#bacon flavored seaweed

[nil-the-glitch]

actually yknow what, no. this is not being limited to discord, yall get it too.

some general cooking tips (in which there is a brief senshi posession):

moisture is the enemy of crispy skin. pat dry with paper towel, and if you have the time and spoons, give a thorough but even coat of baking powder and let sit uncovered in your fridge overnight. this will dry out the skin nicely. for pork belly, create a tight foil boat so that only the skin is showing, and cover in salt to draw out moisture, repeating a couple times if necessary.

furikake seasoning, for the fellow rice lovers, is just nori (seaweed), sesame seeds, sugar, and msg/salt. you might have most if not all of these things already in your kitchen.

chai spice mix is just cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, & allspice.

pumpkin spice is just cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.

to cure your own bacon, you only need water, white and brown sugar, and a non-iodized salt - himalayan pink salt is not iodized, if you cannot find butchers curing pink salt. from there, you can add any seasoning/flavoring you want.

the truly adventurous may cook their rice in green tea for a fresh clean taste.

you can tell if a fish is truly fresh by their eyes - clear and bright is fresh, while cloudy is older or potentially has been frozen.

it's cheaper to buy a large block pack of ramen from your local asian market and repackage the bricks into sandwich bags, than to buy a box of individually packaged ones such as maruchan or top ramen.

when buying meat, look at it's fat content - more fat marbling usually means more tender + flavorful.

you can save onion skins and other vegetable scraps to make your own broth with. you can also save bones for this. mix and match ratios to create your ideal flavor.

bay leaf will always make a soup or broth taste better, but Watch Out (they are not fun to bite into on accident).

msg is, in fact, not The Devil, that was just a racist hate campaign against the chinese and other oriental races. it's literally just a type of salt. it is no more dangerous to eat than any other type of salt.

washing your rice is important because it not only improves flavor and texture by removing excess starch, but it also helps reduce any residual pesticides or dirt, or even insect fragments (please remember that rice paddies are essentially giant ponds that all kind of things live in and swim around. you should also be washing all your produce in general.)

please salt your cooking water for pastas, it just tastes better and you will be happier for it.

boiled potatoes are also improved by salt water.

if you hate vegetables, please consider trying them fried in butter or perhaps bacon grease. it is healthier to eat them fatty than not at all.

healthy food does not in fact have to taste miserable. thats a lie. they are lying to you. free yourself from your blandness shackles. enter a world of flavor.

National Potato Chip Day

Crunchy and salty, these crispy snacks are perfect for any occasion. Pair with your favorite dip or enjoy them on their own.

Potato chips have become one of the world’s most popular snacks to ever hit the market. While this salty creation can now be made with a wide variety of methods and spiced with all kinds of delicious flavors. Some may ask however was the invention of the potato chip came from.

For those interested in the history of potato chips, National Potato Chip Day is just the excuse to do so!

How to Celebrate National Potato Chip Day

Enjoy Some Potato Chips

Grab a bag and snack on your favorite brand of potato chips. Have a potato chip party and create a variety of dips and during that party, test out all different brands of potato chips you know of to see which one is the best of them all.

Share With Friends

Share this holiday with your friends and family on social media and help people learn about the history of their favorite snack. You can post a photo of your favorite bag of potato chips and ask your followers to share their favorite flavor as well! After all, who doesn’t like to do a bit of bonding over food, right?

Make Potato Chips

Maybe even try your hand at making your own potato chips by looking up some recipes online. Test out different kinds of potatoes to see what potato is the best kind of to make homemade potato chips!

Some of the base ingredients include salt, unpeeled potatoes, pepper, garlic powder, and a number of other potential seasonings. You are also going to need some oil so that you can deep-fat fry the potatoes as well. Make sure you make plenty of potato chips, as we’re sure they will be eaten fairly quickly!

