In this thread, we talk about tea. We talk about what we drink. What tea goes good with. What we mix with tea. Etcetera. Forever. Let it begin.
I like iced tea.
Tie Guan Yin tastes good, the flavour is very rich.
Any white tea you'd recomend ?
Silver Needle is my favorite. I'm no tea connoisseur, but I believe it is white tea. Has a subtle flavor that is both delicious and not overpowering. I'd suggest others to try it too.
How about a thread about things you can add to/do with ramen for a little variety? Because if you're like me, you are le poor and survive on the local grocer's "10 Ramen Blocks for 4 Dollars" special...;_;
When I don't want the soup flavouring packet added, I usually just add in some mixed veggies and some scrambly egg, for example. I also have a friend who makes cold casseroles with hers and it's pretty good. What do you do?
All you gotta do is go to the asian market and buy this stuff called Tom Yum paste and add a tablespoon of that instead of the packets and BAM! awesome ramen. Hope you like it spicy. Tastes like shrimp a little. Awesome stuff.
SPAM!
My family is Hungarian and a common meal for us is Chicken Paprikash! Since my sister and I love it so much if we just want to have a cheap lunch we put sour cream and some paprika into our (chicken) ramen! So good!
Add soy sauce. Kikkoman only. And tiny diced/chopped onion.
and some some sweet pussy ((())) cat for u amricnos and some vegges and beef and soysause
i know it sounds weird but add basil leaf to chicken ramen X) so good :)
My favorites are thinly sliced leftover meats, sriracha, and drained with peanut butter for ghetto pad-thai
I make the ramen made as instructed on the package, then i add half a can of stewed tomatoes, garlic, cilantro. Bam.
What kind of alcohol do you drink? How often? Do you "drink your lunch?"
Jim Beam
about 2 times a month.
I drink about 5 shots when I drink.
I don't start until after 9pm or later (I usually don't get off work till 11pm so I start then)
Hmmm since its the world cup going on, its slightly earlier:
Finish study, meet the lads at the pub around 6:30pm
Order a pint of Carlberg, Fosters, Guiness, etc
some food, while watchin the game!
drink till around 10pm+
and if the lads are keen, hit the town and meet sum girls to chat, possibly get smashed till 4am with jagerbombs, vodka n mix, beer, shots, etc
Pretty much everything. If I'm just chilling and wanting a beer I grab Miller High Life. It's not that I'm a stranger to a wide variety of beers from around the world, just that it's convenient, cheap, and satisfying.
Somehow that just sounded like a Miller High Life commercial.
A short, anonymous post on an obscure message board seems to fit in the MHL advertising budget. But in all seriousness, the stuff is brewed locally (maybe half an hour from where I live) and the workers there are UAW (as am I).
gin and tonic
Pale Ale mostly...with the occasional vodka/whiskey/tequilla/wine
ms. vickie's salt and vinegar chips
corn soup
Homemade beef stew. I was a little fancy with it this time--I cut up the meat and dredged it in flour with black pepper mixed in, then browned it in olive oil, and deglazed the pan with cooking sherry before adding vegetables. And I am drinking water.
Drinking some Gatorade G2, eating some hot cheetos. There's some free popcorn in the lounge of the hotel I'm staying at, so I'll head down there in a bit
No cash so oh well
Cochon de lait po boy.
Basically, pulled pork with horseradish and cole slaw on french bread.
Marmite on toast.
Basically, Marmite applied to toast.
had some spinach tortellini, and am sipping some earl gray. And just to confirm my bachelor status, I feel like eating some muesli with yoghurt «^_^»
Roasted green tea.
Coffee. It makes me aggressive and irritable, but it is better than being depressed.
I heard the way to know the real japanese restaurant.
Is this a true way to know?
Most of the japanese restaurant has some kind of good-luck articles, like the small shrine called "KAMIDANA" or a charm of it , somewhere in the shop.
But if you see the red color charm, which you can often look at Taiwan shop, most of the time the shop isn't owned by Japanese.

Japanese poster begins to be angry. You can neatly confirm it by the racism and broken English.
I am japanese,but todays 'japanese hardly ever use oaiso at wanting a bill.
I 've never hear that! ...but,it may be because i am just young.
try to order apollo juice.
The rest room of Japanese owner's restaurant is clean.
there can be upsides to a korean run japanese restaurant. kimchi gyoza is god tier delicious
>>16
Never seen that but yeah, a couple of Japanese places I've been to have kimchi as a free appetizer, including Maru Ichi (http://www.goramen.com/2009/03/maru-ichi-mountain-view-ca.html) which I'm gonna have to say is the best ramen I've ever had on this side of the pond. If the shitty tourist traps in SF's Japantown are Japanese-owned, Koreans win hand down.
That said, if you go to a traditional Korean restaurant, they'll give you a whole smorgasboard of little side-dishes with every meal, so I'd go there for my free kimchi instead.
see if natto is on the menu. if it is, its japanese owned.
I hear most chinese buffet restaurants are japanese owned.
vc: burp
here in chile chinese food is cooked by peruvians in buenos aires is cooked by bolivians in ecuador is cooked by colombians and so on and so on

