Donjuanme, (edited ) in Ways to spice up a can of tuna? [Question]

Use Cajun seasoning powder (Tony chacheres is my go to), and lemon pepper, a large spritz of lemon, and mix Frank’s red hot in with your mayo (I’ve not tried Kewpie Mayo, maybe you don’t want to pollute it). Some red chili flakes and Italian seasoning, maybe some garlic or onion powder, is my tuna mixture for tuna melts.

(I am in no way a chef, but this is what I make when it’s my turn to cook)

candyman337,

As a person who’s grown up in Cajun country, Slap yo mama is better, it has less salt and more seasoning, and jrs available on Amazon

Araithya,

I want to get this just to have in my kitchen counter for a chuckle

thisisbutaname, in Ways to spice up a can of tuna? [Question]

Probably not what you’re looking for but also a neat camping trick so here it is.

Partially open the lid, stuck a folded paper towel inside it so it soaks up the oil and light it on fire. It’ll burn for several minutes and you can use that heat to cook something else.

At the end remove the paper towel and the tuna will have been cooked nicely.

Araithya,

Not what I’m looking for, but still super interesting! I’m looking to camp more this year, I’ll have to try this!

thisisbutaname,

There are more advanced techniques to turn a can of tuna into a stove you can look up, it’s surely a nice trick to show off.

When I was living on the road, I used to enjoy making what I’d call “Poor Boys”.

Tuna + Mayo. Put it in a hotdog bun, along with a leaf of lettuce.

Araithya,

Why on earth a hot dog bun? I’m very confused. I love hot dog buns though so I’ll give it a try!

It’s cheaper than a hoagie.

My go-to can-of-tuna meal is two 5-oz cans (or one 12-oz can), a heavy dollop of mayo, and a spoonful of sweet relish. Stir it all up, serve in a bowl.

This used to be my standard recipe for tuna fish sandwiches, but then I figured, why add bread? That’s just extra calories. I’d rather have a bit more mayo than two slices of dry bread.

EDIT: I prefer two 5-oz cans because I squeeze out all the water from the cans (open with can opener, use lid to compress and squeeze out water) and it’s harder to squeeze out most of the water from the large 12-oz can. Two smaller cans works better. I don’t like my tuna watery. My wife does, though; she says it adds a stronger tuna-y flavor to the dish.

Araithya,

Sweet relish sounds very strange in a good way. I’ll have to try that!

@MrJameGumb@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe add some sliced grapes or chopped walnuts? Or if you want something fermented/pickled maybe add some chopped up kimchi? I bet some radish kimchi would give it a nice crunch

KittenBiscuits,

Another fruit/nut combo to try are craisins and slivered almonds. I’m not a fan of raisins unless they’re in cinnamon bread or bagels, but I love substituting craisins in salads and other savory dishes that call for raisins.

snw, in [DISCUSSION] What is your opinion about meal replacement shakes?

Probably saved my life during a severe anxious period where I was physically unable to eat enough regular food and became dangerously underweight very fast.

Nowadays, useful as a convenience when I don’t have time to make proper food, or just to switch it up a bit. I enjoy these particular shakes I get so sometimes I just get them because I like them.

Metype,
@Metype@lemmy.world avatar

Exactly this, extreme stress was making eating very difficult and meal replacement shakes helped so much.

renrenPDX, in Thai Red Curry additive

Just make your one regular base curry. The spiciness is adjusted by how much chilis you add to the final dish. So to make a spicy batch, sauce some Thai chilis until fragrant then add your curry. That way you can designate spiciness by how many chilis you add.

Cheradenine,

That’s what I do, or simmer chilies in coconut cream and let people add that.

Zozano, in [DISCUSSION] What is your opinion about meal replacement shakes?

Had the Aussie version of Soylent, Aussielent for a few months. I don’t get as much satisfaction from food as others, so for me it was awesome, I saved so much time not preparing food, and I didn’t need to think about balancing my diet.

