well raw eggs get cooked in stuff & I'm cool with that it's just like hard boiled or fried or whatever you people do, they smell so bad, it's just not my thing

Someone made me kidneys once because I had not had them before and was interested. They were disgusting. I still ate 5 and had nightmares all night. They ate one because they don't like kidneys.

My partner is a reformed vegan and has slowly been adding some seafood to his diet. The first time he had lobster he spit it out. I ate the chewed up bit. He threw up some abalone in a restaurant. He likes grilled octopus though.

Euler how are you in France and not eating mayo. I feel like in France is the only time I eat mayo. Especially when it's freshly prepared.

When we go out to restaurants and it's omakase/chef's menus I have to make sure I am extra hungry, because I hate food going to waste and sometimes have to eat double because i'll eat the portions or plates he can't eat. I have a lot of pics me eating huge cheese/charcut boards all by myself.

I'm a bit of a traditionalist with italian food and béchamel is good in lasagna, but not necessarily necessary - there are many regional variations and many don't contain béchamel

these dad anecdotes are odd to me as my dad was so serious about not wasting food that he'd eat pieces of steak and side salad that I had partially chewed, gagged, and spit out.

I am reading all about bechamel in lasagne now and have come to the conclusion that it's best if it's well integrated and subtle. I think a lot of restaurants/markets cheap out on cheese and just slather it in there.
― Yerac, Friday, 23 March 2018 16:47 (six years ago) link
I will never allow bechamel to get into my lasagna.
― WilliamC, Friday, 23 March 2018 16:52 (six years ago) link
I suspect that many people who think they have never tried bechamel on lasagne have in fact tried bechamel on lasagne.

i’ve only ever made lasagna with bechamelit’s the way my mum made it & the way i like it best red sauce + ricotta lasagna just doesnt ever feel as substantial as a good rustic meat sauce + bechameland per outdoor miner - the bolognese sauce is thick, and the bechamel is thick, it’s not a soupy mess at all. maybe a ~little~ runny on the first night but once the leftovers set up in the fridge overnight it’s 👌🏻

my partner once ordered extra sauce for everybody's pizza without asking anyone. there was an awkward initial sampling of the pizza wherein I kept wondering aloud why the pizza was so saucy and bad before she finally admitted her crime. she thought it wouldn't be noticeable and was apparently mortified that I kept talking about how saucy the pizza was to everyone.

tbf nobody was expressing a strong opinion on toppings, and i think it was a gambit to impress everyone with her ordering skills. she was just the only one who liked extra sauce. she is also my favorite person, though, so the others maybe (probably?) haven't moved on.

what is wrong w sauce, sauce is good, the more the better. is it because it makes it too gloopy? i had a friend who would order pizzas "well done" because he felt, with some justification, that the middles of most pizzas are too gloopy

if you want pizza sauce just eat spoonfuls of sauce, I've never had a pizza and thought "I wish there were about twice as much pizza sauce on here"

For some weird reason I associate extra sauce with the 1980s. Like, not knowing any better.

Roberta's has on every table their bottle of hot oil. It's super good.
― Yerac, Friday, 23 March 2018 18:11 (six years ago) link
The food in general in Chile is very average. They don't like spices.
It probably depends on how sweet and acidic the pizza sauce is tbh. Ideally, a pizzeria has some idea of the balance between the sweet/sour/dairy and has already chosen the correct proportions for you.

For every bechamel-in-lasagna person, I beg you to try this instead just once.
4T butter, a small onion or a couple of shallots minced fine, 3T flour, 2C milk, 2 egg yolks, 1C grated parmesan cheese.Soften onions in butter; blend in the flour, then the cheese; whisk in the milk and cook/stir until it's the thickness of heavy cream; temper the beaten yolks with some sauce and add it all back to the pot; cover and cook on very low for 10 minutes.

I figure it's because the water is so salty/minerally it's destroyed everyone's tastebuds, that a lot of stuff is just starting to get imported, the milk/cheese situation is stupid and the traditional food is pretty bland.
― Yerac, Friday, 23 March 2018 18:46 (six years ago) link
They do put bechamel in their lasagna here too. It's bad.
this is a picture of locos mayo which is probably my favourite dish. this looks utterly revolting
