What did you cook or eat today? (October 2025)

MrsT requested what’s quickly becoming “the usual” for Sunday nights:

I love creamed corn fritters. Served with splash Worcester sauce. Don't knock until you try.

Russ

I think you probably don't know this, but American style creamed corn often has sugar added to it. Lots. I would likely enjoy creamed corn fritters just fine, especially if you made them, as long as you don't dump a buttload of sugar in them!

 

[medtran49]

What's Nola style please?

Russ

New Orleans, Louisiana. LA is abbreviation for Louisiana, so NOLA.

Barely cooked oysters, and I mean just barely, just enough for them to start plumping, with a compound butter of garlic, green onions, creole seasoning, thyme, a touch of worchestershire, some lemon juice, salt and pepper.

Yup. I knew it wasn't likely you understood how horrible some American creamed corn is. In Texas they make a spicy and savory version that's delicious. I love cornbread with corn in it too.

Re: sweet potatoes

We Americans bake them in a casserole with marshmallows on top.

I know.
Someone was smoking a funny cigarette when that was invented

More like drinking too much moonshine.

Edit:
Why We Can't Resist Marshmallows On Sweet Potatoes At Thanksgiving

Oh, I can easily resist.

 

[karadekoolaid]

I love sweet potatoes.
I'm not adverse to a marshmallow or two, although I'd rather have Turkish delight.
The two of them together, however, is like apple pie with anchovies, or vanilla ice cream with ginger & garlic pickle.
I utterly respect your love of this weird combination, however.

 

[JAS_OH1]

I utterly respect your love of this weird combination, however.

I strongly dislike them both, together or by themselves.

 

[rascal]

We had sweet tatters aka kumara chips tonight.. man so good.

I hadn't considered freezing them. Do they lose much? And how do you reheat yours from frozen?