Make It Competitive

You could even get a few friends around and have a competition to see who can create the best bag of potato chips! You can all try to invent your own flavor and see who manages to come up with the best creation. There have been some crazy potato chip flavors made over the years, do you think that you could top them?

Learn About Potato Chip Flavors

In fact, this is another way that you can celebrate National Potato Chip Day; by learning about the different flavors from around the world. You may be surprised to hear about some of the flavors that people enjoy! For example, did you know that Pringles once created sugar and cinnamon flavor potato crisps? While sugar and cinnamon are undeniably a winning combination, you probably wouldn’t expect them to be used on a potato chip. Pringles decided to bring this flavor out for a limited period between 2014 and 2015.

Judging by the reviews that were left by people and the fact that these Pringles never returned, it is safe to say that they did not go down very well. There are plenty of other flavors that have been released over the years too. This includes Lay’s Nori Seaweed Flavor Chips, Kettle Brand Maple Bacon Potato Chips, Lay’s Cucumber Flavor Potato Chips, and Lay’s Baked Scallop with Butter & Garlic Potato Chips. Some of these flavors are very popular as well, although we’re not sure we would like to try cucumber crisps!

Learn About National Potato Chip Day

National Potato Chip Day has been created so that we can celebrate the number one snack in many households all over the world: potato chips! If you’re someone who simply can’t stick to one packet of potato chips, you’re going to love this day, as you have the opportunity to eat as many as you want and no one can say anything about it!

There is so much to love about a bag of potato chips, isn’t there? They’re incredibly simple, but the best things in life are, right? Plus, you can easily eat them on-the-go. No matter whether you are heading to work or you’re taking the train to visit a friend, you can take a bag of potato chips with you to make your day more enjoyable!

History of National Potato Chip Day

While potatoes have been around for the longest time, the potato chip began its origins with George Crum, who initially worked as a chef at Saratoga Springs’ Moon Lake Lodge in 1853, where French-fried potatoes were a favorite on their menu.

Frying potatoes originally came about during the 1700s, when Thomas Jefferson enjoyed them in France and introduced them to the local folk in Saratoga. When customers started complaining that the fries were too thick, Crum sarcastically decided to cut the potatoes as thin as he could, fried them and sent them back to the customers.

To his surprise, they loved them and asked for more. From there, the potato chip was born. Crum from there opened his own restaurant and many famous people such as William Vanderbilt, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Jay Gould visited his restaurant, with a basket of chips at every table.

Although Crum didn’t patent his invention, it came to pass as one of the most innovative snacks to move the food industry. Many from there began their own food production, including the Hanover Home Potato Chip company established in 1921.

A few years later, Laura Scudder came up with the concept of putting the chips in wax paper bags instead of putting them in glass containers or barrels.

Soon after, Herman Lay founded Lay’s in Nashville and his potato chips became the first national brand to sell potato chips successful on a wide scale. National Potato Chip Day aims to celebrate the salty, crispy snack and its fascinating history.

What's everyone in your BATMM AU's favorite food?

Great question! (Finally someone ask me about their favorite stuff) I also included my OCs and put the gang's least favorite food as well.

(note: some are based on what I like and dislike)

Flarelyn Family AU:

★ Blaze just loves chocolate truffles but only gets to eat it once because it's such an special treat for him to eat as she may not self control themselves and hates spicy food (man can eat it whatever he wants but he's not a fan of it for some reason.)

★ Crusher really fw seafood especially that has soup on it (specifically sushi). Also Crusher also fw with spicy noodles.

Crusher doesn't like other spicy food in general and pickles.

★ Fiar loves the Mac-And-Cheese and Strawberry Lemonade combo. She made this combo by herself when she was making herself strawberry lemonade while Crusher was making Mac And Cheese for her.

Fiar hates spicy food, banana and avocado. She will only eat the banana if it is a banana split or covered in chocolate and sprinkles.

(don't ask me why the FF hates spicy food, they're an sweet tooth family)

★ Pickle is very much obviously enough, usually doesn't have a least favorite other than non-edible food.