ever tried rice....
ummm.... rice that tastes good cause u can put almost anything with it....
rice with eggs...
rice with chicken...
rice with chicken noodle soup...
rice with eggplant...
name ur rice dish...
If I just want plain rice, it usually goes into the rice cooker with a homemade vegetable stock or a few tsps of turmeric. When I want something more complete dish, I typically opt for red beans and rice simmered in a spicy roux as opposed to the common fried rice variants.
Being of South East Asian descent, I do enjoy eating Sinigang or Adobo with rice. Usually most South East Asian dishes are meant to be coupled with rice so that's a start. Sometimes I ghetto it out and eat rice with just Japanese Mayo or just Sweet Baby Ray's.
Everyone itt needs to try cajun dirty rice. Fact.
I am Japanese

What Do something about the garbage floating on the ocean
Lived ghetto in Hawaii for awhile and we ate spam, rice, and eggs or Portuguese sausage, rice, and eggs sometimes twice a day. Cheapest meal you can get there. Rice, eggs over easy or sunny side up (runny yolks is key), "meat" of choice, soy sauce to flavor and blend with spatula. Add a dash of Tabasco if you're into that. It's good, I swear.
>>51
That sounds very Samoan. Fried eggs & rice with Spam, I mean. Not being "ghetto."

whenever i drink milk i get really sick, but i don't think i'd like to add water to my cereal to eat it.
this is a problem because i love cornpops and raisin bran and refuse to give them up!
a couple days ago i caved to the urge and chowed down on a huge bowl of raisin bran and 2% milk, then spent the rest of the day throwing up and shitting.
so i was wondering if any of you know if soy milk tastes good in cereal?
[quote]Name: girl : [/quote][quote]Cows milk makes me lightheaded and faint.[/quote]
Gets a lot of Cow Milk
I drink Lactaid and love it. It's like a whole new world opened up for me when I dunked an oreo into a glass of milk for the first time in 20 years.
I also can not drink cow's milk. Fat free is a bit better, but it still gives me a queasy stomach.
I stick to soy milk for my cereal, and just suck it up.
>>3 I've tried American soymilk, it is NOT soymilk.
Hmm, have you tried alternatives to milk, like powdered or condensed milk? :)
>>1
recently i had some leftover marshmallows sitting around and didn't know what to do with them, so i decided to try to make rice crispy treats, except with a different cereal, i used on that is similar to corm flakes or special k and it worked great, so then after that i had the most awesome cube shaped cereal for breakfast for a few days.
alternatively, just about any nut can be made into 'milk'
here is a recipe i happpen to have for "cashew cream" it works with just about any kind of nut. hazelnut milk is fucking great stuff
Cashew Cream
1 cup of water
1/2 cup of raw cashews
pinch of salt
Add the water, cashews and salt to a high speed blender and process until smooth. You may need to play with the water/cashew ratio until you get the desired consistency of heavy cream. Run the mixture through a medium strainer to remove any chunks that may remain.
I drink a lot of Silk Soymilk and it's pretty good. 8th Continent is okay but not the best.
There are also several other non-dairy alternatives like rice, almond, and coconut milk that you can try. I'm addicted to all of them.
I see no mention of oat milk in this thread. Oat milk tastes a lot better, but tends to separate a bit when used in coffee or such. What about Rice milk? I personally like milk from oats the best.
Soymilk tastes like someone strained fresh cow's milk through a dirty jockstrap and then let it sit in the sun for a few days.
Spanish or White????!?!?!?!??!?!
Basmati.
Is Botan rice Japanese rice?
Parboiled
I've always pronounced it jai-roh. My parents pronounce it jai-roh. I've never had a waiter or waitress point out that it was anything different when I've ordered one. A couple months ago I was talking about a gyro I had to an aquaintance and they had no idea what I was talking about. After I described it to them they said something like "Oh, you mean a gyro?", only they pronounced it sort of like 'year-oh' or 'euro'. What is the correct way to pronounce it? Are both ways acceptable, like tomato, or vase?
GUYVER
Jin Roh
An Hero
Coming from a Greek family that owns a Greek restaurant, I can assure you all that the correct pronunciation is like YI-roh.
gyro= "ghee-ree-yo" quickly
Raoh pwns them all, you fool!
It's "Jai-roh!" like "Gyroscope" ;)

from an american perspective, the g is silent the same as with the words gnome or gneiss, some historic relic left attached in the visual spelling, it can be difficult or even unwanted to change tradition.
