Food

The general catch all for food discussion and another reminder that Pizza is an option. 

 

Recently I have been binging a lot of cooking related YT (mostly Sortedfood) and on one video they put a soft boiled egg onto pizza. I was like, huh, that's odd. 

 

So after learning how to consistently cook a soft boiled egg,  I got my chance to try it today. We cooked a frozen pizza for dinner and while it was cooking I made the eggs (Desi wanted nothing to do with this madness). When the pizza was done I cut the eggs in half, seasoned them and placed them on my slices in such a way that when I folded them it would hold the eggs. 

 

Holy shit was is delicious. It went from a passable pizza into something genuinely memorable. I cannot wait to try this on some quality pizza.

 

PS: for those who know their eggs, I used the 8 minute soft boiled, not the 6.

There's a place here that makes breakfast pizza with eggs on it.  It's pretty damn good.

 

I've been trying to think of the name of these forever and @Anelle finally told me what they are:

Totes making these for dinner soon.  They're so good.  Gonna maybe do pesto with bacon or chicken.

[Tassifox 413]

Oooo those look amazing (pizza spirals not the egg on pizza. just no)

I just saw that Heinz is adding Cadbury egg cream into their mayo for an easter version of their product. WTF WHY!?

[Galeigh 283]

Don't knock the egg pizza til you try it

[Tassifox 413]

Nope. Eggs are only good for being scrambled or in baked goods. Sorry I've just never liked it any other way.

[Galeigh 283]

Wow, never seen anyone in the middle road when it comes to eggs before. It's usually a love or hate thing. 

[Tassifox 413]

I really have tried, not a fan of the yolk with fried eggs. not a fan of boiled (hard or soft) ((giggity)) only other times I'm fine with it is when it's in egg drop soups or fried rice because SURPRISE it's mostly strings of scrambled eggs. You're guess is as good as mine with that.

[webhead 518]

Huh you don't like yolk.  That odd.  That's the rich part that people generally like the most.  Like when you have it on a burger and it bursts out all over the burger.  Messy but yum. 

[Downshift 54]

I fucking hate runny yolk. Might as well be eating a raw egg.

Always cook it to be solid like the whites.

[Galeigh 283]

To each their own. I love a runny yolk egg

[Stinkfist 33]

Have you guys tried these new peanut reese's pieces?  Amazing.  I thought reese's was already perfect, but it turns out the ratio of peanut to chocolate was all wrong.

[Olly 39]

fully-cooked egg yolk: D- food, tastes like sulfur chalk. Devil it or gtfo
fully-cooked egg white: C+  

scrambled: B-range, depending on how overcooked it is
Runny yolk over toast: Solid A-

Runny white: no.

[Downshift 54]

I've never had sulfur chalk before so I wouldn't know.

[oneeight 35]

Eggs in any state are perfect, especially when you get a nice orange yolk

Throw some curry powder, black pepper, and turmeric on there, cook sunny side up til the bottom goes crispy.  On some toast with coriander on top

Or dipping sukiyaki bits into raw egg

Or eggnog

Or pickled

 

 

 

I just... I fucking love eggs

It took me a good few tries when I was making Jovanna breakfast in the morning to nail the scrambled eggs that weren't all overcooked and gross.  Most people overcook the fuck out of them.  I sort of did the Gordon Ramsey thing but then pretty much just shortened it down to, cook on a lower heat and take them off before they look done.  Works pretty good.  Holy shit are they good when they're cooked right.

[Hornet 114]

Tried making this; eyeballed it wrong and while eating it knew it could be better, but it was still very very good!

(Hey, it embedded, awesome!)

 

What's the consensus on non-chicken eggs? For me; duck no, quail hell yes.

I have not. I’ll have to try. But I doubt it can be better than the peanut butter M&M

That looks very similar to a southwest kind of thing.  Looks yummy.

Not just the PB. One time M&M made a PBJ one and....It was okay? Anyone else I had tried either hated them or liked them. Now there's a jalepeno one, english toffee, and thai coconut flavor out right now.

[Stinkfist 33]

Imo, nowbody does peanut butter like reese's.   I would kill for these things.

[webhead 518]

Peanut butter M&Ms are actually delicious as fuck.  Reese's are definitely fucking awesome though.  I'd pick PB M&Ms every time over Reese's pieces though.  Reese's ones like...don't taste right.  Ironically the M&M version tastes closer to a Reese's.

[Stinkfist 33]

I'm telling you... try the peanut reese's.  It's a revelation. 

[webhead 518]

These?

[Eizan 126]

No, I think he's talking about the new Peanut Butter Lovers Reese's. 

 

It has a layer of PB on the top. I haven't seen them here yet though. 

[Stinkfist 33]

Nono.  Nono.

 

You guys probably dont have it in the states.  For some reason canada is ahead of the curve on junk food.

[Galeigh 283]

This is you now Stinkfist:

Oh no, I haven't seen those either. 

[Tassifox 413]

Same here and I work in a grocery store. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled on that.

Although a customer got me addicted to NERDS Chewys. It's like having their taffy NERDS rope but in little bite form.

[Jane 100]

We're putting okra in one of our home-cooked curries for the first time (along with red/orange peppers, baby aubergine, spinch, leftover broccoli/beans and some paneer). Will see how it turns out.

[Jane 100]

Update: It was good! And felt very virtuous (apart from the heap of supermarket naan on the side). Looking forward to eating the rest tonight.

...as someone with very very mild trypophobia the okra kind of weirded/squicked me out when I was chopping it, though.

[dr. b 486]

I like okra but we for some reason don't cook with it very often. It's sometimes tricky because it can get so slimy if you don't do it right

[Tassifox 413]

So my room mate and I went to one of our usual joints. (Dunno if there's a Hop Jacks aka now Hops n Drops in your states) and I tried the chicken fingers for the first time. Holy fuck that shit was GOOD! Seasoning was perfect and the meat was juicy af!

[webhead 518]

Had enchiladas with mole today.  Holy shit that was some good mole.  The actual short rib inside the enchilada was kinda disappointing though.  Not like...enough.

[Tassifox 413]

I hate when there's not enough meat in meals. I know meats pricey nowadays but seriously unless it's a street taco LAY ON THE MEAT

[webhead 518]

For as much as the meal cost, they should have given me the entire god damn short rib.

[Tassifox 413]

THAT PISSES ME OFF EVEN MORE.

[Hornet 114]

Decided to share photos of last effortfood I photographed.

 

 

 

 

geddit it's a big mac

[Tassifox 413]

In my mouth please!

With relish?

 

Actually she seemed kinda bored. 

[Tassifox 413]

Hell no to the relish.

[oneeight 35]

Found these delicious fishies at the newly expanded Polish grocery up the road.  We just ate em like that, but you could add sour cream and chopped onion

 

[Tassifox 413]

Didn't have to worry about the little bones or anything?

[Galeigh 283]

So, I found a YT channel that teaches you how to cook chinese take out recipes at home. 

 

Might be trying to make some soon

[Tassifox 413]

YUM YAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

[Tassifox 413]

So before my friend and I went to go see Avengers we had enough time to try out the sushi burrito place that opened up in the food court at the mall in her area. OMG SO FUCKING GOOD!
