Efexeye posted:my wife cooks for 36 hours on thanksgiving and the day before and then eats nothing until an hour after the meal when she has a bowl of cold mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy with a turkey sandwich. I sort of get this. Any time I make a really involved meal I just want a cigarette and to stare at people eating it. The desire to eat it just vanishes.

Usually if I spend more than an hour or two cooking some huge meal, I've tasted it so much along the way that I'm already full and completely over the whole thing by the time it's ready

HelloIAmYourHeart posted:What the absolute gently caress. This is like the polar opposite of the kid who won't eat anything that touches anything else. I'm imagining him eating with a serving spoon. How does a person even get this way? 5 foot 9, 195 lbs, not an ounce of fat, and died in the traces at 93 years old. He was a lifelong farmer and just wanted to get the eating out of the way so he could get back in the field. Sometimes you just need calories and you don't care what you're eating I guess. Your imagination is correct, he always ate his puddle of slop with a serving spoon.

Oh the chicken festival. The first few years I lived here downtown it was awesome but I've lived here so long now that I just find it totally annoying and I dread September now. The chicken is apparently pretty good but I'll be damned if I'll pay what they want for it when I live across the street and can make my own.

Some people are definitely like this. Eating is just a waste of time, etc. These are the people who come up with Soylent. I mean, not me, food and savoring it is a source of great joy. But some just have no desire or patience for it.

I wish I had taken a picture of this one. As a bit of set up, my mother is about as terrible of cook as you can get. She's vaguely aware of the concept of cooking, but approaches in a cargo cult fashion. She seems to think that if she just shoves things that vaguely resemble the food she wants to make together that it'll result in something good. She also has a garden. And like most gardens it produces way more vegetables than a person can actually eat since you don't want to have zucchini four days a week. And she doesn't understand that you have to pick vegetables when you are going to use them so she inevitably picks them and lets them rot on her table. So last night she decided to make dinner. And she wanted to use some of her bumper crop of cucumbers. So what she did was peel and slice up a few cucumbers, put them in a bowl, and then dumped white vinegar on them. I did not make that up.

On it's way to pressgurka, Swedish cucumber salad. Fresh seedless cucumbers, salt, sugar, vinegar and parsley. This is one of the traditional sides for Swedish meatballs.

I love William Gibson's description of a breakfast burrito in The Peripheral: 'Jimmy's breakfast burritos were gross. Scrambled eggs and chopped-up bacon, green onions. Exactly what she wanted right now.' There is a party store up the road here that makes almost this exact burrito, but with potatoes also. It's the best breakfast in town.

Random Stranger posted:I wish I had taken a picture of this one. This is a totally normal dish that people who are good cooks make all the time. I would have added thinly sliced red onions and fresh dill; other people would have added sugar and/or parsley, and so on, but "fresh cucumbers plus vinegar" is the basis of a standard summer side salad. Did we all miss something that made this afp, or do you just not like cucumbers? Or vinegar?

Malt vinegar and chopped garlic with diced cucumber is a pretty standard salad but white vinegar? That's a bit weird isn't?

straight vinegar is a bit odd but thai style cucumber relish/salad uses white vinegar, sugar, salt and hot peppers.

I unfortunately do not have a picture of the stuff, but a cafeteria I worked at had to serve about eight hundred Chinese people. To that end, we did our best to make the place look "Asian," as my supervisors said. We had bamboo, asiany flowers, the works. Then we made the food. Usually we make fish because this Chinese group is notorious for eating fish like it has cocaine laced into it, but in another section of the building we served Ramen noodles. I went over to eat it because I wanted my life to be more like my Japanese animes, but it wasn't ramen. They labeled it ramen, but instead they served spaghetti noodles. As an Anime American I was insulted. So in an effort to serve the Chinese something culturally relevant, we served them a Japanese meal using Italian noodles. These people also turned out to be from Taiwan.

I love to do that pickled salad with cukes, onion, and tomatoes in a nice tangy vinaigrette. You load it in a jar and let it steep in the fridge for a couple of days. I am so glad there are some restaurants that serve a good version, since I generally can't wait for the steeping time to finish...

Nazareth posted:I unfortunately do not have a picture of the stuff, but a cafeteria I worked at had to serve about eight hundred Chinese people.

I'll stir fry and use them in noodle soups a lot because they tend to hold their texture longer and better if they're in a broth.

You can turn spaghetti into something very close to a ramen noodle by adding a little baking soda to the cooking water. Also given the things people in Asia do to western food you shouldn't ever feel bad about doing the same the other way.
