The end product for OctCOVIDfest! Highly recommend Alton Brown’s pretzel recipe (but I recommend replacing some all-purpose with bread flour!).

Strictly vegetarian here too. We grow a lot of our own produce on our allotment and earlier this week I finally got round to making my own pickled jalapeños. They’re in the fridge sucking up taste. Can’t wait to get to taste them. I put pickled jalapeños everywhere, on my breakfast sandwiches, in my pasta sauce, everywhere.
I also made pickled cucumber at the same time from our own cucumbers.
Life is good.

Same here, I became addicted to chili after a trip to La Réunion. Brought back such kind of pickle sauce made with Piments Oiseaux, cumbava (local lime) and ginger: it made everything taste so good!!!
Now I put a bit of my own chili preparation in most of my meals

Korean BBQ anything!
Got an endless supply of Gochujang chilli sauce. Add honey, ginger rice wine vinegar, put it on anything and sprinkle with sesame seeds and finely diced scallions/green/spring onions or whatever the hell you want to call them.
Beer activates their true flavour. Goes well with baseball 
I’m English, honest! Just well cultured.

As in “what”, “why”, “how” or “when”?
the last bit - ‘just well cultured’
What does that mean?
cultured
adjective:
characterized by refined taste and manners and good education.
“a cultured and intelligent man”
Though I wouldn’t necassarily say I was intelligent.
this thread is pointless without delivering the receipes for the meals!

Been on a salsa kick. It’s rare to find habaneros where I am, but I just found some, and I have been loving it.

Anyone here have a smoker?
Just got a small analog electric smoker and though I’ve successfully made a few edible items, I’ve also failed miserably on others. My taste tester also said it has a burnt taste (thought not burnt) as well, maybe the chips are in too long. I have no clue.
Any tips or tricks would be appreciated.
What are you smoking and at what temp? Is there a thermostat? What kind of wood are you using? Picture of the unit?
I occasionally smoke things on my charcoal grill but I have some experience using electric ones too. It’s very possible to put too much smoke on things, and certain woods can have an acrid taste if overused.
