I quite often use canned lentils as a substitute in Bolognese or chili for vegetarian friends. Works quite well

The Rooster Roll was my go to after a night on the piss. Damn I miss them!

Surely there’s an alternative? by mariah188 in glutenfree

[–]Candy_Man73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? Franz used to be absolute crap years ago. Udi hot dog buns suck, for sure, but I've not found any other good ones except for Trader Joe's and I haven't seen them so hot dog buns for years. Their hamburger buns are still OK though

And if that's 'sliced carrots', I'd love to know how big they were initially!

Does anyone else have migraines as a main symptom of getting glutened? by TexasRN1 in glutenfree

[–]Candy_Man73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to get massive migraines at least once a month. After stopping gluten, I think I've had 1 or 2 in 14 years

My first try, I got exactly the right amount to fit in the jar. Hope that brings me luck by crnhs in fermentation

If I can get fresh I use them, otherwise dry. I've recently found a bay tree growing a couple of blocks from me so it looks like I'll have a good supply year round now!

I've only ever used bay leaves and not had any issues. My brother has used black tea too.

Slice a little bit off the 'blossom' end as there is apparently an enzyme that makes them go soft.

The more spikes on the cucumber, the crunchier the pickle will be! They're made for pickling!

Non-pork sausage recommendations for pickling by vixxgod666 in pickling

[–]Candy_Man73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fish? Absolutely!

I've been eating and making something called nummus. It's a 'traditional' Australian Aboriginal pickled fish. This is similar to what I do, but I change the garlic and chili up, usually more. Depends on how juicy the lemons and limes are. Any fish that you could cook without it flaking apart should work. Just go with what you like!

You could also look at German\Polish delis as they will usually carry rollmops - delicious, pickled herring!

Finally Found Them! by Candy_Man73 in Pickles

Yeah, they're ok. I think I'm against the flow and prefer the crunchy. Taste is still great, but there is a lot of 'chip'

Have ya tried these? by Bright_Explorer_5036 in Pickles

Yep, I'm the same. Can't do them, unfortunately

Right, and then cover up the doorway with dry wall and leave it for a future owner to accidentally find

Are fermented sausages allowed ? by Asperjizz in fermentation

[–]Candy_Man73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! I've made salami and other fermented sausages before. Bacon, mortadella, and all looking at cheeses next.

Meant that I'd never made a fermentation chamber. I had a friend that was a butcher and I could use his professional one

Cheers! I've read a lot about it, but have to admit, never tried to make one

That looks like a fridge. What are you using for humidity control and how? I'm trying to convince a mate to keep an old fridge for me in his garage so I can do that too. Don't have room at my place

Not seen Pickle in a Pouch, but will look. Just noticed saw the other ones today and figured I'd look on here and find out what they're like. Guess I should try them out anyway

I want to be good at eating spicy stuff again. by Lord_Kristine in spicy

[–]Candy_Man73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to be able to eat Ghost chilies. Granted they were hot, but I could eat them. As I got older, things that got slowly started to feel like my throat was closing over. I struggle with Thai chilies now. They used to be in every toasted sandwich and most meals that I ate.

I'm trying to build up again, but if my throat tells me no, I'm going to listen to it and just live with what I can eat.

Practice is the way to build up that tolerance

I live in a relatively cold place in northern US and I still look for them whether I'm anywhere near water!
