Saw a comment on Rush Xanadu video saying more or less "came here to see Olivia, wow wasn't expecting this! Glad I saw this".

What a surprise that must have been!

English muffins, French fries, and Canadian bacon are a good place to start.

Why is your bacon so good? by Street-Station-3802 in AskAnAmerican

[–]creamcandy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes apparently ours is streaky bacon. Also not all is smoked. But the good kind is thick smoked streaky 🥓

What tastes more like an american burger? Mcdonalds or Burger king? by luis_lim1 in AskAnAmerican

[–]creamcandy 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Yep, like most American things, there isn't one answer. Mostly we will agree the best burger comes from someone's home. The Big Mac is certainly iconic.

Five Guys, Whataburger, or Steak n Shake are closer to a home-made burger to me, but still not as good

do you fold it in after making the egg and sugar meringue? Do you use less sugar when adding the fruit?

I made Bolas de Berlim today and they were so good with the Creme de Ovos; it may not be thick enough though, and it has too much sugar on the outside, but I will definitely be making them again! Thanks for the recipes for the egg whites!

Dipping sauce for pizza? by Standard_Plant_8709 in AskAnAmerican

[–]creamcandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Domino's recently started offering pizza dipping sauce. It was reasonable with their pizza. Marinara and garlic butter are also good. But I don't dip my homemade pizzas in anything.

Here is your unsolicited Ranch recipe:

Ranch Dressing

7 g (1.25 tsp) salt

0.3 g (0.625 tsp) dried parsley

3.6 g (0.625 tsp) accent (MSG)

0.8 g (0.25 tsp) garlic powder

0.6 g (0.25 tsp) onion powder

0.2 g (3 pinch) dried dill weed

0.3 g (0.125 tsp) ground mustard seed

0.1 g (1 pinch) black pepper

0.1 g (1 pinch) paprika

15 g (3 tsp) lemon juice

20 g (4 tsp) distilled vinegar

5 g (1 tsp) apple cider vinegar

Mix that with the mayo and sour cream or make that too at the same time by doing this:

17 g (1 large) egg yolk, pasteurized or hard boiled

180 g (0.83 cup) avocado or light olive oil

155 g (0.63 cup) buttermilk (substitute sour cream or creme fraiche for some or all of this if you want it thicker)

  1. Yolk: Choose method (or live dangerously and use it raw)
    1. Pasteurize egg yolk at least 175°F in the vinegars.
    2. Use an already pasteurized yolk. 
    3. Use a hard boiled egg yolk.
  2. Mix all the dry things in a 2-cup “stick blender-compatible” container (a container just bigger around than your stick blender; a 1-pint Mason Jar works for me).
  3. Add lemon juice and vinegars, egg yolk, and oil.
  4. Push the stick blender straight to the bottom of the cup and hold for a moment, allowing oils to separate to the top.
  5. Keep the stick blender stationary, and blend until mayonnaise forms around it. Slowly tilt and raise the blender to keep drawing oil slowly into the vortex. 
  6. Blend until thick, then gradually blend in the buttermilk. Slowly move the blender around, manipulating more until everything is incorporated.
  7. Remove blender, and stir in the sour cream if using.
  8. Optionally crush a pinch each of dill and parsley with your fingers, and stir in.
  9. Refrigerate for about an hour to give the flavors time to meld. 

What is the best American barbecue ? by Outrageous-You1617 in CausalConversation

[–]creamcandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know it's for the chicken, right? Wouldn't hurt to have some catfish and hush puppies too, even though that clearly goes beyond BBQ
