    They're basically really thin funnel cake that's been soaked in sugar syrup but still crunchy and then you bite then and the syrup comes out into your mouth and it's all sweet and saffron and oh god so good.

    Seems like a pretty decadent recipe from the Depression era. I would've expected something like

    1 whole onion diced
    Cup of dust
    Whisper your memories of pork into a cloth handkerchief and then wring it out into the pot
    2 cups standing tire water

    Once the water is boiling and you've pried John Steinbeck off the stove pipe, stare, despondent, at your fallow fields and the winking gravestones of 3 generations of family you've had to bury.

    So I was curious about that too because a lot of the recipes aren’t particularly extravagant but they also don’t scream depression-era cooking, and they actually explain in the foreword that these recipes were originally broadcast over the radio by the Department of Agriculture beginning in 1926, so a few years before the depression really kicked off.

    You are absolutely cooking a radio-audience version of a Ranji Smile recipe. He was to curry powder in the early 20th century what Emeril Lagasse was to creole seasoning in the early 2000s.

    Ranji Smile was a celebrity chef when that meant having your own restaurant in a hotel that people travelled from all over the country to eat at. If you want his full biography and some of his other recipes, I highly recommend Eight Flavors: The Untold Story Of American Cuisine by Sarah Lohman.

    The book also contains the best recipe for chocolate mousse I have ever made. In the soy sauce chapter, if that piques your interest.

    I would actually be very interested in that chocolate mousse recipe.

    Also this curry is really tasty. It's far from the most dynamic curry I've ever had, but it's really, uh, harmonious? Everything blends together really pleasantly. It's a little sweet, a touch sour, and it feels immediately like a comfort food even though I've never had it before.

    Here you go!
    Soy Sauce Chocolate Mousse

    Ingredients
    12 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
    1 tbsp vanilla extract
    1 tbsp soy sauce
    4 tbsp unsalted butter
    1 envelope flavorless gelatin
    2 cups (1 pint) heavy whipping cream, cold
    Instructions
    • Refrigerate mixing bowl and beaters
    • Fill a medium saucepan with several inches of water and set over high heat. In a heat-safe bowl, combine chocolate, vanilla, soy sauce, and butter. Bring the water to a boil and then turn burner down to medium-low heat. Plate the bowl over the top of the pan and stir constantly until the chocolate and butter have just melted. Remove from heat.
    • Sprinkle chocolate with gelatin; stir gently until dissolved. Set aside 15 minutes.
    • Beat whipping cream with wire whisk attachment until stiff peaks form. Gently fold chocolate into cream in two batches. Fold until just blended; it should have some streaks of white whipped cream,
    • Refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 3 days.

    DEAL.

    Except the bebinca.

    That dessert somehow manages to combine two things I don't like (very sweet + coconut) into something I love.

    She's 1) a woman 2) who is outspoken about feminism 3) and was in an MCU movie that dared suggest men are not the main characters of everything all the time forever.

    Given it was Carol Danvers, kinda unavoidable with her being an Air Force pilot before getting kree-nesia.

    I mean it isn't extraordinary in terms of marvel movies and propaganda either. It's just misogynists hating her for being a woman in particular.

    I actually thought even though she was great in it she deserved a better movie. It felt so cheap and manipulative in it's emotions to me at parts. Left the whole thing a little hollow feeling.

    The cat was fun. So was the twist with the alien people. And the buddy movie stuff was ok. It just added up to less than the sum of its parts because it felt very by the numbers.

    The movie was one elevated by the actors and their chemistry and not the plot itself. That said I do enjoy it. Id take it over thor 2 or either of the iron man sequels for example.

    I liked Captain Marvel well enough. Yeah it was by the book, that pretty much defines Marvel movies at this point, but when that musical number kicked in at the end I was right there cheering.

    Also the cat was amazing.

    I liked captain marvel. brie larson was riveting and she had great chemistry with sam jackson. the accusation that it is propagandistic is weird, to me, because every person in the air force besides carol and maria was a shithead. I don't understand how someone can walk away from that movie thinking it wanted you to have a positive impression of the US military. I'd prefer if she wasn't in the air force at all, sure, but I'll take that over, say, Iron Man's near-condemnation of US arms dealing, just to use one example.

    I dunno, I really don't like seeing military shit in movies at all since I learned the conditions they have to obey to get pentagon approval and support.

    Again this is in no way unique to captain marvel or marvel movies at all really but like, I guess the rest of the movie feeling kind of rote didn't leave me much else to think about.

    Going back to the discussion of Gulab, I love me some, I sadly have been unable to capture the magic of making them at home.

    I can however do a nice Globi, which is Roman cheese fritters deep fried and slathered in spiced honey.

    The key to british baked beans lies in the full breakfast, they're the glue that holds the whole thing together, but are disappointing on their own.

    The best thing marvel did with Captain Marvel was
    The twist with the skrulls. They are EASILY the best thing to come out of the current crop of movies. Along with America’s Ass.

    Ben Mendelsohn was an indie film darling in australia when I was growing up in the 90s and it's both wild and delightful to see him hitting the Hollywood big time now, 20+ years later.

    I think you follow Jadocs lead and just order 5 or the samosas (2 piece) and go to town.

    Alternatively, I guess i only know about norther Indian food, cause everything in those sections is a pretty good curry. Saag! Korma! Vindaloo! (different curry sauces)

    All good stuff!

    Or get a biryani rice dish, but biryani is very easy to mess up, if it isn't their specialty

    Pretty much the safest bet on earth is samosas, garlic naan, and chicken tikka masala if you've never had indian food and are worried about getting something you might not like. Samosas are deep fried pockets filled with potatoes vegetables and spices. Naan is indian flatbread and is delicious and a required order. Tikka masala is a curry dish with a creamy, somewhat spicy but not overwhelming tomato based sauce.

    If we weren't in plaguetimes still, the actual best way to start to figure this out is via indian lunch buffets.