★ Watts fw Ube Grilled Cheese! (Watts just loves ube flavored food) and she also likes Siopao (especially the toasted one! That sh🫧t is really good. /Gen)

Watts doesn't like spaghetti that much anymore (specifically the Filipino one) because of how many times she ate at events her parents go to. (Me moment)

★ Starla likes spaghetti and meatballs but she doesn't like bacon and other beefy stuff.

★ Darington likes waffles for breakfast with blueberries and whip cream on top of it. They for some reason don't like pancakes. They also love star shaped chicken nuggets.

★ Stripes likes spicy chicken with sliced tomatoes and potatoes on it. (Btw it's cooked! He doesn't like the taste of raw chicken) Also Stripes doesn't like sweet food especially cake.

★ Zeg has an very old memory when his mother used to baked him Apple raspberry pie every Christmas. Good memories, he still makes his own Apple raspberry pie every Christmas and shared it to his friends. (Btw Zeg can't cook but he can bake for some reason.)

Zeg doesn't like bananas because it tastes kinda plain to him.

★ Onyx both liked Jello Cake and Crabs but Crabs would be their no. 1 favorite food. They like the classic version of Jello Cake the most, classic version is would describe as "salty yet sweet".

Onyx hates Shrimp because she's allergic to it (me moment.)

★ Mia also likes Jello Cake but specifically vanilla flavor, very creamy and sweet. Seaweed spaghetti would be her no. 1 favorite food. Mia doesn't have any least favorite food as for now.

★ Kizzie and Veronica likes strawberry smoothie!

Veronica doesn't like vanilla ice cream. While Kizzie doesn't like chocolate ice cream.

★ Fuchsia likes mint chocolate chip ice cream and hates pumpkin pie.

★ Scarlett doesn't have any favorite or least favorite for now.

Blaze And The Rusty Machines AU:

★ Blaze likes to eat flowers (yes this man is so f🌊ck🫧d up) after he's at stage 3 with his sanity getting worse. He only likes it when it was bought from the flower shop instead of the garden because of the dirt.

★ Crusher in the other hand hates eating flowers. He likes chocolate cherry ice cream.

Savory Cakes Resippy

(because I mentioned it to @unboundhavenn on twitter and have been craving them ever since)

Under cut cuz it got kinda long

What u need:

Flour

Sugar

Salt

Baking powder (not pictured)

Butter (or margarine)

Milk (water works too if you don't have milk)

Egg(s)

Shredded/grated cheese (I usually use sharp cheddar, but whatever works)

Optional:

Green onion (I always use these cuz they're cheap and easy to get)

Extra seasoning (garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, turmeric, whatever u want)

Other veg add ins (jalapeño, cilantro, corn, anything that sounds good)

Meat? (Like bacon bits, cubed ham, leftover stuff you can shred/chop)

Draw ur circles

Dry stuff goes in bowl:

1.5 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder (I like my pancakes a little flatter, if you like fluffier ones you can up this all the way to like 3 teaspoons)

1.5 to 2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon sugar

Any dried/powdered seasonings, I just used garlic and onion powder this time

Mix or sift everything together so it gets evenly distributed. I make a double batch because we eat these things so fast, so I'm using 2x the amounts listed

Add wet stuff:

3 tablespoons butter, melted (I you use salted butter, reduce the salt you add by a little bit)

1.5 cups milk (if you want fluffier pancakes, reduce to 1.25 cups. You can also use water if you forgot you're out of milk and they still turn out good)

1 egg

It works best if you measure out your milk and let it come to room temperature, you can also warm it up with the butter (I do it in a pot on the stove but you can also use a microwave if you have one). Just make sure you let it cool off a bit before mixing everything in. You want it warm enough that the butter doesn't get clumpy, but cool enough that it won't cook the eggs

