#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.

Here’s a pending-tourism question for you if you’ve the time:

As a descendant of the Welsh diaspora, I’ve wanted to visit Wales for years to see where my ancestors were from. However, I am torn because part of the goal, in my opinion, of traveling is to experience local authentic cuisine - but I’m allergic to dairy. I realize that rules out a lot of traditional Welsh foods, which I am told often include butter and cheese.

The question to you is: is there much of a vegan Welsh cuisine food scene in Cardiff, Swansea, or Bangor? Or is that just not much of a thing. (I presume there are a number of vegan restaurants throughout the country, but are many/any specifically catering towards Welsh cuisine? The goal is experience traditional Welsh flavors as much as is possible, and I find myself deeply distrusting of non-local internet food reviews because often only the locals who will know how things are supposed to taste).

I'm going to throw this one open to the floor, because my instinctive reaction is no, but I'm not vegan and others may have found something (particularly around Cardiff).

I mean, there's plenty of vegan food here! It's just not Welsh, really

If it's just dairy that's the problem rather than all animal products, mind, see if you can try dragon sausages or Welsh lamb. Particularly, and I cannot stress this enough, if you can find either mountain lamb, or Gower salt marsh lamb. Mountain lamb is sweeter, and salt marsh lamb has a fuller flavour from the grazing they do (plus it's super environmentally friendly, because they help manage the salt marshes without machinery and therefore carbon fuels or ground disturbance.) And faggots of course! If you like liver. It's an offal dish.

OH and a LOT of seafood. In Swansea, go to the market. Cockles, laverbread (seaweed and oats mixed into patties and fried on a bakestone) and bacon are the traditional breakfast, but you can also get the catch of the day. A particular delicacy in Wales was always sewin, our word for river trout. So there's that.

[ril-sillyart1st]

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.

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.

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 :)

Top 10 trending foods in USA

Here are some trending foods in the US that you will love. We will discuss in detail about the trending foods through this post and talk about the quality of

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. The toppings on artisanal pizzas can vary widely, from classic margherita with fresh tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and basil, to more innovative combinations such as smoked salmon and cream cheese, or roasted vegetables with goat cheese.

In recent years, artisanal pizza has become increasingly popular, with many restaurants and pizzerias offering their own unique takes on this classic dish. Some artisanal pizzerias have even gained national and international recognition for their high-quality, innovative pizzas.

Craft beer

Craft beer is a type of beer that is brewed in small batches using traditional brewing methods and high-quality ingredients, often sourced locally. Craft beer is typically produced by independent breweries that are small in scale, with a focus on producing unique and flavorful beers that offer a departure from the mass-produced beers that dominate the market.

The craft beer movement began in the 1970s and has since grown into a major industry, with thousands of independent breweries operating around the world. These breweries often experiment with different ingredients, brewing techniques, and flavor profiles to create beers that appeal to a wide range of tastes.

Craft beer is known for its wide variety of styles, ranging from hoppy IPAs and rich stouts to tart sours and crisp lagers. Many craft breweries also offer limited edition or seasonal beers, often made with unique or unusual ingredients, to keep their offerings fresh and exciting.

The popularity of craft beer has also given rise to beer tourism, with many breweries offering tours and tastings for visitors. Craft beer festivals and events have also become popular, with beer lovers gathering to sample different brews and celebrate the art of craft brewing.

Korean barbecue

Korean barbecue, also known as “gogi-gui” in Korean, is a popular style of Korean cuisine that involves grilling meat, typically beef, pork, or chicken, at the table. The meat is usually marinated in a sweet and savory sauce before being grilled, and it is often accompanied by various side dishes such as kimchi, pickled vegetables, and rice.

Korean barbecue is typically cooked on a grill or griddle that is built into the table, allowing diners to cook the meat themselves and enjoy it hot off the grill. It is a social and interactive dining experience, as everyone at the table takes part in cooking and sharing the food.

