What's this spicy dish?

What is this? It was given to me from someone from Afghanistan. It's delicious, but hotter than the surface of the sun. Follow up question, how is it eaten? She gave me some rice, but I only used a tiny amount.

Please help me identify a cheese!

Last year, I made Mexican street corn salad. It was my husbands favorite. However, every time I’ve made it sense, he says it not as good.

The only difference is I can’t find the right cheese.

NOW HOLD UP BEFORE YOU TOLD ME COJITA. I have gone to some extreme lengths to get the best Cojita to see if that was the key….unfortunately whatever I used that first time was NOT Cojita.

So let me explain what I remember from the original cheese I used -

  • It would have been purchased at Food Lion or Walmart.

  • It was a “circle packaged”, not a bag or something like that.

  • It crumbled, was white, not any of the frescos/quesos/veroles(sp? Forgive me) but you can imagine the look/feel/packaging was the same.

  • THE BIGGEST KEY…my hands STUNK. Like even after washing them a few times. It had a STRONG onion like odor.

Thanks in advance!

This was labelled “vegetarian kefta”

This was labelled “vegetarian kefta” on a greek takeout menu, but when I googled that, nothing that came up seemed like this. It’s some sort of fried thing, I’m pretty sure it’s potato based, and it has peas and lentils inside. Is there a different name for this?

Purchased in Ontario, Canada from a Greek restaurant that also serves pizza.

Looking for a recipe - salted mirepoix haricot verts

I’m looking for a recipe I made once. This was a real crowd pleaser.

It really was just roasted green beans, but tossed with a salted mirepoix.

It’s the ratios of the mirepoix I’m especially looking for.

What I remember was mixing celery, carrot, onion, and coarse sea salt, enough to make about a pint in total.

The mixture then aged in the refrigerator for at least two days prior to use.

I tossed the mix with haricot verts and roasted.

I thought it would be too salty but it was just right.

Anyone able to help me out?

Recipe for turrón rosa

This candy keeps showing up in videos and I'm very interested in trying it. Unfortunately don't live anywhere near where it's made so I'd have to settle for making it myself. I've seen a few people attempt recipes on tiktok but they're all a little different and no one seems to know for sure.

Only thing I've seen remain fairly standard is that I should use sugarcane juice and honey. Does anyone have a legit recipe for turrón rosa, the kind made in Guadalajara?

Link for exactly what I'm talking about, I've been able to find recipes for different kinds of turrón but not this one.

Help me find a candy I had 2 decades ago?

Hi everyone, when I was in high school (circa 2004/5), a language teacher of my also over saw the anime club. One day she brought in one of the most amazing candies I have ever had.

My memory is fading with age and I only have some small details.

Each candy was in its own little plastic container, they reminded me of coffee creamer containers but clear. The top was a foil or plastic pull off top. The little plastic candy containers were in a bigger plastic tub, reminiscent of a sun tea jug. I believe the jug had Japanese letters on it.

I believe the flavor was lychee and it was a texture unlike I’ve ever experienced. It seemed almost like Jell-O but when you bit down it almost solidified or bounced back? It sounds strange to describe.

Please help me find this candy I’ve been dreaming of and searching for for far too long!

Sainsburys Pizza - Mascarpone Confusion

This might seem obvious based on the name but I can't find the right stuff.

A few months ago I moved from Newcastle, UK to Adelaide, Australia

Back in the UK I used to get the below pizza. It has small white blobs on it that I've always assumed were the mascarpone.

However now I'm over here I can't buy the pizza and when I try to make at home I cannot reproduce it when I buy mascarpone so I think my assumption is incorrect.

The main difference is the texture. On the Sainsburys pizza the balls don't melt much at all even when cooked for 15 mins. They are soft but solid. vs. My mascarpone which turns to liquid in 60s and almost ruin the pizza.

The Sainsburys balls are sweet and taste similar to my mascarpone but not exactly the same but all the mascarpones I've tried are a little different so think this is to be expected.

So can anyone point me in the right direction for what this cheese is?

Safeway Panini?

This is a ridiculous long shot, but what the hey.

Around the year 2000, I used to like some paninis that were sold in Seattle area Safeways in the deli section. They were almost more like a calzone, but they were definitely called paninis. It came in several versions, including a veggie one I liked, and it was sold in a white paper bag.

I feel like it had some kind of person’s name on it, like “Magdalena’s Panini” or something like that.

I am no longer in Seattle but I can’t find them online. Even if they are no longer around, it would be nice to know what it was.

Thank you.

What is this fruit from a Vietnamese restaurant?

This fruit was part of a make at home spring roll set bought from a Vietnamese restaurant in Thailand. When we had it in the past I always thought it was underripe pineapple, but seeing it as an uncut piece it is clearly not. The texture is like an apple, the skin is like avocado, the seed is small and white but may have been cut through. It tastes like a sweet and sour apple/pineapple, more sour but not astringent.

Yellowish fast food sauce from 30+ years ago?

Random memory just came to me - I used to love this yellow orange sauce, slightly tangy, slightly creamy? I think it was used on sandwiches, maybe grilled chicken, at a fast food chain or a local fast/fast casual food place. I'm grasping at little scraps of memory for this, but I lived in the northeast US and michigan during those years, so maybe that's also a clue. Can someone help me?! Suddenly I need to know! (edit to add that weirdly, it may have had nuts or something crunchy in it)

Thick short Vietnamese rice noodle?

I recently had a dish at a Vietnamese cafe, that id like to replicate at home ... but I can't work out what the noodle is called. It was described as a rice noodle with chicken mince, but the noodle was short, maybe 3-4cm long and maybe 1.5cm thick. Similar to Korean tteokbokki rice cakes, but softer/ not as chewy, also was penne shaped (but solid not hollow). I found a pack of Bánh Cuốn / Bánh Ướt, which looked like long pieces of the noodle, but it wasn't rolled.

Dish looked likes this (but noodles weren't rolled) https://images.app.goo.gl/XLdd4UwRGXdM4LTv7

Anyone got any ideas?

London Lebanese hot sauce

A unique “chili sauce” from a Lebanese restaurant on leather lane that serves chicken on charcoal grill. The sauce is slightly tangy with a bit of kick and quite unique tasting.

What is this vegetable in my Thai green curry?

Thought it might be lotus root but not really sure. It's soft with a slight crunch. Mostly just tastes of the Thai green curry sauce.

Brown vegetable probably from Asia

It's got an earthy vegetable taste and it's slightly salty. It's from an Asian grocery store that sells some other cooked and seasoned vegetables. I recognize the other vegetables but this one's a mystery.

Someone working at the store said the cooked dishes weren't made in-house so he couldn't tell me anything about them.

Discounted sweet rolls with raisins in them that came in a bread bag with a purple label?

So years ago when I was a kid my grandpa used to get this cinnamon roll type of thing with raisins in it. It came in a clear bread bag but the top part was purple. I think these have been discontinued for a while but I’m dying to know the brand. The rolls came on a little paper tray like sweet Hawaiian rolls do. Please tell me someone or someone’s grandma knows the name. I need to know if they are discontinued!

Edit: I found the brand of rolls they were called Mickey’s raisin cinnamon rolls and sadly they are discontinued… I will cry about this now
