Those aren't traps, its fat. Look at all the neck fat, too.

Not that I'm any thinner myself (I actually am but not by much), but at least I can fucking appreciate no one wants to look at me.

Are you guys all fucking crazy?


First of all, nobody cares what you look like.
Secondly, if you want bullshit compliments /soc/ is right around the corner.
Lastly, are you fucking crazy? /ck/ might not be the most degenerate of boards but this is still 4chan. Don't be retarded.

Try it right now and post results please.

Alright, will try

>>3799930
Sounds good. Will they let out a lot of water?

>>3799912
NO OVEN. STOP TEMPTING ME WITH BAKED GOODS

>>3799907
Shit, I'm retarded. It's 3lbs

>>3799906
Don't have an oven

>>3799887
Are you fucking with me? I dont like mayo or celery but I am intrigued

>>3799886
Theyre small pears, its like 30 of them

I have been given just over 1lbs of ripe pears and I don't know what to do with them. I have no oven available right now but I am competent enough in the kitchen that I'd be willing to try almost any recipe.

Any ideas of what to do with them?
Also have a fuckton of pink grapefruit if you have any ideas for that, if not I am happy to juice them.

3 parts Whiskey
2 parts Fresh Lemon Juice
Sugar to taste.

Over ice.

I don't like them particularly sweet but if I don't add any sugar it feels like my teeth are going to melt.

So simple to make and so good, every time.
You can really taste the whiskey without the sometimes unpleasant burn, and the acidity is really refreshing specially in the summer. Man, I'd kill for one right now.

Whiskey sour for me. Could drink them all day long. Could be a problem, really. I love how you can make them so strong but still have them taste delicious because of how strong the lemon juice is.

Incidentally, if you Google for a Whiskey Sour recipe it will bring up a Food Network "recipe" that involves whiskey and...sour mix. Heartbreaking.

Do you cook Iranian food at home? Do you have any recipes?

And honestly, I don't know. Our server was some kind of middle eastern but didn't have an accent, there was an older guy walking around the restaurant, I assumed him to be the owner, and he did have an accent but god knows.

>>3757655
Alright, thanks, that helps. Won't feel so self conscious next time. Do you live in Iran currently?

>>3757635
So I won't be glared at if I do it wrong, like if I poured soy sauce on my sushi at a proper sushi place?

>>3757633
It was, you have no idea! I don't know what I was expecting but it was like nothing I have ever had before. I just had a leftover chicken thigh, straight out of the fridge and still in the restaurant box, and I almost licked the fucking container and cried when I was done with it.

>>3757628
That's why I posted here. I found no help on Google at all, every "guide" I found was for eating in an Iranian home as opposed to eating out at a Persian restaurant. Not sure if these restaurants just aren't all that common (it was my first time going to one and I haven't seen many around) or it's meant to be obvious how to eat all that scrumptious shit and I am just an imbecile. Could easily be the latter, to be fair.

Thanks! I wrote those down and I'll be sure to try them. The person I went to the restaurant with ordered some beef and chicken kabobs and they were out of this world! So juicy and tender it was outrageous. Even the chicken!

And the crispy rice from the bottom of the pot sound great. My mother always cooks rice so that there's always a crispy layer at the bottom and it's easily my favourite part of eating rice back at home.


If served yogurt, as I was the other day, is it meant to be dipped into with the flatbread or eaten alone or what? My first instinct was to dip but it was served after the bread and with a spoon. It was very, very thick and had garlic and possibly black pepper in it. It was really flavourful and fresh but I didn't really knot what to do with it.

>>3757588
I know that, I'm sure they don't give a shit as long as I pay and come back, but I'd like to know how not to look like a retard.

I went to an Iranian restaurant the other day and felt completely out of place. The food was fucking glorious, so delicious! But I didn't know how to eat any of the stuff that was served to me. I would love to go back to the restaurant, the food was really outstanding, but I don't want to make a fool out of myself - again.

How does you eat Middle Eastern food?

I was served flatbread and a bowl full of herbs (mint, cilantro and something else I didn't recognise), nuts and a softish cheese (sort of like feta) as an appetzer, along with a bowl of very, very thick yogurt. For the main course, I got chicken thighs in pomegranate sauce along with a plate of yellow and white rice. I know different cultures eat rice in different ways. And, to be honest, I didn't know what the fuck to do with my appetizer. So, seriously, how does one eat Middle Eastern food!??!?!

moot have you ever worn one of these hats?

I used to not be able to eat hard boiled eggs. The fully cooked yolk texture put me off. Turns out I was being given overcooked hard boiled eggs. Love a perfectly cooked one as much as a perfectly cooked soft boiled egg. Wont touch runny or jelly-like egg whites but I don't mind having sort of runny scrambled eggs. It's the texture of the white, the mental image of it coming out of the shell all slimy and then putting it in my mouth before it's cooked. It's like eating snot.

That would make me vomit. I love runny yolks but any sign of anything less than a perfectly solid albumen makes me gag. It sucks because it's so hard to find the perfect balance. I love soft boiled eggs but never make them because if the white isn't completely set I pretty much have to throw them out
