Another Day, Another Meme: 100 Japanese Foods to Try

Adam, "sauce yakisoba" is yakisoba made with "sauce" (sosu). In Japanese cuisine, the mononymous sosu is a tangy liquid with a flavor similar to Worcestershire sauce (although milder). It is slightly sweet, quite tart, and just a little salty. Its ubiquity in modern Japanese cuisine gave it the honor of having such an ambiguous name while remaining instantly identifiable to those in the know.

I can only wonder what other "100..." memes you'll come up with, if ever.
Indian food? French? XD

NYC's Top 10 Ice Cream Sandwiches

My first post after a long hiatus... Ice cream sandwiches are definitely worth the trouble.

After reading the article, I wanted an ice cream sandwich (to finish of breakfast... And no "ICE CREAM FOR BREAKFAST?!!" comments, please). Lucky we had some Chips Ahoy and Double Dutch in the freezer. (We don't have artisanal cookies or ice cream here, so what the heck.) Yuuuum.

BTW, has anyone seen the Cookie Monster on Colbert (plus the following dialogue between Colbert and Stewart)?

SE users: please introduce yourselves.

I'm levinedym, a 20 year-old Filipino-Chinese in the Philippines. Still preparing for a job (just graduated -- two days ago!), but it will definitely be in the infotech/compsci field.

I don't actually cook ('cause I still live with my parents), but I plan to do so when I go out into the big bad world on my own. I am a foodie; I love reading, looking, smelling, feeling, and tasting good food. I'm an Asia-phile (since I live here), but Western Cuisine is totally an option.

I stumbled on SE while 'Net surfing for a recipe for my mom. It's been part of my morning ritual ever since!

Sack Lunch: A Luxurious and Deeply Aromatic Noodle Lunch

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who brings noodle soup for lunch.

What I do is keep the soup in a vacuum bottle, and the solids (noodles, toppings) in a Tupperware. If I feel up to it, I might separate the toppings from the noodles (to keep them from getting soggy).

When eating, you can always pour the soup in one part at a time. This means you can bring a smaller Tupperware, at the same time, you get hot soup throughout the meal!

Cooking with Kids: There Will Be Fish Blood

@mamster: Your daughter Iris is some kid. I haven't really met any kid who was... well, INTERESTED in fish guts. Some would say it's only a morbid curiosity, but I think it's not.

Look at it this way: she'll grow up being unafraid of dealing with real food. That means a potential for real cooking.

First Seeds Delivered to Arctic Seed Vault

When I think about it, if something kills off the plant life, then it would probably affect the soil as well. We talk about nuclear holocausts, but we sometimes forget long-term nuclear fallout. Even volcanic / meteor impact dust clouds can block the sun and kill plants.

Perhaps a chemical analysis to make "soil synthesis" possible would be in order? After all, seeds can't grow without soil (hydroponics aside). In addition, maybe a method of setting up a strictly-controlled environment (light, water, soil, wind) for each seed type would be a good idea.

Paula Deen Is Trying to Kill Us, Part 4: Bacon, Doughnut, Egg Burger

New York Times had Donut Pudding printed a few weeks ago. Made it twice and pased it around to friends. Made more raspberry jelly for the second batch and doubled the # of donuts for a really large pan. If you decide to make some kind of donut thing, don't use Dunkin Donuts. They don't have enough jelly in them unless you are driving and eating a donut with the other hand. You can order big ones from the Stop & Shop. Frozen dough, sure but they hold a lot of jelly and when you add cream, eggs and sugar. Yum.

Dang. . .the only flavor in my cupboard is strawberry. I gotta do this, it's too beautiful to pass up. . .I just love making memories for the grandkids.

Guilty pleasure--strawberry Jello with fresh bananas and real whipped cream. Oh wait--I love lime with grated carrots and lime with pineapple, too.

There is a fabulous confection boutique on Park Ave btwn 58th and 59th that serves up the best gelato I've ever had. The brand is called Taste Gelato Artigianale, made fresh daily with all natural ingredients. There is a debut for the gelato on June 4th and 5th. I highly recommend it!!!!

Another Day, Another Meme: 100 Japanese Foods to Try

Yeah. I know. The first definition is pretty heady. I think "an idea that spreads virally" pretty much sums it up. Think of catchphrases from TV shows and how your annoying coworkers and/or friends use them (SNL catchphrases; "I'll be back" from Terminator, etc.), which is probably a good example of non-internet memes.

Another Day, Another Meme: 100 Japanese Foods to Try

Wow, I have a post-graduate degree and I don't follow that Wikipedia definition. And I haven't seen any of those examples you so kindly provided. But thanks for trying! I'm off to google LOLcats.

Another Day, Another Meme: 100 Japanese Foods to Try

@lambowner: Wikipedia says, "A meme comprises a unit or element of cultural ideas, symbols or practices; such units or elements transmit from one mind to another through speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena. The etymology of the term relates to the Greek word mimema for mimic. Memes act as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate and respond to selective pressures."

When a meme hits the web, it's an "Internet meme." Says Wikipedia, "The term Internet meme is a neologism used to describe a catchphrase or concept that spreads quickly from person to person via the Internet, much like an inside joke. The term is a reference to the concept of memes, although this concept refers to a much broader category of cultural information."

Basically, it's an idea that spreads virally. Have you seen LOLcats? That's a meme. Other memes: the whole FAIL! thing, the Dramatic Hamster, and Rickrolling, among many others.

SE users: please introduce yourselves.

I'm lamora and I live in the Central Valley of California. Half British, half Latina (air force brat). I spent most of my early years in England, until transferring back to the states when I was 17. I married a latino, who had never had anything but straight mexican foods, birria, tacos de cesos ( don't make me tell you what that is) and believe me, our first date dinner of roast beef, mash, brussels & gravy (which I cooked) was washed over with a slurp of his smuggled in hot sauce!!! I was mortified...but you know what...22 years later, he has grown to appreciate different foods. I am from a family of 8 and while in English school, took cookery lessons since age 9. We grew up cooking homey, hearty meals for the family and there are quite a few "twists" on the food my Brit mum tried to make for my dad back in the States...Chile on top of mashed potatoes!! (try it, it's delish!!) Anyway...I love this blog and hope to get to know you all!!!!

Paula Deen Is Trying to Kill Us, Part 4: Bacon, Doughnut, Egg Burger

Paula Deen is beyond ridiculous. Fame and fortune have turned her into a self absorbed icon. Her jokes about butter, fat, and everything else she uses in her 'so so" recipes are not funny. She serves to reinforce the notion that southern women are backward, silly and syrupy sweet. Those of us who have fought to overcome that perception are not happy.

Paula, all you do is give overweight, unhealthy fans permission to continue down their destructive path. That is truly not at all comical. At least make an attempt to offer suggestions for healthy changes in your recipes. Maybe your just tell your audience, "be like me smoke, don't exercise, eat unhealthy and see where that gets you". The jokes that you make are truly a "thumb your nose" gesture to your fans and make your "love and best dishes" sign-off totally disingenuous.

Perhaps Paula has not noticed that we have a health crisis in our nation that is even affecting kids. Thanks Paula for making sure we have your permission to add another stick of butter to our already clogged arteries.

Food network should rein her in.

I can't say I've tasted all of those, but I don't think anything can top Jaques Torres. I'm partial to the "wicked" (that's chocolate with chili, for those who've never been) ice cream between those best-chocolate-chip-cookies-ever, though. I just had one last weekend and I'm craving another now!
