#sweet AND savory dishes

[im-da-bronx]

"why do white people like cheese so much?" its because they can digest it. next question

#this is a very short post about the facinating evolution of lactose tolerance and its distribution across the world #technically a shitpost #but based in fact #shitpost #relatable #cheese is delicious. if you can stomach it #I mourn for those who will never truly get to enjoy cheese #its delicious but also not unhealthy for you #so you don't suffer eating kale or smth #also its so versatile! #sweet AND savory dishes #colombians put cheese in their hot cocoa #I have yet to try it but it sounds intriguing #cheese #anthropology #archaeology #biology #anatomy

Misc. photos from the past year or so ~

#image commentary in tags once again since they don't allow captions anymore and I feel weird using the alt text for that -- #1. napping bapy boye sneeping on his own foot as if it were a pillow #2. The little primrose that I have seems to bloom sporadically all year around as long as I bring it inside and don't let it freeze #in the winter. This was a flower that came up randomly like mid november lol #3. Rainbow where you can see a little bit of a second rainbow near the bottom of it :0 #4. CHILDREN.... love to see them..... #5. Halloween Candy ranking tierlist. not important enough to post on it's own. so throwing it in with one of these I guess lol #I am also not really a candy person at all and prefer bready stuff like cakes rather than chocolate bars (if I even have to have sweets #at ALL which usually I prefer savory food). I suspect the apple is controversial but.. I do love apples .... huzzah #actually am having applle and peanut butter snack right now as I'm writing this lol #6. Various bowls/cups/etc. that I got from a store at COMPLETELY different times like.. years apart from each other #yet at some point realized that they all mostly match in paint color and seem to be part of the same pattern #But I totally didnt make that connection until a few years ago when I was putting up dishes. I just bought them all invidually because it's #like 'oh cool! a cat' *1 year later* 'oh cool! a cat!' etc. lol.. I guess it must be a popular design if it's been around being sold that #long. #7. carne asada burrito and matcha bubble tea... oughhgh.... again one of my very rare meals where I actually go and get something.. #probably my favorite meal currently. Something about the Chronic Anemia makes me crave beef burritos madly despite only having one #maybe twice a year or so ghjbhj.. plus the beans.... onions.... many of my Diet Forbidden foods... Also of course the little aishas #are there.... somehow they shall split the meal together even though it's like 10x bigger than their bodies.. they are also hungry #and vastly anemic... huzzah to them... #8. I've had this shirt for a long time but it fits very weird so I can never find a way to use it in outfits?? But I recently had #an appointment where a doctor needed to be able to look at my back and it's one of the only actual Shirts that I have (mostly i just own #long robes or tunics or jumper dress type of things that would be hard to lift up or etc. like... I dont even own a single normal 't-shirt' #or anyting aside from one giant tshirt that I sleep in in the summer lol.) So I wore this there.. I forget how much I love the pictures on #it.. how pleasant... little hummingbird... AND I think one of the flowers is supposed to be columbine ... ! #photo diary

clarification: ketchup or bbq sauce on meat does not count for the purpose of this poll, nor do sweeter veg like sweet pickles, carrots or caramelized onion. i'm talking meat with fruit or honey or maple syrup or sweet glazes.

#food poll #if it wasn't clear: i basically want sweet meat dishes every hour of the minute of the second yum yum yum #and i have a person in my life who loooooves to react with disgust and bafflement at very minor sweet meat combos #like having a forkful of pancake and sausage at the same time. like the pancake has to be 'dessert' after the rest of savory breakfast #also i'm sorry i spelled monte cristo wrong lmao i can't change it

my mom's college is sooo nostalgic 😭

#i used to come here as a kid #when we had a holiday but mom and dad had jobs to mom would carry me and brother here #she has her own huge department and its separated from other staff rooms #and there's a huge blackboard that students would draw on with colorful chalks its still there 😭😭 #and frames of different anatomical structures #and the kitchen inside #and menu cards prepared by students all over #she's home science and english teacher so she has it all a bit of nutrition stitching and sewing cooking medicine table manners #chemistry biology literally everything #and the students prepared files with pretty covers and id pick out all the decorations from the files when they passed out #and in practicals mom would make them prepare tastiest dishes everyone got a sweet and one savory to prepare #and mom always has craziest idea she loves cooking so you can imagine the dishes i got to taste #the glass and foil paintings are still there 😭😭🥹🥹 #and the cutlery #there are lot more wall hangings now #and the one huge center table is reduced to two small tables #and the department has got one new teacher shes so young #i mean its not so grand but ofc its grand it contains my childhood #the canteen and bookstall don't work anymore no idea why the owners abandoned them after covid #im so 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 #im meeting my school friends here then we'll go shopping

does anyone else have this thing where you can only eat certain foods in the right context? (right in the way where it makes sense for you)

for example one of my biggest texture nightmares is mushy rice. I can't eat it if it's mushy, really bad to the point where it can ruin my appetite for days

however I p much devour suman (steamed sticky rice)

another example is I can't eat pork belly with mashed potatoes or like a ~western side dish, I have to eat it with rice bc I grew up only eating it with rice. so the thought of eating it w like mashed potatoes or mac and cheese makes me ill

