A hardware shop (that sells sausages in bread - it's a thing here) decided to put the onions on the bottom of the sausage.
People were outraged. The Prime Minister was asked to comment and bring back the onions on the top. People wrote angry comments. Families were divided. It was a troubled time for us.
It's just so much easier keeping the topping in place under the sausage, on top it keeps falling off and running down my hand 🙈😅 especially with kids...
That's because that sub is populated by a bunch of canadians that onow jack shit about poutine (and the culture surrounding it) roleplaying as Québecois
I'm in Saskatchewan, and some of our local restaurants definitely deserve to be featured on that sub. But pulled pork on poutine is like a match made in heaven. So if that's controversial, oh well lol
Watched my wife do this in front of my very old school Italian mother. Wife was not allowed to help cook meals for about ten years. She just regained the privilege this past Christmas.
Italian-Americans worshiping the old country and thinking their nonna represents all of modern Italy.
I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of Italians under the age of 30 would be willing to try a crispy pizza with prosciutto and pineapple on it. Call it a flatbread if it hurts your national pride or something, but savory-salty-sweet is a flavor combo across all time and cultures lol so anyone arguing that it's gross is arguing in bad faith
Funny how the "keep the food traditional" folks never want to take it back to pre-tomato lol. It's not that long ago either. The waves of Italian immigrants bringing tomato dishes to the US in the late 1800s and early 1900s would have only been like the 3rd generation in their family to have access to the crop.
was just at a restaurant in Vero Beach that had skirt steak on special and in the description was that it would only be served, medium rare.
One of the family mentioned that they were ordering it strictly because of the aggressive nature of the restaurant regarding this. I ordered it as well.
Surprising absolutely no one, the Irish in a discussion about cooking crimes, decided to talk about beer. And honestly this is the only one I hav gotten mad at people for doing so far.
oh that's a crime... my in laws just pour the kilkenny STRAIGHT TO THE BOTTOM, so like half the glass is foam... and they use those fancy ''flute'' glasses, you know the ones you'd use for light white wheat beers that have almost no foam?
to me, it's criminal. i'm not Irish, but i've learned to love beer (and craft beer) with a Boston Irish, in Montreal Irish pubs... Funny story, i brought a friend to an Irish pub (Hurley's in Montreal, look it up) and the guy (had lived in Liverpool for a couple years) ordered a Black n tan. in an Irish Pub.
So we finished our evening at another joint. He was oblivious to the historical weight of it and that ended up a long conversation we had to have...
Oof yeah that's a big no no. Even for it to be on a menu would anger me. Looked up the menu and it's still there today, that's truly shocking. Glad you took your custom elsewhere. You're an honorary irish person.
well now it's on the menu as a half & half, which is fine by me... i still do them at home with Kilkenny and Harp. like 200m away there's the Irish Embassy Pub, also pretty good. But Hurley's has two band stages with different bands on most nights...
I usually go there during world cups to watch the England teams, the pub usually roots for the team that plays against England.
When my father brougght me out for my first pint at 17 years old, I was about to take a sip as soon as it landed in front of me. My father shouted, "What on earth do you think you're doing?!".
I’ve lost count of how many times Spanish restaurants cook carbonara in the grossest possible ways so I will never stop putting chorizo in paella as revenge.
Chilean completos can have all the condiments you want. However, the first three (tomato, avocado, and mayonnaise), must go in that strict order, no matter what. If you want to ommit one, you HAVE to still follow that order. Tomato and then mayonnaise, or avocado and mayonnaise, for example.
Other than that, it's an abomination.
And i forgot something else: If you dare to "cook" the bread through steam to make them feel wet, you'll gonna embarass your whole city.
Some people put mayo inside the bread before the sausage to soak the bread too. But you still have to respect the order of the above ingredients, you can add more mayo at the top if you want (but that would be a caloric bomb, but it's not what we're talking about hehe).
That being said, here it gets even funnier because we have word Čaj (which is word to describe any tea, herbal or fruit infusion) and recently Chai (which describes specific Indian way of brewing black tea with spices and milk). They are pronounced exactly the same.
Pineapple on pizza is something people hate on because the internet has told them to.
Wild how in the world of charcuterie we mix sweet fruit with meat cheese and bread and that’s considered amazing - sweet, savory, salty, different textures. Then as soon as you slap it on a pizza though people act like it doesn’t make sense.🤷🏼♂️
Am i a pineapple on pizza Stan? Absolutely. Try with some jalapeños. 👌🏻
The go to answer for a lot of Canadians here will be “shredded cheese on poutine”
But if we’re being honest, shredded cheese on poutine is extremely common across Canada because poutine is a regional dish dependent on the availability of fresh cheese curds, which are not all that common outside of some larger cities in eastern Canada
It looks like those old 60s cookbooks where everything was like weird jello molds with fish and hot dogs and spam other insane ways of mixing the 12 ingredients sold at grocery stores back in those days.
I think on the whole, Americans are pretty chill about our cuisine in comparison to other countries.
HOWEVER.
I still remember the uproar when Great British Bake Off attempted s'mores.
For those unaware, s'mores are junky, nostalgic campfire food and they're made with graham crackers (close to a digestive biscuit but not quite) chocolate BARS that are supposed to melt from the fire (i.e. NOT GANACHE which is already soft) and it's made with marshmallows, not Italian meringue.
I am not saying that GBBO should have used Hershey's for a high end baking challenge, but they could have kept the integrity of the dessert by challenging them to make graham crackers and marshmallows from scratch. There was absolutely no need to change the ingredients.
Some people in Norway would probably get a bit moody if you put ketchup on certain things, especially if the food was home made and properly made. Some raise their eyebrows over ketchup on fish as well.
All in all, I've done so much different things when it comes to food, and it was mostly alright (to me).
One example is that I bought the equivalent to Christmas ribs in the middle of the Summer (some store makes ready to go ribs every single day they are open), which I had BBQ sauce and habanero peppers with. I can't remember if I had potatos or potato boats with it.
For the actual picture posted above, I really dislike the look of that pineapple.
Poutine is fries, gravy, and cheese curds. TBF mozza and curds have a similar flavour profile but the texture is completely different!
Mozza melts into a softer more stringy form whereas curds maintain a level of density that gives it a squeaky texture on teeth which can almost instantly tell them apart. This is also why one of the big brands selling curds for either poutine or snacking is called Squeakers.
Using mozza in poutine therefore is akin to over boiling pasta… it just doesn’t hit the same.
A few years ago the New York Times published a recipe for vegan jambalaya.
I wish to formally apologize to my Louisiana brethren for putting the words "vegan" and "jambalaya" in the same sentence. Please don't feed me to the alligators.
I went through the rabbit hole of "vegan" soul food and "vegan" southern cooking a couple of years back. I wish that Men in Black flash device which erased memories was real.
Being half-Dutch, half-Finnish, I'd say dutch food is just mashed together or deepfried random shit that can't really be sinned for more than it already is.
As a fin though, I'm astounded dutch barely know salted butter. Putting unsalted butter on anything feels super wrong
