on menus all the time but it just doesnt seem that good. im a chicken fried steak kinda guy.

>>20183796
it doesn't confuse me it's just kind of grotesque. like yeah no shit fried chicken will taste good with sweet pastry, adding sugar to stuff makes it taste good 90% of the time. i can just tell that it will make me feel like absolute shit afterwards so it doesnt appeal to me

>>20183853
>no shit fried chicken will taste good with sweet pastry
>adding sugar to stuff makes it taste good 90% of the time
No, this just looks like a terrible combination.

>>20182811
If anyone cares or is interested in studying local foods, I grew up in south texas and the stuff i'm mostly addicted to is buffalo wings, lasagna, chili cheese burritos, frito pies, chili cheese fries, and hamburger helper. Maybe it's just a preference thing though. And no i'm not 700 pounds.

>>20183175
Italians do it a ton. In fact, I suspect most of the bizarre jingoism inherent to the modern US is traceable to their Italian and German heritage, furthermore ultimately stemming from the psychic damage of the fall of the Romans.

remember that when you're arguing with an Amerifat, THIS is what they were raised on
they receive so little nutrition in early life that their brains never properly develop

>>20184048
there is hella nutrition in that

>>20182811
I'm making chicken wings tonight, but I don't fry them I make like 30 in my convection oven along with potato wedges.

>>20184048
is that a turkey burger on a sub roll?
No we did not grow up eating that.
Also go on and post your garden I'll wait.

>>20184064
calories != nutrition

>>20184048
this is the first anti-american post that has ever gotten to me
i literally had a burger with mac and cheese on the side for dinner

>>20184048
>THIS is what they were raised on
No american would accept a burger in a crusty bun.

>>20184360
I prefer coleslaw as a side
Mac and cheese should just be its own entree

>>20182811
I'm American and I don't understand this.

This however, I get.

>>20182858
>mixed from the packet
You haven't lived until you've made a pilgrimage with a bucket to collect Ranch Dressing from the actual buttermilk spring in Hidden Valley, California. It's the only good thing to come from that state.
>>20183175
Canadian companies put their goofy leaf on American things and think that makes it somehow Canadian. Individuals in Canada don't make things that look like their flag because they don't know how to make their leaf not look like a squashed spider.
>>20183242
Why did he let them arrest him? He had a gun, that should have been enough to get half the continent to surrender to him.
>>20183653
Only if there's obvious disrespectful intent. Otherwise it's seen as you wanting to commune with the flag and become one with it. Very inspiring.

>>20184406
that's because you're underage

>>20182848
I don't like pizza in ranch but I do dip the cheesy bread in ranch. It's pretty awesome desu

>>20184048
I find the portion of that mac and cheese irritating. Looks like the standard box mac and cheese, not even gourmet.

Do you realize how much a box of mac and cheese makes? That portion is about 1/8th of the entire box. It makes me think you are at a homeless shelter or you fed the rest of the large portion to children.

>>20183150
probably 12+ by uk laws

>>20182856
It's made with mayonnaise and buttermilk, retard.

>>20182811
Because it's not a plate full of bugs and twigs.

>>20182811
buffaro ring only made it to Australia about 5-6 years ago, and 9/10 times it's completely fucked. These Chinese and Indonesian fry cooks cannot fathom the concept at all. When you see "buffalo wings" on the menu, tt's either wings doused in sriracha, or wings doused in Franks (or some facsimile) but mixed with honey and soy. The cannot fucking leave the goddamn recipe alone because it shatters their worldview.

Found a pub in Sydney which makes them *properly* and introduced all my friends to how b'lo wings are meant to be. One of them worked in a restaurant and taught the cooks how to do it, and when he tried his first buffalo chicken sandwich it was fucking honey soy buffalo. Thurdies in the kitchen just stood there perplexed like retards.

Meh apparently they all got deported during covid so we're even I GUESS.

>>20185200
I live in Texas and have tried the local grocery brand of frozen buffalo wings. Every bite feels like fat and skin. Anyways my point is that you should instead buy fresh wings from the store and make your own buffalo sauce.

>>20185239
Well yeah, that's the way. BUT it's nice to grab a box of buffalo wings with your pizza or at the pub sometimes as well. I can't be BYOBW everywhere I go

>>20185239
Does anyone know why they end up with that jelly consistency? Is it the freezing process or is it just poor quality chicken being used?

>>20185285
It's gotta be freezing. You can't have firm crispy food whence frozen, especially when you're just putting it in an oven and not searing hot oil

>the american mind cannot comprehend this

>>20185311
>mfw the donner party

>>20185295
Every single chicken wing and tendie you've eaten at a restaurant/bar was frozen. Freezing is not the problem it's something specific to what they do to mass produce them for retail outlets.

>>20185398
anon, the shikken huang at WingStop™ may have been frozen, but they were fried in oil and then tossed in sauce. Same goes with breaded wings or tendies, they may have been frozen but were battered and fried in-situ.

When you buy a bag of wings already coated and sauced and meant to be reheated in the oven, it is not the same thing at all.

