I've done grapes. Carbonated grapes were OK as a novelty but for me not worth repeating. The main use for my iSi's (I have four) is method rotuts, of which I am fond. Beyond MR I currently have a pint of whipped cream in the refrigerator. Most recently I acquired an insulated iSi. I am still looking for an interesting application.

I shall never again settle down with my mai tai at the computer on an empty stomach, placing an order from Whole Foods. And while I am at it I will never again persist in unscrewing the cap from a wine bottle that had already been opened.

William Saurin seems readily available to me from amazon. What is the difference between the varieties? Other cassoulet brands I see on offer are La belle chaurienne and Casino. On second thought, William Saurin is $15.93 a can, plus $24.71 shipping.

I wasn't that taken with it. I did not see anything that I would actually cook. Though there were a number of dishes I might enjoy if someone served them to me. -
Made in New Jersey. Ships from California.

Is this the stuff? (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) -
Does not seem to be available in this country, otherwise I would have liked to try it.

How did it taste?

They still look rather like shallots.

I'd serve the endive raw or, at worst, I'd grill it. Braised green vegetables have never done it for me.

On the bright side then it probably won't matter. -
Peppercorns, black, white, green (and their culinary cousins).

I recall one spice monger mentioning flowing water in their white pepper verbiage. I don't remember which seller that was. I believe the method processing of the peppercorns varies by country and region of production. -
How many grams in the package of instant yeast?

What movie did you watch? I'd be interested in the details of your 45 minute dough. It's been a long time since I've had a pizza.

I've never tasted Cincinnati chili, but speaking seriously I would love to know the origin. -

The baker is like a matador.

Cornish game hen. I always try to dine after midnight so that if I choke I will still have made it to another year. Much method rotuts.

Indeed, I like Spice Trekkers. They have things that are difficult to source otherwise. -
I am in the US, and I have never seen Durkees for sale. I suspect it is a hoax.

You need steam! For the baguettes I would suggest an Anova Precision Oven if you can find one where you live.

I too can seldom find green pepper anymore. It's somewhere in my spice cupboard. Originally I purchased green pepper to make steak au poivre. Still waiting. I would love shame or encouragement! Pink pepper, so far, I have employed only for making ice cream -- Rose Levy Beranbaum's recipe Fire and Ice. Don't ask, just do it. In cooking I almost never use pepper. However I season my food heavily at the table with black or red (eg. further ripened black peppercorns). White pepper when a recipe calls for it or for when I'm in the mood. I find the flavor of black or red much more complex and fragrant than white. I've read some people cannot fully taste the aromatics of black pepper. Anyhow, count me as a pepper lover.