Add in extras

Cheese, veg, other seasonings you forgot earlier, anything works. I usually use about 1 cup of cheese per single batch, but I went kinda ham on it today. Do you have furikake? Bacon bits? Random lunchmeat you can tear or cut into bits? Toss in whatever. It might look kinda lumpy when you've mixed everything together, but that's fine

Draw the rest of the owl

Heat up your pan/griddle to a low medium, I usually go 4/10 to start. You want the inside of the pancakes to cook, but not burn the outside. As time goes on the pan will get hotter, so I adjust the heat down a tiny bit at a time (it usually gets down to about 3/10 by the time I'm done, but work with whatever your cooktop does). You can also pour a tiny bit of oil into the pan and it'll help your cakes get a little crispier on the edges and prevent sticking, but it's not super necessary

Scoop/pour some batter into the pan and cook. My trick is I watch the lil bubbles that form around the sides, and when they pop but don't immediately fill in again (pictured above) you know the cakes are starting to cook through and you can flip them. If your bubbles aren't leaving holes but your cakes are getting burned on the bottom, turn down the heat a bit

Flip the cakes so they get cooked on both sides, when they're as brown as you want you're done! Remember if you have a lot of cheese the cheese will also get browned, so if they're a little darker than normal pancakes that's good and fine

The cheese gets cooked into the cake so they're not super gooey unless you use a ton, or maybe like big slices or something (I used so much cheese today that they are a tiny bit chewier and have a distinct cheese flavor, but if you hold back it just makes them super moist and rich). I always use green onions in mine, which also ups the moisture content and makes them extra savory

Tried it with nori today too! Really good if you really like nori, it's not crispy but has a very distinct seaweed flavor. You can either lay it in the pan and pour batter on top, or lay it on top of the uncooked side right before you flip one over and it works great either way

I tend to eat one or two immediately after they leave the pan because they're so good when they're super fresh like that (very hot though, don't burn urself if you do this), but if you're patient enough you can top them with stuff like more cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, anything that sounds good (maybe even like, avocado? Crab salad? Make a sandwich with them? 👀) You can also eat them cold, or if you have some leftover you can reheat them in a pan with a little bit of butter and I've been told they're even better that way

Hope u enjoy the cakes :)

All the British Foods That Should Have Been Ranked by YouGov

All the British Foods That Should Have Been Ranked by YouGov

YouGov has frequently conducted surveys ranking various aspects of British culture, from the nation’s favorite biscuits to the most beloved fish and chip shop condiments. However, some classic and quirky British foods have been left out of the spotlight. Here are some that deserve their own rankings:

1. Cornish Pasty

A staple of Cornwall, this hearty pastry is filled with beef, potatoes, swede, and onions, wrapped in a golden, flaky crust. While the Cornish pasty has a loyal following, its ranking against other British delicacies remains unexamined.

2. Scotch Eggs

This delightful pub snack consists of a hard-boiled egg encased in sausage meat, coated in breadcrumbs, and deep-fried to crispy perfection. Whether enjoyed hot or cold, scotch eggs are an underrated classic that deserves a nationwide ranking.

3. Jellied Eels

A divisive dish with deep roots in London’s East End, jellied eels are cooked and set in a savory jelly. Some adore them, while others refuse to go near them—this is precisely why they need to be ranked.

4. Black Pudding A key component of a full English breakfast, black pudding is a type of blood sausage made from pork blood, oats, and spices. It’s a love-it-or-hate-it dish that YouGov should assess to see where public opinion truly stands.

5. Welsh Rarebit More than just cheese on toast, Welsh rarebit features a rich, savory cheese sauce often made with ale, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. It’s a comforting dish that deserves recognition beyond its traditional roots.

6. Stargazy Pie A truly unique dish from Cornwall, stargazy pie consists of fish (typically pilchards) baked into a pie with their heads poking out of the crust. While it might not be to everyone’s taste, its distinctive presentation makes it worthy of a ranking.

