The sauce in the spoon looks like a pickled cucumber, including the cucumber peel.

I usually have good luck with serious eats recipes.

The pickle is a lie!

Can you see the thing I’m talking about? Just near the spoon. It’s not just me, right?

Is that a savory bread pudding?? I’ve only eaten sweet ones, but I spy green things that I can only guess are pickles??

So, how was it?

My wife brought me to a Mexican fast food spot from her childhood - they had “mexi-fries” on the menu, which were literally just tater tots.

This must have been over 10 years ago, but we still exclusively refer to tots as mexi-fries.

I guess this makes your meal a Mexi-poutine?

That was a fun little rabbit hole to go down!

“A bun”

I’m curious why you’d put so much effort into the rest of the ingredients, and not do something special with the bun. The bun looks grilled at least! Looks delicious!

Yeah guy

Nice - my new oven has an air frying mode, maybe I’ll give this a shot. Does anyone have any experience with how oven air frying compares to countertop units?

Yes!

Also could be pound cake, strawberries, ice cream, and chocolate syrup

I’m stealing this picture and reposting it later as a dessert ;)

Thanks for posting noods!

Can you describe this for us?

I should be thanking you for the interesting concept! Looking forward to your results!

Thank you!

Did you ever try blanching the skin before frying it? Here’s an article for getting crispy skin on chicken cooked sous vide, which isn’t exactly the same, but I wonder if the technique could apply here.

Can you share the process for making the fried skin?
