The fact that the branding is larger than the informative label is fucked up. I wish capitalism would just fuck off.

I feel that rage every time I have to check if the bottle on the shelf in the shower is conditioner or shampoo.

Like who the fuck thinks this is OK.

Here's a personal example:

One time I swapped the cayenne and chili pepper amounts in a recipe and it became inedible.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

That's just your butthole talking.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But but but

Cayenne is a chili pepper, isn't it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Chili powder* (vs cayenne powder)

If they're not side-by-side then it may be harder to tell, but the smell should clue you in. If in doubt, just give it a taste.

PSA: Cinnamon and nutmeg look identical, but cinnamon in your mashed potatoes tastes weirdly christmas-y. I tested it, sadly.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago (3 children)

You seem to be implying that you put nutmeg in mashed potatoes as a matter of routine.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Nutmeg does interesting things to savoury foods. It's subtle though. It's often like a background singer making the other flavors better more than being a diva in its own right. I haven't added nutmeg to potatoes yet, but now I think I might try it. I usually add some fresh ground nutmeg to my spinach and bacon quiche. Nutmeg would also be right at home in a sweet potato pie. So why not mashed potatoes?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I like to put a little bit of nutmeg in mushroom soup. It adds a little more dimension to the flavor.

Wait, isn't it very common? I always thought of the nutmeg+potatoes as a very common combination

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Not sure about mash, but definitely have noticed it frequently in scalloped/cheesy potatoes

I've never used cinnamon on my potatoes, but I add it to some savory dishes like chill. The key is, cinnamon cuts through, so you need veeeeeeeery little.

on the other hand, apple pie with cinnamon AND cayenne sounds tasty …

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

My wife has done this. Grabbed a bottle of Penzy's Northwood Seasoning instead of the cinnamon. That apple pie was... not so good.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

My dad went for cumin instead of cinnamon for his apple crumble. Then he finished his whole bowl telling us it's fine. Everyone obviously left theirs.

We've never let him live it down.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Well, that seasoning is somewhat special. However, a spoon of cumin at least doesn't make you cry.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Maaaaaaaaaan, I was high af making some rice. Wanted to add some butter, sugar, and cinnamon. I got the first two, but unfortunately got cumin instead of cinnamon. Even high I couldn't finish it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (3 children)

Wanted to add some butter, sugar, and cinnamon.

You wanted to add those things to rice? Is this a dessert recipe I'm unfamiliar with, or were you just so baked you were combining random ingredients?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Half of cooking is combining random ingredients you think will work. Took the idea of rice pudding and wanted some cinnamon with it. Think between cinnamon toast and rice pudding.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

That’s one WAY to cook.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I eat rice like oatmeal in the mornings when I have leftovers. Butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and some condensed milk is heavenly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Maybe like a weird high rice pudding?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Exactly. I was going for rice pudding but cinnamon, and was low on ingredients. It's actually pretty delicious if you don't fuck up the spices hahah

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Rice pudding is delicious, I wish you the best in making more and never mix up seasonings again!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

Spicy sweets is my favourite food genre that isn't taken seriously enough. Try it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This fucked me up once. Raviolis with cinnamon is NOT nice. 💔

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

My dumb ex-spouse didn't know the difference between a clove of garlic and a bulb. Recipe called for 1.5 cloves. We had lasagna with 1.5 bulbs.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I don't see the problem here. More garlic, more good.

I wouldn't even be mad. My favorite amount of garlic is "too much garlic"

I couldn't imagine having only one clove in a pasta sauce.

Cajun style

Wife and I make our own taco seasoning, keep it in an empty jar just like the cayenne (same brand as the picture). During a taco night grabbed the wrong jar, dumped pure cayenne in .... wasn't so bad until it became aerosolized and maced the apartment

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

My grandmother (who really was a good cook) once accidentally put salt in a dessert she made instead of sugar. I can't remember what the dessert was, she made lots of them, but I remember biting into it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

My GF in college made me a coffee and put in salt instead of sugar. Three Spoons Full!!! I spit it across the room...

Hi, are you gonna snort those?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Hah, I can absolutely see myself doing this if we didnt keep our "baking" spices and related ingredients in a different cupboard.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

I literally made this mistake 3 weeks ago. Worst oatmeal ever.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Accidentally grabbed the cayenne instead of paprika once for a recipe I was following. Ended up being an improvement, though have gone to mixing them each 50% since then for the best results.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I really like paprika, but it's easy for other flavors to overpower it. A lot of recipes that call for it don't really need it in my experience, because I can't taste it at the end.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I didn't notice the title at first and thought this was about shrinkflation. One is 69g and the other is 82g.

Also canelle is pretty labor intensive to harvest.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I sprinkled cayenne in my Chai once. Spicy Chai can be good. This one was not.

My cardamom jar is identical to my white pepper.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

My wife has enough variety of spices that I have to read the labels every time I grab spices to add to anything

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Done that. Don't recommend.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

I imagine American Pie would have had a far more interesting scene if this played out there ...