7. Pease Pudding A northern English specialty, pease pudding is a smooth, mashed dish made from yellow split peas. Often served with ham or bacon, it’s a comfort food that hasn’t received the recognition it deserves.

8. Laverbread A Welsh delicacy made from boiled and puréed seaweed, laverbread is rich in vitamins and has a distinct salty flavor. While popular in Wales, its national ranking is yet to be determined.

9. Bedfordshire Clanger A historical British dish, the Bedfordshire clanger is a pastry with a savory filling on one end and a sweet filling on the other. A relic of traditional working-class meals, it deserves a comeback and a spot on any YouGov ranking.

10. Pikelets Similar to crumpets but thinner, pikelets are often served toasted with butter. Despite their popularity in some regions, they rarely get the attention they warrant.

British cuisine has a rich and diverse history, and these dishes are just a small selection of what makes it so unique. While some of these foods are well-loved, others are controversial or fading from public view. A YouGov ranking of these traditional dishes would provide fascinating insight into modern British tastes.

Chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s new-style Japanese cuisine beckons at Nobu Manila, with a five-course Christmas Omakase dinner tasting menu on December 24 and 25.

The Top 7 Best Street Food in Canada

 Canada, a country renowned for its diverse population and expansive landscapes, has as varied a street food culture as its citizens. From the vibrant metropolises of Vancouver and Toronto to the quaint lanes of Quebec City, Canadian street food offers a delectable blend of international culinary influences. Leading roles in this culinary mosaic are classic recipes that have come to represent street food in Canada.

Poutine, a national treasure, is a flavourful symphony of crispy fries, Savory gravy, and squeaky cheese curds. For those who have a sweet tooth, BeaverTails are delicious pastries with an assortment of sweet toppings that provide a filling treat. The sound of Japadog, a blend of Japanese cuisine and North American spicy food, reverberates throughout Canadian streets.

The famous peameal bacon sandwich, bannock, butter tarts, and Montreal-style bagels all stand out as culinary treasures that each highlight a different facet of Canada's rich culinary history as one explores the country's many culinary landscapes. Come along on a mouthwatering tour of some of Canada's best street meals, where each mouthful narrates a tale of creativity, history, and mouthwatering tastes that make Canadian street cuisine really remarkable.

 Here are some of the best street foods in Canada.

1. Poutine Artistry: An Iconic Canadian Tradition: Poutine, the national cuisine of Canada, is a top contender for the finest street food in the nation. This delicious Quebec-style dish consists of golden fries that are crispy on the outside and topped with squeaky cheese curds and creamy gravy. Poutine is a popular street meal all throughout the country because of its unique blend of tastes and textures. You can always find a local seller selling this beloved Canadian dish, whether you're in the quaint little streets of Montreal or the busy streets of Toronto.

 2. BeaverTails: A Sweet Delight for All Taste Buds: On the streets of Canada, BeaverTails provides a delicious experience for anyone with a sweet taste. Shaped like beaver tails, these hand-stretched, deep-fried pastries are served with a variety of toppings. These pastries, which range from traditional cinnamon sugar to rich chocolate hazelnut, are a typical Canadian treat. The scent of freshly fried BeaverTails is likely to entice your taste buds, whether you're touring Ottawa's historic ByWard Market or strolling along Vancouver's shoreline.

3.Japadog: Combination Tastes on a Bun: Japadog is a street food phenomenon that combines Japanese and Canadian Flavors and has become quite popular in metropolitan areas. Japadog, which started in Vancouver, is a combination of traditional North American hot dogs with Japanese spices. Imagine a flawlessly cooked sausage covered with Japanese mayo, seaweed, and teriyaki sauce. Because of its distinctive fusion of culinary styles, japadog is now a street snack that both residents and visitors should eat.

