People Explain Which Foods Taste Better When They're A Little Burnt

There's Two Kinds Of People In This World...

Grilled marshmallows with that crispy black shell. Don't know why but I love it

MinnaLido

I don't know why but the image of someone sitting there flipping marshmallows on a grill with tongs is getting me.

Koreans Call This "Knurungji"

When cooking rice on the stove, the rice at the bottom of the pot is usually a little more cooked than the rice on top. If I'm careless, that rice can end up being burnt.

On the other hand, when rice is only slightly burnt such that it turns into a nutty brown color, it becomes fantastic.

Leftover Cheese? Yes, Please.

The melted Gruyere cheese melted under the broiler on a crouton atop a crock of French onion soup.

Onions That Give You That Caramelized Crunch

Plantains. Those little burnt crispy pieces you get sometimes are the best thing ever.

Also onions that have been roasted with a turkey or chicken or whatever. You get the sweet caramelized onion and a little burned char piece with the onion. I want to top everything with those.

Sausages in general. Just delightful with a bit of char. Some can even be better when a little overcooked and crumbly (black and bleu brats, though varies a lot by butcher).

Enough Salt And Cheese Fixes Everything

Roasted Brussels sprouts. Don't knock it til you've tried it - they're soft on the inside.

It blows my mind how many people legit hate brussel sprouts.

Put them in a casserole dish with some oil, salt, and pepper. Bake them at 350 for like 10-15 minutes and you're all set

The hallmark of a good diner is when you order hash browns well done and they actually cook it well done.

There's a very fine line with bacon. I need some chew

Candied bacon is indeed always amazing with some char.

Grilled cheese duh

_stoned_chipmunk_

How did I need to scroll this far down to find this answer? When making a grilled cheese, I always use cheese that's slightly larger than the bread, so that the edges of the cheese melts directly on the pan. And then getting the bread to a perfect golden-brown, or slightly more if you feel like it, is just perfection.
