Are Smash Burgers superior? 6 Irish people can't be wrong.
I myself have been trying to perfect smash burgers recently and it's been a struggle but I'm learning and making progress. The amazing thing about smash burgers is: it's pretty fool-proof - even when I've messed up everything, the burgers are still good.
How many times have you been in America and gone down to your local American restaurants and ordered the American style pancakes with poached eggs, hollandaise sauce and mashed avocado? Too many times to remember, I imagine. That is an American classic. I even stopped ordering my poached egg, hollandaise sauce and mashed avocado pancakes because I found they were usually out of them (too much demand!) and it just got too frustrating. Well, at least the other ones were within the realm of acceptability.
Call me America-centric, but I just assumed that Jell-O was widely known in the U.K. I found this surprising.
Ever get the feeling you've been cheated? I'm here to say I think we've been lied to.
When I was a kid, I remember getting Cinnamon Dentyne or Big Red gum and it burning my mouth with hot fire. It was a quite a dilemma because what can you do? On the one hand, I want the pain to stop, on the other, I don't know where my next piece of gum is going to come from. But when you eat the spice cinnamon it doesn't do anything close to that level of setting your mouth on fire.
Cinnamon is tree bark from a certain variety of tree and it does contain a certain amount of a hot compound similar to capsaicin called cinnamaldehyde. When it's ground up and sitting in a jar, it loses a fair amount of kick which explains half of the discrepancy.
Well, then I guess making cinnamon candy hot is technically fair game. Nonetheless, the hot candies seem to be creating different amounts of concentrated oil in order to magnify the sting. Big Red stole my childhood.
