| Didn't see a thread covering this, so...yeah. And, wasn't sure which was the best forum for it...anyways....
Food is good. I'm sure there's several here that are more skilled in the kitchen than I am (actually, I'd be worried if there weren't...  ); seemed appropriate that we could share recipes here. (probably should be stickied)
Here's my best: Oreo Fudge Line a 7" square baking pan in foil. Crush Oreos to powder (I've put them in a Zip-Lock bag, and used a rolling pin; I'd prefer to use a blender's puree setting) Combine sugar, butter, evaporated milk and salt in a medium, heavy-duty saucepan. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring frequently. Boil rapidly for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add marshmallows (or marshmallow creme), vanilla extract, and Oreo powder. Stir vigorously over very low heat until homogenous. Pour into prepared pan. Refridgerate until firm (*at least* two hours). Lift foil from pan. Remove foil. Cut to pieces (typically makes 49). |

| Okay. I'll be honest, I can't cook for shit. However.. I get creative when it comes to food.
My favorite food by FAR is shrimp salad. What's even better though.. is lobster salad. So you can change the shrimp around with lobster. It's wow, that food is devine. I just figured.. like.. I have shrimp right now.. and most people would probably have shrimp more likely than lobster. Ingrediants: Celery Scallions Shrimp Mayonaise Okay, you cut up the Celery into tiny pieces... you cut up the scallions into little pieces.. and you cut up the shrimp into little pieces. You mix them and add mayonaise. It depends on how much you want to make.. like how many ingrediants you need. Just make sure you have about the same of everything in the bowl.. but I think it tastes better if there's just a little bit more shrimp. It's meant for crackers... but I make sandwich's out of it... cause it's just THAT good. It's kind of similar to tuna salad... but trust me.. it's 2389479237846238746 times better. Shrimp rules. Oh, and the next time you're making ramen noodles add an egg. Just like.. crack an egg in it and let it cook. You have to cook the ramen like much longer than you would without the egg in it... so ya know, the egg gets cooked. But it's effing amazing if you do this. And if you're having oriental ramen.. add an egg AND soy sauce. Just, yummah. Oh and for hot chocoalate.. don't ever make it in boiling water again. Get a cup of milk... throw it in the microwave for like 3 minutes... and then add the hot chocolate to it. It kicks some serious ass. I showed this to all my friends and they all agree... Raina makes the BEST hot chocolate. So yeah... that's most of the food I know how to make good. I'll get my mom's recipe for stuffed mushrooms.. it's a bit more complex. But it nearly tops the shrimp salad. It just misses. |

I don't have a recipe to give, as I live off of food in a box, but I have a request. A long time ago, my mom made this tasty egg dish. I can't remember everything that was in it.. eggs, sausage, spinach, onions, some other stuff I'm sure. She put it all in this pan, toppped it off with cheese, and heated it in the oven. That's what I remember anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if there was more to it. Does this ring a bell for anyone? I'd love to get that recipe.Originally posted by WurlOh man, that's what I thought when I read the shrimp salad ingredients. The shrimp part had really got me interested. ;-; |

Originally posted by Yoshi Dude In swedish I'm pretty sure that's called a ugnspannkaka which translated means oven pancake. Googling for that though I only get some weird german thing which is not ugnspannkaka at all. So I can't really help. I could probably translate a recipe for ugnspannkaka if you want though? |

| Those would be some FANCY pancakes.
I'd say an omelette but those are cooked in pans, not in the oven... maybe some form of quiche? Was it served in slices? |

| Well, you usually serve those kind of oven pancakes max talked about in slices.
Square-formed slices. They´re quite delicious.  |

| This was served in square slices too.
Based on image googling, it could be a type of quiche.. it wasn't served like a pie, but that could just be due to laziness. 8D |

They´re one of my favorite food. |

| I'm guessing quiche then. Certainly not my favorite food but it's about as versatile as an omelette, so...
Ugnspannkaka translated is likely closer to omelette than pancake now that I think of it. |

Butter an oven pan 6. Put mix in pan 7. Put in oven for ~20 min 8. Ready when it has a yellowy brown color and is firm You normally add like bacon, onion, paprika and stuff like that to the mix.

