a while back I learned that nobility in Europe colonized half the damned earth to get access to the spice trade and it was a very high-society thing, but when the proles got easy access to spices the nobility turned their noses to spices and focused on high quality ingredients that we're still edible without seasoning it. I wonder a lot if there's a cultural thread between that and white people not liking spicy foods

yeah I eat rear end posted:I am in a family of picky eaters and i'm pretty sure it's just a thing where they'll like it if you don't tell them what is in it. Obviously this doesn't apply to things that can potentially cause allergic reactions, but like if you sneak some paprika or hotsauce or god forbid pepper into something and don't tell the picky eater it's in there, i would bet a lot of money that at least 9 times out of 10 they'd like the better-seasoned version more than their standard "microwaved from frozen no seasoning except the salt they add after it's cooked" version.

Speaking honestly, Bourdain is one of my two heroes in life. He's gloriously unpretentious, there's no point where he'll turn up his nose at something being 'too white', 'too cheap', 'too weird' or whatnot. Cinnamon in your chili? He'll love it. Fast food? Hell yeah. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4J1seTHAMU Giant piles of meat? The best place in the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaYY3oGfkyg He's one of those guys who really opened my eyes up to the world and got me to think outside the poo poo that was programmed into me as a kid, and I'm just really sad he's gone now.

Hated a variety of benign foods (one of them didn't like cheese, one didn't like onion) and would happily enjoy foods with those ingredients as long as it wasn't immediately obvious. If they were later told that the food had the ingredients, they'd decide that they hadn't actually liked it at all. Yeah, then the "I knew I tasted something a little bit off but I just was trying to be nice" or whatever comes pouring out. It never leads to a "maybe i'm wrong" moment.

E: I found out about Bourdain's suicide at work, and almost cried. He had the best job in the world, and it still didn't stop depression from killing him. It's very personal to me because I've wrestled that tiger. It's deadly and hungry, and sometimes it doesn't stop. It really hurts when people you admire get eaten by it. It just hurts.

You see people like this alot in the restaurant industry. "I'm allergic to onions unless they are cooked, garlic and chives are ok though." Just tell me you don't want raw onions and stop cheapening actual allergies.

Cooking sometimes does eliminate an allergen. Tomatoes are apparently infamous for this. Myself, I'm allergic to snap peas but only if they're raw. Which is tragic, because I used to eat raw snap peas like candy. Sigh.

Isn't that a pollen allergy of some sort? I know that with some allergies, certain raw veggies/fruits are pollinated by critters that pollinate birch. They carry birch pollen around to the other plants, but cooking it destroys the proteins causing the allergy.

Hempuli posted:(Why is the powdered sugar flying upwards in the pic?) Probably something to do with the direction the shutter closes - if it swipes upwards to close then the bottom of a quickly moving object might be fainter or less exposed. Just a guess though

They carry birch pollen around to the other plants, but cooking it destroys the proteins causing the allergy. I suddenly developed a birch pollen allergy in my late 20s and it boils down to getting an itchy mouth and throat and hives on my lips from certain raw fruits and vegetables and tree nuts sometimes and it changes as the seasons do, kind of. I can only eat raw strawberries and almonds in autumn and winter, for example. Most tropical fruits are fine all the time for whatever reason. If you put apples or pears or carrots anywhere near heat the allergens disappear. I can’t eat raw celery except if it’s in a mayo-based salad and then it’s fine. WTF. Sometimes I can eat a banana raw but sometimes only if it doesn’t touch my lips and there’s no way to say when I’ll have a reaction. It’s the damndest thing. I miss biting into stone fruits so I’m learning to bake peach and plum-based goodies even though it’s not the same and I don’t have a sweet tooth.

Marriott property (Courtyard) in one of the top ten largest US Cities. There was also a modern ish flatscreen somewhere else in the room, but at the table was the no joke functional TV VCR CRT. The food at the hotel was about as modern as that TV.

I haven't been home in a while but I guarantee my mom still has the same CRT that's from before the days when they could come with an integrated VCR.

It was about 4:30am here when I saw the news about Bourdain. Just clicked on Facebook, and there in the middle of my feed: BREAKING NEWS. I've never felt particularly strongly about celebrity deaths, but this one got an audible gasp and "oh no.." out of me. Made it a little bit harder to sleep last night too.  On a lighter note, one of my husband's favorite dishes is his mother's chicken paprikash with homemade noodles. He talks about it quite fondly, and so do his sisters. He also mentions that it wasn't until he and his sisters were adults did they realize the recipe is supposed to have paprika in it.  Basically, it's one of those recipes that got altered to use cheaper/fewer ingredients during a time of financial hardship, and never changed back. Had a similar issue trying to make his favorite Christmas cookies, where I found out later that the recipe says cream cheese, but his mother uses sour cream. On the upside, it was a fun learning experience, I guess?

I read about it at 5am (about 13hrs ago), didn't make me sad at all to be honest. It's only when shooting blanks said in another thread 'just get help' I turned into wreck while trying to find the words of a more elegant 'get hosed' that reduced me to a low tonight. If I come off as a rambling arsehole on these forums most of the time it's because I've disengaged my brain for the past 5 years or more. Don't make me think, I don't want to think about life or explaining myself.Scathach posted:Isn't that a pollen allergy of some sort? I know that with some allergies, certain raw veggies/fruits are pollinated by critters that pollinate birch. They carry birch pollen around to the other plants, but cooking it destroys the proteins causing the allergy. I know fodmaps diet says no to bulbs, not pollen. So things like garlic, onion are out. Scallion whites are out but the greens are OK, chives are OK too - just no bulbs/root. Maybe SA or someone misheard and they said garlic chives (something I grow - chives with a bit of garlic flavour) Fo3 has a new favorite as of 13:38 on Jun 9, 2018 |
