I’ve never squashed any vegetable, just need to become one with the knife and feel the vegetables.

      I think something like jackfruit is harder to cut. Durian can be split open perfectly by tracing the lines and split point on the bottom of the fruit. Ripe durian also does not really have sap iirc. Jackfruit have stickier sap and have to be split opened properly to get the flesh and pits contact.

    The way Andrew cuts mangos is like almost the best way to do it. Use a small potato peeling knife, insert along the edge and run it along the seed on one side all the way around, then do the same on the other side. Cut up halves like andrew does but with a lot less difficulty because you're using a tiny knife.

    • @marinaa9013

      I like to take the halves, cut a few slices and then peel those. Then if I want cubes I can cube it up later. Makes me feel like it takes away less of the fruit and also I also feel like it doesn't take as long cause I don't have to cut individual cubes off the peel

    I can answer the tail-on shrimp thing: When you're just eating the shrimp by itself-cooked with some seasoning, maybe dipped in some sauce-then the tail acts as a little handle. When you get shrimp with the tails still on in a pasta dish, that just means the restaurant bought tail-on shrimp because it's cheaper, then was too lazy to remove the tails before using them in cooking.

After 4 different stores, all ending with failure, I marched into a liquor store and asked what to substitute for red cooking wine. The guy was incredibly helpful, as when I explained I was making curry, he said since it's something strong and flavorful and something that didn't interrupt those flavors would be best, so a cheap merlot, which he got for me. Worked fine and still had enough left over for a glass.
