The Easy/Breezy/Piece of Cake scale is kind of useless for determining how easy something is.

Honestly not sure I believe it’s easy to fit 15 different foods, not counting optional salt and pepper, on to one platter. And that’s leaving aside the question of where the fuck mini iced cinnamon buns come from

I grew up in a family that had serious raspberry patches, enough to feed us an all of our neighbors. I ate so many raspberries as a child that I grew sick of them. Now I am grateful to my parents for understanding those things

I like boiled eggs, cooked just enough so the yolks are firm without getting gray around the edges. I can eat them whole, halved or sliced up on egg and olive sandwiches with mayonnaise

I can't serve them by themselves as an appetizer to guests

I went for 'orange wedge' because I can eat that - but those are clearly slices and not wedges.

DIY like we have to build a farm and slaughter our own meat?

this week's box of crackers doesn't have a platter recipe on it :(

Cinnamon buns are the most exciting thing on the platter. They'd be my first selection if I came across this platter.

jmm, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 00:32 (three years ago) link

Sure I can’t disagree really but where do you get them if you’re going to make the platter? It’s a lot of work to make cinnamon buns and if you’re going to do that why make mini ones?

is right unfortunately (silby), Wednesday, 2 December 2020 00:35 (three years ago) link

i was going to say, the cinnamon buns are really throwing me off

call all destroyer, Wednesday, 2 December 2020 01:43 (three years ago) link

I make cinnamon buns by flinging paper at somebody who already has them

I thought they were those rolled up sliced sandwich odeurve things

make a sandwich with a sandwich

oh the pinwheels

i wonder how many people have seen the back of this cracker box and replicated this smorgasbord

map if there are any at all they’re pretty likely to be in Utah I should think

solid 15% of this meat and cheese platter is meat or cheese

true

in fact i remember spreads that were very similar to this whenever i visited my dad's parents, except:

grapes in stead of raspberries
black olives from a can instead of cinnamon buns
lil smokies instead of breakfast sausage patties

Whipped cream cheese is bullshit and we all know it

is right unfortunately (silby), Thursday, 3 December 2020 00:07 (three years ago) link

Really glad I pitched in and helped push the mini cinnamon buns over the top!

epistantophus, Thursday, 3 December 2020 00:12 (three years ago) link

✖ makes the most important point, I think

sound of scampo talk to me (El Tomboto), Thursday, 3 December 2020 00:46 (three years ago) link

It’s an interesting judgement call that they didn’t consider two different types of cream cheese to be worthy of falling under the heading “cheeses”

epistantophus, Thursday, 3 December 2020 00:51 (three years ago) link

why is it so damned difficult to say the word “halved”??

epistantophus, Thursday, 3 December 2020 00:54 (three years ago) link

whipped cream cheese is an excuse for selling you less cream cheese

Dan S, Thursday, 3 December 2020 01:51 (three years ago) link

Yeah I know I’m a sucker for paying the same amount for equal parts cream cheese and air, but I buy it anyway.

epistantophus, Thursday, 3 December 2020 02:06 (three years ago) link

I used a block of cream cheese recently to make crab rangoon

Dan S, Thursday, 3 December 2020 02:10 (three years ago) link

which is another 1970s recipe

Dan S, Thursday, 3 December 2020 02:12 (three years ago) link

whipped cream cheese IS bullshit but on the plus side it demands less destructive spreading