4. Montreal-Style Bagels: An Original Take on a Classic: Although they may not be limited to street food, bagels prepared in Montreal offer a distinctive take on this traditional dish. Montreal bagels are hand-rolled, boiled in water sweetened with honey, and cooked to perfection in wood-fired ovens. They are denser, smaller, and sweeter than their New York counterparts. These bagels are perfect for snacking on while exploring Montreal's lively districts. They're commonly offered with different spreads, like cream cheese or smoked salmon.

5.Bannock: Ancient Origins, Contemporary Pleasure: Bannock, a street food staple in Canada, has its origins in Indigenous cuisine. The history of this flatbread, which is usually baked or fried, stretches back to before Europeans arrived in the nation. These days, bannock is consumed in a variety of ways, including Savory and sweet. It's probable that you'll come across a food truck or vendor selling this adaptable and delectable Indigenous delight, whether you're strolling through the streets of Yellowknife or right in the middle of Winnipeg.

These mouthwatering pastries have a flaky pastry shell covering an oozy, buttery interior. Butter tarts are the epitome of a treat for any sugar craving, whether they are eaten simple or topped with raisins or nuts. It's a truly Canadian culinary experience to find a street vendor selling these delicious delicacies, particularly during festivals and gatherings.

7. A Quick and Easy Breakfast Option: Peameal Bacon Sandwich: A Canadian staple for a substantial street food breakfast is the peameal bacon sandwich. Often called a "Toronto sandwich" or "peameal bacon sandwich," this meal is made out of back bacon, or peameal bacon, served on bread with toppings like lettuce and tomato and sometimes mustard. For both locals and visitors, it's a delightful way to start the day. This filling and flavourful alternative has become a street mainstay in Toronto and beyond.

 As we wave adieu to the enticing realm of street food in Canada, it is clear that the varied culinary scene reflects the nation's heterogeneous fabric. The streets of Canada provide a cross-border culinary journey, from the famous poutine to the sweet treat of BeaverTails and the savory fusion of Japadog.

In addition to showcasing Canada's culinary skills, these street food treats act as cultural ambassadors, showcasing the country's rich past and the influences of Indigenous customs, European settlers, and international cuisines.

The Recipe

You might need a rice cooker, but if you do not have one, a pan should work just fine as long as you follow the measurements for rice water ratio to use in this specific type of rice. I say this with the flexibility of considering how many musubi you would like to prepare. Maybe you are making a meal for today. Or maybe you might prefer to do a meal prep for the week ahead to take to work (keep in mind, if you are not going to each the musubi AND YOU CHOSE TO ADD EGG you might want to freeze to avoid the egg from going bad).

For pot prepping: pour your water and set it to boil. Once it is bubbling hot, you can add your rice and set the fire between medium and low.

For rice cooking: different rice cookers (depending on their features and price) have settings for the type of rice you are cooking and even have measure mark in the pot. The one I own is one of the simplest in the market ($14 from amazon) and still does the work of weighing the rice and water and cook it by itself and then set itself to switch to just warn when it is ready. With this i just want to express that rice cookers are machines of their own for this purpose! So much fun over a one-job cooking appliance (laughs).

Within the time your rice is cooking, do not observe it nor stir it (until the very end). You can take this time to sauté your musubi.

Slice your spam in one inch think slices. Think of this like the patty of a burger. How would you like it? Thin or thick? Your choice! your musubi, your call.

Here comes the first optional ingredient: sesame oil. Spam is similar to bacon; it has its own fat so you should not add any to the pan when cooking it. HOWEVER, for more flavor, I like to add a few drops of sesame oil in the pan. Not too much, because if flavor, not to fry the spam.

Back to the recipe, add soy sauce to the pan. 3 spoonfuls should be enough if you are going to cook the whole can of Spam. Otherwise, it will be too salty. Keep this in mind if you want to prepare less than a can. Flip the slices until golden brown from the soy sauce. They might be a bit crispy but still tender. This step (depending on the amount of slices too) should be between 5 to 10 minutes in medium-high heat. Once done, take your slices out and place them in a plate previous cover the absorbing paper or napkins. This is to remove or reduce the excess oil from the spam.

