Conquer Club

A place to confess your more egregious crimes against gourmandise.

I apply both mustard and ketchup to hot dogs

ketchup and mustard on a hot dog is good but add bacon and cheese and you have the perfect hot dog.

Recipes my GF found on pintrest and had to make, but were so bad not even our dogs would eat them:

Chocolate Chicken

Shrimp nestled in a nuked wheel of brie (looks like a shirmp cocktail but with cheese)

Baked Brie should be good white WITH shrimp. It's good with fruit and or jam.

I like hotdogs with salsa conqueso and jalepenos.

Friggin autocorrect. >:-(

i like processed mac & cheese loaf...

Haggis. Scotch eggs. Scotch pies. It's all good.

Cod Mornay pancakes.

Hmm, adding chillies, dried chillies, chilli powder, chilli flakes, and chilli sauce to anything that I'm slow cooking. I get bored and can't leave them alone, so if it requires a few hours on a slow heat, it will come out tasting like chillies.

I'm ok with it, but it's essentially inedible to most other people.

I am the same, except i add vegemite instead of chilli and not just to slow cooking, but soups, meats, veges and salads too. I add Vegemite too almost anything.

When I'm on a marmite binge, I'll do the same, but maybe draw the line at salads.

To be fair, I'm probably going to try that though.

my favourite sandwich is vegemite, tomato and lettuce

I'm not a priest, save that confession for last rites TeeGee.

That said, one of the best sandwiches I ever had was sliced burned sausages, marshmallow spread, and strawberry jam on sliced white bread.

Hot dog (preferably burned) with cream cheese

When I was in college, I would eat peanut butter, jelly, and cheddar sandwiches.

This isn't crazy at all.

At least cocoa with chicken.
The brie isn t a strong cheese at all so it makes sense.

Adding bacon and cheese to a hot og is just not a hotdog anymore. It isn't always the more the better.

Peanut butter and roquefort... come on duke. You're killing the roquefort there.
I admit i love roquefort with butter. Even if you re not supposed to.

Try it...

I don't use enough to kill it. Just a light coating.

Chocolate with Chicken is not something amateurs should be pursuing. Cocoa is a bit more acceptable, but is still a very strong dominating flavor to pair with chicken.

In general seafood and cheese is a no-no. There are exceptions, and great chefs can certainly push boundaries but just because something can go together in the hands of an expert doesn't mean you should be doing it at home... I mean really cold shrimp dipped in hot cheese? You think that's ok?

I thought you put the shrimp in with the Brie before melting. I also had to fix my response.

I love shrimp, and though it might not be my first choice, I'm pretty sure you would need something more powerful than melty Brie to ruin them for me.

This is excellent advice. I have a friend from Venezuela. She wanted to cook some chicken in chocolate and invited people over to try it. It was a disaster on many levels.

Yo Teege....i watched a video just the other day of americans trying vegemite....funny as hell. A buddy brought me back some when he last travelled to oz land. I will politely say it must be an acquired taste....

Cannot fathom a VLT sandwich.....lol

And the crockpot thing....i simply can't leave it alone either...lmao.

Got qn old fashioned real earthenware crock going right now with 8 lbs of sauerkraut fermenting. This time I added carroway and poppy seeds as well as a,little thyme, oregano and basil. Wondering if I ruined it......loo

I've had amazing Mole from Rick Bayliss restaurants, and also from my buddy Andreas (from Mexico's) wife, she makes amazing Mole. But Mole is also a tiny bit of chocolate in with like 30 other ingredients cooked for many many hours. So again, it is possible but anyone I've ever talked to that has simply cooked chicken and chocolate together at home has failed miserably (like your friend and my GF).

I was gonna say that I often add chocolate to chili, even if it's not a full-blown mole, but I guess you sorta said it for me.

It wasn't actively terrible, just kind of weird. The first warning sign that she didn't know what she was doing was when she bought a whole raw chicken and asked me to take all the bones out.

That's fairly funny. Sounds like it could have gone much worse.

Many decades ago we went to my aunt's house and she bought a jar of Pizza Quick. Fairly sure that was the name. It was a particular tomato sauce and the idea was you put in on lightly toasted bread added shredded mozzarella and got pizza for kids.

So my well intentioned aunt was a bit dangerous in a kitchen. She fully toasts them, adds the sauce and a slice of Kraft processed on top, puts them in the oven and chars them pretty bad,

I went from extremely excited to, "I don't know if I can eat this." in record time.

Toasted peanut butter (crunchy) with a slice of processed cheese sandwich.
