It's typical late October weather here, with rain and all that, and I literally don't know what to cook, to be warm, comfy and tasty. Send help, pls and thank you 🩷

I have never personally had one but I have had guest who the first year brought a half raw turkey and the second year they brought a corn casserole with chunks of glass in it that i discovered in my mouth! I guess their glass thermometer broke when they tested the temperature but decided to bring it anyways. I did not invite them again....

I am just wondering if other people have had any weird food things happen with their thanksgiving food?

I’m going to be cooking some chicken quarters that I marinaded with Dijon and some honey, and am wondering what the veggies (beets, sweet potatoes, potatoes, carrots) would be good seasoned with?

I usually cook chicken and veggies together on a sheet pan.

Everyone loves ketchup and fries but I love to dip mine in mayo.

I know people that put mustard on pizza, dip their pickles in peanut butter or push them into Takis. I even have a friend that practically recoiled when I asked for Hawaiian pizza, then suggested pickle pizza as the alternative. there are some people that shouldn't be able to judge, but still do. Anyone know why that is?

EDIT: by worse I mean less conventional (though if I didn't, the people I'm talking about called pineapple on pizza absolutely disgusting before I said anything, so I would be justified). in the scenario with the pickle pizza specifically, it's the same kind of sour. the big difference is that one is sweet, the other is salty.

EDIT 2 before I have to deal with explaining it: I HAVE tried pickle pizza, it isn't bad. the person for most of the other food combos is my sister, so I'm allowed to be mean

I prefer them in cakes, pancakes, muffins, and brownies. How do you like your eggs?

I was accidentally given a container of sun dried tomatoes in olive oil with a delivery order I made today. I don't mind the mix-up at all, but this is a food I have never encountered before. What can you do with them?

Hello, emetophobe here. had some beef Thursday, it had a mild fish flavor and smell, and I didn’t think anything of it in the moment, so I ate a good amount of it. Then my mom said it was off, and ever since i’ve been paranoid.

anyways, its Sunday now. And I haven’t felt a single symptom. Been perfectly fine. But my anxiety is extremely high, and I just keep waiting for the food poisoning to kick in.

I’ve heard it could take days, or even weeks for it to present. So idk when i’m gonna be in the clear. If anyone could give me some insight on this, it would help. Thank you.

TDLR: had some possibly spoiled beef a few days ago, but haven’t felt any symptoms of food poisoning yet. whats the probability of me getting sick?

I love watching recipe videos on TikTok, Facebook, instagram, all that. But why does every one have to squish everything. For example I was scrolling and came across a video of cinnamon sugar donuts they looked delicious but then she immediately started squishing them to show how soft they are I guess? Immediately scrolled.

I’ve recently gotten into smoking meats, and I regularly use lemons as a marinade. At times I don’t use a whole lemon (especially when cooking for one), what do you do with half a lemon? So far I’ve been cutting it up (along with the peels) boiling it to perfume the kitchen a while I cooked or cleaned, but I’m looking for other options too!

Sometimes I have more than one, usually not more than 4.

hi,

I ate air fryed chicken tight meat with air fryed potato's. they were cooked two days ago and stored within less than 2 hours after cooking in glass containers in the fridge.

yesterday when i ate the same lunch i got nauseous and had kinda mild diarrhea after but thought it was something other than lunch that caused this.

today i ate the same and got the same symptoms, i haven't yet had diarrhea but the stomach ain't happy hahah.

was wondering what bacteria could have caused this? I have been meal prepping the same lunch for 1.5 months as of this week, this is the first time i had issues with it.

Family of 4 - I’m looking to reduce my grocery bill by switching some items from store bought to homemade. What items will give me the best bang for my buck? Ground my own beef? Make my own bread?

This is a weird question, but I don't know how else to ask this. I'm a writer, and I'm working on a book with one of the characters who is a chef. I'm trying to work some symbolism into a dish that's supposed to represent a lifetime of grief and sorrow that the character has experienced. Like, the dish tastes like the sadness they have experienced. Could anyone please help point me in the right direction with a conceptual dish like that?

​

Q1. Which millet/ragi chips do you buy today, and what annoys you about current options?

Q2. What would make you switch: taste, price, cleaner ingredients, or format?

Q3. What healthy product do you wish existed but can't find

This may be a stupid question but I need some clarification. My Spanish class is having a potluck next week. I'd like to make homemade empanadas (and maybe some sort of sauce to go with them).

But how do I store and transport them properly so they stay good (not soggy, don't get old)?

I'm gonna have to make them the night before. They're gonna have meat in them, I may do some vegetarian ones as well. The classroom does have a microwave. I have this class 3rd (second-to-last) block.