Some of the most popular types of Korean barbecue meat include bulgogi (thinly sliced beef marinated in a soy sauce-based marinade), galbi (beef short ribs marinated in a sweet and savory sauce), and samgyeopsal (thick slices of pork belly). Other types of meat, such as chicken, duck, and seafood, can also be cooked in this style.

Korean barbecue has become increasingly popular around the world, and there are now many Korean barbecue restaurants that serve this delicious and flavorful cuisine.

Ramen

Ramen is a Japanese noodle soup dish that has become popular around the world. It typically consists of Chinese-style wheat noodles served in a savory broth that is often made with meat or fish, soy sauce, miso paste, and other seasonings. Ramen can be served in a variety of styles, such as shoyu (soy sauce-based), shio (salt-based), tonkotsu (pork bone-based), and miso (soybean paste-based), each with its unique flavor profile.

Ramen is usually served with a variety of toppings, such as sliced pork, boiled egg, green onions, and nori seaweed, although toppings can vary depending on the regional or personal preference. It is also common to add garlic, chili oil, or other condiments to adjust the flavor to taste.

Ramen is enjoyed both in casual settings, such as food stalls, as well as in more formal restaurants. It is a popular comfort food in Japan and has gained a following worldwide, with many Ramen shops opening up in major cities.

Street tacos

Street tacos are a popular type of taco commonly found in Mexico and in Mexican-American communities in the United States. They are typically served on soft corn tortillas and filled with a variety of grilled or roasted meats, such as beef, pork, chicken, or shrimp, as well as vegetables.

The meat is often marinated with a variety of spices and seasonings, and then grilled over an open flame or on a griddle, giving it a smoky and slightly charred flavor. Common toppings for street tacos include chopped onions, cilantro, avocado, and a squeeze of lime, although the toppings can vary depending on the region or personal preference.

Street tacos are often served in a casual outdoor setting, such as food trucks or outdoor markets, and are usually sold at an affordable price. They are a favorite of many people for their portability and ease of eating on the go, as well as their delicious and authentic flavors.

Cold brew coffee

Cold brew coffee is a type of coffee that is brewed with cold or room temperature water, rather than hot water. The process of making cold brew coffee involves steeping coffee grounds in cold water for an extended period of time, usually between 12 and 24 hours, which allows the coffee to slowly infuse into the water, creating a rich and smooth flavor.

Cold brew coffee is typically less bitter and acidic than hot-brewed coffee, which makes it appealing to many people who find hot coffee too harsh or acidic. It is also served cold or over ice, which makes it a refreshing and popular drink during the summer months.

Cold brew coffee can be made using a variety of coffee beans, including light, medium, and dark roast. The coffee can be enjoyed black or with milk, cream, or sugar added to taste.

Cold brew coffee has become increasingly popular in recent years and is now commonly available at coffee shops and cafes around the world, as well as being available in pre-made bottles and cans in grocery stores.

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.

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.

It's a truly Canadian culinary experience to find a street vendor selling these delicious delicacies, particularly during festivals and gatherings.

[chrysolipsist]

I think we all have something that would make us say, "there are a lot of things to criticize about America, a lot of things that are really fucked up over here. But this isn't one of them." There are some things for which this statement is true. I think one of them is that this country really is a melting pot. People that come here do invariably, within a few generations, sort of melt into a national average, with the second generation often bridging the gap between their immigrant parents and native children. And with each successive generation there is a little distance between how grandma from the old country did it and how your mom (her daughter) did it and now how you as and adult do it. But there's a few things you keep alive as a sort of remembrance and because it's just something you do, because why does anyone do anything? You just learn to do a certain thing and you do it. Food is the kind of thing that falls into this category.

