Passive-Aggressive Notes: Kosher Cooking Edition
You know that blog Passive-Aggressive Notes? Well, tonight when heating up my first chicken nuggets in God-if-such-a-thing-existed-would-know-how-long (having recently more-or-less finished up all the locally grown, nearly organic, free-range, hand-plucked-by-me kosher chicken in the freezer), I spotted these instructions for preparing the nuggets in the microwave:
(I was going to submit the image to PAN, but holy crap on a crapstick, their submission guidelines are more oppressive than an Egyptian slave-driver!)
Yes, I know these nuggets have the carbon footprint of an ocean liner. Spare me the lecture. They are also delicious. Particularly when dipped in Hoisen sauce. Well, pretty much anything is delicious when dipped in Hoisen sauce. In fact, when I was in high school my friend Chris and I dreamed of one day opening Chris & Dave’s House of Hoisen to proselytize the world to this philosophy. But I digress.
And my bottle of Hoisen comes from Passaic, NJ, which in Jewish geography terms is practically walking distance. Which is to say, suck it, Hazon. Actually, don’t. More for me.
Haha. Priceless. Thanks for sharing!
Dlevy, please keep the kosher snark up.
That is all.
I’ll second Danya on that. I only wish there was video of you making these…
More videos will be coming soon. But trust me, when they do, they will be far more interesting than me heating up frozen chicken nuggets.
I think revisiting the Tofutti Cuties situation with the addition of video documentation would not be out of line.
So did you microwave them or not?
Chas v’shalom I should microwave them. I only aim for the best quality in my frozen chicken byproducts.
Was it better than schnitzel?
I mentioned the Hoisen sauce, didn’t I? QED
That is hilarious. I love this kosher snarkfest, too. More please!
How did you get the hoison??
I need it.
fun post.
More videos will be coming soon.
Your cameraman will be back home soon to help with this.
The Hoisen sauce comes from the supermarket (specifically, the newly reopened Shaw’s on Route 9 in Chestnut Hill, MA) and is pretty delicious. I believe it is “Iron Chef” brand. I know, I’ll never be a real foodie. (But Ben, if you’re into Asian foods, make sure you check out the Super88 Markets.)
