/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Honestly i really dislike that they are my closest grocery store. 90% of their shelf space is junk food with seed oil, or booze. If you actually want to cook they barely have anything. I went the other day and they were out of SALT. fucking how?

I agree with you, you reasoning makes sense. unfortunately it doesn't resonate with autists.

Can you use vegetable gravy granules to make vegetable stock for soup?

I tried googling it and I can't get past a discussion of soup vs broth.

I've made a cup of boiling water and put vegetable gravy granules in it and then I drank that but I don't know if it tasted like gravy or stock because I don't really know what stock is.

Any food historians around?

I was wondering about what food was like in Southeast and East Asia (well, Hunan and Sichuan I guess) before chilis arrived by way of the Portuguese. When we think of, say, Thai or Indonesian cuisine, they seem almost inseperable from those spicy little fuckers. Was it insanely peppery, like pre-chili Indian food?

Pic unrelated.