Rice is ready! to speed up a bit the cooling time, change your rice from container. This applies to whether rice cooker or pot. Both are made with metal, so even after turning off your heat they will still cook your rice and therefore dry it. The cooling time might take a while. Why is it important to cool down the rice? Well, at the time of shaping and rolling in nori you would prefer the rice at lukewarm temperature so the nori does not rip and your won't burn your hand in the process. This gives you more time for the next step:

Break for eggs and pour them in a would. You can use a whisk or a fork to beat the eggs until homogenous, then add a pinch of salt. In a pan, use some oil or butter to avoid the sticking and the pour the eggs in the pan at medium heat. Just like an omelette of a pancake, make a circle of the egg and cook both sides. The cute in shapes similar to the size of your spam slices.

Rice is cool! Time to assemble. The rice still needs some work: add the mirin (no more than 3 tablespoons). This will help the rice to stick like in sushi and onigiri and shape it rectangles to combine with the slices and the egg. Wrap around with nori. To seal the nori wet the tip of your finger with water and apply it to the end of the seaweed and paste it to the other part.

All set! Enjoy!

If you are doing this for food prepping or future meals to store, wait a bit if you musubi are still hot and wrap tightly with paper (either parch or aluminum)

Last couple optional ingredients: If you like to add sauces to your snacks, consider a mix or sriracha and honey to spice and sweet this great treat. Furikake topping is like the Everything seasoning to a bagel but for musubi and onigiri. I wouldn't technically be incomplete if you don't add it, but it gives a aesthetic last touch to the snack.

I call this snack a lot for its simplicity and size, but musubi are actually a high protein food!

I came up with this recipe because I personally do not like recipes. I think cooking would be easier and more accesible to learn for anybody the more flexible we make it. Because no two persons have the same time, budget, space or materials to prepare a recipe the same way, let alone the same taste or standards for things. I love cooking and I like to share these type of experiments so people can be less afraid of their kitchen and practice their own too while having a good time.

Very likely there are better recipes out there, I am sure of that. But I wrote this one down to demonstrate that there is no need for fancy ingredients or precise milimetric steps to make something YOU would love to taste for yourself. Remember, we don't have to do ANYTHING to deserve food. You just eat and enjoy! Still, there is sense of fulfillment in cooking your own meal that you are about to enjoy.

Speaking of human stuff!

What human food/snack do you think the boys would like the best?

And Horror gives me the vibes of "would cook any food you want even if he doesn't know the recipe because he loves you-"

Everyone has their vices

Killer is a fan of chocolate, but likes truffles in particular. He also has a weak spot for 3 Musketeers Dust likes just about any street food you can find, but he's a huge sucker for food truck/street food hot dogs. Everyone's is different, and he likes seeing which ones have what toppings or strange takes. He most enjoyed a deep fried, bacon-and-cheese wrapped one once. He was in grease heaven. Axe likes anything and everything, but has a special weakness for super gourmet foods because they're such a foreign concept to him. His favorite thing is wagyu beef. (And yes, he's a really good chef, so he absolutely will find out your favorite foods and figure out how to make them, even if he has to get the recipe off the internet) Cross likes street tacos possibly more than life itself. Barilla ones are his absolute fave, but any good taco truck will get his business and then some Baggs likes hot pockets and sushi. Nightmare ... is a mixed bag. He enjoys very, very fancy foods (high end steakhouse, Michelin star restaurant, generational family businesses, etc.) but he also has a weak spot for just... slop thrown together. He didn't eat well when he first started out on his own, resorting to what he could swipe without getting noticed... so he has some odd favorites, including but not limited to: -Pickles and mayonnaise -Corn dogs and pudding cups (chocolate goes best, he says, but he's not picky) -Mustard covered apple pie (originally to cover up the flavor of apples, which he hates, but he decided it tasted good enough. -Barbeque sauce and snack cakes of any kind If he's not feeling great, he'll go to town on these, as they're a bit of a comfort food for him. There's loads of other god-awful combos he likes, too.

