When I was younger, my mother would not buy SpaghettiOs, so my brother and I would put ketchup on spaghetti and we’d loved it. As a latchkey Genxer, left alone after school. I came up with a lot of really horrible food combinations. Mrs. Paul’s frozen fried cod with canned corn anyone? Luckily, my pallet has changed since then.
Great start to the year! Im cooking my way through Hungry as Hell and loving it all! We have committed to less “meat” in 2024. We lean heavy on fake meats during the week so this will be a challenge for sure but HAH is helping me!!
I suspect this one is not uncommon, but my son once made us some brownies that called for espresso powder, and unknowingly subbed actual espresso grind coffee! They were not so terrible fresh out of the oven, but became rather grainy the next day as the grounds sucked moisture from the bake 🤣
My spouse started handling the majority of the cooking a few years back and Bad Manners have always been the go-to cookbooks. Early on he didn’t realize that chili powder and cayenne were different. Needless to say the Flautas he made were...hot...so, so hot.
This is kinda funny. My wife tells me to “Google that shit” which has become GTS it whenever we have a question. Just last week I GTSd ratios of fresh parsley to dried parsley.
I always try to adhere perfectly to the Bad Manners cannon the first time through, so I wait until I find that special ingredient or have a few extra dollars to pay for it to tackle a recipe (...only recipe from books 1-4 I’m still waiting to try is the zucchini blossom pasta).
Only thing that has tripped me up is the canned Hatch chilis (from book 1 or 2...?). They don’t exist in Canada, and the internet wanted an arm and a leg to import them. I couldn’t find any subbing info online, so I used canned green chilis like your YouTube Man. What flavour did I not get to experience?!
Great update, was I the only one screaming smoked paprika would be a better option? Alright...a truly heinous crime my mom and I committed was making mole without flour. She didn't tell me she didn't have any but we thought masa flour would work. Truly the most weak watery mole we've ever made. We laugh about it every year when we make tamales now.

Once by accident, I used apple cinnamon oatmeal in a meatloaf recipe…. It was not good. Not even the dog wanted it.
I brought it to the attention of the “man” some of his obvious substitution errors. It fell on deaf ears. So that channel is on my mute list now.
Thanks for the book recommendations!
I am the Swedish Chef. Utensils and dishes everywhere 🤣

Michelle, you are a lovely human to try and teach instead of being hurt at making nasty comments about someone who didn't appreciate your work.

I just tried the roasted-radish-sub-for-potato meme and it was not good news.
We made the el congri del flor last night. It is delicious! The smoke flavor sets of the different textures.
