/ck/ - Food & Cooking

needs some thickening and some garlic before it gets used for that.

was pretty good.

>>9530927
I usually don't usually dilute condensed soup, and sometimes I thicken it with crushed crackers.

and while I have cooked some in the past I still sometimes burn my boiled eggs...

>>9530876
>>9530888
I don't get the reference

>>9530755
>>9530748
correction
if eaten on its own it DOES need thickening
either that or the chunk of butter I put in thinned it way more than I thought it would

>>9530829
the resultant soup

actually tasty, needs a little salt.

allright trying the OP option

though if the smells I got from the freshly opened cans are any indication of flavors I will be buying it again so I might try
>>9530754

>>9530755
it pours, but yeah flouring up might thicken it too far...

so I acquired pic related and I'm wondering how best to use it to cook with.

though I kind of am tempted to pour them out together into a bowl with some butter, shredded cheddar, and leftover shredded chicken(though I'd be using ground sausage if I had it) heat it up and see what happens.

I came here to talk about comfort food

because I needed a break from /d/ /tg/ and /aco/

>>8561267
no...at least go with a fried chicken sandwich that isnt made by compression-sintering chicken paste...

>>8561177
>you're persistent you fucker
one of my few "good" qualities

>>8561188
>Lastly, the McChicken, the best fast food sandwich
>the best fast food sandwich
as a South-Texan I am culturally obligated to argue for the Double-Double from WhatABurger as the best fast-food sandwich

>>8561144
...yeah, and if I wanted to see people's "usual" meals I'd ask, the stuff in this thread doesn't need to be healthy it just needs to be the stuff you eat to feel good or possibly feel guilty about.

>>8561094
I just really like my fried eggs.

>dominoes
never ever dude, got a place nearby that does hand-made I like though.

>I actually have never experienced "comfort" from a food
have you ever derived satisfaction or contentment from food?
if you have then what food was it?

>>8561101
because I have a high metabolism and can put down 3 of those and call it a meal.
and because I am secure in my dietary choices.

>>8561045
jam flavor preference?
I prefer strawberry.
all of my past girlfriends have preferred Apricot
this has lead to conflict.

>>8561042
out of a box or make your own?

what food do YOU like to eat(especially when stressed) even if it's unhealthy, not trendy, looks like shit on a cracker(or worse), or is just a guilty pleasure?

what cooking do you have to do for it?

pic related is a recent favorite of mine, a slice of cheap bread dipped in melted butter spread with garlic and toasted, place a fried egg on top and a slice of cheese(Sharp Cheddar for life) on top of that. throw it back in the toaster oven for a minute or so to melt the cheese and seal in the egg.

1.) how does that sound to you guys?
2.) do not consume if you have a moustache

I prefer hardwood coals over all. it always seems the most forgiving thing for me to use for heat.

if I cannot have wood-fire, then gas. I can see what amount of heat is going into the process. it heats fast and consistently from use to use.

I fucking HATE my electric range-top. mine is old and super-shitty and inconsistent with it's heat outputs. I suspect that it biases me against all other electric stoves...VIOLENTLY

>>8457252
I come to /ck/ because good food is like sex and good pictures of food is like porn.

what is dandan?
what goes into it?
what wild variables can go into it?
it looks good.

>>8459813
apparently yes and also no.

ON THE SUBJECT OF CHILI

I am making my first Chili ever today...the only meat I have is spicy breakfast sausage and ground turkey(local shop is shit, next nearest shop is 45 minutes away), only chilies I had to cook with were jalepenos.

I now have 9 hours to wait for my slow cooker(a gift from Christmas)

>>8265154
nope...

I am a bachelor whose slowly expanding his ability to cook with small careful steps
it's why I was asking about the sauteing of the shrimp

>>8265160
actually, it's not bad.

as I've been using it it works well, it needs garlic and could do with some more spices but on it's own with bottled alfredo sauce and the cream of shrimp. it's actually reasonably good.

>>8265115
I buy my shrimp shelled and pre-frozen because that 4-fold difference in price is a BITCH

cream of shrimp and pre-made alfredo sauce is what I've been using so far. it tends to work but usually needs time to thicken

never thought of using peanut butter for things like this...

IT'S TIME AGAIN FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF "QUESTIONS THAT DON'T DESERVE THEIR OWN THREAD"

I'll start things off with a couple of trash-child level questions.

when making shrimp Alfredo
should I add shrimp to the sauce as I am cooking or add them at the end?
should I saute the shrimp?
what is the shortest simplest way to make a basic alfredo sauce?

>>8255654
>Horchata
thats unhealthy?

I am making shrimp alfredo, does sauteing the shrimp before adding them to the sauce effect the flavor?
or am I a monster for adding the shrimp to the sauce?

just assume I am stupid for the purposes of this question...
