Yeah, I’m aware of (and use) the not-quite-phonetic alphabet, but when you have three extremely common English words that express the exact same phonemes, I would use them instead. toe-may-toe, toe-ma-toe 😉

She was rightly taking the piss.

Dannis, if it’s not nailed to the table, you’d give it a try. The rest of us will take a pass on chicken feather meat created by an art school student as his degree project. One Cronenberg patty was enough...

Glen Powell, of Glen and Friends Cooking, also did a Marlboro Pie and didn’t like it. So it may just be that the pie fell into disuse because it’s not very good.

I’m like a broken record on the topic, but Canadian super vlogger Glen Powell of Glen and Friends Cooking literally put out a Marlboro Pie recipe last week. He... didn’t like it, in the most politely Canadian way he and his wife Julie could put it. I especially love his #FAIL videos, because you see him try so hard to…

This feels more like advertorial than a regular post. There’s zero attempt at trying to justify the statement that Angus cattle “are known to produce higher quality beef.” Angus cattle are the primary beefer breed in the United States because they grow fast and are well-marbled - it’s about economically producing a…

Yeah - smoked cured pork loin doesn’t sound as appetizing! 😀

My youngest loves pineapple and Canadian bacon on pizza - we went to one of those “build your own pizza” places and he chose those ingredients himself and fell in love. I don’t think he had any idea that there was such a pizza (I certainly didn’t tell him) but re-created it on the spot. He has autism and really loves…

Time for another shout out for my favorite Canadian YouTube cook - Glenn Powell of Glenn and Friends Cooking. He has an entire playlist of butter tart recipes - going back to what he thinks may have been the original (1900) butter tart recipe and showing how the recipe has changed over time. He even does a comparison…

Yeah, they “say” they aren’t going to mess with the meatballs, but you can’t even purchase them at the moment. All they have are the plant balls and chicken balls - and they are pushing those plant balls. You had to root around just to find the chicken versions but there were several freezers full of plant balls.

I watch a YouTube channel called Glenn and Friends Cooking (delightful! Canadian!) that does a weekly recipe from old cookbooks (called, appropriately enough, the Old Cookbook Show). The one constant refrain from all older cake / pudding recipes is the use of dates - it’s become an in-joke on the show that every baked …

It was somewhat tongue in cheek (as Indian food is a big thing, at least in the cities). I did mention pies, roasts and fish, which appears to be pretty much what you listed as well. I yield to no man my love of a good English meat pie or roast.

It’s unlikely that anyone will get caught or that they had enough insurance to cover the losses. It sucks that a GoFundMe is probably the only way to even try to make them whole.

I’ve eaten Indian food in America, Canada, London, St. Lucia and Barbados (!) and the American versions are not nearly as good, with a few exceptions. None of them are bad, but the British / ex-British spots are several steps above. The American versions are generally more simply spiced and seem to target an…

My sole confusion about this article was the idea that Britain had a cuisine other than Indian. (The occasional roast, meat pie or fish and chips aside.)

Apparently, it was developed by General Foods in 1975 to launch their new Jell-O pistachio pudding flavor and was called Pistachio Pineapple Delight.

Marnie should have Dannis Ree make up a batch.

I’m not sure this is an Irish or Catholic tradition as much as it’s a Chicago tradition, as we had both Green Stuff and Pink Stuff (more green than pink) when I was growing up. Our background is mostly German/English (I get a bunch of Scandinavian from my biological father’s side) with some Irish but we weren’t…

I’m a little confused by the whole footnote. This recipe is not significantly different in terms of ratios than a typical chocolate chip cookie. It’s roughly a 1:1.5:2 ratio in both cases (1 cup butter, 1.5 cups sugar, 2 cups flour). Betty’s cookies adds 3/4 cup of cocoa powder, so the flour goes down a little and the…

I’m digging the charitable aspects of The New Pizzateers (The Takeout’s own John Carruthers’ Crust Fund Pizza has 100% going to charity).
