Cooking questions.. sorry having a chili cookoff today got my mind in the gutter.

Comments

  • I can cook pretty good. My wife is the one that cooks chili, it's awesome. Taco Bell farts are horrible and now you got me wanting Krystals. Would love to be in a chili cookoff or a gumbo cook off.
  • My wife and I are both good cooks, and try to do so as much as we can. Now that my kitchen is operational again (after a 6-7 month DIY renovation) we should be able to get back into it.



    Making good chili is all about using good ingredients. Strip steak, beef tips, or pork roast always win over ground meat.



    By "worst farts" I'm assuming you mean worst smell, rather than worst intensity. Taco Bell can be pretty bad, but chili always produces more volume. The WORST is eating at some Asian/Indian restaurants. I love the food, but one of the spices always gets me. I think it's the type of ginger they use. You start sweating on the way home and by the time you reach the toilet your ass opens like an elevator door.

    That's freakin awesome!

    I can make a couple things.  My "Shit on a Shingle" is the best!

    LMAO! I like when the wife makes Chili. Not only is it good but but I get to stink her out of the bedroom the same night.  " Never again" she says. Fun times all around.
  • I love to cook, esp griling. I don't make chili very often so I am not very good at it. Krystal farts are by far the worst, esp if you get the chili cheese fries!

    ~~NGD
  • Turkey farts are the worst for me. Actually, they don't smell all that bad, but I can't stop myself from letting them rip the whole day after I eat turkey.
  • Krystal farts are great. I eat lots of crystals, they make my dookie twinkle. The only thing worse than any of the farts mentioned are the White Castle farts. Oh boy, those are rough, lemme tell ya.
  • Aren't White Castle and Krystal basically the same thing? Crumby little meat patties of exceptionally low quality on Hawaiian king rolls?
  • arch, they are a little different, but basically the same thing..



    Greasy meat + greasy bun = gas and dookie pains later
  • I do cook and I do it pretty well. When I get married it should be decreased though - she's better.



    I make really good chili (tips - jalapenos are a must and adding corn to it adds a great flavor)



    Never competed, I just eat it.
  • oh, and the worst farts are White Castle farts if anyone here knows what that is. They could wipe out city blocks...
  • Yes I cook, and I cook good. I don't make good chili, but it's the worst farts.



    I really want to enter a cooking contest someday. I love making non sweet foods sweet by like adding honey or something to a sausage. It's really good when it's cooked in.
  • well guys I won a Home Depot giftcard for $50 for my chili...

    Apparently I didn't get the Krystal reference.  But, arch, white castle has the most pure beef in any patty of all the major fast food chains.  There is a white castle off interstate 65 somewhere in the middle of Indiana.  Every year when I go to the Indy 500, I make a point to stop at this particular white castle.  because the white castle processing plant (where all the food is made) is only about 100 yards away.  It is the best little burgers you can get. 

  • Actually I have a culinary degree. My chili is good but not great. Also, as far as farts are concerned, try this:


  • If by "most pure beef" you mean "most PUREED beef formed into pate" then I think we're talking about the same thing image
  • I'm a pretty good cook. I like to just try different things. I make a damn good chicken chili. It doesn't really work the same with beef though.
  • never heard of Krystal's I guess it's a reginal thing like Tim Hortons



    sounds like its worst then Rotten Ronny's taco bells are very very bad for me.
  • i cook you go to the cabinet grab a can of tua put it in the can opener. whalaa dinner
  • I love one-pot cooking; peasant food. I'll make up all kinds of spicy ground beef dishes in the same vein as indian food, just not as soupy/saucy.



    Lately I've been experimenting with making my own oils and using them in stir-frys and such. It's a really easy way to take the mundane bunch of veggies and make them pop. And it's still one-pan cooking. Just use cheap-ass vegetable oil and some good ingredients, they don't have to be fresh but they must be good. Making flavored oils is great because you dump dry spice in and it revitalizes them and releases all of the flavor, and when you put your broccoli or cauliflower in, it soaks up all of that flavor. Remarkable stuff.
  • Umm...how is a ground beef dish in the same vein as indian food image
  • image Just the same style, simmer on low heat for a long time so it takes on the flavor of the dish. Strong flavors, heavy on the spices. I actually use some indian recipes, but sub beef for lamb. Curry beef = incredible when done in the same style.
  • I know, I'm just picking on you about making Indian-style dishes with beef.
  • I love to cook. I don't do it often, but I enjoy it when I can. Can't afford the needed ingredients for some of my fav dishes.



    Taco Bell doesn't give me bad bombs, and I don't eat Krystals unless I'm in desperate need for a laxative. Salisbury steaks do it to me. Walmart had these little burgers that, holy cow, ran me out of the bedroom.
  • Yes, I cook, and while experimental, 98% of the time it comes out better than 95% of the local restaurants. I make pretty darn good chili (hint: spices and peppers don't always matter, but they do help). I've never entered a cooking contest (at least not yet). As for the question of which farts are worst, chili by far, in my experience. When I eat, I eat quite a bit: I can eat 2 cans of chili in one sitting, and occasionally go back for more. But when I do eat chili, watch out...the first fart is a tear-jerker, and the second is toxic and will likely prompt you to exit the room. The third, if you survive that long, is 40% lethal image .
  • Well, yeah. If you're eating CANNED chili prepare for an ass-plosion. Canned beans always have a high concentration of specific preservatives that cause terrible gas. Reconstituted dried beans have a much less pronounced effect.
