/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>all natural
The worst offenders though are the ones that are obvious. All cheese should be "gluten free," all oatmeal should be "high in fiber," all beef jerky should be "high in protein," etc.

One time when I was wagecucking someone asked for ghee but we were all out. I told them how to make it from butter but they freaked out and just kept demanding the stuff from a jar

>>12641687
Ghee is very cheap if you don't get it from trendy stores. You are correct about the quality not being as good, though.

>>12641687
Ayuverdian.

>>12641687
it's just butter
fuck sakes humans should be removed

If you insist on calling ghee "clarified butter" you're probably racist. Ghee is a much better word, very worthy of adopting as a loan word, being monosyllabic and not clashing with any pre-existing English words. "Clarified butter" is just a clumsy description.

>>12642203

i rather use Smen and pronounce it semen because you're a faggot

>>12641687
"Farm-to-plate"
These idiots always have some stupid buzzword or term as an excuse to charge suckers out of the nose.

>>12642203
Ghee is close to gay, so it's a gayer word

>>12642255
That's paki/indian crap and we all know about their food quality and standards.

>>12642203
This. There's nothing wrong with calling it Ghee. I prefer it, for the same reasons this anon posted. Short, to the point, and easily identifiable. In our kitchen, we call it ghee for cooking, and "clarified butter" is what we call the stuff we use on plates or to finish something, because we have different kinds of clarified butter. Ghee is specific to cooking.

>>12642195
There's different kinds of butter, spergie.

>>12641695
Especially since "natural" literally doesn't mean anything in America, legally. You can put it on a container of normal Doritos and claim it's natural.

>>12642243
"smen" is like like London newspeak from 1984 so as to not mean anything except for what their government wants it to mean while dumbing down the population so they can't formluate any thoughts?

>>12642195
it's butter with the milk solids removed. tastes different and has a higher smoke point

>>12642467
OBSESSED FUCKING FAGGOT OVER HERE, FOLKS.

scientifically based diet

>>12642487
It's "folk"
Folk is already plural so "folks" makes no sense. I know mr English major will chime in to say it's vernacular but "folk" is right.

>>12642497
Fuck off, Walt Disney. Your cartoons are and always will be shit.

>>12642504
Disney is for fags that can't think for themselves, I always preferred Bugs Bunny and Road Runner.

>>12642487
>I'm obsessed for pointing something out
Why you have to be mad?

>>12642203
>If you insist on calling ghee "clarified butter" you're probably racist.

Who the fuck came up with the name ghee?
Honestly it sounds like menstrual fluids of a hippo or something.

>>12642996
I think it’s Indian

>>12642497
Mr. English major would also point out that folk is indeed singular, functioning as a collective noun.

>>12642731
Jesus christ, that image.

>>12643054
Based. I was even gonna point out "people" as a similar example of a singular collective noun.
Anon was a faget.

>>12642517
So much THIS.

>>12641695
This shit. I see "gluten free" on stuff that has no business having wheat in it in the first place. Juice drinks, yogurt, ice cream, tea/coffee. Like for god's sake if these stupid soccer mom cunts actually had gluten intolerance they'd have been told by their doctor what the blazing fuck gluten even is.
>>12642255
can't argue with this logic.

>Artisanal

Fuck this word

>>12641687
I can clearly see nobody bought it cuz it's fully stocked. Stfu OP

>>12641687
This isn't your blog faggot

>>12643614
In truth though food manufacturers add a shitton of flour as filler in shit it just doesn't normally belong in whenever they can.

>>12641715
under rated post.

Organic is a label not a buzzword you idiot. You fail limits for certain pesticides and you don't get to label it organic.

>>12643756
>flour in yogurt
>flour in fruit juice
yeah no you cretin.

>>12643786
It's far more involved than that. There's a complex and expensive certification process that has to be approved by the USDA.
>inb4 b-but they use broad spectrum pyrethrin pesticides
Small and medium sized organic farmers don't because most got into it due to their commitment to sustainable agriculture and protecting the environment. But it's true, the megacorporations strong armed the USDA into permitting their use under the organic umbrella so they could keep their hand in the organic pie with their unsustainable scorched earth practices.

Have you tried the ghee, op?

>>12643941
just bought tea from some mom and pop chinese farming company. their shit is organic but they don't have the fda certification organic label because it costs a ton of money, espeically for some poorfaggot chink farmers on a mountain in central china.

american here, literally just found out that garlic bread is just butter+ garlic spread on bread and heated.. all these years i've been eating some frozen/prepackaged version with 6 million ingredients and 99% of those ingredients being trans fats

>>12644017
Get some garlic powder and start adding it to your food.

>>12644020
i have some spanish in me so my mom uses adobo to season anything and everything

>>12644017
You can add cheese as well if you're feeling feisty.

