That's a bitchin' kitchen!

That tea looks super-bomb. I'm totally a sucker for elusive, terribly expensive, gourmet things like that. I've been personally debating picking up a legitimate bottle of balsamic vinegar, approved by the consortium. Shit's like $100 though.

Nice kitchen dada. I'm actually very surprised they sell HP sauce in the netherlands, I thought it was just a british thing
Not pictured is a bottle of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce sitting right next to it.

One thing I haven't figured out yet is what "double cream" is. I'm sure we have it here, but maybe under a different name.

Oh yeah, you should definitely see if there's a tea shop somewhere close to where you live. The only thing I actually spend any notable amount of money on is tea. I'm lucky since there's a really good store here in Rotterdam that sells this stuff for a fair price. You can also find lots of good stuff online, though then it's usually a little more expensive. This guy sells good pu-erhs, among other things.

It just looks like that because I barely have any cupboards to store things in. Also I live alone and I rarely get takeaway food.

Because it's a very tiny space and there's also a waching machine there. I had to choose: if I wanted to be able to open those two cupboards I would have to get a cooktop instead.

If you come by Rotterdam some day you can film me as I grill a slice of swordfish.

ahahaha another bad example due to the pizza box but here's my kitchen

those dunkin donuts were my flatmates, she brings them back when she travels (there's one at the airport) and that palmers sale really wasn't that super (palmers is a plant place, i had actually just come home and put the mail on the counter (my keys are there too))

 I spotted a pizza box. You eatin' right, boi?   :fogetangry:
How about no!? You are an idiotic version of a baboon.

Awesome! Would you recommend anything specific? I was thinking of just ordering a sample of one of the first flush teas they have there. To see how it is and such.

You need to keep in mind that if you live in the Western world you're probably used to very strong flavors (like Earl Grey, for example, or even the bagged versions of green tea). That means it's going to be difficult at first to discern between green teas before you're used to the subtlety. So for that reason I wouldn't necessarily suggest getting very expensive or fancy tea right from the get-go. (Rule of thumb is that the flavor gets more subtle as the price increases.)

Sencha is a good green tea which comes in several different price ranges. This is the "normal" Japanese tea, and you can probably get this in any self-respecting Asian market. You might want to try first flush Darjeeling, which is the same tea as on my photo. It's a black tea but has a very light flavor. Definitely something you should try at some point. Also, Ching Wo is excellent black tea. It's about as strong as Earl Grey but has a much fuller flavor.

Any of these are good starting points. There are hundreds if not thousands of different teas to try, and I only mentioned green and black teas here. There's also oolong tea, white tea, yellow tea, post-fermented tea, and numerous different kinds of pu-erh.

Make sure you get a teapot that allows you to brew loose leaf tea.

What the fuck happened to this topic?  While this is some good conversation, I was promised pictures of shitty food, and it has not delivered.  I think Psyburn has finally realized how good he's really got it.  That canned cheese a la mode really takes the cake.

Well at least you're honest. Seriously though, take a cooking class if you can.
"I would be totally embarassed to write this, even as a fakepost. it's not funny except in how you seem to think it's good. look at all the redundancies, for fuck's sake. "insipid semantics, despicable mediocrity" ugh gross gross. I want to take a shower every time I read your prose." -Steel
