Even good 'ole French Canadian split-pea soup is really good.

Fava beans are great too. Though I need me some meat to flavour it :D pork belly and chorizo  :wub:

We're so old - this thread has turned into sharing recipes.

Pretty far from the KAPland roots of sharing pics of nekkid ladies.

My dad actually made a fantastic ham and pea-soup - one of the few genuine family recipes I can say got passed down.

But beans and a really unctuous cut of meat (ham, pork belly, bacon, pancetta) just works so well :mmm:

Edit: Also, incidentally, mushy peas are actually split-peas not peas peas.

As a fat man I'd have been fine with either back then too :lol:

What's everyone's Zojiroshi model?

Yes, we're old. IIRC, funkmonk and Garbon are the only 2 younger than me and I'm 40.

I kind of wish we'd gotten a bigger one at the time, but I didn't realize how much we'd use it.

I'm making some really good spuds right now in the air fryer.

I got a rice cooker a few months  ago... Just in time for my son to decide he no longer likes curry or rice in general.

I take that as a recommendation on the model. I have a 15 year old 12$ rice cooker. It always overcooks the rice nowadays.

These fucking kids. I tell you man. My son won't eat potatoes (demon) in any form, my daughter won't eat rice. My daughter likes ramen but not the son.  There's barely anything they both like. <_<

Yeah, we had an older, cheap rice cooker.  I mean it worked, but what I noticed is you had to immediately turn it off wen it finished because it would overcook and dry out the rice immediately.

The Zojirushi not only A: has a timer so you can just set it in the morning and have rice at suppertime, B: does a perfect job of keeping the rice warm but not overcooking/drying it out, and C: I just very forgiving if you happen just a little too much or too little water.

Highly recommended.
