Actually, a lot of biscuits do suck. But not categorically. Good biscuits are a sign of civilization. And good gravy with chunks of sausage in it can make even bad biscuits tolerable.

May 21, 20196 yr Can't get real Italian food in the US... Just because your Ganny was from the old country doesn't mean you can just add garlic, pancetta, and cream to pasta to make Carbonara. Carbonara doesn't contain ANY garlic, cream, or pancetta! This is but one example. Edited May 21, 20196 yr by Loco

Perhaps, but Carbonara is a Roman dish made from Guanciale not pancetta. I live in an area with a lot of Italians (from Italy not Italian Americans) They will allow that it's a reasonable substitute... but it's not the real thing. I had to order guanciale from Amazon. And don't even get me started on cream or butter in Cacio e Pepe

May 21, 20196 yr It's the Great American melting pot. We'll take your culinary culture and tradition, and twist it however we like. Carbonara gets cream and pancetta. Chicken tacos are called fajitas. Meat-filled Czech pastries are called kolaches. Dogs and cats living together, etc. Because 'Murica!

The Malaysian-Malay word for the sauce was kicap or kecap (pronounced "kay-chap"). That word evolved into the English word "ketchup".[8] English settlers took ketchup with them to the American colonies.[1]

Both have great Italian grocery stores (well I know Dallas does - pretty sure Houston does too) where you can pick up some guanciale.

May 25, 20196 yr celery is loaded with insoluble fiber that will keep your ‘testines clean. it’s priceless. Great. Because of this, there’s gonna be like 20 Surly posters who spend the weekend with a celery stalk stuck up their ass. Which is a good 3-4 more than usual.
May 25, 20196 yr It shouldn’t be, but they way most places make it (by adding egg as an emulsifier, or just using a mayo base) it is....Thats what i was referring to not your opinion...i hate places that put some seasoning in mayo and called it aioli....Guess its one of those trivial things that grinds my gears
May 25, 20196 yr I thought aioli was egg and olive oil?Whereas mayo was egg and vegetable oil.Aioli is an emulsion that traditionally used garlic as the emulsufier. Also if it doesnt have a healthy amount of garlic in it then its not aioli. Egg yolks have been used to ease the emulsion for a longwhile now but it still needs to have garlic and olive oil to be an aioli
