here in england butter doesnt go bad if you leave it outside the fridge

http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/899622

unless you in some tropical sand country like mexico I see literally no reason for keeping the butter in the fridge

>>11705516
Why would it melt? Reminds me of a friend I had who would keep chocolate in the fridge. He was convinced it would melt otherwise, even though it wasn't in the fridge at the shop. So every time we ate chocolate, it was rock hard and you had to leave it for half an hour if you didn't want to break your teeth.

Butter doesn't go off that fast. I guess if you don't use butter regularly, it might be worth keeping some of it in Tupperware® for the fridge and some outside the fridge, but otherwise it's not going to melt or rot or turn bad if you keep it in the cupboard. But what fridge butter IS going to do is make your sandwiches weirdly cold.

>>11705521
> solid like a turd

...the fuck are you eating, bro?

Okay, here's the deal. You put salted fridge on the counter and unsalted in the fridge. Butter will remain mostly solid at room temperatures, but also opens itself up to bacteria in that range. The salt keeps the butter mostly clean, which is why it's alright to leave salted butter out but not unsalted.

I live in Arizona and even in the summer the butter is not melted if left on the counter top.

Butter goes in the fridge during summer. SnK happens during summer.

My parents keep chicken fillets in the fridge. They're convinced they'll go bad at room temperature, even in an airtight container. I guess bacteria can get through vacuum seals but not a refrigerator door.

>>11705514
Just watched The Family/Malavita with Pfeiffer and she said that butter is bad for your health, don't eat it.

>>11705521
>I consume lard so quickly that it has no chance of going bad

i can only buy it in packs of 4 sticks
so i leave one stick out and put the other three in the fridge until i need them
please don't be an aspie about this

>>11705529
It's based on a 2004 novel. 2000sers didn't even know what trans fats were.

Eat butter instead of margarine, use salt if you want (it's not poison for fuck's sake), but avoid anything tasty ever because it WILL give you cancer.

>>11705530
What? You mean like, you store chicken fillets outside of a fridge? That's a pretty bad idea.

>>11705521
I'm English too and I put my butter in the fridge.

>>11705526
+1

Try living in Brazil, where temperature can average at 3 C during winter and 35 C at summer.

Then you just leave it outside during winter, and inside during summer. Or else it actually does melt.

>>11705535
I'm English three and I put everything in the fridge. Bread, butter, even Heinz tomato sauce. I had to tell my parents to stop putting my barbecue sauce in there because it was making my sausages taste cold.

Even more, why do Americans keep eggs in the fridge?

How do you guys store cheese?

Picture is cheese, in case anyone doesn't know what cheese looks like.

>>11705542
Why would you not? When do you ever need an egg to be warm?

>>11705542
I only buy fertilized eggs. The foetus can develop bacteria if it isn't kept cool and then cooked properly.

I get my cheese pre-sliced at the deli and put it into baggies and put it in the fridge. I do the same with turkey.

At least you have an excuse for not knowing shit about food.

what goes in the fridge

>>11705548
Whenever you bake with them it's generally best for all ingredients to be at room temperature unless stated otherwise. For instance if you're making cookies and the eggs are cold but your butter is softened, the cold eggs will cause the butter to become harder, and make your cookies come out flat.

Also if you're going to whip the whites, having the eggs at room temperature will help a lot.

I bet my money he is from India and is always wishing off his ass with his hand

>>11705566
>Also if you're going to whip the whites
Get your subtle anti-white propaganda out of my /jp/ please!

When I was a child there was some playground joke among all the neurotypical children.

"Open the fridge!" they'd say, their hands mimicking a fridge.
"Smell the cheese!" they'd continue, after I'd opened the pretend fridge their hands were apparently making, as they punched me on the nose for no good reason. Why did they punch me? That's not nice. I wouldn't jokingly murder your spouse. Maybe I should, and pretend it's a joke.

Sadly, a lot of Americans do not enjoy the taste of beer. They only enjoy the effects of the alcohol. It's a damn shame, especially since America makes a ton of world-class beers. Still, the general public usually has no interest in these beers, simply because they don't like the taste.

I still remember when I was at a family party and my cousin's husband forced me to drink whiskey. He would not allow me to take the shot straight and instead forced me to memorize some weird routine to minimize the flavor of the whiskey.

What a motherfucker.

That's why when you take it out you leave it to soften, holy shit how are you so retarded. I'm English too.

>>11705582
Of course it is, the Japanese use butter and butter is occasionally featured in some anime.

>>11705586
post proof that you are english

>>11705578
Yeah. Trolling aside, a British pub franchise did some "ale festival" (not really a festival) this year. The gimmick was that it was "UK meets USA" and it featured a lot of American beers. Some of them were damn tasty, and it's a shame they aren't bigger.

