I think 95% of hamburgers are kind of terrible too. Eating crappy overdone ground meat for no reason.
― Yerac, Friday, 23 March 2018 21:31 (six years ago) link
Steaks are also boring. Thirty mouthfuls of the same mediocre taste and texture. But people seem to genuinely enjoy eating them.

I like steak tartar and i like steak rare and in small quantities.

i love burgers
my preference is rare/bloody meats, but i'll eat them if i know it's from a good quality source, and this is rarely the case
one thing i love about japan is their meats, i'll eat almost raw japanese meats and eggs any time

If you cut down on the ghee or oil when making it, it's actually really healthy.

chilean empanadas not fried and have the beef with raisins and hard-boiled egg? because that is definitely classic.
― cthulhu original (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 23 March 2018 21:57 (six years ago) link
a bit annoying to assemble, though, because you have to be careful about the number of raisins and bits of egg that sneak into each one.

yeah those are empanadas de pino, i think they're pretty great

some indian food is like dehydrating vegetables at high heat with a bunch of spices and very little oil/ghee. it can be healthy.
― cthulhu original (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 23 March 2018 22:01 (six years ago) link
also daal seems to be healthy unless there's tons of ghee in the tadka, but adding butter to soup is the best way to move along the healthy/delicious curve

Salteñas are the best
― F# A# (∞), Friday, 23 March 2018 22:03 (six years ago) link
that said, my favorite indian food is fried potato and cheese balls + gravy, so you may have a point

these Salteñas look like calzones. they are huge.

Chilean empanadas have some serious issues with their dough. I've had a lot of bad empanadas here where the dough is way too dense or there is just too much of it.
― Yerac, Friday, 23 March 2018 22:24 (six years ago) link
I also think the bread here is kind of terrible in general. But there is an Eric Kayser near where I live.

too much dough is my problem with them
saltenas are meaaaty
i have the same problem with non-mexican tamales -- too much dough
i love that mexican tamales are like 50% meat

totally agree about burgers and steaks, not my thing at all. I love other meat but those are boring

empanada dough is delicious. it is full of lard and butter. it is delicious pie crust.

"I'm so pleased to have found this channel. This is what Lasagna should be about: meat, tomato puree and mince with onions. No bechamel sauce, no cheese and no herbs to confuse the taste buds. I like my food to simply exist in my mouth without drawing attention to it's self by having flavour. "

One would think restaurants that serve steak sandwiches would've figured out by now that the steak needs to be cut up into tiny pieces. FFS, such a waste.

I have had delicious burgers and steaks but it is probably 3-5% of the ones I have had in my life. Most are pretty bleh.
― Yerac, Thursday, 11 October 2018 19:22 (five years ago) link
I think I just got irrationally angry at the amount of bad burgers I have had in my life.
― Yerac, Thursday, 11 October 2018 19:25 (five years ago) link
I feel like most of the time i know when I'm ordering a good burger.If I order a mediocre burger it's usually scratching a meat craving itch and I know what I'm getting (or not getting rather). Rarely order steak out. Just so easy to do well at home, and there's always tends to be something more interesting on the menu.
