Cooking wine. I'm 99.99999999% sure that you don't get carded for it. Basically because only the most desperate drunk would actually drink it. kwolf 06-19-2006, 09:19 PM vinegar Gorlax 06-19-2006, 09:20 PM vinegar thedrummingfish 06-19-2006, 09:21 PM Cooking wine.

Maine isnt the best place to find good ingrediants for good food...its basicaly wall-mart and maybe a few small shops here or there. thedrummingfish 06-19-2006, 09:22 PM Are any of the women on their period? har har arnt you a funny meber... Phyzx 06-19-2006, 09:22 PM chicken stock is a better replacement. Add a bit of vinegar to mimic the bite that wine will give you. thedrummingfish 06-19-2006, 09:23 PM what exactly do you mean by stock, like broth or what? sorry, its been a long time since ive done any major cooking. Phyzx 06-19-2006, 09:25 PM ya, chicken broth. What are you cooking? n9ne 06-19-2006, 09:26 PM my cock thedrummingfish 06-19-2006, 09:27 PM its a chicken dish with feta cheese, olives etc. served over orzo. Durak 06-19-2006, 09:27 PM beer is a completely different taste than wine add vinegar, though ull need to use something less strong than white vinegar balsamic or sherry kwolf 06-19-2006, 09:27 PM my cock don't think there is enough of that to spare even a dash :D thedrummingfish 06-19-2006, 09:29 PM beer is a completely different taste than wine add vinegar, though ull need to use something less strong than white vinegar balsamic or sherry i really really dislike the taste beer lends when cooked in a meal. Phyzx 06-19-2006, 09:32 PM its a chicken dish with feta cheese, olives etc. served over orzo. Red wine is used in cooking for a couple different things. Mainly, it's used for flavoring and aromatics, although it can also be used to tenderize meat, deglaze pans for sauces, and for thinning down dishes (used in long-cooking stews/soups). DO NOT use vinegar on a 1-to-1 ratio as red wine, or your dish will be foul (pun intended). does your recipe already call for chicken broth? When does it come into your dish? thedrummingfish 06-19-2006, 09:35 PM Red wine is used in cooking for a couple different things.

When does it come into your dish? no it doesnt call for broth already, and the wine is used durring the actual cooking of the chicken, it goes in at the same time as tomatoes, oregano, and the olives. cogzinofa 06-19-2006, 09:38 PM chicken broth and red wine vinegar would be the best substitute. won't taste the same, but it won't taste bad. cooking wine is a bad idea...only cook with wine you'd drink. Kurayami 06-19-2006, 09:39 PM There's also red wine vinegar. Which is basically wine that has gone beyond the point of no return. Cooking wine is wine that has been salted (to prevent it from becoming vinegar.) But cooking wine is your best bet if you don't want to get carded. I wasn't carded when I bought a bottle, and it's sold on Sundays, so I assume it isn't treated like regular alcohol. | ||
