So true. Classic examples of this are oxtails, shanks, lobster, oysters, and pork belly.

Whale. Used to be the poorest man's meat for ages. Now it's highly priced and sought after.

Also delicious, which it might not have been in earlier years due to bad temperatures of the meat before bringing it onto shore.

That's great Casu, I've been genuinely worried about your taste. To a larger extent than usual.

Yeah I'm mostly gonna use it for its umaminess, had some on toast right now. Spread thin, and it was quite salty. The lingering aftertaste is nice however.

Initially I wanted to make this a thread of its own, but it might have limited appeal and would fit better here. The question is:

What has cooking done for you?
I started getting interested in cooking real food in 2008. I'd just gotten out of a short relationship where all dinners were somewhat cooked from the ground up. Prior to that, I'd been living on instant rice, chicken and powdered bearnaise sauce. After that ordeal, I wondered what it took to make a real sauce, soup or stew from scratch. A few youtube videos later and I was hooked. I had to know what technique to chop an onion or a carrot, and after many iterations I also learnt the flavors.

4 years later I feel confident in cooking a piece of meat by touch, potatoes or some pasta. No longer am I following the cooking instructions, instead, I'm recognizing that it's done. I'm not shunning a meat ball cooked pink, and definately not a rare piece of tenderloin. I also feel that I can improvise to a larger extent, when I know how ingredients will react or complement eachother.

All of this is not just because of GWS, but it's been a great inspiration for me to get out of the food hell that was once my life, and for that I thank you GWS. Sorry, GWC!

The more common turn of phrase is probably pulling the plug, but cord gets the point across.

Pulling the plug insures that the connection inside the plug stable. I usually don't care and pull the cord on alot of cables I rig. This leads to cables that can no longer function. I feel it's a legit interpretation of the idiomatic phrase.

What's the beef with Scandinavians in general is more like it. It's quite complicated.

The thing about onions being poisonous is several hundred years old, since only poor people ate onions, as potatoes and finer veg were for the upper classes.

Also this:

That's when you say "How'd you get the turkey so crispy on the inside?"

Luckily, the legs were removed before this atrocity and actually quite nice, brussel sprouts, potatoes, carrots and gravy were nice too. I filled up on desert, however.

Burnt pepper.

Meat is done when it's 143 degrees.

This is a famous chef.

I never met the guy, he's seemingly alright, but he lacks empathy. He's the kind of kid who punches someone and never apologizes, 'cos they deserved it.

This is what I was wondering. If you didn't want the job, why did you go to the interview? In fact, why did you apply in the first place?

I wasn't told what the job was before the interview. I'm a teacher and applied for a teaching assistant position.