I had an immigrant grandparent from Japan. When I was a kid there were certain things she did, that we all learned to do ourselves and which we still seem to do today. Using a rice cooker, for one. And making a specific meal of rice with pickles, some kind of protein, a splash of soy sauce, and that's a decent and very cheap lunch. I had that for lunch hundreds of times as a kid. Rice, pickles if we had them (they were a rare treat since it wasn't so easy to get to an Asian grocery store -- later as an adult I figured out how to make my own), and something like canned tuna, Vienna sausages, or maybe something like spam, or maybe roast beef hash, which you warm up in a frying pan and stir in the rice. Put a little soy sauce on top of it. The bits where the rice gets crispy are good. Tuna patties were better than just canned tuna. Breakfast food was good on rice, like bacon and eggs. Ham. Or even a nice steak with rice on the side. Anything, really. Sometimes we'd have nori and we'd basically make onigiri. Looking back now, this was a pretty fun thing to do as a kid because you'd build this thing out of rice, whatever else, and seaweed. I remember they'd toast the seaweed over the gas stove. My parents didn't have a lot of money when I was little and I ate so much rice with a can of whatever for meals. Like three or four times a week, if not more than that. When I visited Hawaii a few years ago, I was intrigued to discover how similar some of Hawaiian food is to the way I would eat as a kid. My grandparents lived in Hawaii for a while when my mother was young (late 50s) and I suppose it must have been nice for my grandmother with there being a good sized Japanese community. They later ended up in the Midwest, nowhere near any sort of community like that. The community she would have would be more military. Veterans' associations and the like.

Anyway, I wonder if my kid will grow up to do the same. Because I probably don't eat that kind of thing with the same frequency now as I used to. There are a few things that I do eat on occasion. For instance, I will make broiled or grilled salmon (basically salmon shioyaki) with rice in the manner I described above. But I'm not busting out the canned fish and meat very often these days. So I doubt my kid would carry on any of that. But I do make a fair amount of Japanese style food at home overall, so that would be a certain element of his life that is a little atypical, something most other families probably don't have. But they'd have something else, maybe. As time passes, some things disappear. This whatever-protein-on-rice thing seems like it might not be handed down much further than to myself.

The experience of figuring out how you relate to the country that you grow up in is surely a common experience across the globe. In the USA -- and maybe other countries in the western hemisphere -- this is often flavored by what you perceive to be your own heritage or ancestry. Whether some of your ancestors came over (or were forcibly brought over) in colonial times on a wooden ship, or were processed at Ellis Island, or who flew over in an airplane. I have a little ancestry in each category, myself. I think there are two ways that a person can approach looking at their ancestry. On the one hand, there could be this sort of confirmation that your lineage is appropriately "pure." I think a lot of Europeans may regard the American interest in ancestry as being a little too close to the Nazi obsession with racial purity. And, sure, there are some deranged Americans who do approach it this manner. But I think that the average American is far more likely to be merely curious about their ancestry. Stories about coming to America, and specific waves of immigration and movement in American history, are fairly common themes. And while it is certainly not totally universal, it is more common to have some curiosity about it.

I think that an American who gives in to this compelling urge to look for their "roots" is more likely to reflect on their ancestors' journey to this country, think about it in relation to today's newcomers, and feel a little compassion. This person is probably less likely to be a nativist. Sure, they might be a "only if they come here legally" type person, but they are probably less likely to be opposed to immigration outright, and probably less likely to think that we should start kicking out some people who have been living here for a long time.

And, god damn it, it may be corny but there are some things that are in fact pretty okay about the United States and one of them is that anyone at all--every person of any background--has somewhere in this fucking country where they can have a community. If they don't have one yet, it just means they haven't found it or don't know where to look. Virtually every single population of any kind anywhere on the globe has some representation here, somewhere. And within one generation their kids basically sound like the average American. Maybe with a couple minor accent shifts but, bam, there you go, there's more Americans.

One of the most endearing things about coming back home to the US, after you've been out of the country for a while, is hearing familiar accents that you only hear in this country. It's probably a common experience for visitors to be herded through customs while being half-shouted at by some person in a uniform whose English is hard for even other native English speakers to understand. I'm sure that for you it is terrible, but for me it feels like I'm back home.

