How did I make it like 40 years on this planet before anyone told me about harissa?
All y'all are fired
@ricci I am SO INTO SAUCES. My sister and I call ourselves the saucy sisters and we dressed up as sauces for Halloween. Obviously my favorite sauce is Lao Gan Ma, the beloved Chinese chili oil sauce, but I love many kinds of sauces.
@irene I love chili oils, I'll have to see if I can find some of this next time I go to the Chinese supermarket

It's a Utah thing, Harmon's usually has it - or they show up at farmers markets and stuff. (Get the original, the Habanero one is just spicy, it's missing the smokiness of the original.)
@ricci @jroelofs @irene @regehr The difference between our two cultures is that when I went to Beijing to meet @irene's family, they served me a weird gelatin dish to see what they could get the white guy to eat.
When @irene went to visit my dad's family in Ohio, she thought they were just trolling her when they brought out a plate of Jello salad... until my cousin walked in and said "wow, Jello salad, I'm going to skip dinner and just eat a big plate of that!'
@ricci @dan @jroelofs @regehr To be clear, this is the only kind of jello my culture eats. It usually has peanuts in it and while weird, it’s delicious. https://redhousespice.com/pork-rind-jelly/
