Overcooked Foods


Lost In Xanadu

Eggs - I like mine over easy. Too much and they lose all potential of tasting all right to me.

 

Grilled Sandwiches - Like, when one side gets too dark... even if it's not quite burnt. Sometimes I will throw that slice out to the birds and grill a new one.

 

Hamburgers - And meat in general. Particularly beef. Some people like well-done, and that's great, but as for me, it's medium-well or medium-rare if I feel like it. Otherwise it loses all the true flavour.

What about foods that you like over cooked?????

I only ask because my wife will order her hashbrowns and bacon "extra crispy" at restaurants and when I cook breakfast at home. To me, that is just plain over cooked and I can't stand it but she can't eat either of those any other way.

My grandma would always make grilled cheese in the toaster oven for me - a slice of bread with cheese on it. She would always burn the cheese and I kind of got used to it and even craved it after a while.

grits.. a little lumpy... laugh.gif

Rice (Outside Sushi, I loathe sticky rice)

I love the stuff for certain dishes. I hit PCC every now and then to load up on their sticky rice. It works great in a bowl smothered with teriyaki chicken and scallions. You can really load up the chopsticks with a wonderful bite of equal parts rice and chicken. Sticky rice also works great in certain desserts if you sweeten it up with some sugar and vinegar.

A friend of mine convinced me to re-try Brussels Sprouts the other day.

Far, far, far better than the last ones.

And these came from the dining hall.

(The last ones, from a middle school cafeteria.)

I wonder how good legit Brussels Sprouts would taste.
