Doesn't even have to be dinner

[–] omgarm@feddit.nl 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Without paying much attention or zooming in I could tell this was Dutch. Then I saw the white chair, the cheese and de Ruijter.

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

The white chair is TripTrap made by Stokke (At least the original design, guess it's been pirated by other makers) This could have been any Nordic country as well apart from the details ofc :) I blame IKEA for that

So the Norwegian Forest Cat is sitting on the Norwegian children chair :)

Edit. Think it might be a siberian actually...

They're Maine Coons actually! Brother and sister.

The dealbreaker for me is that a nordic home would never have pre-sliced cheese on the table but rather a big block of cheese and a cheese slicer.

[–] Kanda@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Pre-sliced is fairly popular in Scandinavian homes now

Hard and soft tacos? How accommodating.

[–] gentooer@programming.dev 10 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Are hard tacos actually nice to eat? Whenever I see them in movies and such, it seems like the tortilla would just shatter the moment you bite into it.

It's like a tortilla made of a giant cornchip. Breakage can be an issue but they don't explode like glass or anything.

Have you ever had a tostada?

Soft tacos are easier to eat but you can't get Doritos crunchy taco shells as a soft taco

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

No, they’re not. Unless you like making messes. Then they’re right up your alley.

[–] Gustephan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I like hard shell tacos, though I will say it's often an exercise in creatively holding broken pieces of taco as I eat it. The secret is to spread a tortilla with refried beans (or any other food that can serve as glue; guac, sour cream, melted cheese, etc) then wrap that around the hardshell taco for a best of both worlds experience. It's also very much a white people taco night thing; I'd never want a hard shell for a good Mexican or texmex style taco, but if you're talking about ground beef in a Mccormick spice blend with peripherals from the "mexican" aisle of an American supermarket, hard shells are dope.

Crunch wraps!

Soft taco around a hard taco.

Tuxedo Batman is so polite, and cute.

10/10 deserves dinner.

[–] Lawnman23@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago

Where is dinner at? I will be there for taco night every time.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And on Taco Night no less‽

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I am so gratified to learn that others use this term, too. Ain’t nothing wrong with some hamburger meat in a large tortilla chip with cheddar cheese, but it is most definitely not the same food item as you get from a taco joint. This is one of those home cooking exclusives.

[–] chalupapocalypse@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)

People shit on these tacos but it's a way better use of ground beef than fucking manwich or hamburger helper or meatloaf, or anything else besides burgers.

[–] scarabic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah that’s a good point. We make some pretty gourmet meatloaf at my house so I might quibble with you on that one. But I am sure there’s some awful meatloaf out there too. Manwch is just… I can’t even. Isn’t it basically dog food you put on bread and call it a sandwich?

I was going to comment the same excitement to someone else who used it above but couldn't think of a good way to phrase it without sounding mildly bigoted.

[–] _lilith@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

Damn I would have eaten that whole spread growing up. Late for dinner? more like foods gone

[–] smokebuddy@lemmy.today 16 points 2 years ago

taco cat is taco cat spelled backwards

[–] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 12 points 2 years ago

I thought it was weird my SO grandma's cat ate at the table with us but I guess it's not unusual.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

I know the seasoning packets say to drain the fat from the hamburger after browning, but it always leaves it so dry. I never drain the fat out or add water and I let it all marinate for at least an hour before serving. It's so, so much better.

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Depends on the how lean of a mix you use too. I use fattier ground beef for tacos (80:20 lean to fat) and drain the fat after browning. I find that with that ratio draining doesn’t dry out the beef at all. The other key I’ve found is to cover the serving dish with the beef, while it’s sitting between being scooped for servings. Seems to dry out much faster if left exposed to open air

Next taco night, add a bit of water to your sour cream to make it a little bit runny. Then add a bit of salt, some lime juice and smoked paprika. Is nice.

[–] gentooer@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is why I prefer low-fat sour cream for burritos and tacos, it's a little runnier. I just throw some finely diced shallots in there and leave it for some time in the fridge.
