BuffaloBill Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I know many of you around these parts are foodies. What are your favorite foodie finds? Could be ingredients, gadgets or techniques. As for me, I love Temecula Olive Oil. Try blood orange drizzled on French toast before you drench the bread in egg. It adds an awesome citrus taste to the results. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Ghee: Indian clarified butter. Tastes like butter but won't smoke at high heat. It's a staple in my kitchen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Wegmans basting oil covers a lot of needs. I know, not exotic enough for many, but still very useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I’ve been making my own cheese for a while now. Made this for the first time. It’s raw milk Camembert with curry. I call it Line Item. LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teef Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 nothing specific, but i now know to use only fresh mozzarella. buy the ball and shred it yourself, and notice the awesomeness. the pre-shredded/pre-packaged mozzarella doesn't cook or taste nearly the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I began doing this about a year ago. Little tip ... Throw the mozz in the freezer for 45-60 minutes prior to shredding. A lot easier to work with when it's a tad firm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot easier to work with when it's a tad firm. that makes sense. it can be a bit gooey when cutting otherwise. i do trust the pre-shredded mozz that wegmans sells for pizzas. it's definitely fresh, and it doesn't include the ingredients the pre-packaged mozz has that helps it store on shelves better. it's not cheap, but it's the only pre-shredded i'll buy, if i do buy it. good tip though.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I like to eat sliced avocado on sandwiches. My wife bought this tool that acts as a scoop and a slicer at the same time. Changed my frickin life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite sandwiches is avocado and cheese with Sriracha and mayo on lightly toasted whole wheat bread. Add a slice of a fresh garden tomato when they're in season.
