Stuffing.

Every Thanksgiving I eat stuffing and remember:

  1. This stuff is great
  2. There is nothing stopping me from making this year round

and then i immediately forget

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I love other people's stuffing. I made stuffing and gave myself food poisoning.

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer 7 points 1 year ago

When I make it rather than "mashed potatoes made of bread" it's more like "slightly moist croutons". Breaks my heart.

Pick up a box on sale and put it in the cupboard. It's a useful base for some chicken pieces, or to make some vegetables into a casserole. Excellent with mushrooms. (Take into account the liquid that will be released by the cooking veggies, or else saute them first, before mixing with the stuffing)

This year, instead of a whole bird, I made Turkey Balls using 2 lbs ground turkey, 2 raw eggs, stuffing mix, then sauteed onion, celery, apple, mushrooms, (let cool before adding) Chardonnay, and cool broth. I added the usual spices, keeping in mind there's already some in the stuffing. I piled them in a lidded casserole, but you can also bake them on a sheet pan and serve with dips.

I made a bunch of stuffing not on Thanksgiving a few years ago. Was addicted to it and kept making it. But then ate it too often I got tired of it. This always happens to me though. I get excited about some food. Then I make it until I get tired of it and move on to the next thing.

Perhaps a bit of a tangent: I'm pegnant and have been craving something all day but couldn't work out what I wanted. I tried pico de gallo, bacon, mango. No luck. Eventually I realised: it was tap water with ice. That's all I've wanted all day

[–] Waker 46 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Fruits. I don't have the habit of eating any fruit. It's super unhealthy and when I do remember to buy fruit when grocery shopping, I am always surprised how good it tastes, only to forget about it for a couple more months...

[–] Geek_King 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You and me both! Or I get into a fruit kick, then slow down after a bit, and what I have starts to go bad so I stop buying them all together.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Geek_King 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

No, we are legion. I'm sure oodles of people fall into this fruit trap.

Pulled pork. And then I wonder why I don't do it more often, and then remember that I prefer homemade one, and then I realise :::: spoiler ain't nobody got time for that :(

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Instapot, just as good, 90 minutes

[–] BrianTheeBiscuiteer 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Edible yes, but smoked is the way to go.

Unless you finish it in the oven, you won't get the Vital Crispies.

Someone who can do a "pull the pork apart" robot attachment for a crock pot could probably make a pile of money.

Although now I'm imagining a little robot treading in the crock pot like old timey winemaking, where they stomped on the grapes.

Brie. I never buy it on my own free will, but I am an absolute goblin when I see it at a party

Indian food mostly, but only because the best places are a drive away.

[–] IonAddis 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's your favorite Indian dish?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like a big bowl of Rogan Gosht with some chicken biryani (my wife's fav) and loads of naan. I'm not refined lol, just like that lamb and that chicken saffron yogurty stuff.

[–] IonAddis 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I frickin' love lamb dishes, and I get so grumpy that lamb/mutton is unpopular in the US, so it's hard to find. It's tasty!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I frickin’ love lamb dishes

If you ever get a chance, try goat curries. They will rock your world.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Goat is even harder to find in the US.

Cottage cheese. It just looks wrong, and there’s all different qualities of it like - no, I don’t want any . . . Oh well I’ll just have a small, tiny bite. Mmh. Not bad. Probably just a little salt here and . . Mmh. Mm hmm. Yeah. Oh. Oh! now I get the whole ‘cottage cheese’ thing . . Ooh pineapple you say . . Oh man okay yes. Yes, absolutely this is awesome. Must remember to get some more next time.

(Spoiler: does not remember to get more next time.)

[–] Mistymtn421 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Not a big fan of it myself, but the best snack ever is some kettle chips and cottage cheese as the dip. It looks weird/gross, yet every one who has tried it has loved it. I usually sprinkle some black pepper on it prior.

Sweet potatoes. So yummy, just baked with butter and salt. I'm not sure why we don't have them as a side more often.

[–] JusticeForPorygon 9 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I'm the exact opposite with sweet potatoes. I always forget that I don't like them. I want to like them so badly, I mean come on, bright orange mashed potatoes! But Everytime I try to eat one I just can't finish it. It's weird .

I like them with a little miso. Or miso butter. Damn, now I'm super hungry.

Green olives. None of my cooking use them as an ingredient, so once in a blue moon I remember that I like them, so I eat an entire jar with a toothpick.

So there's this amazing Chinese deli in San Francisco. We eat there like twice a year and every time we say we need to eat there more. It's not like we forget, it's just that we're busy. They were our main course Thursday. And then leftovers until yesterday. Godsdamn amazing char siu pork. Best I've ever had. I gotta order their bacon and their ribs next time.

I don't strictly forget about them, but I never think to buy them myself. Brussels sprouts.

[–] Siethron 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love egg nog, looked into how to make it. It's takes over an hour to make, so definitely won't get it out of season

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

dont forget to make it WAY before you need it- its not fun to try to power-chill hot fresh nog when guests will be there in an hour

[–] ettyblatant 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Get outta here with that Hot Fresh Nog!

Is my new favorite thing to say.

Idk what it's called but my wife makes this chicken and pasta that uses parm garlic sauce and its 10/10. I know my issue is we make it then I over eat it which results in me hating it for a while and then the cycle repeats

Just this year I would say:

  • salmon steak
  • unagi (vacuum sealed and frozen)
  • potato salad
  • dace with salted black bean (and canned fish in general)
  • banh mi
  • sweet and sour pork
  • deli cuts from the deli counter of the grocery store (been getting boar's head chipotle chicken breast)
  • roasted peanuts (honey, spicy or Japanese style)
  • melona

Eggnog. Probably best for my health that it's only readily available for a few weeks of the year. We make our own but still, we don't do that but til we're reminded it's eggnog season.

Spinach puffs. 20 minutes in the oven for a quick and dirty not unhealthy meal. It’s delicious. It’s filling. It’s relatively cheap…. And for some reason I only make it once a month despite having some laying around in my freezer pretty much at all times.
