Goodpancakes posted:1. American produce loving blows. Italian olive oil is run completely by the mafia, and the majority of it sold and exported is bootleg vegetable oil with food coloring, with little to no olive oil in it. This is being sold by major brands in the US as actual olive oil when it usually isn't.

Well I'm almost out the door, putting a coat on in case I get chilly. Still some time if anyone does want to come to Fazolis with me. Otherwise I'll just feast on unlimited breadsticks by myself, you know, whatever. *slowly opens door*

I like Italian foods but charging 20 for meatless noodles is a loving con Also lol at being an Italian chef. There's a reason that even deranged Italian women can cook that kind of food.

protip there's very little that's actually 'difficult' to cook. it's just 50% paying attention to detail and patience and 50% the freshest best ingredients you can find. even something like a flambe looks way more impressive than it really is if 'difficulty to cook' is your metric as opposed to tastiness when in your mouth or appearance on a plate then lol

grapes wine bread and cheese is an excellent mealthathonkey posted:moridin arent you a line cook nah not anymore. is that supposed to be bad though? I've spent thousands of hours in professional kitchens in a highly competitive area. Yeah I'm no head chef but I can run you a pass just as well as most of the sous I've worked with and I def hold my own on a busy dinner shift.

And yet every cook is extremely proud of the work they do, unless they're Italian, in which case proud is not a strong enough word as they feel they regularly do the labors of Hercules in boiling noodles and cooking onions, peppers and tomatoes in a pan.

Esp if it's a recipe they came up with themselves which tastes good bc of their developed sense of flavor profiles. I really dunno what you're on about with Italian cooks acting like they're superman or something I suggest maybe having some lasagna and relaxing

Some day I will meet a cook that says "I've worked in restaurants for years but I feel there's a lot of food I can't do justice to and a lot of people who do what I do better than I do it" instead "I'M A BADASS BITCH ON THE LINE, THE WHISTLE GOES WOOO WOOOOOOO"

So is there very little to it or is there actually something to be proud of, because right now what you're telling me is that it's normal to be proud over very little.

I said no cuisine is particularly difficult in terms of complexity to produce which is the weirdo metric you are using to determine if something is 'good' or not (why not taste or appearance?). Obv it still requires skill to do things but patience and attention to detail will get you most of the way there. that's nothing to do with the other things I mentioned like picking out good ingredients at the market and prepping them well with good knife skills and coming up with a tasty dish that people enjoy you act like people created food just to one up each other with how hard it is to cook. They didn't. They made it to eat and enjoy. We're not talking about model trains. it's normal to end a shift proud of the fact that you actually did something that night (fed a bunch of people) vs jerking off at the office for 8 hours Sheep-Goats posted:Some day I will meet a cook that says "I've worked in restaurants for years but I feel there's a lot of food I can't do justice to and a lot of people who do what I do better than I do it" instead "I'M A BADASS BITCH ON THE LINE, THE WHISTLE GOES WOOO WOOOOOOO" Suddenly me thinking I'm a better cook than the average goon saying Italian food is too simple to be valid is the latter? Ofc the former applies to me no poo poo. VendaGoat posted:Yah, try making loving risotto, you GabbaGoons. Moridin920 fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Aug 23, 2016 |
