Food That Tastes Better/Worse Over Time
I love cereal, but will throw it away if it turns soggy. Hideous blah! That give me about 5 minutes to wolf it down!
Homemade soups/stew for some reason tastes even better the next day.
French Fries, any kind tastes Gr8! For about 3 to 7 minutes.

Re: Food That Tastes Better/Worse Over Time
Anyone ever tried Reeses Puff cereal? Seems like a bowl of brown sugar-balls . I'd like to try her though! Well before she eats that big ass bowl

I can't fathom eating cereal that's 5 or 6 minutes old.

Re: Food That Tastes Better/Worse Over Time
I'm kinda hooked on this chick now. She's crazy on eating, she must be crazy in other ways too!;D
Definitely a female that likes challenges!! Baby is a foxy mama & dig that accent.
https://youtu.be/dAFlWPvckhc
But I wouldn't touch her after that meal...well at least for a few days. Probably let out fart bubbles that make the bed sheets rise..

Re: Food That Tastes Better/Worse Over Time
Chinese takeout is fantastic the next day, even if it is cold.
Red wine. Cracking the bottle open earlier before drinking makes a huge difference with most.
And yes homemade soups/stews often taste better the next day but so does home made Chilli (Con Carne) and Home made Lasagna on the second bake is off the charts delish.

Yeah Chilli!!
Certain pizza- if heated in the oven.
For some reason microwaving pizza just comes out soggy-crust.
While I'm not a fan of franchise pizza, like Domino's -I do like their thin crust pizza. (not a lot of dough or calories) But IMO- awful in the microwave -same day or next.

I like stale biscuits when they go soft. Ginger biscuits and shortbread are my personal favourites.

Re: Food That Tastes Better/Worse Over Time
I think most takeaway that has a sauce tastes better the day after. Proper chance to marinate I guess. I'm no expert when it comes to takeaway cooking, but in my head I see a big pot of stuff cooking and then your ingredients, be that chicken, prawn or whatever you're having are added at the death (with a dollop of special stuff) to make it a chicken or prawn whatever to order. May not be that way. But I dont imagine my particular dish is lovingly crafted from scratch. That extra time all the ingredients get to spend together makes the world of difference.
One of the best Indians Ive ever had was a cheap as chips buffet type setup in a little place in Thatcham. The lamb curry was cooking for hours and tasted ridiculously good.
Prawn crackers. Big fluffy bastards from the Chinese. The day after, slightly stale. Beautiful.

Re: Food That Tastes Better/Worse Over Time
Well I've got tonight's order all planned
Hot & spicy chicken starter
Cheese naan
Lemon rice
Chicken & saag vindaloo
I'm on the beer though and its going down a fucking treat so I'll probably only have a bit of my vindaloo before I go to bed, there is every chance that I will wake up at 2 or 3am and go and monster the rest while half asleep, if not then I've got breakfast sorted, love me a cold curry in the morning.
I'll probably leave the starter for the F1 quallies tomorrow.

Re: Food That Tastes Better/Worse Over Time
Reheat left over pizza on a cast iron skillet, just trust me here ;D. Used to do a thing when making a sandwich where’d I’d make two. Second one got those stacker pickles added, wrap in tin foil and leave in fridge overnight. Real good. I can’t do the ‘warm up your coffee’ in the microwave if it goes cold. Nope, fresh cup a must. As far as cereal I remember Corn Pops and lucky charms were just nasty if they sat too long. Actually stank up the kitchen.

Cast iron skillets definitely solve most problems. And I could never understand the people who microwave Pizza. They are just left with a gummy slop.
I remember those Lucky charms but the marshmallow charms were still good even after a long time in the milk. It was the oat part or the cereal part that would just turn to mush

Are you referring to those big ass skillets grandmom always used?:rolleyes: Yeah, gues it is time to invest into a real one as opposed to those walmart 3 for $19.99...handles & shit will fall off in a year or two lol!
As far as cereal they all taste bad if left too long soggy cereal? nah not for me.

Re: Food That Tastes Better/Worse Over Time
Alright I'm def not starting a thread for it but...what's up with air fryers?! All I see are raves and recipes that basically consist of only cooking times. If my grandma saw her offspring frying chicken in something called an air fryer she may rise and just keel over again. But they sound quite efficient..
Corn and flour tortillas as severely underrated. Especially on a skint week. Fry them fold them stuff them, whatever. Be amazed what you can make quality tostados with. Homemade chips too.

I have my own cast iron tortilla press and make my own, we eat Mexican food weekly as its fresh and vibrant. Nothing nicer than homemade hot corn tortillas with home made salsa and guacamole and of course soured cream.
Been to Mexico many times and love the food and people.

Re: Food That Tastes Better/Worse Over Time
Air fryers are healthy and cheaper than using an oven. We have a big one but they are not large enough for the food we want to put in there.
Have been using them for the last 4 years.
-
Re: Food That Tastes Better/Worse Over Time
I was skeptical of air fryers at first, of course having been used to a lifetime of frying in some kind of oil. ;D
To my surprise, however, some things come out rather well from air fryers. My wife has become quite adept at it... and french fries and wings come out great!
Microwaves aren't good at reheating some things (they become soggy)... and air fryers are a good alternative.

Re: Food That Tastes Better/Worse Over Time
Air fryers are good for some things, just like microwaves are.but they’re not the coming of the next messiah.
Some things are better deep fried for a reason.

Re: Food That Tastes Better/Worse Over Time
https://www.maytag.com/blog/kitchen/...of%20the%20oil.
"Deep fryers will give a traditional taste and are best for thick or wet batters, as wet batter may drip through the air fryer basket before it sets. Foods with dry exteriors work best in an air fryer and can still create crispy, caramelized foods using a fraction of the oil."
Makes sense. BTW... this conversation is making me hungry. :feedme:

Re: Food That Tastes Better/Worse Over Time
yeah they are a big deal lately -- Master how "big" FFS is the food you'd like to put in there?

Re: Food That Tastes Better/Worse Over Time
Air fryers are just convection/toaster ovens:

Mexican food is just shit wrapped in other shit.

That's what popped to my mind, really suited for quick snack fry ups. The size is pretty limited from what I've seen and you cannot 'stack' or make a full 3,4 person meal. Microwave is all reheating here. Maybe scrambled eggs in there, which really aren't bad. And reheat teas of coffees.

True Al definitely. We used to do that more when we lived on the West coast and homemade tamales. Think the older I got my patience ran out though ;D. In the habit now of using larger ones for homemade crunch wraps etc. Give me some grilled peppers, romas, steak, onions and quac and it's on! Mexican food is stacked with options and variations.

A proper Christmas cake should be in a tin and fed (injected with booze) for many weeks.

Re: Food That Tastes Better/Worse Over Time
My neighbor had a pound cake, just like a yellow cake inside. It had a few raisins in the Cake part. It was a double layer cake. In between the layers he had poured Myers dark Jamaican rum. On the top he made a banana buttercream icing.
What happened was, he left the cake out on his table for about 1 week. Uncovered. So this cake became a bit dehydrated and firm. The icing on the top became kind of like crunchy, and the cake became almost crunchy. It had the most exquisite taste and texture, much better than when it was fresh.

Sounds like leaving a King Cake out for a while. We have them coming out the arse right now with Mardi Gras. The sugar hardens on the filled ones, I'm a sucker for cinnamon apple, but warm it up and taste remains. Never thought of Jamaican rum though :-X. Hey there's always tomorrow.

Happy Mardi Gras. Cinnamon apple sounds dandy. I could warm that up and dip it into some of that rum.