#i think maybe my brain is just so wired to how it perceives food in context #even when its the same exact food? #like okay maybe bc suman tends to be a dessertish? type dish #to me sticky rice is only okay when its sweet not savory bc my brain said so #idk!!! #its rly annoying... #food talk tw

my toxic trait is that i have an uncanny ability to never fuck up anything that i bake so i think every baked treat is super easy to make sorry do you still think im hot

#i can and absolutely have fucked up savory dishes to the point where a couple were not edible #but a sweet treat? a baked good? they ALWAYS turn out great #my mom looking at my first ever puff pastry that came out perfectly which she can’t do for shit: this upsets me.

Hey mags, do you think a current aki would work as a chef?

yes, I love that idea!!!

I think aki really enjoys cooking and food in general, and he loves learning new recipes at home, but he wouldn't really consider making a profession out of it until you mention it to him... if you're eating dinner together and you randomly mention it, saying something like, you're really good at cooking aki, y'know, you should become a chef, then maybe he'd think about a profession like that.

I can picture him working at a fancy restaurant... or perhaps as a private chef?

#he's best at making savory dishes #not so good at sweet foods or baking #the chef aki art tho where he's making a cake...... cute #what about chef aki who specializes in wedding cakes? #or wedding meals in general #and he's secretly a hopeless romantic #hmmm..... I like that too #ask mags

#somewhat related bc im thinking of making soup later but i just remembered #when i went out to eat a full course meal with my coworkers and one of the dishes was this like #really good cream soup with popcorn added on top. was interesting bc its so unexpected but very nice combo of #creamy + crunchy and sweet + savory #venspeaks

More food from over the years

#selfie #i can tell you something about every one of these #the sushi was like a spicy deluxe type. i bought it bc I had never seen that fancy packaging before #pictures 2 and 9 are both $5 schnitzel and chips. back when they were $5 not $7 #god it's such a great deal. and it's so delicious #third pic is either Christmas or easter dinner. ham and potato salad and red salad #which is made with baked beans onion pickles sauerkraut potato and beetroot #it ties together really well #fourth pic is a satay chicken roll I got from a restaurant that closed down like a week later without warning #those are whole-ass peanuts btw. I remember this so well bc it was during my internship which was during my first year of tafe #the fifth picture is spicy ramen out if a packet. and when I say spicy I mean fucking SPICY #as in tears-streaming-down-my-face spicy #pic six is a steak my mum made me #the seventh picture is a mexican schnitzel. it's avocado sweet chilli sauce and cheese on top of a schnitzel and topped w jalapenos #the salad next to it is leafy greens with julienned carrots #picture eight is a pub schnitzel with just the richest gravy. so dark and savory and delicious bwaaaaah #picture ten is a takeaway schnitzel I got from a local pizza place/italian kitchen. it's notable because the schnitzel itself was bland #like it didn't taste like anything. it was bizarre #the dish on the left is called the [franchise name] hero. it's garlic bread topped with spicy salami and cheese

#blah #food #so personally i throw peanuts on any khmer/asian dish i make #they’re very savory to me #i love them on ramen #i grew up in the US but i ate a lot of khmer food #but i found out recently my friend can only associate them with sweet things and she grew up in russia #it’s just interesting

#It's so weird to see Western cooking / aesthetic is so obsessed with cinnamon as a spice???? #I've seen posts and stories and recipes gush over the flavour of cinnamon being heavenly and warm and comforting and what not #Considering its one of the least used and least desirable flavors in Indian/South Asian cooking in general??? #Lololol the British really came and colonised our country over trading cinnamon (initially) of all things 😭 #Anyway. #Cardamom. #Now THAT'S a spice I wholeheartedly approve of #The flavour the warm aroma the versatility the robustness #Is just Unparalleled #You can use it in everything #From chai to sweets to curries to savory dishes like biryani #It's a champ 🔥 #Personal #I've been thinking abt it for sometime #It's just a lil bit funny to me lol
