What are you craving?

I come to post I'm craving a frozen custard and see this ^ :neutral:
Passed by a custard place by me undergoing renovation that has very good almond or oat, in house made frozen custards. Should reopen this spring

Tamales. 😍
I need to try making them again. I've failed a few times...I can't get the cornmeal to the right consistency...so now I'm intimidated to make them again.

Do you mean masa instead of corn meal? That's why I've never made them. I once bought masa, and did make a reasonable tamale pie, but never got around to actually smearing the dough on husks and wrapping and steaming.....I've since found parchment is a good sub 🙄
Anyway, the rest of the bag went bad and I haven't seen it in stores since-I mean I haven't looked...
When I was a kid we'd sometimes buy them canned and I loved them!

Yes, masa. 😊 I just think of it as extra finely ground cornmeal. Now I have to google it lol. It's my favorite part of tamales. I don't even think I need anything stuffed inside it. But then I guess it would be bland.

@PTree15 You probably saw the Easy Lemon Cake recipe shyvas posted this month, yes? It sure looks good.

@shyvas All those cravings sound great... but I don't know what it is about raspberries once they're cooked, in doughnuts or otherwise. They just lose something.

The above are my favourite goodies that you can only get in the UK.

Raspberry jam doughnuts are delicious. You cannot fry doughnuts with raspberry puree; it has to be jam.

I did, Tom! If I have time, I may make that later today. Right now, I'm making two batches of black bean burgers. :P

I have never understood why I don't like black bean burgers! Black beans are my favourite pulses but not as a burger! o_O
I would probably like them if I made them myself, where I can adjust seasonings accordingly. I cannot eat them from restaurants and it's usually because the seasonings are overpowering.

I have used seasoning that I really like but hated the end result. As I have previously said, I really do like black beans so it remains a mystery. o_O

I never had the grilled cheese that I was craving awhile ago so the craving is back.

I think I like black beans best when they are mixed with other beans in a salad or salsa. My daughter's MIL makes a really good salsa and she brings it to every family function. It's so good.

I often see black beans paired with sweet potatoes. I tried that a few times but didn't really see what the fuss was about. It was just ok for me but probably the issue was more with how I made them.

I like black beans in all types of recipes except for burgers. Love, bean salads and also with sweet potatoes. I find that likes and dislikes can be quite strange at times. Why do you like one ingredient and not another one?
