This is too much spice for the crackers here.
Id eat heck out of that
oof
This fucked me up once. Raviolis with cinnamon is NOT nice. 💔
My dumb ex-spouse didn't know the difference between a clove of garlic and a bulb. Recipe called for 1.5 cloves. We had lasagna with 1.5 bulbs.
I wouldn't even be mad. My favorite amount of garlic is "too much garlic"
I couldn't imagine having only one clove in a pasta sauce.
I don't see the problem here. More garlic, more good.
I ate it, wasn't too bad but my ex and our guests preferred less garlic.
I imagine American Pie would have had a far more interesting scene if this played out there ...
Maaaaaaaaaan, I was high af making some rice. Wanted to add some butter, sugar, and cinnamon. I got the first two, but unfortunately got cumin instead of cinnamon. Even high I couldn't finish it.
Wanted to add some butter, sugar, and cinnamon.
You wanted to add those things to rice? Is this a dessert recipe I'm unfamiliar with, or were you just so baked you were combining random ingredients?
Half of cooking is combining random ingredients you think will work. Took the idea of rice pudding and wanted some cinnamon with it. Think between cinnamon toast and rice pudding.
That’s one WAY to cook.
I eat rice like oatmeal in the mornings when I have leftovers. Butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and some condensed milk is heavenly.
Maybe like a weird high rice pudding?
Exactly. I was going for rice pudding but cinnamon, and was low on ingredients. It's actually pretty delicious if you don't fuck up the spices hahah
Rice pudding is delicious, I wish you the best in making more and never mix up seasonings again!
My grandmother (who really was a good cook) once accidentally put salt in a dessert she made instead of sugar. I can't remember what the dessert was, she made lots of them, but I remember biting into it.
My GF in college made me a coffee and put in salt instead of sugar. Three Spoons Full!!! I spit it across the room...
You wouldn't think it was good, but Tibetans drink salty, buttery tea and it's delicious.

I only had it with yak butter once, but it didn't make a huge difference to my Western taste buds.
Accidentally grabbed the cayenne instead of paprika once for a recipe I was following. Ended up being an improvement, though have gone to mixing them each 50% since then for the best results.
I really like paprika, but it's easy for other flavors to overpower it. A lot of recipes that call for it don't really need it in my experience, because I can't taste it at the end.
PSA: Cinnamon and nutmeg look identical, but cinnamon in your mashed potatoes tastes weirdly christmas-y. I tested it, sadly.
I've never used cinnamon on my potatoes, but I add it to some savory dishes like chill. The key is, cinnamon cuts through, so you need veeeeeeeery little.
You seem to be implying that you put nutmeg in mashed potatoes as a matter of routine.
Wait, isn't it very common? I always thought of the nutmeg+potatoes as a very common combination
As most of the time, it depends on the country!
LOL no.
Not sure about mash, but definitely have noticed it frequently in scalloped/cheesy potatoes
It is not.
Nutmeg does interesting things to savoury foods. It's subtle though. It's often like a background singer making the other flavors better more than being a diva in its own right. I haven't added nutmeg to potatoes yet, but now I think I might try it. I usually add some fresh ground nutmeg to my spinach and bacon quiche. Nutmeg would also be right at home in a sweet potato pie. So why not mashed potatoes?
I add the tiniest bit of nutmeg to my alfredo sauce. It adds to the complexity of the sauce.
I like to put a little bit of nutmeg in mushroom soup. It adds a little more dimension to the flavor.
I sprinkled cayenne in my Chai once. Spicy Chai can be good. This one was not.
I swapped garlic instead of ginger in my chai by accident. Never thought I'd be mad at garlic.
My wife has enough variety of spices that I have to read the labels every time I grab spices to add to anything
Spicy sweets is my favourite food genre that isn't taken seriously enough. Try it.
Wife and I make our own taco seasoning, keep it in an empty jar just like the cayenne (same brand as the picture). During a taco night grabbed the wrong jar, dumped pure cayenne in .... wasn't so bad until it became aerosolized and maced the apartment
