Tried it. Still would rather have any other type of meat.

Try dry brine and buy a quality turkey. Well raised turkey tastes so flavorful.

Marshmallows are vile and taste like shipping crate packing filler.

+1 on this marshmallow opinion

I only like them burnt.

Don’t know if that’s controversial?

No. Doesn’t everyone think that?

Consider trying a nice fresh natural peanut butter lightly spread inside a sharp cheddar quesadilla.

Ew WTF?? Now that is controversial.

I KNOW.

But think about trying it sometime. It's not what you would expect at all.

You sweet thing. You really are pushing this!

OK, we might need a separate thread for the people you want to win over.
I have Ortega soft tortillas, shredded cheddar cheese and Jif. Will that work? Or do I need top tier ingredients?

Sure! I think natural peanut butter is better, but I be that would work. Or at least be worth a go.

How sweet of you to be willing to try! (I might just be crazy. I think I may have said it was the best thing my ex left me? Never would have tried on my own.)

Sorry about late reply -- I've been ODing on Political Forum and living in the land of migraines.

Have you considered that he may have been trying to slowly kill you?

No, this was early on, when things were still good. He'd occasionally grab a quick breakfast after a run, with a quesadilla wrapped around a piece of sharp cheddar. Added peanut butter for more protein. I thought it sounded DISGUSTING. (I KNOW. I really do.)

But it was oddly not peanut-buttery? Just, maybe, richer? more depth of flavor? Anyway, my work used to do themed potlucks before COVID. I was going to wait until we started back up and it was my turn, and I'd propose a theme of "unexpected combinations" and try it out on people. I'm kind of giddy that I might be able to do it anonymously instead.

I like to explore and experiment with food and master new cooking methods and such but I also like to just fall back sometimes to some of the food I grew up with. Last night it was pot roast, melt in your mouth meat and grave and potatoes and carrots and onions and celery.

As for Thanksgiving, don't put ANYTHING in your cranberry sauce except cranberries and sugar. You can add citrus in your cranberry bread.

Agree about cranberries, except also omit making cranberry bread.

I add orange liquor to my cranberries and it’s freaking amazing

NP. They adding a little cinnamon and cardamom too. AMAZING

Try, I meant.

Omg I’m invested. I really want PP to come back and tell us what she thought. There is no way I could bring myself to try this.

I support this message. It's much better to eat whole foods and not processed substitutes. The worst offender in my opinion is fake dairy.

Drinking almond milk should be a crime -- almond trees require an insane amount of water.

+1. There have been documentaries and investigative articles about the psycho almond industry and how it basically dictates, and ruined, land and water in California. Those pieces inexplicably didnt really get a cultural foothold but are worth a deep dive.

Oh and I’ll add that even with all that aside, almonds are the sawdust flavor of the nut world.

I am here for the all the food truck hate.

I love sandwiches on pretzel rolls and I don’t care how provincial that makes me.