>>20185403
You or that anon stated freezing is the problem. I do not believe this is so but tomorrow at work I will cook then toss a tendie in sauce then freeze and cook it again to see how it compares to a frozen then fried and tossed and sauced then dried up under a heat lamp and tossed again tendie and report back with the results.

>>20185424
Just make sure the frozen tendies are re-cooked in an oven

>>20185424
And make sure you freeze them longtime, frozen straight through at least 24 hours. >>20185431

>>20185295
>searing hot oil
How does one deep fry something that's already sauced? I like buffalo and other saucy wings but I've never in my life bought them premade. I deep fry plain-ass wings them toss with sauce immediately before serving.

>>20185152
More like only OAPs watch the actual Countdown, Granny.

>>20185446
>How does one deep fry something that's already sauced
you don't anon - you sear the meat and then toss in oil. that's all I was saying.

the point is, frozen wings are already cooked and sauced and then you're meant to re-cook them in an oven and it comes out garbage

>>20185431
>>20185433
Look guy, I might be a mentally ill retard but even I have my limits. i can't hide a fucking fully cooked and sauced chicken tender anywhere in the freezer except the floors under the shelves. I will put a frozen and tossed tendie in the convection oven to represent the air fryer fags.

>>20185451
>re-cook them
That's where I was getting confused. You say re-cook for what I would just call re-heat. I catch your drift now.
No reheated chicken, once sauced, will ever get that crispiness again. Ever.

>>20182811
i cant afford to eat out anyway

>>20185503
>cant afford to eat out

So why are Americans so insecure?

>>20185239
Frozen wings vary considerably. Walmarts own GV brand weren't bad. The kind you had to shake on the dry rub yourself are a PIYA. Their fresh made deli wings are the best though. Purdue's frozen are edible but look like they came off a bantam and there were hardly any in a bag.

>>20182848
Because they’re disgusting lardasses. The pizza is also of extremely low quality.

I like ranch dip to eat with potato chips or cherry tomatos, but plain ranch dressing kind of sucks. the "southwest" version that they give you with bloomin onions is great though.

>>20185655
I couldn't disagree less

>>20185642
>dry rub yourself
>PIYA
I think you might be doing something wrong. Also with the food.

>>20183022
Based. Simple, but comfy meal.

>>20183839
>waffles is right up the street and i seer em on menus all the time but it just doesnt seem that good.
If it's done well, they're amazing, but too places have jumped on the bandwagon and just fuck it up . They just throw a few frozen chicken fingers on top of a cold waffle and call it a day.

>>20183022
is that fish in the foil?

>here's that sauce you wanted you fat fuck we just lathered it on the entire thing. what? no you eat it with your hands like an animal
I do not care for whoever """"invented"""" the concept of these.

>>20182811
your point confuses the european mind

>>20183257

>>20182858
yeah the bottled stuff is actually disgusting

>>20183316
Man fuck the ocean. What has it ever done for us?

>>20182848
people do that in the midwest too, sometimes with blue cheese dip, and usually only dipping the crust

Caesar dressing > ranch

>>20182882
That sounds interesting! I'm going to look for seeds now to grow in my garden. :)

>>20183199
If Americans were not so desperate of showing how they are great, maybe it would be possible to pretend you are something, but this begging too pathetic.

>>20183199

>>20182811
no it doesn't

>>20184478
>milk spring in Hidden Valley, California
I don't remember, but that's either in Peaceful Rest Valley right after reaching Paula from Carpainter or in Winters, where Jeff is from, just north of Stone Henge. One is Rainy Circle and the other is Milky Well IE the milk spring.

>>20187918
Completely.

>>20188060
Mountain celery is also called lovage so look for that. It's a variety used as an herb rather than a vegetable. If you want a veg variety, black celery is the one to go for. And if you want to grow uncommon European vegetables, look into growing cardoon. It looks like celery, but it's actually a variety of artichoke. We use it in casseroles and omelettes but it's also nice sauteed in olive oil with garlic and oil-cured olives and finished with fresh sweet parsley and shredded or grated parmigiano. Can be used as a topping food pasta or as a side dish to roasts.

To be honesete, the mexicans at my school ate burritos that contained flaming hot cheetos and cream cheese
And by "mexicans" I mean "people of color"
and by "people of color" I mean enwords

>>20182811
ABSOLUTELY!
we Europeans didn't know chicken exist at all!
Dumb mutt... You are so full of shit it's unbelievable... As if we don't have chickens and therefore never prepared chicken like Pic.
Who do you think brought the chickens to the USA? The Europeans that founded the later usa. You thought chicken were already there when your forefathers took their first steps on the "new" land?
American education.

A good chicken and waffles is delicious and does not make you feel bad afterward.
But it's becoming harder to find places that do it well. I don't bother taking the risk half the time I see it on the menu unless I've gotten a feel for the place before.

>>20191942
literally seething, euros are so funny

>>20182811
i have never seen this food before and am furious

>>20193593
lots of people serving dry ass chicken

>>20182848
This is fine if the ranch is good desu

>>20182811
You are correct. Glazed sticky wings are disgusting. Why would you ruin some good wings with that slop?

>>20182811
'Murican here...what's the point of celery and carrots? why dunk your wings in ranch? i like wings and beer....i just don't understand the other stuff.
