FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

Probably the best beer in Denmark

Never had it from Chipotle. Not spending $2.99 or whatever it costs now on a little container of Guac.

The price of Avocados in America is criminal. Same as CoConuts.

I need to live somewhere where those things are like buying bananas here.

Move to kauai. You can just pick them off the tree and they are the size of coconuts.

Fwiw Chipotle's guac is BUNS.

I've learned that the best guac is homemade guac and dependent on the ingredients inside it might not even be considered guac anymore

Best guac is when they used to roll up to your table with the mortar and pestle and do it right there. Places still do that or was that a fad?

 

[heelsandeers]

So what other % distributions have you come across?

eggs - 75% scrambled, 25% fried
tortillas - 80% corn, 20% flour
burritos - 80% rice, 20% other

COVID probably killed that practice for good. But I was aware of a couple places that still did it pre-pandemic.

"The price of Avocados in America is criminal. Same as CoConuts."

Have a family friend from Guyana. She said avocados were for poor people. Growing up her and her siblings would take a boat to school and pick avocados in the morning for breakfast along the way cuz they were poor and had no food at home. Her mind was blown when she came here and saw the prices they charge.

Nooooooooooooo.

I am saying in terms of the creation of GUAC, what have been distributions you have encountered. (Since you only want 99% avocado)

Exactly man. I have heard that from SO many immigrants. It is frustrating.

Yea but rent would be $5000 per month.

nah, there’s deals to be had. Probably cost the same as dc.

 

[chucktwnsfinest]

Any Spice blend recommendations? Used this on some bone in ribeyes, #meh I was expecting more

 

[tay1]

Yea, I use the paste for everything now. I have to travel far to find SHallots so I just use Ginger and Garlic.

I also find it easier to peel the garlic before baking than after.

It’s hard to find shallots?

Yeah I roast the shallots unpeeled and just squeeze it out. I buy pre peeled garlic tho

 

[akajae]

My parents neighbor has an avocado tree...

he would bless them with bags of them joints.

Went to Colombia a few years back and every place we went to eat they would always bring out a bowl of avocados to our table like it was bread

They aren't at the grocery stores that I generally shop at.

I have to drive like 25 minutes to get some, so I just have been making the paste without the Shallots.

What's this paste ya'll making? (pause?)

that was the all encompassing avocado distribution but nvm

99/1 guac should only happen when out of ingredients

i like it 70/30 or so with a lot of jalapeno

hold the tomato
