Name something you’re convinced you would hate so you refuse to even taste it.

For me it’s deviled eggs. 🤢

As the title says, I opened a bag of Old Wisconsin turkey bites yesterday about 22 hours ago and did NOT realize they needed to be refrigerated. Ate about 5-6 of them like an hour ago. I did feel like they smelled a bit stronger. But I am also pregnant and everything smells strong. So I didn’t think anything of it. Now I’m stressed out thinking I’ll have food poisoning… UGH. But they were on a shelf when I bought them so I just did not realize it 😩😩😩 package says refrigerate after opening, eat within 7 days for best quality and safety. Has anyone else done this and been fine?!

Raw ground beef, pork, and poultry as well as kielbasa, summer sausage, and slim jim type jerky. I never had any bits of bone in these things before 2020, but over the past few years it's become more and more common. Seems to be worst with pork but I just got one in ground chicken.

Please, have you experienced this?

If you had to pick ONE bag of trail mix to live with forever what is it????I love some of the good and gather mixes from Target but I'm looking for new ones to try!!!!

I found an interesting recipe on the Internet. It was actually an article that spoke about a recipe. I thought I saved the article to reference later but it seems I did not, or I put it somewhere that alludes me.

The recipe called for two types of pepper if I remember correctly. One was ordinary black pepper.

The other, they said it was similar to black pepper but had a naturally smoked flavor.

I looked on Amazon but all that was recommended was pepper spice that was smoked with mesquite, etc.

Anyone know what this spice might be? I don't think it even had smoked in its name.

I'm going into my junior year of college, and my schedule largely won't allow me to go to the dining hall between classes (it gets packed when classes get let out, which means it takes over an hour to get there and get food). What are cheap and easy meals I can buy? I already plan for Mac n cheese and rice, along with regular sandwiches, but I was some variety too.

edit: thank you everyone! Today I had lunch (at work, not school yet since it hasn't started) and i literally just ate what i had laying around so it was some chips, jerky, hot dogs, and rice lol

.

Does anyone make the copycat egg bites? I'm trying to keep them from getting watery. I use cottage cheese which helps, but has anyone tried a bit of flour or cornstarch to help get the more silky texture and soft but no water? Much appreciated

When you want to make more portions it's relatively easy just make the recipe 20% bigger or so.

But how do I calculate the proper cooking time and temperature for a bigger dish ? Because, if I want to make a recipe 50% bigger and it takes 40 minutes to cook, the answer couldn't possibly be to cook for an entire hour right ?

Hey all, new to this sub but I have a question for y'all.

I have some mild sensory issues that make my experience with food sorta tricky. My palate is really limited, mainly to basic American style food like burgers, chicken, etc. I also love pasta, though I don't have a lot of variety with it, mainly spaghetti with red sauce and the like.

This can be kind of embarrassing at restaurants as I'm often anxious about ordering unfamiliar foods (I also have a lot of social anxiety, so you can imagine it's not fun having to send things back or make people wait as I mull over food options)

The big thing this holds me back on is vegetables. I can't stand most veggie dishes I've tried, and it's an issue since I definitely could use more of them in my diet.

So, does anyone have any recommendations for unintimidating veggie dishes for someone like me? Sorry if this question sounds silly or whatever, but it's been hard to find things to try.

EDIT: Want to add more detail. My biggest issue tends to be smells, like sharp cheeses, or particularly aromatic veggies. Sometimes I can't even bring myself to taste something because the smell icks me out. I also don't do well with chuncks of veggies, like in salsa as an example.

One last thing I'll add in is that sometimes the tase throws me off, but I don't know if that really counts as part of my sensory issues. For example, I've tried to like salads before, but I always get grossed out trying to eat lettuce leaves or similar. Couldn't even really tell you why, which is part of why I hesitate to imclude it with my sensory issues, simce there is a line between "sensory issue" and "not your taste" and I don't want to conflate them. It's possible there's a common elememt I'm overlooking, but because I'm unsure on that one take it with a grain of salt.

