/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>h-hey guys, I ate a ghost pepper! Does anyone think I'm cool or interesting yet???

You spiceniggers are as bad as vegans I swear to god, and you give up the game every time spice comes up in conversation too because never once will you talk about flavors, it just immediately turns into a competition of who ate the spiciest food. Imagine being so fucking pathetic that the only thing you can say is interesting about yourself is that you add mass produced walmart hot sauce to your ramen noodles. Look at this nigger here >>12246754, literally the "and then all the minorities clapped and told me I was the most based white person, not like the OTHER whites!!" post.

Here's the thing OP, I come from a long line of cooks. I'm not a wealthy man, but I've had five star food and have eaten just about every style and type of food on this planet at least once. Never once in my life did I ever sit down for a nice meal and say "man these flavors are amazing, but I wish my mouth was in pain!", in fact NOBODY does. Heavy spice was used traditionally to mask rotten/spoiled/low grade food and NOBODY is impressed that you were able to eat something spicy. It's like the kid in elementary school who bragged about going to Canada like it was some grand exotic journey.

tl;dr - fuck off no one is impressed, you're not cool or interesting and you're never going to have crowds of foreigners clapping at your ability to eat a bowl of fucking noodles

On what fucking planet are peanuts and chocolate contrasting flavors? Sweet and salty are complimentary flavors, chocolate peanutbutter is one of the most common combinations in sweets. Do you even know what the fuck "contrasting" means?

>Put in an online order at Applebee's
>Mandatory tip for an online pickup order, not even carside

I hate tipping

Waiter/waitress: Uhg, don't you GET IT? We get paid 2.50 an HOUR! It's not even enough to LIVE OFF OF!
The same waiter/waitress: omg becky I just made 300 dollars in tips tor the third night in a row xDDDD

I used to do customer service. I know customers are assholes, but I also know that most people who work in customer service/the food industry are also assholes. It's a match made in heaven and I don't feel bad for any of them.

>People actually defending top down meme recipes in this thread

This website is basically just reddit now, fuck it all

>Use a steel pan
>Can sear on stovetop, finish in oven seamlessly
>Has 1/4th the weight of a cast iron
>Can still form a fond on the bottom of the pan for saucemaking while being nonstick with the slightest addition of oil
>Can leave to soak in the sink overnight without it falling apart
>Never have to season, many come with heat-resistant glass tops to cover and braise foods in without boiling it all off through the pouring sides of a cast iron

There isn't a single reason to own cast iron, it's just a meme that white college girls are adopting because it feels 'rustic'. It's overrated.

And don't even get me started on the weight. I hit the gym and I do hard manual labor with mandatory overtime 50-60 hours a week. Obviously, a pan even filled with food isn't intensely heavy for me, but it IS heavy compared to normal cookware. I don't ever want to risk waste/injury transfering a pan from the stovetop to the oven, and when I've got a roast in there or whatever it gets me fucking worried. When my wife had to move our cast iron around I always got twice as worried because she's not able to just casually flip around 40 pounds of random shit with one hand, she HAS spilled stuff before and thankfully never burned herself.

It's retarded. Steel/copper is what normal people cook with and for good reason.
