Re veganism: if you used wine, it’s probably not vegan anyway, as most (especially white) wines use animal products in the fining process. Vegan wine from the US is often specially marked with something about fining or filtering, but it’s hard to tell in general.

It’s a type of chili sauce that’s basically hot red chile paste with garlic, some sort of onion/shallot, and I believe shrimp paste usually. Sometimes people also use tomato, and may cook some of the ingredients other than the shrimp paste as well. Also herbs and spices like lemongrass, ginger, etc depending on specific tastes. It’s supposed to be quite a bright flavor.

This may be an unpopular opinion, insofar as any opinion professing a favorite brand of instant ramen can be unpopular, but while shin black probably has the best broth, albeit by a fairly narrow margin, I think Nissin Gold has the best noodles and is the best overall.

Yes yes, I know, “death to the heretic” and all that.

I can confirm that it’s great.

my point still stands

It kinda doesn’t though. That is substantially bigger than even the biggest hot dog that I would consider a normal size. You have to really mean JUMBO for your comparison to make any sense, and at that point you can’t use the serving size conventions of hot dogs anymore.

Baltic bitch

I know this is “birch”, but it still made me laugh.

The recipe sounds good, and if I look through the visual artifacts, the result looks good too, but wow; that is a stupendously bad photograph.

sigh

That’s what she said…

Cinnamon, easily, though cumin is a close-ish second. I put cinnamon in my porridge, in chilli and dahl, on beans, over cornflakes, and so much more.

With some patience, I’m sure you could. Those things do get damn hot.

I think it’s just the olives. Suggesting olives on enchiladas 'round here would be liable to get you shot.

Well, I do like onion rolls.

Cream cheese? Does that belong in that list?

I’ve never roasted mushrooms, but that sounds delicious.

Something about this feels deeply Midwestern.

Because you don’t like either, or because you do like fresh cranberries and feel the green beans should have got the same attention?