Can someone help an old lady out. I keep seeing a recipe ingredient abbreviated as ddsf and I have no idea what it means. It’s driving me nuts! Thanks

My wife and I are old folk and quick and easy food preparation is very desirable. I made the mistake of buying a box of envelopes of those "potatoes". The envelopes last for a long time. They make up quick and easy. Add a bit of butter and they are okay, just okay, to eat...in my opinion. My wife on the other hand, holds a contrary opinion. Any suggestions on how to make them more acceptable to her?

Everyone has at least one weird food combination they secretly or proudly enjoy. It might sound disgusting to others, but somehow it just works for you. What's yours? No judgement here!

I'm a bit stuck on the wording here.

Celtic sea salt describes its fine ground salt as unrefined, but also says the crystals are milled. So grinding it smaller and refining it aren't the same thing?

That makes sense I think, but then what am I supposed to understand when a salt says "unprocessed"?

Is it about what's left in it rather than whether anyone has done anything to it at all?

Not saying grinding is bad. I'd quite like my salt to dissolve. I just want to know what these words actually tell me about what I'm cooking with

It doesn't have to be fancy maybe a quick garlic fried rice with a crispy fried egg, a warm bowl of chicken soup, or a grilled cheese with a side of spicy sauce.

What’s your ultimate go-to meal when you just want something cozy and familiar?

Hi all,

I am working on a rotating 6 week meal plan. Currently in the experimentation phase as I iron out which dishes to include. I've recently been enjoying cooking various cuisines from outside my homeland of Australia.

To this end I thought "why not include them all", so I was hoping the redditors here would be kind enough to share their #1 meal from their country. I will compile a list and spend the next half year cooking through them alphabetically.

I have a pretty well stocked kitchen, and most of the cooking appliances I can think of. So unless your dish requires some super unique equipment I should be able to give it an honest attempt. I will try and follow each recipe as authentically as I can, barring ingredient availability and substitutions.

Currently I have 197 spaces for the globally recognised nations. However, I am aware that some cuisines do not have a "country" of origin. For example; the Sami people of Northern Europe would largely fall under Sweden following the post guidelines. I would instead like you to submit your dish under your cultural banner of choice with maybe a small header of why you love it and the importance the dish has to your people.

Guidelines:

Entries should include:

• Dish Name
• Country/Cuisine/Culture of Origin
• Ingredients list
• Recipe

Bonus points:

• Small background on the dish
• Serving size/recipe scale
• Macro nutrients per portion
• Acceptable substitutions.
• Required utensils and impliments

I will tally up the votes and can attach the finalised list if that's something people would like. For contentious entries or near split votes I will include both and let the cooking decide.

Meals will be prepared and consumed on a daily basis, so heavily involved ceremonial dishes might be surpassed by a homely quick recipe due to both time and health restraints.

I'm a big steak guy and I eat all forms of steak my preference is well done because I love the more earthy flavour and it pairs the best with a good homemade steak sauce but why do people hate so much on people for liking well done

Obviously I'd never get well done at a restaurant though as they are usually not very good at making well done

Why hate people for something they're not forcing you to eat because I happily cook any form of steak my guests want when making steak

Temporarily staying with a family member and this is a habit of theirs. Not washing their hands before opening the fridge door, using the microwave, stovetop knobs, or spice containers. As a result, food residue or oils are left on these surfaces.

I personally wash my hands before handling anything communal. At the very least, I'm not leaving food residues or oils intentionally on handles, knobs, or spice containers. Am I neurotic or is not cleaning residues and oils off these surfaces unpleasant enough to warrant them being cleaned before leaving the kitchen?

I love to cook, but I'm a full time student with disabilities and a job and it's kicking my ass. I need suggestions for simple things I can eat.

Here's the catch: I'm deathly allergic to nightshades, intolerant to dairy (not lactose intolerant, that would be too easy) and my stomach issues make it so I have to eat a lower carb diet.

When I try to look up easy meals, it's all combinations of cheese on tomato on bread. I mean I know there's more than that but you get my point, it's hard out here.

What I want to know is what you're eating after a long day. Not necessarily what you're serving to people, but what you're throwing together to get the job done. Or simple recipes I can eat that are easy to batch cook.

I purchased a 9.4lb. Pork Butt on 10/8. It is still in the factory vacuum seal. The "sell by" date was 10/17. I put it directly in the fridge when I got home from the grocery store, and planned on smoking it on 10/11, but I had to travel for work unexpectedly.

I return from my work trip tomorrow and would like to throw it on the smoker on Friday morning (10/23). Is this okay? Or did I miss the window?

Timeline:

• Purchased on 10/8
• "Sell By" date was 10/17
• Smoke day is 10/23
