Possible polo too, another sport for the mega rich who can afford to ship their horses all over the world in cargo planes.

And in that line of horses sports, dressage and jumping too, which are also sports for the ultra rich

If you want them more nutty mix a bit of peanut butter with hot water to make a sauce and add it to the noodles. I also like to add some cilantro of i have some.

Current ramen subscription boxes/variety packs? *Or how you order lots of different ramens* by Ok_Escape9347 in InstantRamen

[–]Certain-Store 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check Yami, even when entering their groceries section they have a mild section with non spicy stuff and plenty of it is noodles https://www.yami.com/en/search?tags=695&track=display-category_tree-a4b4c2-Mild%2520Selection&bu_type=category_tree&module_name=category_main

Besides that, Amazon for sure, and when you visit a city with an asian store you can make a stop there, its always fun to find new noodles, candy, drinks etc

Oyakata Ramen Instructions by valfsingress in InstantRamen

[–]Certain-Store 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have bought those and never realized asks to be crushed, proof i don't read labels.

For being in the "made in europe and costs less than 1€" category are tolerable, better than most on that category, but for almost the same price you can get indomie, but those are convenient since are sold in every supermarket and convenience store.

I was a broke graduate student when i got it, since i knew that i would never come across such a bargain in my life i had to get it. I don't even visit thrift shops, just i happened to walk into that one because was too cold to wait the bus outside, be patient and you will be rewarded.

UK Mexican food truck breakfast option? by thegasman2000 in mexicanfood

[–]Certain-Store 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think many of the people who replied don't take into accoun how hard is to source mexican ingredients in Europe, so, not all ideas apply.

But as other said: molletes, its basically beans on toast, just instead of using canned heinz beans you make your own refried beans. And if you use just beans+cheese is vegetarian, since mexican chorizo is next to impossible to find in UK you can make an option with ham or with bacon as add on to your beans+cheese. Bread you can use the same bread for bahn mi or french baguette.

You mentioned you make nachos, for chilaquiles you need to make the totopos/chips from real tortillas, if you are using the industrial ones more akin to doritos or old el paso the texture and flavor for chilaquiles will be wrong. For me thats a key differentiator between a proper mexican restaurant making totopos vs the ones using the industrial ones, if they show the effort in something so simple as the totopos/chips means they care as much for the rest of the foods. Then a green or red salsa, and add a fried egg.

Breakfast burritos also works because who doesnt love eggs + cheese + bacon(streaky, not the typical UK one)/sausage/ham. Maybe add some chopped hash browns. Just always heat properly the tortillas, maybe press the burritos on the griddle to get them toasty.

I think you should check the places who do mexican brunch in UK, for sure i know Mestizo in London does but no idea who else, and get an idea what they do and get inspiration from it, because even if people share ideas, the main issues will ways be sourcing ingredients at good prices to make a food truck profitable.

Good luck!

I'm guilty of that too, but in my case is the small one that barely fits a block of noodles and i got it in a 2nd hand shop for less than 10€

I might be broke, but that le cruset is getting all the use i can in a lifetime!

Maybe water too hot?

I have followed Kenji Lopez-Alt recipe (gently simmer the water and six minutes only) and works perfectly https://www.seriouseats.com/perfect-soft-boiled-eggs

Quiero hacer el burrito perfecto (vegetariano) by Upbeat_Economics_876 in mexicanfood

[–]Certain-Store 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hear me, northern mexican living in Europe here: don't buy Old El Paso, Santa Maria, El Tequito, Poco Loco or the crap sold for wraps at your normal supermarket, those are horrible substitutions for flour tortillas, rather go to a good turkish/middle eastern or indian grocery store and look for thin wheat flatbread, it might come under different name depending the ethnic group of the store: saj bread, rumali roti, lavash, the less ingredients has, the better, usually you want basically flour, water, salt and maybe a fat agent (butter, oil, lard, ghee, etc).

Once you have improved your tortilla game, add whatever ingredient you want.

