Ingredients of the week: Mushrooms,Cranberries, Brassica, Beetroot, Potatoes, Cabbage, Carrots, Nutritional Yeast, Miso, Buckwheat
Cuisine of the month:
Boiled pearl onions, a shitty bechamel, and bagged pre-grated cheese, obviously.
You could make s better version of this with the same damn ingredients. Do like fried onions au gratin with bechemel or something. It's not great but it's not otherworldly. I will kill anyone who boils an onion.
Or roast them like brussel sprouts, but no we're boiling them!
I'm surprised the recipe doesn't call for frozen ones lol
My theory is that if you remove the contributions of poc from American cuisine, it'd be seen on the same tier as British "food". The only people propping white American food would be the Italians and Greeks but even they weren't considered white when they arrived.
What the fuck is half and half?
It's between cream and milk - usually used for people to put in coffee. IDK why anyone would cook with it.
It's used in recipes that need a lot of fat, but less than whipping cream.
IDK why anyone uses it for coffee.
IDK why anyone uses it for coffee.
s do it and often with an artificial sugar substitute lol
I've tried it, adding 2 more shots of espresso barely made it drinkable.
I have a relative that makes her coffee like 50% half and half, she buys several of the large containers at a time.
Mixes better than cream. More flavor/fat than milk.
It's a white people thing. I didn't know it was strange until I left my parents house lol.
when the flavor profile is: fat
"I put a roux on onions and call it a recipe
"
Half-and-half is half whole milk and half heavy cream mixed together. The name of it sounded really synthetic so I never wanted it until I found out what it was, and even then I would just buy whole milk and cream separately.
chip in $5
incumbent senator in safe seat needs YOUR lunch money
Imagine being however many decades old Tim's mum is, and still not knowing how to cook.
Making a shitty bechamel is ahead of the curve tbh. Lots of Americans would just use processed Velveeta cheese.
"You'll cream over these creamed onions. I know I did."
Anyone cooking creamed vegetables with half and half does not deserve your funding, vote, or sympathy. Death to America.
Impressive that it contains no Cream of Whatever soup
It's basically a recipe for cream of onion ~~soup~~ casserole.
This is what the "serious people" are up to.
Sorry to spam in here, but I'd be okay with a dish brimming with onions, smothered in bechemel and cheese. But this?! this isn't just sad, this is [Great] Depression.
Same
Yes, Tim Kaine, I do want you to shut the fuck up about creamed onion.
"Grated cheese" irks me. There are multiple kinds of cheese. Even if we're going by packs of pre-shredded cheese, there are multiple kinds of those, and not even at the grocery stores where Tim Kaine shops, but at the grocery stores where Tim Kaine voters shop, too. Cheddar, mozz, jack, what is it?
Half and half is that bullshit "for cooking" diluted cream they are selling these days.
He's just excited anyone's paying any attention to him
its onion and cream? the fuck kind of dish is that? please, white people, i am begging you, use seasonings.
It has butter and cheese, that's as spicy as we can tolerate (but seriously wtf, not even salt or pepper?)
It does say salt the sauce and to boil the onions in salted water, but yeah no mention of pepper.
Boiled onions? What the fuck? The recipe doesnt even say to chop them, so he's just eating whole boiled onions covered in cream? Send this man to hell immediately
I like whole marinated/pickled pearl onions
Tho I'm a kkkrakkker too
pickled onions go hard
embrace fish and chip shop thought
There thensize of olives chopping them would be a massive pain in the ass.
Also this recipe is awesome you just have to use a decent cheddar instead of whatever kraft single bullshit is going on here.
The other
The man is from the Midwest. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has been there and ate the food.
The actual fuck is this recipe? I would Gordon Ramsay this guy so hard. There is too much the matter with this. Who boils an onion?
Well, my family for example
I always think of Tim Caine the guy who made Fallout when I read Tim Kaine
I'm....gonna be honest about this, I kind of want to try this out.
That's depressing. I'll cook you an meal that's good
I'll tell you what. If I cream some onions, I ain't eating them.
Credit where credit is due: you can tell that this is an authentic family recipe instead of some intern making it up, because this recipe sucks.
e: here's a better recipe I just made up on the spot:
-
Cut some whole ass onions in half.
-
Toss with oil, salt, and pepper.
-
Throw in an oven for half an hour at 200C.
Tastes great as-is for a side dish. Make a bechamel and toss them in that if you want to get on the Kaine Paine Traine, I guess.