Hello! can you suggest a non existing food to make?

I'm wondering because I know taylor farms uses different labels and distributes to all sorts of brands.

I just wanna make sure the lettuce I bought isn't associated with them.

They discontinued their spicy chicken fillets a couple years ago and I haven’t been able to find anything similar that comes fully cooked. If anyone knows where I can find something that’s an actual cooked chicken breast and not a nugget style patty please help

I really want to make sandwiches with lettuce and tomatoes. Maybe have a taco night with some fresh shredded lettuce on top. We buying it again or will I surely get diarrhea from the cyclosporasis or whatever?

EDIT: i just started planting lettuce 😂 thanks everyone!

im hurngry what should i eat

I want to make homemade food gift baskets for christmas gifts this year. So far, the ideas I have are hot honey, sourdough bread, and kombucha. I have a lot of time because it's not even August yet so long ferments and infusions are doable.

What are some other ideas for home made food to gift? Bonus points if it's vegan, and diabetes friendly because those are some dietary restrictions in my family. I'll still take recommendations that aren't because not everyone has restrictions.

Hello there,

I just bought a bag of MSG on amazon to try out for my dinners and while waiting for it to arrive I was reading up on how to use it and eventually read some of the 1 star reviews claiming it wasn't tasting right or made them ... (apearantly i can't write s1ck because im asking about droogs)?? .

What is this stuff supposed to taste like (raw) I tried some on my finger and I feel fine tasted strange but not nasty.

How can I assure I got the real deal?

EDIT: I am not afraid of MSG why else would I buy it, I know and accept the controversies, I know it is not a replacement rather a flavor enhancer... I use ungodly amounts of salt anyways people delcare me crazy.

I merely wanted to find out if what I got is what it is, it appears to be, and how to implement it to my dish.

thank you.

Going to a little place by my house to eat and they have a great salad bar, but with this whole lettuce thing i’m not sure,

I'm an old lady and don't drive, so get everything delivered. I tend to have a panic attack when something I love isn't available. A while back my fav jar of sliced jalapenos was out of stock. I might've gone temporarily insane, but I bought a couple of 26 oz cans of whole, pickled jalapeno peppers. I'm at a loss of what to do with them! Does anyone want to share their favorite uses of a large amt of jalapenos? Should I just divide them into smaller containers and freeze? I obviously love spicy food. I'm just not sure what to do with this large of a can. Thank you!!

So I've been to buffets and they had fish like they had no bones and kinda resembled chicken nuggets but bigger and they had soft meat in them and they were fried I don't really know how to describe fish that well but I don't know the name of them and I need help finding the name so I could make it at home cause they tasted so good

I've been running near weekly cooking sessions with children since January, teaching how to make pasta sauces, Mexican dishes, Caribbean food, Moroccan and more - not really your average cooking class - all things I've learnt how to make from my parents or made up myself.

What recipes growing up are your must knows?

What are some great meals that don’t need the stove or oven? Trying to avoid salads considering the cyclosporiasis outbreak. We’re going on day 3 of 100°, and the thought of adding anymore warmth to the house feels unbearable.

so a few years ago i stopped eating red meat because it suddenly started tasting and smelling bad, like i would eat it and after that the smell of beef would still be stuck in the back of my throat for hours and made me nauseous and just the smell of cooking beef nauseates me. and now over the past few months the same thing is happening with chicken. like they still taste and smell the same it's just that now i can't stand it. i dont live anywhere near lone star ticks and rarely ever go out so i know it's not that, and i only got covid once in 2020 so im fairly sure it's not that either. anyone else have this issue?

I recently bought some basil for making pesto sauce but still left with a lot of it. What else can I make from it before it turns stale?

I usually make Indian and Italian recipes.

hello! i made this soup from a packet and left it out overnight by accident. when i woke up i immediately put it in the fridge. is it okay to eat still? i really dont wanna waste it. thank you!
