I've done the same. I love mushroom soup. I love egg nog. I once tried to put the two together because I had run out of milk.

Now I'm not one to waste things, so I tried to finish it but could only stomach a few mouthfuls. Whatever unholy mixture that turned out to be needed to be buried a minimum of 10 feet deep in a lead container with warnings in every possible language to future generations to leave it the fuck alone.

I nearly downvoted this out of disgust. Wtf dude? No.

[-] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 years ago

I know that.. now.

Some of us do the best learning the hard way.

[-] Pazuzu@midwest.social 7 points 2 years ago

I tried that once with hot cocoa. my logic was that going from water to milk makes hot cocoa far richer and tastier, even better if it's whole milk. egg nog is even richer and tastier than whole milk, so clearly cocoa nog should be delicious. nope

Once when I’d clearly had enough whiskey I tried adding msg to it. Thankfully I didn’t ruin much but dang does liquor not like umami

[-] item09@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

If you’re looking for a good place to use that egg nog, my dad always makes egg nog french toast on Christmas and it’s fantastic!

[-] discostjohn@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago

That's absolutely gnarly, dude.

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago

Didn't have milk but had chocolate milk, definitely a robot.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 27 points 2 years ago

Hahaha

Rice and tortilla chips are both basically solid carbohydrates, right? So like, what's the difference between eating refried beans with tortilla chips, and putting refried beans in rice?

What they have in common is that they both make me not hungry anymore. The difference is how.

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 years ago

If you make Mexican rice, it kicks ass with beans.

To be honest, that doesn’t say much. Could be black rice, brown rice, yellow rice, pink rice…. from all I know.

Let me put it this way: one time, I got pulled over for having two license plates showing, and a headlight out. When the officer asked for my ID and proof of insurance, I didn't have either on me.

He let me go with a warning

Good God, you may be whiter than I am. Casper the friendly ghost claims that he's got a better tan than I do.

You were so close. Gallo Pinto is a Latin American dish where you get black beans and white rice together. It's delicious.

You don't even really need milk for mashed potato, just put extra butter in.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Tips:

Instead of wrecking the entirety of your cooking when introducing something that may not work so well, put a small amount of the new thing in your mouth with a bit of what you’re cooking.

In this case, take a spoonful of mashed potato without swallowing and then a sip of chocolate milk . Do you want an entire bowl of that?

Sometimes even just smelling one with a taste of the other is enough to decide.

Also, try a big spoonful of sour cream in your homemade mashed potato along with your regular seasonings. Awesome.

[-] Classy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

Milk + butter + SC. that's how I make mine, very creamy and delicious

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 9 points 2 years ago

Who puts milk in mashed potatoes???

[-] Evotech@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago

Everyone? I mean what do you use

[-] throw4w4y5@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago

chocolate milk

[-] UsernameIsTooLon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The Michelin Star way is 1:1 butter to potato ratio (yes, so 1 pound of butter for every pound of potatoes) and a tiny bit of salt lol. You just run the mash potatoes through a fine mesh until it becomes a super smooth paste.

[-] Cannonhead2@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Jeez. I knew restaurant mashed potatoes used a lot of butter, but that's pretty nuts if true.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Restaurant food tastes good because we make it the unhealthy way, and we have commercial grade burners. To quote Beavis and/ or Butthead: "FIRE! hu hu YEAH! FIRE!"

I've made a lot of macaroni and cheese in my day, and I haven't always had the luxury of being able to afford milk. My go-to in that scenario is to use at least double the recipe's butter, and substitute the required milk with about 75% as much water.

It makes the mac and squeaky and it tastes.. not very good.

I love olive oil and I like mayonnaise, but making mayonnaise with olive oil is a mistake.

Yes, and the fruity taste clashes with the rest.

Does it come out brown? 🤔

Could I prank someone by making chocolate mashed potatoes and say it's frosting?

Put some pickle juice in your mashed potatos and maybe a bit of lemon juice, that shit is the bomb

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

I mean if it had tasted good he would be upon an amazing discovery. Sometimes try and error helps.

[-] Nudding@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago
