Is a paneer quarter pounder like that Thailand Burger King real cheeseburger that’s just 20 slices of cheese?

The collaboration you didn’t know you needed this Festive season… DUNKIN’ X Bisto! A combination of two powerhouses in the world of food bring you a festive special that’s too delicious (and unique) to miss.
Presenting a hand finished donut topped with sage & onion stuffing, lashings of Bisto gravy and filled with a delicious apple sauce. DUNKIN’ UK’s new “Aah! DUNKIN’” is a delightful fusion of sweet and savoury, classic and modern, crunchy and smooth. It’s the Bisto of both worlds.

xp Bisto is a brand of gravy powder here. You mix the powder (or granules, I guess) with juices from the roast meat. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisto
― mojo dojo casas house (gyac), Thursday, 14 December 2023 21:07 (four months ago) link
That's what my googling revealed, and I thought, That can't possibly be right.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 14 December 2023 21:09 (four months ago) link
Oh it’s delicious tbh, or at least the powder is. Think granules are when you don’t use it with meat juices.
― mojo dojo casas house (gyac), Thursday, 14 December 2023 21:17 (four months ago) link
I get that, but on a donut?
I thought it was a misspelling of "Bistro."
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 14 December 2023 21:21 (four months ago) link
Sounds like a limited edition gimmick product ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
― mojo dojo casas house (gyac), Thursday, 14 December 2023 21:31 (four months ago) link
*ahem* A hand finished limited edition gimmick product.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 14 December 2023 21:33 (four months ago) link
G is correct. Bisto is very good for instant gravy but it has no business ever being anywhere near a donut gimmick or otherwise.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 14 December 2023 22:41 (four months ago) link
The choc sauce/fries thing reminds me of how people dip the fries in the shakes at Wendy's. Isn't that a thing? I'd try that too.
― Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 14 December 2023 22:43 (four months ago) link
Yeah, def a thing. Personally never done that, but know quite a few people that are regular Wendy's frosty fry dippers.

today as an experiment i recycled a whole boxful of grounds, to try and get a second cups-worth from them
why would you do this to yourself? it's like smoking a refry you found in an ash tray. I think grounds make pretty good compost/fertilizer
― beard papa, Friday, 15 December 2023 20:42 (four months ago) link
Yeah mine go in the compost.

Brewing coffee is an extraction process. You can’t extract twice.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good thermal carafe? The one we have (Thermos branded) has been losing its heat retention, for some reason, but when I researched replacements all the recommended ones (Fellow, Hario) seemed way too small, with capacities around 600mL. We usually drink about four cups a day, total, so I was thinking something that could handle closer to a liter in capacity.

I was just talking to another middle school parent about the bizarre Stanley craze among pre-teen girls. Apparently the same marketing whiz who revived crocs is behind it.
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Sunday, 7 January 2024 03:51 (four months ago) link
If your old thermos is losing its insulating properties you could try giving it a thorough cleaning so the reflective glass interior works at maximum efficiency or else wrap it in a further insulating layer. Or both. If those don't work, replace it.
― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Sunday, 7 January 2024 04:12 (four months ago) link
Yeah, maybe I'll give it a good clean.
The Stanley thing, the story I heard is some Mormon mom in Utah spread a viral video of her ice staying frozen in one of those things after a car fire, which prompted a rush to buy the thermoses. Now they have limited edition models and Starbucks tie-ins and people are lining up at Target to buy them, and so on. But maybe the fresh marketing approach preceded the viral video? I've also heard the cup's trendy spread was related to "Mormon soda culture." Did you know some Mormons drink a concoction called "dirty soda," which is a mix of soda and milk? I thought Laverne DeFazio was the only one that did that.
