/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Haha. I haven't posted anything in this thread all day. You're screeching at some random anon. I kind of wish I called out sick today just to witness your meltdown in real time. The most ironic part of it is that, despite the 400+ medium-rare burgers I've posted on /ck/ over the years - and the hundreds more I've consumed without fanfare - I have never in my entire life gotten food poisoning. And why are you even taking /ck/ so seriously in the first place? I've working in kitchens for years. You probably get all your information from clickbait youtube channels. Is it really that surprising that people find the shit I throw together when I'm just drunkenly fucking around far more impressive than your little weekend projects?

It’s definitely a psychological thing, rather than being based in any kind of rational insight or even just being a basic matter of preference (obviously people have preferences, and there are going to be people out there who like every kind of burger; I wouldn’t be surprised if GG Allin liked his steak burnt to a crisp, but he was also into scat and had a micro-penis). The picky eater analogy is good, but I think it’s closer to vegans. Most vegans just hate the idea of eating meat and find it disgusting. Ultimately this comes down to a gut reaction they don’t fully understand, but they will spout off half a dozen different arguments for why veganism is better that are entirely ancillary, and have nothing to do with the initial motivating factor that caused them to make such a drastic life decision. And these hold virtually no weight if you haven’t experienced whatever visceral experience they apparently had at some point in their life, outside of maybe making more informed choices about where you buy your meat, just like any informed consumer would have no issue ordering a medium-rare burger from a restaurant but would never make tartare with clearance Walmart meat.

And this is a perfect example of the psychological aspect. I’ve heard tomatoes described in almost the exact same terms since I was in pre-school, and it never registered. Some people have simply convinced themselves that [thing]=bad and will concoct all sorts of wild fantasies and machinations in order to feed their phobia, as it’s become so tied up with their identity that demonizing [thing] has become entwined with their sense of self-worth. We see this in many other places that have nothing to do with food, often with violent repercussions.

What’s the problem if you don’t “freshly mince” it?

Most fat people don’t really enjoy food, though. They enjoy the act of eating, but don’t necessarily seek out new experiences, or even savor the flavor; they basically just shovel it down, like dogs.

I don't know what you're talking about. This burger is cooked perfectly.
