When this pickle flavor craze is over, I want massamun curry to be the next big thing. Massamun Jelly Belly. Massamun Cheez-its. Massamun Oreos

Fushion cuisine at its finest

"It's generating enough power to run a city!"

I've used grits as an emergency rice substitute, and it was amazing!

Homemade roti made with cornmeal or masa or P.A.N. is also good when you want to use what you have. We use soft corn tortillas quite often.

I wanna crumble up some cornbread in a bowl and serve curry over that. I bet that would be delicious!

Oh, rajma/dal makhani and cornbread are wonderful together, which probably isn’t a surprise.

I have a little package of butter chicken sauce, so I may have to get some cornbread tomorrow.

Are you a sweet or savory cornbread person? I have some recipes if you’d like, but I’m a savory cornbread person.

My answer to that question is YES And I have a cornbread recipe from my mom; I just lack the iron skillet to cook it in.

I won't turn down a recipe tho

Bah! Humbug! I’m scrolling thru my recipes and can’t find the ones I had in mind. Trying to avoid using eggs and don’t care much about dairy?There is a vegan recipe that works. (You can make it non-vegan, of course!) www.food.com/recipe/vegan... (comments from “CHRISTINA-BOBINA”are helpful)

I also recommend trying some recipes with masa harina or creamed corn or fresh corn blitzed to mulch. They all add to your cornbread game in different ways.

Awww, yeah, cast iron skillet is perfect for crunchy edges.

*whispers* chili is a form of curry

You made deconstructed Golden Pillow

I was going to make a joke about why not going full Scalzi and turning it into a burrito but ngl a massaman curry burrito sounds fucking delicious.

Good interesting, bad interesting, or hard to decide?

Can you recommend the source? We've been underwhelmed by the Thai restaurants we've tried locally so far.

If you're in Northwest, I highly recommend Thai Boran on Coors.

Thanks, will give it a look.

In ABQ, Thai Street just off Tramway’s been great.

Being in the part of ABQ we only visit to bird the foothills does explain the lack of past trying.

OMG, you're having massaman curry? You have no idea how ferociously I envy you now.

I tend to use couscous as my last-minute "forgot to make rice" problems. Sometimes works really well, sometimes, meh.

It feels like you're starting to embrace the Scalzi school of food experimentation?

Have you ever tried the Carolina Gold rice? It's heavenly.

Doing a "heads up" for my writer friends on Bluesky. Feel free to contact your Congress Critters about this affront.

Brioche might not be the ideal choice. I'd go with something more crusty and hearty.

If I had it lying around, definitely!

🤣🤣🤣 I will not make a cake to starving peasants joke. I will not make a cake to starving peasants joke. I will not make a cake to starving peasants joke. I will not make a cake to starving peasants joke.

I would do either in a bowl with a side of potatoes (either diced hashbrown or homestyle roasted) or maybe over orzo...

Brings new meaning to French Indochina.

A writer’s guide to offensive reheating.

As a French, I'm almost afraid to ask what you are making. Curious, but afraid.

Ooo, thanks for reminding me I need to stock my freezer’s supply of emergency stir-fry noodles! (Noodles are too small to have passports, be free, add whatever goop you’ve got)

I think this is called "Bunny chow" in South Africa. It seems like a pretty good idea.

It's certainly in the same area, though the bunny chows that I've had require a somewhat more structural bread than a brioche. I wouldn't trust a hollowed out brioche to hold together

No, it definitely does not!

I had it at a South African cuisine food truck. It was more like Panera soup in a bread bowl. I think that means you get to name it. Them's the rules.

Our local place that serves it does it with whichever curry from their menu that you want. Which seems fair. They slice the top off a cottage loaf, scoop out the interior, fill with curry and then put that top lid back on

Me, before getting hooked on cooking competitions:”This is kinda weird tasting, but I like it.” Me, now: “This has a complex and non-traditional flavor profile.”

Is this something worthy of a podcast? Something like where you and Kevin eat food? Perhaps of the cheap variety?

ah, I see you subscribe to the culinary school of "carbs is carbs"

My favorite rice substitute is whole wheat couscous, cooks up in no time. But the brioche does sound interesting

Plus, curry puffs!

I mean curry and roti is a classic, brioche is just puffier/eggier.

Dinner tonight: Scrambled eggs over English muffins… topped with leftover bolognese sauce? I can’t say I’m disappointed… 🤷‍♀️ To be served with a glass of wine, of course. 😉

That ‘accompanied by a glass of wine’ saves a lot of recipes, TBH. 🤷‍♀️😅

Because even if it doesn't, do you really care? Hell no

huh, I would try this if the brioche were toasted

I keep glass noodles in stock for just this sort of culinary conundrum.