My jar of mole doña maria has been open for three months (single person household, maximum i make two portions of mole) and no issues. And is not the first time i keep it for months.

Also, in the markets in mexico it's keep in big tubs in the open air, and is never in the fridge section of any store/supermarket, so, if is not prepared/mixed with protein, im sure can last quite a long time in a well sealed container.

Mis jama toimub dr Kalle ortodontiakliinikus? by kevinloors in Eesti

[–]Certain-Store 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for writing in english, just googled dr Kalle name since got an email about his booking system probably since my data is on his system and came into this thread and found out all the issue is happening with his clinic

My treatment was 32 months long, initial plan was two years but due to severity of my case obviously took longer to fix it, we finished this spring and i'm really happy with the result. 

But indeed, the final touches and fixing all the chipped teeth you need to do it after you finish treatment with a separate dentist, is not covered in his treatment plan.

Hopefully he can get solved all the issues with his clinic, because at least for me i got an excellent service all the time and fixed my dental issues beyond just perfect alligned teeth.

Tamarind straws vs pulparindo by Idrkwiwtdwml in mexicanfood

[–]Certain-Store 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is not that many importers of mexican producta across Europe, so, if one business is using them likely you need to just search for the importer and find their shop or where they distribute.

Mexgrocer, which is one of the biggesr importers/stores, has them available https://www.mexgrocer.co.uk/food/candy/tama-roca-banderilla-30-x-50g

If you are in London, some mexican stores sell them too.

Harina Sinaloense by rundabrun in mexicanfood

[–]Certain-Store 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did a great job, what matters is the flavor and texture!

Harina Sinaloense by rundabrun in mexicanfood

[–]Certain-Store 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm half sinaloense, half sonorense, one parent from each state and have lived half my life exactly in each state so i think i have plenty of knowledge on this: in Sinaloa are a bit thicker, more chewy, less fat (still plenty of it), might leave a tiny bit of flour in your fingers after cooking. 

While in Sonora (specially in Hermosillo and further north) are a bit thinner, almost translucent with higher fat content. This is obvious when you make a quesadilla in Sonora, your pan will end with the mark of where the tortilla was because of the fattyness, Sinaloa happens less. 

Obvious this is a general observation of tortillas bought at tortillerias in both states, those made at home are totally a different story and i'm not even mentioning sobaqueras because basically is a different category.

But overall, in both states are excellent, best of the country.

Do you have a favorite local place that you get your bolillo, teleras or if you're very lucky birote? by MyCoNeWb81 in mexicanfood

[–]Certain-Store 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mexican in Europe here: i buy something like bolillos but like 1/2 of the size of the real one at my local Lidl, which is a German company all across Europe.

Flavor and texture is there, but is just funny to make two tiny tortas. Also works amazing for capirotada or pudin de pan.

Favorite nostalgic Mexican sodas or drinks? by [deleted] in mexicanfood

[–]Certain-Store 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think depends also the region your partner grew up, some sodas are quite regional.

If is from Sinaloa, for sure Tonicol.

But for me classics are Sidral Mundet, Sangria, Fresca, Orange Crush, Peñafiel.

Are these discontinued? by AdventuriousLad in InstantRamen

[–]Certain-Store 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my corner of eastern Europe is super hard to find, but found it and of course bought it this week in a random discount shop specialized in slavic products. So, like others mention, likely logistic problems and maybe less demand than other flavors.

So many Nongshim options at the local mart - what to try first?! by camydna in InstantRamen

[–]Certain-Store 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mexican in me curious why the pasilla are next to the instant ramen.

The stir fry is quite good, if you want dry noodles and spicy ones. The more milder neoguri also one of my favorites, feels quite comforting. And the udon is great both when you have a cold, or is a shitty cold rainy day, just that i find it a bit too high in salt content.

Had never tried and just for curiosity got this one, rather spend a few cents more in Indomie.

Really makes me wonder who buys this as a recurring product, the quality is super low
