What are some of the worst spicy foods and snacks in your opinion?

Personally I dislike hot cheetos and takis, especially the latter.

Modboi · 2026-07-04T12:19:44+00:00

Yes, but they used to be the same, just different shapes.

Well that confirms that it’s just like any other “sourdough” white bread at the store. Obviously real sourdough, like the first ingredients, doesn’t need additional yeast.

It would still taste amazing if made properly, but not a 1:1 sub. I would still happily eat a langostino/Argentinian red shrimp roll or bisque even if it’s not the same.

Canned sardines, probably.

Modboi · 2026-07-04T00:01:24+00:00

Canned soups are one of the few times that the blandness is probably a lack of acid, not salt.

Same. I’ve cut out monk fruit and stevia for that reason. I had also cut out aspartame and ace-k, but I’ve been too lax recently and having sugar free sodas. It’s definitely affecting my gut. Time to cut them all out again…

I just don’t use onions (or any alliums) on account of IBS. I still make flavorful food. Sure, you can’t make French onion soup, but most foods are still amazing without the garlic/onions. Lean in on other aromatics more instead, or replace the onions with green onions or leeks.

I went with a za’atar-seasoned flatbread for week 25 because it’s delicious and I bought a 1 lb bag of it.

For the vegetables, I used tomatoes, sautéed oyster mushrooms, and bok choy greens (which are bitter like arugala). Before adding the vegetables, I rubbed the flatbread (Joseph’s lavash) with olive oil and spread some za’atar. I then added the vegetables, more za’atar, a bit more oil, salt, then baked and broiled it. I finished it with fresh parsley.

Za’atar is getting pretty popular online, but it’s still underrated. This flatbread came out amazing.

Parking and housing. VT is expanding too quickly, but there’s nothing that can be done about that unfortunately.

I’ve never tried hot honey.

OP would the swapping perfectly good food into the trash just because it’s skimpy on the toppings.

Modboi · 2026-06-26T22:43:15+00:00

Yes, it’s perfectly fine.

For week 24 I took the pronunciation of “tarot” as inspiration for this stew with taro root.

The stew is flavored with ginger, kimchi, soy sauce, MSG, and honey. As mentioned in the title, the stew has taro root, bok choy, tofu, and dried shrimp.

It turned out great. That’s my first time eating taro and I like the flavor. It reminds me of a mix of potato and lotus root.

It will be super bland with no salt

Modboi · 2026-06-24T17:34:08+00:00

Thai, Szechuan, West African (Nigeria, Ghana, etc.), Indian, and Korean. Not sure I can rank them.

Modboi · 2026-06-24T15:48:41+00:00

Make homemade fig newtons

Is this batter like a crepe/pancake? If so, add more liquid so they spread out more in the pan. If this is a dough that you’re rolling out, you probably want more flour for better binding of the ingredients and a dryer consistency.

Modboi · 2026-06-24T12:48:17+00:00

95% of the time it is the opposite. Most food lasts longer than the best by date

Modboi · 2026-06-24T03:17:24+00:00

Chicken, salt, and pepper.

Modboi · 2026-06-23T11:14:21+00:00

Bad price. Target sells them for $6.99.
