experimenting with food

I made hamburgers tonight and decided to see what they'd taste like if I added pancake batter. I don't know if the experiment was a complete success, but the results were interesting, to say the least.

So, do you ever play around with recipes, just to see what will happen?

I like your mind, Melissa.

Following on from a thread about sex, I wasn't sure what this thread was going to be about. I am the least experimental person with food in the world, probably. The last, ooh, twenty or so meals I've made at home were identical: steak pie followed by tinned peaches in syrup. My regular meal at lunchtime in the week (except when I'm doing lunch with someone) is two cheese rolls. It's strange, given how very varied my listening and reading both are, but it suits me.

My cousin's professor said he occasionally has people coming in with a banana (or other objects) stuck up their bum. This is not what you're implying when talking about experimenting with food, huh?

a professor of WHAT, exactly?

but do put marshmallows in the microwave... they get ENORMOUS while-u- watch.

never do what my sister and i did: crunch up those tiny little hard pink musk lollies in our teeth, and spit it + saliva all back into a glass. we systematically crunched our way through a whole packet, then added soda water.

I used to enjoy putting those Magic Spacedust things (or Pop Rocks as they're known in the US, they go by a variety of different names here) in glasses of carbonated water. I wouldn't drink them until the carbon dioxide warfare had passed, though.

I threw a little coffee powder in my stirfry the other day. It wasn't bad.

DAMN that second girl, a jaca could go in there Queen you probably ruined my lunch(thats okay im fat enough). Back to food whole taste universes are open when you start mixing 5 or more diferent candies

― Chupa-Cabras, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

chupa - you should see the one with the pumpkin...eggplant and zucchini i can understand, but pumpkin?:???

― Queen G, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ill pass it, Still looking forward to dinner

― Chupa-Cabras, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've been known to do this sort of thing when food supplies in the electric household are getting low. My favourite (and only vaguely successful) experiment was to combine baked beans, eggs and grated cheddar cheese and fry it all up. It was tasty for the first three mouthfuls before it got way too much..

Pop Rocks were originally invented as a way of dehydrating soda pop. Really.

Mix astronaut ice cream with rice - a roni

― mike hanle y, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

beans, eggs adn cheddar chesse! Jim, were you trying to suffocate yourself?

― Chupa-Cabras, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I left the windows open for the next few days

― electric sound of jim, Sunday, 28 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I dunno why but pancake mix with burgers makes me think of a Shami kebab sort of concoction. In which case it is obviously an extremely good idea.

― misterjones, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

make hush puppies with strawrbelly

― mike hanle y, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

sweet syrup made from Guiness; I will post recipe forthwith

The Geoff-Chupa exchange followed by Jim's first sentence made me larff nonstop (and so did dr vick).

My most recent experimentation was an attempt at chicken curry using turmerc and cardamon. It was suprisingly successful.

― Dan Perry, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Surely these are quite standard curry ingredients?

― Emma, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes they are, but I'd never tried to make a curry before and was very pleased that I didn't mess it up, especially since I wasn't using a recipe.

― Dan Perry, Monday, 29 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(Also, we didn't have any curry powder.)

one year passes...

Fried Cheese
cheese that's good to fry

Those needed to be stitched together somehow.

Anyway I don't have any butter (derrr) so I put oil on my game hen and now it's making noises in the oven distinctly like a little chicken, all sputtering and squawking! Have I brought it back to life?

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 21:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Peanut butter and bacon on white bread.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 21:16 (twenty-two years ago)

That chicken is gonna be pissed.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 21:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Fuck. It looks a little gray. My snap hypothesis is that oil penetrates the skin too much and makes everything soggy. It's buzzing about under the surface I can see it.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 21:18 (twenty-two years ago)

But maybe it's gonna be good! I'M GETTING EXCITED

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 21:21 (twenty-two years ago)

One thing I like to do with game hen is to smear some berry-based jelly on the top when it's roasting which forms a nice glaze.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 21:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I am going to be shattered if this doesn't work.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 21:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Tracer, as long as you're using olive oil and some salt on yr. bird, it should be OK.

― suzy (suzy), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 21:31 (twenty-two years ago)

i put mashed potatoes between two pieces of steak today and ate it like a sandwich

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 21:32 (twenty-two years ago)

That is the most manly thing I've ever heard!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 21:33 (twenty-two years ago)

i felt like a more masculine luther vandross.

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 21:35 (twenty-two years ago)

(p.s. new personal low)

― fiddo centington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 21:36 (twenty-two years ago)

The skin wasn't crispy enough so I threw it right through the window. Glass everywhere, crck-pssssshhhhhh!! No just kidding, suzy's right. So is nickalicious's last post.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 21:37 (twenty-two years ago)

*NEVER* put jolly ranchers in the microwave!!!

But marshmallows in the microwave... that is something else. (More as an art happening than food though, it depends on how clean your microwave is.)

― Anna (Anna), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 22:07 (twenty-two years ago)

nine years pass...

grapes, you can just put them in things, who knew
