/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Good pizza really doesn't need toppings, just like good bread doesn't need butter or anything to taste great. I only put toppings on sub-par pizza to cover up how sub-par it is

bottom line, it's a gimmick. This means in certain situations, it can add to the dining experience and the overall taste of the food. But if the fundimentals of good cooking aren't present, it will never add anything. In situations, it can add just a touch more to an already otherwise good dish, but it can't make a shit sandwitch taste any better, if that makes sense

i dont understand cold pizza, we all like it best out of the oven and fresh, so why, other than for the sake of laziness, would people eat it cold, when they go to restaurants and pay to eat it warm?

fuck it, dude, see if it can work in a stir fry dish
that's all I got, I'm not really big on fish

skip breakfast you fat fuck
wa la, problem solved

for me personally, the fact that sushi doesn't have a strong taste to it (with the exception of fattier cuts of meat like eel, salmon and fatty tuna) is a main reason why I eat it. I hate the taste of cooked fish, and sushi gives me the opportunity to reap the health benefits of occasionally consuming fish, without having to deal with a taste that I dislike. Besides, while many types don't have a strong taste to them, it's not like they have no flavour whatsoever. You should try enjoying more subtle foods sometime, anon.

dishes are allowed to evolve and improve as cultures clash, and subsequently mingle. Yes, there can be instances of cultures/ideas combining and creating culinary abominations (the gelatin craze in the 60s-70s, hawaiian pizza), but in general, the public's tastes will make sure that bad combinations die, and good amalgamations survive. Beans in chili is not "authentic" in the strictest sense, but by that logic, spaghetti and meatballs is an unauthentic Italian sham. Beans in chili is a logical evolutionary step for the dish, as it helps bulk up an otherwise quite sparse dish

i think /ck/ is kind of unique in that shitposting threads are outright encouraged.
