    I'm dead serious about the jalapenos thing in cinnamon buns. You want jalapenos with good flavor. It's not about the spiciness. It's like chili powder in brownies or salt in caramel, it's all about accenting flavors.

    The work cafeteria went Super Bowl-themed with the lunch buffet today: foot-long hotdogs, bratwurst, chicken tenders, and waffle fries with cheese and chili available for slathering. Gonna enjoy every minute of the impending gastro disaster.

    I ate one of those naked chicken chalupas last night

    while I was eating it I was thinking "this is fine. every part of this is perfectly acceptable."

    which like, as far as fast food goes, is like an A+

    y'all should eat it

    ask for sour cream

    QUESTION:

    Why is something called sour cream, which is, by definition, spoiled dairy, so good?

    And why do the French call their sour cream "fresh cream?"

    It's in the same family of food, but it's got a milder flavor and looser texture.

    artificial selection on those bacteria I suppose

    I imagine the desperate human who had to decide to starve or eat spoiled food getting the surprise of their life when they had sour cream. "Wow.. this is... good????"

    It's not the same thing. They're similar, and you can use them for similar purposes, but crème fraîche and sour cream are not the same thing.

    I mean they are

    they are slight variations of the same thing. One has more fat than the other but that's pretty much it. It's like saying full fat milk and 2% are different. They taste slightly different but they're both milk.

    I was looking for the second of the pizzas I made. We only ate one and I froze the other. I can not find it. My parents tell me we ate it last week but I can not remember that at all and I am very bugged by this fact.

    I like the chicken chalupas, but the cool habanero double tacos are still my favorite right now. They give me flashbacks to a better time with spicy frito burritos.

    Sour cream is the result of the thought process that begins with "what happens if you try to ferment milk into alcohol?"

    Oh! Oh my! That cheese is generally not used in melts. And for the life of me, I can't remember why, though if you suggest that here in Norway, people will think you're really weird. Please go for it and let me know how it goes. It is very good on warm things like waffles, though.

    Actually, I'd offer to send you some, but isn't it problematic to mail dairy internationally?

    But they don't tell you what fast food made good sausage. Just that some of it wasn't completely inedible.

    Mrs Rhesus got mad at me in the pub over the weekend for abusing the pot of melted butter that came with our charcuterie board

    Things that butter is for: bread

    Things that butter (apparently) isn't for: haggis, salami, olives

    there's melted cheese in the vicinity of bread, it's clearly a melt AKA a grilled cheese sandwich

    I had a 5 guys grilled cheese sandwich the other day. With mushrooms and grilled onions in it (GF's request).

    It was pretty good.

    Their cajun fries are probably the best fry of a national chain.

    In fact I would go as far to say that 5 guys is the best casual dining nation wide burger chain in the UK.

    I classify casual dining as "you have to collect your order" though someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Well I mean. You paid for that pot of butter. Every drop not used is money wasted.

    In the US casual dining would be more like dennys or friendlys (still has waiters)

    5 guys is the middle ground of casual dining and fast food

    yea, casual dining, you show up in whatever clothes you have on, sit down, and a waiter takes your order.
    everything from mom and pop shops, dives, denny's up to red lobster and other chained restaurants.

    fast food, go to the teller, give your order, get it within 5minutes, all while still standing, or at a drive-thru.

    fine dining, like casual, but more expensive, portions are a bit smaller, but damn some of them are a divine experience, and there is a dress code, you shlub, try to care about your appearance.

    I don't think I'd like a restaurant with a dress code.

    Mostly because I don't have much nice clothes and don't want to wear them just to go out to eat. Also shit would be expensive.

    Id rather eat at big boy than at some fancy place with napkin rings any day. Forever.

    I went to this really fancy restaurant in NJ on a business trip one time - literally left the airport for this dinner, so I was in jeans and a t-shirt, but they still let me in. We all had a laugh over it and a few bottles of wine, but there was nothing on the menu that I really wanted because my pallet is... not refined, and everything had mushrooms or looked gross. So I settled on the Lobster Gnocchi, because I like both lobster and gnocchi.

    Everyone else got a big stonkin' steak, which I didn't find on my menu.

    Because the restaurant gave me their lunch menu.

    I was so mad. I love steak.
