They probably used less food coloring, if any.
 
I like making blue pancakes for fun, and rainbow cupcakes with glitter frosting. I call those unicorn turds.

@QueenCold  
What a cultured name.

@HJSDGCE  
A silly name for a silly treat.

I finally got the courage to cook bratwurst.

@HighRollerHydra  
I’ve been eating bratwurst for 6 months since I came here.

Fried and crispy mushrooms.  
Mmm :D

 
Chard pizza-meatpie with fries because that day I was feeling like doing some crazy things.
 
It worked.

@Anonycat  
It would look amazing if the tomatoes didn’t somehow make the whole thing look like a monstrosity.

I need a recipe for spicy deer sausage. It’s almost deer season.

@HJSDGCE  
Yeah, I admit the tomatoes were a bit difficult to eat because this thing was very soft and so cutting the tomatoes without squishing everything was a bit complicared when I ate it.  
But the sour/bitter combination of the cheese, tomato and chard worked fine.

Marinating a brisket. It’s just a little over 7 lbs.
 

@QueenCold  
What are you marinating with?

@SquiggyBomb  
I made a barbecue sauce that replicates the barbeque sauce a lot of Chinese restaurants use for ribs. I forgot to add the red food coloring, but that won’t affect the taste.

@SquiggyBomb  
Will this work?

So, I cooked that brisket and cut off a corner. It turned out good!
 
 

@QueenCold  
That interior looks tender!

@SeraphimDawn  
It is! No knife required.

@QueenCold  
Think of all the juice stored in that!

Speaking about juices, if you decide to go to a restaurant, never ask your steaks “well done” because they will serve you a nice, expired steak.  
Yeah, overcooking the steak and soaking it with sauce or garlic masks the smell of rotten meat, I learned this during my time as a cook.

@Anonycat  
Oh god

@mariomarc  
In fact, never eat at a restaurant during Mondays or after a Holiday because they will use all the unsold leftovers from the previous weekend.  
And unless you are very familiar with the place, don’t order soup. In fact, better play it safe and never order the soups because that’s where all the leftovers and spoiled crap tends to go.

@Anonycat  
I barely trust any of my local restaurants to cook a hamburger correctly, much less a steak. Steaks I grill medium rare over a charcoal fire at home, searing them first over the hottest part of the grill to seal in the juices and get a nice char.

@Anonycat  
Why would you ruin a perfectly good steak by making it “well done” in the first place? I always cook mine medium rare.
 
In any case, you must have worked at a deplorable restaurant, because that crap didn’t fly in any of the kitchens I worked in.

@Anonycat
 
@Anonycat  
I guess whoever runs that restaurant needs to get a visit from Gordon Ramsey.

@QueenCold
 
@SeraphimDawn  
It’s a well known fact for any people with restaurant experience that all the old stuff goes first no matter what. And we had to get rid of it unless we wanted to have that crap served as part of our workers’ meals.
 
And yeah, some customers just liked their steaks and sandwiches well done. I remember a guy in particular who was on his late 40’s and every weekend played on a Blues band from the pub next to our place, then after his last song he visited us and always asked for a Churrasco sandwich with it’s meat cooked and dry (sic) “like a shoe sole.”  
He was always stoned, so the first time we thought he was just trying to be funny, but he actually loved his sandwiches like that and ate them like caviar.
