Rank Anything You Feel Like Ranking

And here's the top seven worst alcohols:

1. 99% of white wine (esp. oaky ones, Chardonnay, i.e.)
2. Liqueurs, other than the orange-y classics (Aperol, Campari, both acceptable)
3. Bourbon (syrupy whiskey? keep it)
4. Heavy reds-- they taste nice but bring heartburn and a maudlin mood
5. Anises
6. IPAs
7. Vodka-forward cocktails (although: a night of shots of potato vodka, such as Luksosowa, and the psychedelic hangover, is a once-every-couple-years luxury)

Here are my favourite three cocktails:

1. Corpse Reviver #2
2. Pimm's Cup
3. White Negroni

Alsatian white is generally excellent.

And North American takes on English ale are almost systematically better than the real thing (or rather, what’s left of it seeing as an ABV above 3.8% is viewed as hard liquor there).

IPA is good not bad despite its connotations on this side of the pond.

I'm off alcohol for a month too, but my list would have sweet port/sherry and grand mariner and baileys and other grandma drinks near at the top because I have the tastes of someone's great-grandmother.

dark krusovice and becharovka and a decent home-made slivovice would be up there too

Oh, stick tweets under lists

they haven't made a ranking low enough for how i feel about tweets

the worst thing I have done during lockdown is start reading buzzfeed listicles

Always way too low on yr list fgti! wildly underrated imho

also I almost never drink now but when I do, it's (usually) michelada time baby

fgti you might enjoy Calvados if you’ve never tried it

have to disagree with this. some nice stodgy CAMRA-friendly ale served one slightly cool from a cask is usually better than BRIT BASTARD BITTER or whatever

fgti you might enjoy Calvados if you’ve never tried it

Seconded. I should've included it in my list, just ahead of gin.

Oh yeah I kind of thought of Calvados in the same brainbreath as "cognac/poire/grappa". I was trying to remember what it was called as I was typing but just thought "all the fruity high-% liquors go here"

Grappa is my wife, though, I intend to stay dry and healthy til I'm 80 and then just drink grappa all day til I'm stinky and dead

Disagree with "North American takes on English ale" being better-- nothing nicer than a cask ale served at the correct temperature in a smelly damp pub. Though my controp abt this is that the Guinness they make in North America is slightly better than actual Guinness

1. Bourbon
1. Scotch
1. Beer

back in my drinking days, the only reason i'd drink an ipa is to get hammered faster. oftentimes, i'd chug whilst holding my nose. never understood how anybody could drink that schitt and talk about the flavors and aroma and blech, no, stop. it tastes like how the trash bag that's been sitting in the sun for several hours smells.

there was an australian beer that the liquor shop up the street from me wold occasionally stock and it was excellent, esp on hot days. think it was coopers? was really expensive. preferred that or any dark beers. even the cheapest dark lager or whatever was usually pretty good to me. or, when it was on sale, hendrick's gin. but that was always rare; a treat when it did happen though, to be sure.

haven't had a drink in five years now? i can't remember. it's been that long.

it’s based on a variety of factors, a rubric, if you will.

Top ten "made at home from scratch" follies

1. French fries
2. Pizza
3. Bhaji/pakora
4. Pho
5. Battered fish
6. Pie
7. Chicken wings
8. Sushi
9. Suckling pig

Obv that doesn't include pre-prepared (i.e. frozen) versions of the aforementioned

haha, what was the french fry folly?

i had a frozen pizza folly recently, for sure. let me dig up that photo...

that is the funniest fucking thing i've seen in months

That is the most horrifying picture I've ever seen, congrats

OH MY GOD KARL MALONE NO

ftr I've never made French fries at home.. my brother did once and it was so annoying, both the prep of the potatoes, the smell/effort of the deep frying, and (most of all) the knowledge that our French fry desires could've been resolved with a five-minute drive to any nearby fast food restaurant and a few bucks

On a related note:

Something that will never be as good homemade as it is, from a bottle: ketchup

Making it is super stinky, too, in my experience

Pho broth from scratch, or any beef broth, doesn't seem to be worth the effort. It took me a long time to get Asian soups in general right. Having the right serving bowls is important. Unlike Euro-soups, it's more about assembling things prepared separately than developing flavors together.

i tagged @homeruninn on that pizza post a few months ago, and they didn't even bother to reply. jerks. i still love their pizza, upside-down or otherwise.

LOL karl no!!!

if you've ever had a plain cheese home run inn pizza, straight out of the freezer plastic wrap, you know it pretty much looks the same on the top and bottom. i'm surprised it doesn't happen to people every month or so! then again, i feel the same about car crashes...

I make a couple of gallons of beef stock 2x/year, def worth the effort.

km take it to the 420 thread

may the first stone be thrown by whoever has not put a pizza upside-down in the oven, i say

i think i will take it to that thread though :)

How did the pizza taste tho

Chicken stock is a staple imo, I roast a chicken once a week and make stock out of the carcass. Bone broth is easy and good, too. Beef stock is generally less successful but usually OK-- in particular, making the effort to make a good homemade consommé is extremely worth it. I have succeeded in making good pork-based stock at home for ramen and beef-based stock at home for pho, but subsequently failed at both, and gave up; given that they're both widely available and delicious and inexpensive at restaurants, and consistently more reliable and better, I consider them both kitchen follies

I am mostly curious how you caught it in time to lay some foil down but not to flip it back over.

And also if it got eaten.

> I make a couple of gallons of beef stock 2x/year, def worth the effort.

That's kinda what my conclusion was - it was so much effort, I should have made gallons of the stuff instead of two ziplock bags. To that extent, it's like deep frying - it doesn't scale down well.
