According to Eric’s theory, if you place the toppings for a taco or a hot dog on the bottom, the meat acts as a weight and holds everything in place.
It works wonderfully well on hot dogs! The only word of caution is don’t go too heavy on the condiments. Keep your proportions right.
Tacos stay together better AND the heat of the meat melts the cheese!
Next test: buttering corn on the cob with a piece of bread. The Scramblers have all lived in Iowa all their lives and have never heard of this method of butter application.
It WORKS! Eric, Clare, and Destiny all had perfectly buttered corn. Bonus: you also get a perfectly buttered slice of bread.
We start with some dips. Eric recommended we try Malt Vinegar like they do with fish and chips in the U.K.
Destiny was NOT a fan. But Clare agreed with Eric. Malt Vinegar adds some sour, some salt. Very good!
We all thought we’d LOVE honey butter dipping sauce for our fries–inspired by South Korea. Maybe our mixture of butter and honey was off? It was very ‘meh.’
Clare recommended we try some fries she first tasted at a local Indian restaurant. Masala Fries are french fries coated in a spicy tomato masala sauce. Our sauce was very mild. Just ok.
Our friends to the north, Canada, gave us Poutine: French fries and cheese curds covered in gravy. It was AMAZING!
