Mu Zeta posted:Who wants the Keurig of tortillas I know this is old, but delicious homemade tortillas are the only thing my beloved grandmother was able to teach me to cook (Not through any fault of her own; I just couldn't pick up anything else). They are cheap, easy, and basically the best things on earth. You can have coffee, hipsters, and broth. You can have the motherfucking Juicero. But don't you put tortillas in a pod. Don't you do that. E: Jesus Christ, it got funded.

Ha, I just realized that the same conversation probably happened decades ago when bread machines were introduced. At least with those you could just pour in actual ingredients, but ugh.... Now that I brought up bread machines, I'm sure the Artisanal Pinch-a-Loaf with disposable muffin-sized packets of flour will be launched

The difference is that with a good bread machine and good ingredients, you still get a much less expensive (and probably healthier) full loaf of bread. With that stupid inbred tortilla machine it's crazy expensive and you get really low-quality tortillas... slowly, one at a time. That would be like getting one slice of bread from a breadmaker at a time, with a quality worse than Wonderloaf.

There actually is a bread-pod machine. It was sold at Walmart. $100 for the machine, $5 per pod... To make one loaf of bread. Considering that decent bread around here is $3 a loaf....

People want their food to be special, because everything is so massed produced and impersonal. Companies take the same poo poo we've always bought and repackage it into something that sounds unique so they charge more for it. In 2016 people want to imagine a humble farmer harvesting their vegetables, someone crushing their grain on a rock, Someone humanely killing a cow that had a great life that is prepared by an old school butcher. They want furniture created by a master craftsmen with old timey tools and cheese made by nuns. None of this poo poo is realistic anymore in the grand scheme of things, so what we generally get are 2 things. A. Corporations re-wording al their packaging to make it sound like we are getting products that give us the right feels and B. Talentless trust fund hipsters masquerading as craftsmen and selling their wares to rich yuppie clowns for absurd prices.

Back in the day, cake mix was totally 'just add water' instant but it sold poorly because it was considered to be used only by kitchen failures who couldn't bake. Betty Crocker hired a psychologist who told them to remove the powdered egg from the mix and add 'just add one egg' to the instructions. It sold like hot err... cakes because now the baker had a tiny degree of agency in the baking process. Tldr; people are dumb and will pay for the illusion of agency.

Posting because I do my own bacon at home, not for some hipstery poo poo reason but because I find all this stuff intriguing and can experiment and stuff (same reason I homebrew, make sausages, make jerky etc) anyway different woods do impart different flavours. I've found fruit woods to be less noticeable but add a sweetness to the meat whereas mesquite and hickory give it a huge smoke flavour. I stick with the same maple syrup base cure as well. Speaking of which, I think I'm due for some.

I went to lunch at a new cafe with coworkers today to celebrate the end of a particularly grueling week. I ordered a burger, while they had various pasta dishes. They were served first, all on normal plates, though they had tried to be fancy (?) by drizzling vinegarette all over the edges in loops. The waiter stuck his thumb in it as he handed each plate over, and my coworkers all had to stick their thumbs in it to take the plates, so it was rather dumb. I commented how nice it was that at least one place in the area still served food on plates. Unfortunately at that point the waiter brought out my burger on a stupid wooden board with a metal jar of chips. It was overpriced and mediocre at best, further reinforcing my belief that going out to eat for lunch is a terrible waste of money.

From what I've heard, a lot of chefs and restaurant owners are actually embracing this kind of thing as a source of free advertisement (and for chefs, showing off their good-looking food to a huge audience). The restaurants and owners who turn their noses up at social media or even try to ban cell phone usage are being seen as stodgy.
