Don’t actually start shit please.
So my take
meat take
is that boneless chicken wings are in all ways superior to normal chicken wings.
vegetarian take
Firm tofu is hands down better than all other forms of tofu, tempeh, etc.
And mash potatoes on pizza isn’t actually that bad. Just make it a proper pureé instead of smooshing up a baked potato with a spoon and calling it a day.
If you can stand the process, home made beet burgers are absolutely the best form of burger, hands down. Flavor, texture, heft. Perfect.
Im interested. How do you normally do em? Grind em and make patties that way? Process is no obstacle, I’ve been cooking as a job for 15 years doing generally higher end shit. Plus im sure I can freeze em so I can do a batch day where I end out looking like Ash at the end of Evil Dead 2 but with beet juice.
Side note, have you tried non standard beets? Golden and rainbow beets are both amazing. They’re great raw. Golden ones roast good, rainbows lose all their flavor and it’s a subtle taste to start. Marinating or brining them has been working nice. I’d go with the brine overall tho. Basically you wanna boil em skin on until theyre still firm but have some give. A fork should go through with some resistance. Ice bath em. At the same time you’re doing that bullshit, simmer very very salty water with some anise and maybe a bay leaf for no reason and then let that cool, filter out the spices and let the beets sit in that in a fridge overnight.