The ever changing cultural milieu that results from the constant churn, the endlessly iterative regression to the mean. I don't know if any other country in the world is like this quite to the same degree. There is a distinct charm to this place that I think can be appreciated in spite of the embarrassing mess that constitutes our despicable ruling class, our failure as a nation to stand up for what is right rather than what is profitable or convenient, and our history of wiping our ass with other nations when it's politically expeditious or as a favor to someone with enough money.

To be honest, this heavy shit is beyond my capacity for thinking about right this moment. With respect to immigration, I say: If you're willing to share in some kind of intoxicant with me you can be an American. It doesn't necessarily have to be a chemical intoxicant. If you can take a joke, you can be an American. I think those are the only two requirements there needs to be to be able to come to this country. Be able to take a joke, and be able to share either a drink, a smoke, or even just the appreciation of something really nice, like a symphony or movie. I mean we do have the ability to pick and choose so we should keep out the assholes, if we're going to keep out anyone.

I went to the fridge and I remembered that I had granny smith apples and tangerines in there. Other stuff that I used to eat as a kid. We also have a 12 oz bottle of chocolate milk. If I really wanted to get nostalgic I'd drink that and make myself a peanut butter sandwich on sliced wheat bread. The chocolate milk is for a recipe my wife is making which, I don't even know what the fuck it is, some dessert thing I guess. She'll do those kinds of recipes where one of the ingredients is a can of cream of chicken soup. I don't like to use shortcuts, I'm one of those snooty people who think they have a developed palate. Anyway, I can just imagine explaining in the morning: "Honey, I was just feeling real nostalgic and I was going to run around the corner to get you another one in the morning." Nah, I won't drink it, but it's the sort of thing I would do if I didn't have more self-control.

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.

My friends as soup:

My friends have soup vibes and I want to talk about soup and recommend some soup too. Each friend has been designated a nickname. They will know.

My sunshine girl: Chickpea Soup

Warm, perfect for when it's cold or if you're feeling run down. Just warms the soul in exactly the right way. It's a hearty soup too, so one bowl in you might think "wow can't get much better than this!" But oh boy this soup just gets better with each bowl. It's hard to find a soup that tastes so good even after 2 days, but this soup does just that! It's a soup that really takes care of you. The type of soup that can hold you in it's big soupy arms and protect you. Really great soup!

Chess boy: Seafood Chowder

Now I know what you're thinking, why is a chowder on this list of soup? But, according to google, the foremost knower of knowing things, a chowder technically is just a hearty soup. Seafood Chowder is definitely an underappreciated king of soups. It's a fantastic soup in my opinion. Maybe not for everyone and that's okay. But damn do I fucking love this soup. The little bits of shrimp, the saltiness of the bacon mixing in with that creamy broth. I like it a lot, tastes great and makes me very happy.

Adhd: Miso Soup

This is a classic soup, nice kick of salt, lovely mix of seaweed and tofu for a variety of texture. It's perfect as a little side dish or even as a big hearty bowl. I usually see it as a delicate type of soup, one to spend a good bit of time perfecting and such. But when you get that perfect silk feel from the seaweed and the softness of the tofu, the combination with the broth is heaven. A meal with this soup just feels complete.

Just a touch of the tism: Butternut Squash Soup

This soup, oh boy, this soup. It's not a favorite for many people (for some reason). It's one of those soups you gotta try before you decide. It's soft and sweeter than you'd expect. Tastes amazing with a good smack of pepper too. Definitely a lighter soup so a good treat of bread on the side is recommended. But as an appetizer, lunch or even just a cosy snack, Butternut Squash Soup's got your back. Wonderful during the winter as it's such a gentle but impactful flavor that it gives you a very "warm near the fire vibe". Great soup, more people need to eat this soup.

I think this is probably enough for now but most likely I will have more soup related updates.
