Food Fight: Mayo Discourse

Because garlic is good. Guac needs garlic.

 

i don't thiiiink we put garlic in our guac? my uncle's family recipe is the one we use, and it calls for onions, tomatoes, jalepeno, cilantro, and lime juice

 

A) why would you put black pepper in guac
B) adobo seasoning blend also belongs

 

Any savory paste is improved by the addition of cumin.

 

I've had guac that had cream cheese in it. Was quite good but i don't think i'd class it as guac per se.

 

Avocado is already the cream cheese of vegetables

 

Ok but what about those maniacs who use peas instead of avacados

 

Also pedantic but: avacados are a fruit

 

Why? Peas are a respectable vegetable but they can´t compare to avocados.

 

A fruit can also be a vegetable, one's a botanical term and the other is culinary.

 

Oh, okay. TIL

 

They will be the first up against the wall when the revolution comes

 

Here’s a probably controversial opinion: buttercream frosting is the Worst

 

It's too damn hefty and overrated, agree. Whipped cream in various flavours is virtually always preferable.

 

i like cream cheese frosting, although it's not as versatile as whipped cream

 

Buttercream in reasonable proportions of icing-to-cake is great, but those froofy monstrosities with twice the weight of piped ruffled frosting to baked goods are an affront to God and the Devil alike

But seriously anything except a nice light layer of orange buttercream on my carrot cake and I will end you.

 

I can't say it's the worst but it is fair that it's the worst type of icing. I feel like it's the candy corn of icing. It's good for the first little bit but just. Bad as you go on.

 

I feel like some of y'all are giving fondant far more credit than it generally deserves by putting buttercream on the actual bottom. It's used as icing, but it's primarily a construction material and tastes accordingly. Buttercream may not be as structurally sound, but it can at least be applied thinly enough to improve the taste of something, while fondant almost always only makes it look pretty.

 

I’m not the biggest fan of buttercream but fondant is basically edible rubber cement, i can’t even with it

 

I'm sorry it's fucking WHAT? Whomst the FUCK is using fondant and calling it icing? That. No. Absolutely not.
