This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

I mean if it had tasted good he would be upon an amazing discovery. Sometimes try and error helps.

Put some pickle juice in your mashed potatos and maybe a bit of lemon juice, that shit is the bomb

This is one of the few areas that machine learning is actually good for.

Figuring out the chemistry of taste to come up with combos we haven’t thought of.

I once decided to stuff chicken breasts with Feta, blueberry, and rosemary, I really really thought it should work.

It's the dish that my SO reminds me of constantly that almost ended our relationship. She agrees I'm a good cook but says she almost was willing to take the thought back and leave me over that dish.... It was pretty bad.

It's one of those things that sounds like a good idea if you have a brain fart.

Checken stuffed with feta and rosemary would is lovely. Feta, blueberry, and rosemary should work well together.

2 great combinations, so it should work, right?

It's the chicken and blueberry you didn't think about.

Tips:

Instead of wrecking the entirety of your cooking when introducing something that may not work so well, put a small amount of the new thing in your mouth with a bit of what you’re cooking.

In this case, take a spoonful of mashed potato without swallowing and then a sip of chocolate milk . Do you want an entire bowl of that?

Sometimes even just smelling one with a taste of the other is enough to decide.

Also, try a big spoonful of sour cream in your homemade mashed potato along with your regular seasonings. Awesome.

Mm, I guess for your everyday taste test this works. This would absolutely work as far as determining whether or not chocolate milk potatoes would be good. However, there are meals where completely incongruous ingredients blend perfectly due to how they're cooked.

Sometimes you must be adventurous.

For example: salt and mashed potatoes

Milk + butter + SC. that's how I make mine, very creamy and delicious

I also add a bit of cream cheese and pepper to mine. Good stuff.

Does it come out brown? 🤔

Could I prank someone by making chocolate mashed potatoes and say it's frosting?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

More like diarrhea

Texture will hardly be frosting-like

It only has to look the part until a bite is taken.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I mean, it will be visible :D

Sour cream, cream cheese, butter, lots of options other that choccy milk
