If you really want to get on the next level they make these things for drinking in the bath, you can let some bathwater into it to keep the bottle warm:

I think its more that serving sake warm/hot masks some of the worst qualities of cheap sake and that's generally what you're going to get in the US if you order warm sake.

If you’re buying nicer sake I think it’s way better cold. Heating sake is like super chilling white wine- it’ll make something that’s ehhh better to drink

...everyone is trolling about hot sake being better. Cold sake tastes of the heavens. Delicious, properly chilled sake is a cloud made of flavor. Hot sake tastes exactly like drinking bathwater. Why would you like that? How is that making it better?

Oh no...is this yet another thing I have wrong about drinking booze? Cause I think Jameson is delicious and I frequently get yelled at for that too.

Hot sake is mostly a thing in Japan because the buildings are all poorly insulated and drafty af, at least that's my guess. They do the same with shochu, cutting it with hot water when it's cold out.

I also tend to prefer cold or room temperature.

That’s backwards from all other liquors and food. Normally you can’t taste things if they’re cold, but warm you can.

Well it sounds like we all agree that hot sake isn't that great. Drink it if you want but it's a waste of the good stuff. I suspect that cheapo sushi places serve it hot because American rubes think that's the True Nippon Way and it lets them get away with serving cheap poo poo.

"can't taste" is a bit of a stretch but it's very much a known phenomenon that cold temperatures inhibit flavour release

Well, sure, but no one was saying that you have to drink sake ice cold either. Saying that "all other liquors (sake isn't liquor fwiw) and food" work like that is a weird assertion to make.

I like hot sake but it routinely gets to -40C here in the winter so anything warm is welcome. Cold sake is fine in the warm times, I'll even get the pretty pink bottle with sakura on it.

It turns out, if I may be so bold, great. Pasta has great bite, perfectly seasoned, sauce has a great consistency.

I do not have a drop of Italian blood. But, out of respect, I told her that all opinions are valid, HOWEVER, she is bad at eating pasta; I am not bad at making it. Also if she wants pasta with cream sauce she should ask for pasta with cream sauce.

We've been married for drat near 6 years now. She's generally very complimentary about my food but she's Korean and has bad opinions about Italian and Italian adjacent food. I think next time she makes Korean food I'm a complain about her not adding, like, siracha or something. :colbert:

I think that describes Italian restaurants everywhere, including (maybe even especially) Italy. The amount of tourist trap garbage in the big Italian tourism cities is staggering.

not even necessarily tourist traps. just because it’s italy doesn’t mean the restaurants are automatically always good. i’ve definitely had bad pasta and coffee in rome, in very much not tourist trap restaurants. the pizza was not bad but not amazing at most places too.

the good stuff can be very good though.

The Sandwich Scandal at the Heart of the World’s Greatest Golfing Event

:lol: I love people being super petty over recipes

quote:


The greatest event in sports history is missing a vital recipe: that of its original pimento cheese sandwich.


The problem began more than 20 years ago, when the Masters chose not to renew the contract for the tournament’s longtime pimento cheese vendor, Nick Rangos. Afterward, the caterer refused to share his private recipe, taking its secret to his grave in 2015. Although Ted Godfrey, Rangos’s replacement, worked tirelessly to approximate the original masterpiece, he also withheld his recipe after the Masters replaced him with in-house catering in 2013.

According to Godfrey, his quest to recreate Rangos’s original took months. “I can’t tell you how many 35-dollar cases of cheese we’d been through,” he told ESPN. After countless attempts failed to satisfy the concessions committee, a tournament worker stepped forward with a frozen batch of Rangos’s original pimento spread.

Then in 2013, the Masters changed course a third time, taking all concessions in-house—again, for reasons we cannot confirm. And again, the embittered pimento czar withheld the recipe from the Masters.

Pull out, track right, stop. Center in, pull back. Stop. Track 45 right. Stop. Center and stop. Enhance 34 to 36
