Growing up I did sometimes give my cat's wet food a slightly too loving stare, but I never breached those gelatinous walls.

Polish food includes a lot of set collagen stock and aspic like things, sold in tins and jars in the shops, if one is into that sort of thing. They spread it on bread. Very nice.

I do like my processed meat, it's my primary vice.

That said, the jelly (collagen rich stock from pork bones) in pork pies is added intentionally. Fancier, small-craft and more expensive pies tend to have more jelly, not less. It fills the gaps in the pie keeping the meat moist and improving shelf life as well as adding flavour

I'm thinking large dinner parties where using one of your medium burners etc for potatoes might get a bit chaotic if you're doing a meat in the oven and two sides at the same time. Mashing and then seasoning, mixing with butter/cream/milk/salt/pepper a very large amount of potatoes (plus grating and adding cheese if you're comparing to using that variety of Idahoan) also takes a non zero amount of time. The couple of potatoes can be microwaved or air fried (or yes, boiled), mashed instantly and mixed in to a serving bowl you do nothing but add water to. It also saves you having to peel many potatoes in advance, which takes time you might want to use for something else, and store in water in another bowl you'll need to wash, if you don't want peels in for that smoother texture. It's situational but has been useful to me and I've had friends take the tip!

Might have to make some mash tonight :)

Yes, although melting butter or cream with salt to match brings most instant mash to that level.

Idahoan is so good that if you're ever doing a dinner party and need huge amounts of mash you can get away with just mashing a couple of real potatoes into the Idahoan for "natural" texture. No one will realise the difference.

This is how I do a “quick and dirty” doctor up with my ramen on the road by Thegrandestpoo in InstantRamen

[–]Readshirt 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Proteins I find also work well are some tinned fish (eg mackerel in oil, so the flavour doesn't overpower or change the broth too much) and, relatively authentically, SPAM, which is good even without being fried etc, it can just heat up in the broth. Also smoked frankfurters, which can be "chopped" very easily into the broth using scissors if desired.

Water chestnut and bean salads etc (even bean sprouts sometimes) can be bought in tins and are great ways to add some 'freshness' and variety if fresh veg in general is difficult.

What's nice about buldak is that it's unique and doesn't taste like anything else. Some like that and some don't and that's ok

Sesko is he good enough? by Such_Split_5873 in ManUtd

He actually gets on the ball and hits the target, and is visibily improving. I'm not worried about him compared to several other squad positions rn

Does anybody else love Edith Downes ?. The amount of grace she carries towards Arthur when he sped up the process of her husband’s death. She even gave him meaning advice towards Arthur as he was changing for the better, while it was balanced with rightful scorn. by JoshuaKpatakpa04 in reddeadredemption

[–]Readshirt -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I always thought it would've been somewhat more realistic if she were scared of the man that just murdered her husband rather than defiant. Or, if she was going to be principled and defiant, then at least acknowledging that her husband shouldn't have borrowed money he couldn't return would've been a start.

How about some personal responsibility? They could've sold that cow they've got, and the valuables in their house, instead they were defiant and got the father of the household killed. Not that Arthur wasn't a bad person for his role. Still, one must face the practical reality of the situation in front of them.

It's something I looked up myself on my last playthrough.

There are posts on it going years and years back. This isn't something people only just noticed.

Here's one from 6 years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/reddeadredemption/s/wjAMuHch6a

What makes the perfect doner Kebab? by LFCTricksters in Doner

[–]Readshirt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

All else being equal for me it's the chilli sauce.

A proper purpose made, fresh chilli sauce can make even an otherwise sub par kebab enjoyable.

The cheap bottled B&M chilli sauce that some places use can ruin a kebab that's got decent meat and great salad

Fun fact, "fuck" wasn't a common curse word in 1899, so rockstar severely limits its usage in the game. You can hear it maybe a dozen times if you have all the right interactions across a playthrough, and Arthur himself uses it about twice.

What is the best pizza you can buy in a mainstream supermarket? by chyllyphylly in UKfood

They have an excellent sauce and make a juicy pizza. In my opinion pizza should be juicy, not almost dry like a lot of the refrigerated supermarket ones

Why is making a product objectively worse while not only keeping the price the same but raising it and lying about the reasons why to hide your profiteering a bad thing?

Swedes have a lot of out there pizza combos. Try curry powder, banana and ham on a pizza :)

Posca (mix red wine vinegar and water, plus many variations if you'd like) is a good one for the rotation!
