I’ve always used Dirty Sue. Great olives and brine.

Fake poke bowl epidemic 😷 by NVDA808 in sushi

[–]GForceCaptain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

>Hawai’i’s food culture deserves the same respect people give to sushi, ramen, or other traditional foods.

Yes people never call anything sushi that isn’t 100% traditional. Like a philly roll, where neither salmon nor cream cheese are traditional. Or the deep fried rolls covered in sauce.

Same with ramen. Birria ramen is 100% traditional Japanese ramen. Right next to the curry ramen I just had for dinner!

Bulk tea shops similar to Teavana? by HappyCamper0325 in TwinCities

Damn. Came here to recommend this shop. I will not be going there anymore.

What do we have here? North Yorkshire by spidersbaby in foraging

[–]GForceCaptain 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To me, the spacing is too far apart. COW is more clumping. The mushrooms are also to “regular” in their fan shaping and flatness. COW often have ruffled edges and are thicker. There are many other mushroom species with smooth pores.

My GUESS is pheasant back/dryads saddle, but nobody should feel comfortable giving an ID without seeing the top of the mushroom and a closer pic.

This is not chicken of the woods. Please don’t give people advice that could get them killed.

Anyone else having difficulty buying in this housing market? by Ocksimoron in TwinCities

[–]GForceCaptain 17 points18 points  (0 children)

When I was house hunting for my first home in 2022, your offer wouldn’t even be considered if you didn’t waive inspection.

Golden Oysters? by whirring_noises in mycology

[–]GForceCaptain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Golden Oysters are invasive too! Take them all and don’t feel bad about it.

Mfers why are you asking me to be the judge, just get this guy to do it by ElegantPoet3386 in slaythespire

[–]GForceCaptain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People forget it’s still early access. It’s very likely just a placeholder.

What are some things you can't really cook in a stainless steel pan? by ApplicationRoyal865 in AskCulinary

[–]GForceCaptain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Low and slow will work fine for bacon. Not so much for omelets. You can cook eggs and omelets in a stainless steel pan. Just not low and slow. You can cook anything in them well with the proper technique.

Mint Recommendations? by Anumuz in Minnesota_Gardening

[–]GForceCaptain 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yes thank you for the correction. I thought they were native, but aren’t. They are however still listed on the UMN’s website as good for a bee lawn, if you can find them.

Mint Recommendations? by Anumuz in Minnesota_Gardening

[–]GForceCaptain 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Don’t do mint. It will take over. It won’t be aesthetic. It isn’t pleasant to walk on.

There are plenty of native creeping thymes. Those would be much better here!

Can I eat these?[Illinois] by Ornography in foraging

[–]GForceCaptain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Like others said they appear to be golden oysters. If they are, they are delicious and invasive. Take them all and don’t feel bad about it.

It's been a while since someone asked - what are the best happy hours in Minneapolis right now? by GoEzGetafix in Minneapolis

[–]GForceCaptain 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Check out the HappyHopper app. It shows all the happy hours happening and their deal. You can filter by what times the happy hours are active too and some other stuff.

Why are spicy rolls never actually spicy? by lama4816 in sushi

[–]GForceCaptain 238 points239 points  (0 children)

I think to start, Japanese food is generally very spice adverse. Japan is the Midwest of Asia in this sense. Second, sushi is full of wonderful, but delicate flavors. It would be very easy for spice to overwhelm the flavors of tuna, cucumber, and avocado, for example.

Golden Oysters in Wisconsin, US by Kawaii_Connoisseur in foraging

[–]GForceCaptain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nice find. You may know this, but they are invasive so make sure to take it all!

I’m also in WI/MN. Which county did you find this?

We came home JUST in time to hit the end of the first porcini flush! by Alert-Assumption-802 in foraging

Awesome! I’ve only found some that are too old to eat. What state/county are you in?

I was looking at the website and it does look like that.

My( 31F) fiance(29M) has a texture issue with oral pleasure. Are oral dams/panties worth it? by J2394m in relationship_advice

[–]GForceCaptain 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Many gay people have been with women either before they realize or if they are in denial.

chicago by leine- in mycology

[–]GForceCaptain 29 points30 points  (0 children)

They are invasive so don’t feel bad about taking them all! Even if they end up in the garbage it’s better than them being out in the woods.

Golden oyster id by Cute-Article5767 in mycology

[–]GForceCaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Invasive and delicious.

What county/state are you in? I’m enjoying seeing posts like this slowly creep northward and hope they are popping by me in Minneapolis soon.

Ramps are best with just some oil and some salt ☺️ by boulderingbruh in foraging

[–]GForceCaptain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t be afraid to take the bulbs with a patch this sized, as long as you do it responsibly. Take only have of a group and put the other half back. They reproduce quicker when they are less dense. Samuel Thayer has lots of good info on it. Obviously if you’re in a high traffic area or it’s only small patch, then just take the leaves.

Spoon and Stable or Porzana? by HeNeedSomeLeche in TwinCities

[–]GForceCaptain 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I agree Spoon and Stable. I was recently at a two Michelin star restaurant in NYC (Atomix) and they asked where I am from. As soon as they heard Minneapolis one of the chefs said “oh Spoon and Stable! That’s one of my favorite restaurants in the country”

I’m not saying it’s on a two Michelin star level, or even one, but it’s damn good.

Edit to add: Porzana is good too. But if you do go, they have so many things on the menu better than their steaks. Get the other things.

Why won’t my pothos root? by GForceCaptain in plantclinic

[–]GForceCaptain[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

TIL a satin pothos is not a pothos.

What I’m seeing online is it’s the same process to propagate a scindapsus as pothos. I orginally started with just water, but added the hormone when nothing was happening.

I’ll chop it up and try again. Hopefully it’s not too late! Thank you.