Here's a recipe for onigiri, one of my favorite Japanese snacks ^^; This will make about 8 of them..
Prepare your filling if you need to. If you use salmon fillets instead of shake, salt it and let it sit for a bit (a couple of hours should do the trick). Remove the pits from your umeboshi and chop them up. Prepare your other fillings and ingrediants as necessary, such as cooking your rice, and toasting your nori if you need to. You should also mix your soy sauce and bonito/katsubushi flakes together, so that it can 'marinade', or soak in the soy sauce and pick up some of its flavor. A special note about cooking your rice: Cook the rice until it is ready to use, but do not overcook it or burn it. Make sure the rice is firm and sticky. Keep it inside your rice cooker until you need to use it, most should be insulative but if it is not, just put a cheesecloth over the top and put the cover back down to help keep in the heat. It's important that your rice dosn't get too cold or loose its quality, we need the rice to be firm and sticky! Just remember that! Also remember that if you don't want the rice to stick to your hands, make sure that they are damp. This is important! If you added salt to your salmon, you should rinse it off after a couple of hours. If you used shake, you don't have to worry about it...when your fish is all ready, you should grill it lightly for 5 minutes. Make sure you don't over-cook it! This step is important because if you did not grill it, and used raw fish, you would have a type of sushi instead! Take a handful of rice into your hand and press a tiny opening into the middle. Inside here, you can start to add in your fillings. If you used the chopped umeboshi, you can just fill it in as it is. If you used salmon, shake, eel, or another kind of fish, add a tiny drop of your soy sauce/flakes to the center of the opening before placing in the fish. Cover the opening with rice, then form the entire thing into a triangle shape (you can do a ball, if this is too difficult, too. But traditionaly we use a triangle). Wrap a peice of nori over the top and press it onto the back. You need to use the shiny side. If you used a ball, fold it over the bottom and press it on the middle. When you are done you can roll it over some toasted sesame seeds to coat it, or you can eat it as it is (but I recomend the seeds! they are very good with it) I make these for snacks all the time, they are very delicious and good for any time! I hope you will enjoy, too! (edited by Yoronosuku on 02-13-06 12:22 AM) |

Originally posted by Yoronosuku Uhm, don´t expect me to try this anytime soon. I probably wouldn´t mind the rice or fish that much but...fish semen.
Yeah, I know that you can choose other things to use as filling. (edited by Ran-chan + on 02-13-06 03:59 AM) (edited by Ran-chan + on 02-13-06 11:59 AM) |

| Different culture, different tastes.
...still strikes me as odd as well.... 
I'm sure there's things we eat over here that folks over there would go wha...??? at (or the Japanese equivilent). *shrugs* |

| Ran-chan, the fish semen (shirako) is an optional filling, you know. Some people like it, I really can't stand it because it feels really salty, the few times I've had to try it. Traditionaly, we just use shake or umeboshi, but I wouldn't recomend trying shirako unless you like your fillings very salty. As for things Americans eat that make us go "wha...???", I know my mom does that all the time when I tell her about things I've eaten here ^^ (edited by Yoronosuku on 02-13-06 02:26 PM) |

| I wouldn´t be surprised if she gets surprised when Yoro says she´s eaten spaghetti.
But then again, Noodles is a kind of pasta (correct me if I´m wrong), I think. |

| It isn't always just the food, but the way the food is ate too. There is a VERY big cultural gap between American and Japanese meals.
For example, it is a sign of respect to say "Itadakimasu" before eating, and "Gochiso-sama" after eating. After being here so long, when I went back home over the summer, I was so used to being over here that I forgot to say it. She just couldn't believe that in America, it wasn't traditional to say something respectful before and after your meal (I know that some people say grace, but, in Japan, Itadakimasu and Gochiso-sama EVERYONE says, it's just a cultural thing). Little things like this...you know? The poor thing though..she wouldn't last a day here xD she's not used to American culture at all. I have to admit I was not either, but, you learn to adapt ._. Oh! And we have spaghetti here too, there are some very very delicious Italian restaurants in the Tokyo area ^^; (edited by Yoronosuku on 02-13-06 04:57 PM) |

| I'd say that all cultures are just food-fucked. Some families are just quiet as all hell (mostly WASPs) whereas Italians, Greeks and other Mediterraneans REALLY know how to enjoy food.
I find North American food-culture to be boring. |
