fried egg omelette

...isn't that what all omelettes are?

No, you fry an egg separately and put it inside the omelette. It's great.

This. All the deliciousness of an omelette with the added wonder of a runny yolk.

Bought a whole chicken to put in the slow cooker

While preparing it, I was about to throw the giblets out like I usually do. I thought to myself - some people like these, I might as well try them before I just throw them out.

Lunch comes around. Not really sure how to cook them, a quick google search lists about a million gravy recipes and a few recipes to cook them into stuffing. So I just slice them up, put a little vegetable oil in a pan and fry them, and eat them with a baked microwaved potato.

And....

What a disappointment.  The neck is like a chicken wing with almost no meat. The heart is a little tough, the gizzard is *very* tough, and the liver has an interesting texture.... but they all taste just like dark chicken meat.

I had been hoping if they were not delicious, they would at least be disgusting in an interesting way but nope... they are just boring.

Maybe I'll try making them into gravy next time.

Chicken hearts and gizzards fried in butter with garlic and a bit of vinegar is the best popcorn chicken recipe, though. Never found a good use for neck, though, and liver is best as a gravy or stuffing ingredient yeah.

[GiglameshDespair]

Yeah, those are generally used to make stock rather than to eat themselves. Use your slow-cooker, make chicken soup out of the bones and giblets.

Over here you can buy packs of chicken hearts in supermarket, fried with some teriyaki sauce they make for a great snack.

I am going to pick up peameal bacon this week, and do Peameal bacon and eggs on a bun. Add some cheese. Breakfast of champions.

I think you can get chicken gizzards in a pack here
Some people fri em but most people I know use it for fishing bait


I've had them once or twice, they are ok, slightly more ok dipped in ketchup but not something I would eat normally

Spoiler: I tried to make bread (click to show/hide)

It, um, didn't turn out how I hoped it would. It tasted like a giant saltine, only somewhat softer and minus the salt. It wasn't bad, and fairly filling. My mom that I was insane to eat it. So much for a cheaper alternative to store-bought bread.

[timferius]

Try this!. We've had success with this recipe in the past, it takes a bit of prep though.

[Sappho]

Bread baking is tricky. Takes lotsa practice and it helps if you have someone who knows what they're doing who can help you with it.

I've had success with Chinese steamed buns. Good practice for making dough, but crazy simple, and you put filling in it and it doesn't matter if the dough itself doesn't taste like anything special. You need a bamboo steamer though.

I feel lazy that my family has a bread making machine thingy.
You make the dough and then throw it in and it bakes it into a fat loaf

[Arx]

My mother wants one of those. My sister (who has now moved out...) always bakes it by hand. She's very, very good at winging recipes.

Know what those things are amazing at making? Cinnamon roll dough. Seriously.
