Why are you trying to keep your rice out of your curry, who eats them separately, that's insane

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Because I like to eat fluffy rice, not soaking wet rice.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

But the whole point of rice is to bulk out more expensive food. Even the expensive Japanese sticky rice is just there to stretch out the actual food.

Well our primary diet is rice lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Well then put it into a separate bowl.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

Seriously. Soak my rice in my curry, soak my rice in my butter chicken, and soak my rice in my caldo and menudo. That's what that shit is for!

Cheese with Japanese curry? Sounds pretty whacky, whatever shape it's in.

Also there's an elegant solution to keeping some rice visible out of the curry and it doesn't involve any extra ingredients.

Cheese curry is pretty common these days. The cheap chains like Yoshinoya and Sukiya have it, as does Coco's.

Is Japanese curry basically like the curry you would get from a chipper in the UK?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I'm less familiar with UK curries, but in general Japan tends to prefer sweeter food than India, so the curries would reflect those differences. Nowadays (in the last 5-10 years-ish) spicier options have become more widely available, but the traditional dishes still reflect the differences.

I don't know about Japanese curry with cheese but it sounds pretty good

I really like saag paneer which is like an Indian curry with firm cheese blocks

[–] [email protected] 24 points 3 weeks ago

Okay but isn't it the whole purpose of the rice, to be flooded with curry?

Why would I want to keep the curry out of my rice? I think the cheese jacks would be better equipped to stop tanks from invading my curry because that would actually ruin the food.

Caltrop cheese

Captain Janeway doesn't have time to worry about your curry.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Nnnoooo, god damn it! I was in the midst of rewatching Voyager, and now you've seared "Janeway cheese" all across my perception! Thanks...

They look like those concrete things that they use to build embankments in the sea.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

Isn't that the point? Those shapes are called tetrapod and this pretty much does the same thing preventing curry from mixing with rice. Although I don't understand why you would do that when you end up adding both when you eat anyway.

I see them and I hear the music from Katamari Damacy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Let's get. Together. Katamari on the funk

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Well, yes. That's the point. You won't believe what they're called.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

All cheese is tetrapod cheese

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

There's plant-based cheese ...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes but that’s also made by tetrapods

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe to you there is. I've never met one that is worthy of the name cheese.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

Never even tried any of them, because I have yet to see one that isn't just fat (mammal cheese has fat and protein). But I don't like Harzer Roller (a stinky soft cheese), either, and yet most people insist on calling it "cheese".

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 weeks ago

And here I was pouring my curry directly over my rice, like a fool.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's an insane amount of curry and cheese for that tiny portion of rice.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

That half of the plate is really deep.

Only some of us are

How the hell could a tetrapod

Be able to blend in?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Hast thou considered the tetrapod cheese?