Though for the record I hate the "craft beer" culture in the US. Say all you want about how "real ale" fans are hipsters and old farts, at least it's a qualitative descriptor of the drink itself. "Craft beer" = "from a craft brewer" = "from one of 99% of US brewers". I think it's important to understand that a big brewery can make good real ale.

One thing that has always bothered me is how people take meat directly from the freezer and start to cook it.

Something that bothers me even more is how people cook and eat their steaks. It's all wrong. You need to let the meat get room temp before you cook it, and then you need to let it rest before you eat it so it will remain juicy. No salt before cooking it, either. And no sauces, god damnit. Why would you need any sort of sauce for a steak?

>>11705595
I don't understand how people can even eat meat its just disgusting

>>11705595
But ketchup on steak tastes great, Anon.

>>11705595
Not to mention they cook it to well done, completely ruining any sliver of flavor it might have left in it.

>>11705601
I've asked for a steak well done before just because I didn't know what the other options were.

Why don't they teach this in schools?

>>11705598

It's cool if you don't do it, but we'd still be little better than apes if we didn't have meat.

>>11705598
I feel the same way about vegetables so I can sympathize.

>>11705601
I absolutely hate people who complain about meat that isn't welldone. One time I was cooking for a group of people and they all decided that they "didn't like blood in their steaks". There's no blood in steaks anyway! What the hell is that supposed to mean!

>>11705607
Steak is pink because of the blood. If there's pink, I demand you go back and cook it until it's pink no more!

Uh oh the steak autists have gathered.

>>11705607

It's like "nerves" in meat. People just don't want to think of their food as part of an animal so it has to be unrecognizable.

I'm just not a big fan of the taste of red steak myself.

"Hey Anon, we're going to order pizza, what would you like on it?"
"Just pepperoni."

>>11705607
Honestly I always used to think the meat juices in rare steaks was blood, it's a common misconception as everyone refers to rare steaks as "bloody" and that. No clue why I didn't like that considering I love Black Pudding though.

>>11705591
The fact I know what oatcakes are proves I'm English.

>>11705612
Blood is removed from animals during butchering. There is no blood in steaks.

>>11705598
I don't either. Back when I was in school I'd get a bunch of shit for being a vegetarian but... god, I can't help that meat tastes awful. I remember trying bacon a while back and it was probably the worst thing I've ever eaten. I don't think it was cooked properly and the guy who made it for me drenched it in ketchup so maybe I'll try it again someday.
It's kind of bad now though, I want to try exploring meats but the flavour is too strong. And then chicken is nasty as well. The only sort of thing I can handle right now are hot dogs which is a shame, I want to try burgers! In my opinion this looks fantastic.

>>11705623
"Cheese"

>>11705622
You can't remove blood because then there'd be no moisture. The reason your skin is pink-white is because there's blood inside (look at a corpse some time). The reason animal flesh is pink is because there's blood inside.

>>11705623
I love green peppers and pineapple on my pizzas. Pepperoni is nice too if you don't have it constantly.

>>11705629

>corpses don't have blood
>meat isn't corpse

>>11705626
Bacon is awful. It tastes too salty and strong, and I don't get why people like it.

Burgers can be nice. I recommend making your own. It's not hard! Just buy some beef mince and mix them with a wee bit of egg and breadcrumbs, maybe some spices to taste. Then you get to play with them like Play-Doh® and fry/grill them which is pretty easy.

>>11705606
Awww, but vegetables are so tasty! There's so much you can do with them! Artichoke hearts and spinach are my favourites.

Speaking of vegetables, I just finished off some carrot and coriander soup and it was lovely. What are you eating /jp/? Or planning on eating/ate recently.

>>11705629
Myoglobin is what makes meat red, not blood. You can occasionally see flecks of blood on certain pieces of meat. The juices inside meat and blood are not the same.

I was a super picky eater as a child and my parents gave up trying to feed me fruits and vegetables. How do I get into fruits and vegetables?

People always say, "Oh, once you try them, you'll like them!" but that's bullshit. The ones I have tried are awful. I don't understand why you'd actively add those to your meal (at least, for taste reasons).

Please name some fruits and vegetables I can try. I like to eat things on their own, so ideally they would be things I can eat without having to add them to something else.

>>11705637
Microwaved pizza with coca cola, the meal of a true gentlemen.

>>11705641

Nobody eats vegetables because they enjoy them. Just eat them with your main meals and stop being a pussy.

Fruit sucks and is full of sugar.

>>11705595
>Why would you need any sort of sauce for a steak?
Because you're too poor to afford a halfway decent cut of meat, so you need something to help choke it down.

>>11705641

Mixing a bit of everything in a salad helps.

>>11705645
My main meals are usually bread, oats, chicken, or chicken sandwiches. Sometimes I have beef sandwiches or pizza.