Then I started my relationship and had to start eating normie food again. Let me go back to the Nebuchadnezza and eat my nutrient slop.

I thought it was Munster weirdly written… Weird to learn this existed

@AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world avatar

It’s yet another US weirdness. I’m not sure if it even makes sense to compare it to the original (which uses raw milk and can get as tasty as you like the more you age it).

hemko, in Veggie burger with muenster cheese and copious sautéed onions

I appreciate the effort but that got to be the worst looking burger I’ve ever seen this month

raef,

” ever seen… [In the two weeks of] this month"

Love the hyperbole steering off to heavily careful qualifying

UNWILLING_PARTICIPANT,

That’s because it’s for eating. Looks tasty to me, though. About on part with what I make.

MysticKetchup, in Veggie burger with muenster cheese and copious sautéed onions

Can never have too many sauteed onions!

Mr_Blott,

Fried onions. They’re fried onions. If OP had to price his burger he’d probably just put 19, and serve it on a slate with a miniature shopping trolley of fries

Azzu, (edited ) in How much flour would I need for an XL pizza?

Ignore me please, I have nothing productive to say - I’m just honestly a bit confused why you’d think you would not increase all ingredients of the dough if you want more dough. And how you have to ask how to scale it from X pizza area to Y pizza area. This all just seems so basic and common sense to me. Where did you fail when figuring this out yourself? Or did you not even try and went straight to asking?

I know this sounds mocking or something, but I’m actually genuinely curious

CrayonRosary,

Not everyone on Lemmy is a nerd. Most people in the world are bad at math.

victorz,

Have to chime in because I had the exact same thoughts as you. It really sounds like someone dialing you drunk af/high af at 3 AM ready to make a huge ass pizza but they can’t figure this basic ass shit out.

Like, if sober, how is the answer to this question not deducible from common sense.

jordanlund, in How much flour would I need for an XL pizza?
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

I think the trick is “XL” is not a standard size. Some places top out at 12 inches, other places go to 16 inches.

Here’s a 12" recipe:

sugarspunrun.com/the-best-pizza-dough-recipe/

Here’s a 16" recipe:

www.cento.com/recipes/pizza/pizza_dough_ball.php

NateNate60,

12 inches is quite small, definitely not “XL”. New York pizzas, very well-known for their size, are typically 18 to 24 inches in diameter. I think that’d be a good reference for an “XL” American pizza.

jordanlund,
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, like I say, it’s not a standard. :) This was an argument we had with an idiot teacher on some kids homework back in the day.

hellogiggles.com/confusing-pizza-math-problem/

“Marty ate 4/6 of his pizza, Luis ate 5/6 of his pizza. Marty ate more pizza than Luis. How is this possible?”

Kid wrote “Marty’s pizza is bigger than Luis’ pizza” and got marked wrong. Even though the question stated it as fact and asked for an explanation.

A 12" pizza would be 113 square inches. 4/6 would be 75.3 square inches.

A 7" pizza would be 38.48 square inches. 5/6 would be 32 square inches.

Thoth19,

It’s possible for this to be true and for their pizzas to be the same size if the size of the pizzas are 0 cm in radius. Then they have both eaten nothing.

anytimesoon, in Milo? What do you do with it?

I’ve added some to the dry mix of pancakes in the past, which was quite nice

Cheradenine,

Thanks, I will try that, and French toast too

altima_neo, (edited ) in How much flour would I need for an XL pizza?
@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

I usually pick up a pound of french bread dough from the grocery store. It makes a very hefty, large pizza if you roll it out pretty thin. You figure at 60% hydration, thats about 10 ounces of flour and 6 ounces of water, if youre using active dry yeast.

And then, yeah, the other ingredients would need to increase proportionately. Like .2 oz of salt, and probably a packet or two of yeast.

Gradually_Adjusting,
@Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world avatar

Where do they sell french bread dough? Using it for pizza is cool.

altima_neo,
@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

The grocery store bakery department will usually sell you their French bread dough, if they make fresh bread in the store.
