/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Who all is cooking right the fuck now? What are you making? Listening to any music? Chillin with friends?

Im making some curry peas with potatos and Im gonna go heavy on the cardamom tonight because Im drinking (nothing beats cardamom when you're drunk, its like eating sitar music).

Ill bump with pictures as things progress if you guys insist on being bums.

Is it wrong to ask for things that aren't at the menu at restaurants?

Often when I'm at a restaurant and don't see anything exactly to my liking, I scan the menu to see what ingredients they probably have on hand and invent my own dish, which I then explain to the server so they can communicate it to the chef.

But last night when I was out for dinner, they didn't let me do this. So I said, but you have all of those ingredients back there, right? And she said yes, but that the kitchen was "too busy" to accommodate special requests like that. She looked at me like I was asking for the great wall of china. What the fuck? If they have everything they need to make my dish, I don't see what's so hard about doing it. Ended up just getting a bowl of chicken noodle soup and was a little angry the rest of the night.

What kind of customer service is that? It's the cook's job to cook what I ask for, right? Isn't that the whole point of going out to eat?

I saw they had lobster on the menu which I was craving, but didn't want to spend that much money on a whole lobster, so I asked for a lobster roll. And they refused. Wrote them a 1 star yelp review

Retard with groceries here.
The only reason I don't go to the grocery store is because I feel retarded about what I should buy.

Is there a babby's generic grocery list?

My friend just recently started living on his own and doesn't know how to prepare warm meals, not even a fucking omelet. Are there some websites or youtube channels I can give her to learn to cook?