I tried adding lettuce and spinach to my sandwiches but they ruined the taste and added a crunchy texture I didn't like.

>>11705641
For fruits you should eat stuff that's in season in your area. For instance, if you were to buy some berries now, they'd probably taste bland, because they were shipped from halfway around the globe. To minimize lost produce, fruits need to be picked before they're ripe so they're harder and can withstand the long-distance shipping. Also, you cannot ripen a fruit by putting it in a paper bag. Once the fruit has been removed from the plant, it cannot gain anymore sugar, so it cannot become more ripe. All you're doing is softening it.

I'm not really an expert on fruits, but I do know oranges and other citrus are in season during winter, but probably aren't really ready to be picked yet. Assuming you're in the US, even if you're not near one of the major growing states (California, Arizona, Florida), the distance between one of those states and your state is probably less than the distance between your state and a country like Chile.

>>11705641
Adding them to your meal is the error most faglords go through. Most vegetable have very prominent tastes that get over the taste of whatever they're with, and the mix sucks.

Also, cooking them destroys both the texture and the taste. Never cook your vegetables.

They're best raw. I personally enjoy taking them right out of the ground, cleaning them with pure water and eating, but you don't need to go that far. You can just get things like carrots, apples, tomatoes, cabbages, oranges, tangerines, and whatever else picks your interest, clean them and eat them. Some of them mix greatly with salt, tomatoes specially.

Whoever eats their vegetables in any other way that isn't by themselves is a huge pleb.

>>11705651

Then just don't bother with vegetables. They blow hard and you're only supposed to eat them because of vitamins and minerals. Nobody actually enjoys them, only fools like >>11705654 use it as an excuse to sound refined and cultured (probably an amerishit lol) and veggies too, I guess, but they're just too weak natured to eat meat.

Again - fruit sucks major dick and isn't worth the time. Except watermelon, which is like eating hard, flavoured water.

>>11705641
Try eating small amounts at a time? Like your local store might have ricotta and spinach-stuffed ravioli, maybe add potato and carrot chunks to your soup. Also, you might like roasted potatoes with gravy! And then from there you could try roasted parsnips. Also, you can just boil or steam most vegetables and throw some butter on them (you really do need to do this if you're not using gravy or other sauces) and eat it just like that. Off the top of my head you can just do that to broccoli/peas/corn/carrots, so just prepare and cook them then add them as a side to your meal. Try mixing them in with whatever else is on your plate so it won't taste as different.

>>11705664
Watermelon fruit is absolutely disgusting. It reminds me of sucking up slobber from someone who just ate some watermelon flavored candy. I literally gag whenever I try to eat it. I'm also allergic to it.

>>11705664
I dunno anon, I personally love vegetables. But yeah, if you don't enjoy something and if you still don't like them no matter what you try maybe it'd be best to give up. No reason to eat something you don't like, right? There's always fruit juices.

Butter doesn't get too hard when being in the fridge, but nutella or peanut butter putting in there is a sin.

>>11705664
I WISH I was American, I live in a fucking shithole. The reason I enjoy vegetables is because I grew in a fucking farmland and I literally could walk off when I was hungry and pick carrots, grapes, cabbages, oranges and all kinds of shit directly from whenever they were growing. I didn't have any other option if I wanted a lunch in the middle of the day, so I just fucking learned to like them.

Nowadays I can eat whatever I want, but vegetables are cheap, tasty, and easy to eat anytime, so why would I stop?

Nice jumping to conclusions, dude.

>>11705664

>putting Nutella or Peanut Butter in the Fridge
Jesus Christ, who the fuck does that?
I can almost sort of understand putting very cheap peanut butter in the fridge during the summer to try and keep the oil from separating, but even why the fuck would you do that?

>>11705653
Speaking of oranges, Sunkist gets oranges from my area. Workers go door to door to houses with orange trees on their property and offer to pick the oranges for them, then the workers put the oranges into these gigantic bushels, and then they take them to the Sunkist factory downtown. I always thought it was a bit weird how they just took oranges from normal people. I could piss on all my orange trees and then someone would definitely be drinking my piss, hahaa!

>>11705654
I bet you're one of those guys who disassembles their sandwich and then eats every component separately.

If you can't figure out how to make vegetables work as part of a dish then you are bad at cooking.

You're missing out on the beauty that is apple pie and pumpkin bread. There's nothing wrong with cooking vegetables as long as you do it properly. I can't stand when people cook their vegetables to the point where they're mush! It's fucking disgusting and they need to stop that.

cruciform vegetables are the key to any sort of healthy living (ie, spinach, kale, broccoli, cabbage, brusle sroups, etc). one of the few natural sources of vitamin k or d-glucarate calcium, 1000% dv of vitamin c in a serving, plus many other vitamins and trace minerals.