Dream is a sucker for cakes. Any kind of cake. Ink likes anything that is vividly colored, heavily food-dyed, etc. Rainbow bagels, brightly colored candies, anything he can potentially get the colors off of while eating them, plus they're pretty! Blue loves his burgers. Humans make some absolutely insane burgers, too. He likes the ones that are challenges.

Error likes brand name chocolate, the fancier the better. He also likes popcorn, and has recently been turned on to popcorn with toppings, like seaweed, flavored dust or salts, the like.

Top 10 trending foods in USA

Below is a list of 10 trending foods in the United States

Avocado toast

Plant-based meat alternatives

Poke bowls

Gourmet burgers

Artisanal pizzas

Craft beer

Korean barbecue

Ramen

Street tacos

Cold brew coffee 

Avocado toast 

Avocado toast is a simple and popular breakfast or brunch dish in the United States. It typically consists of mashed avocado spread on top of a slice of toasted bread, often sourdough or whole wheat, and seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes lemon juice.

Additional toppings may include sliced tomatoes, microgreens, feta cheese, bacon, or a poached egg. The dish has gained popularity in recent years due to the rise in popularity of avocados, which are a nutrient-dense fruit rich in healthy fats and fiber. Avocado toast is also often marketed as a healthy and easy meal option for people with busy lifestyles.

Plant-based meat alternatives

Plant-based meat alternatives are food products designed to mimic the taste, texture, and appearance of traditional meat products, but made entirely from plant-based ingredients. They have become increasingly popular in the United States as more people adopt vegan, vegetarian, and flexitarian diets, and as concerns grow about the environmental and ethical impact of animal agriculture.

Some popular plant-based meat alternatives in the US include Beyond Meat, Impossible Foods, and Lightlife. These products are made using a variety of ingredients such as pea protein, soy protein, wheat gluten, and beet juice, which are processed and combined to create a meat-like texture and flavor.

Plant-based meat alternatives are often marketed as a healthier, more sustainable, and more ethical alternative to traditional meat. They are also popular among consumers who are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint, as animal agriculture is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. While plant-based meat alternatives are not necessarily healthier than traditional meat, they do offer a viable alternative for those who are looking to reduce their meat intake without sacrificing taste or convenience.

Poke bowls 

Poke bowls are a popular Hawaiian dish that has become increasingly popular in the United States in recent years. They typically consist of cubes of raw fish, usually tuna or salmon, served over a base of rice or salad greens, and topped with various vegetables, sauces, and seasonings.

The term “poke” means “to slice” in Hawaiian, and the dish is believed to have originated in Hawaii as a way for fishermen to use up the less desirable parts of their catch. Today, poke bowls have evolved into a trendy and healthy meal option, and can be found in many restaurants and food trucks across the US.

Poke bowls are often customizable, with many different variations available. Some popular ingredients include avocado, seaweed, cucumber, edamame, and spicy mayo sauce. Poke bowls are often marketed as a healthy and fresh option, as they typically feature high-quality, nutrient-dense ingredients such as fish and vegetables. They can also be a good source of protein and healthy fats, making them a popular meal option among health-conscious consumers.

Artisanal pizzas

Artisanal pizzas are pizzas that are made by skilled craftspeople using high-quality, fresh, and often locally-sourced ingredients. These pizzas are typically hand-crafted, with attention paid to every detail, from the crust to the toppings. Artisanal pizza makers may use traditional techniques, such as wood-fired ovens, to give the pizzas a unique, authentic flavor.

Artisanal pizzas are often associated with the “farm-to-table” movement, which emphasizes the use of locally-sourced, sustainable ingredients.