>>12641687
>because pre-made ghee is always quadruple or more times the price and the product shittier than what you could have if you made it yourself (properly).

Now realize that applies to the overwhelming majority of things you might buy at the supermarket.

>>12643985
Understandable. Hell there's a lot of small organic family farmers in the US who don't get the certification either because of the expense but they're growing using sustainable organic methods.

>>12643985
The seal is from USDA not FDA, retard.

And other countries have their own organic seals/certifications.

>>12642487
you shot one of your own, mr shaky hair trigger.

>>12641687
Lol I use this exact brand. I'm not even American and I earn enough AMERICAN DOLLARS that this shit is not even that expensive for me lol I feel bad for poor wagies americucks

>>12641729
That's just a way to say something is vegan without triggering people.

>>12642185
Does that just mean Indian?

>>12641687
Even in Indian stores the ghee is always expensive compared to what I can buy plain butter for. I kind of like making it myself anyway, because the milk solids are pretty tasty and can be used for other things.

>>12643627
Very much so, I've seen bottles of "artisanal water" and my immediate response was "fuck humanity bring on the nukes"

>>12641687
First attempt just now, I poured it through a bit of cheesecloth over a strainer and still couldn’t completely get rid of all the white bits. :/ This also took me way longer than 15 minutes like some people claim, more like 30 over low heat. Am I a retard? Where did I go wrong?

>>12641741
well no that has a solid definition when it comes to food unlike 'organic'

it's just abused horribly and is typically not true with most products.

>>12644134
nigga the fuck i care

>>12642203
thank you for gheeing the issue for us

>>12642203
>>12642268
shut the fuck up you pretentious, cum guzzling niggers.

>>12645775
All of the prior words have legitimate uses too. That's not what OP said.

>>12645739
How autistic are you? Do you also do this when you make stock?

>>12641687
>>12645739
Isn't all ghee fermented? When I clarify butter, I just bring it up to sizzling heat for about a minute, then let it settle on the sauce burner on low until I get around to pouring it off. I rarely have any milk solid floaters by the time I get to pouring it. If you have electric burners, it might be easier to skirt into browned butter territory before letting it settle to get the floaters to sink. I rarely need a cheesecloth and just the last 1/4 cup or so of the pour in biscuits or something like that. You can get it down to a few tablespoons if it is nicely settled and you pour very carefully, but what's the point when you can use a few ounces as is?

>>12646829
>he doesn't ever make salad dressings or Mayonnaise from scratch with clarified butter
>he doesn't ever cook beef with clarified butter
What's it like to deny yourself because you are afraid of becoming autistic?

>>12641687
$19.90 for that tiny jar? What a ripoff. At least go to the Indian grocery and get a large tin for half the price. Making your own costs the same and takes time and effort.

>>12645739
>>12646849
ghee is simple to make. melt the butter and set the burner to the lowest possible setting. let it cook gently until the liquid reduces by at least a quarter and becomes aromatic. do not stir.

>>12646856

>>12646863
OK, so it's browned butter. Only certain styles are cultured or fermented, then?

>>12646865
no u

>>12646867
ghee isn't fermented

>>12642467
That could actually be a great PR campaign.
Doritos could have some limited edition stuff where they stamp some unregulated, totally irrelevant buzzwords on their chips. Buyer awareness products or something.

>New pasture-raised Doritos!
>Doritos! Made with real fruit!
>Sugar free!

>>12646873
I am certain there are some styles that are. ...A quick google confirmed it, both traditional and readily available on the market.

>>12641687
you compared the price of clarified butter to regular butter. a 16 oz jar of clarified butter is usually around $10. The grass fed organic stuff at my local walmart sells for maybe a couple dollars more.

>>12647044
>walmart
HAHAHAHA POORFAG

poor americans getting triggered so easily

>>12642497
Saying folks is like saying peoples, but it's more casual. It was popular used by literally porky the pig, and it is an acceptable way to speak you fucking pedant. You absolute you fucking retard.

>>12642185
This one fills me with rage

>>12641687
Do you know how much butter is needed to make a pound of clarified butter? Also the quality of the butter changes the price to produce yourself a lot. Also time spent cooking it yourself has value so therefore you have to account for the cost of labor.

>>12641687

Soy

>>12641687
Happy chickens?

>>12642203
Those korean pop harlots have been trying to market their devil butter to us all along.

>>12641687
grass fed dairy is worthwhile, but I can get good ghee for a lot less than that
>Berkeley, CA

>>12641695
The only major crop that actually produces gluten is wheat
And the people who have a gluten allergy knew to stay away from bread and similar foods

>>12642203
I thought ghee was cooked for a long period.

>bio
I hate this shit with a passion, the legality of the term is extremely vague and the goods cost double. I guess it is the euro version of "organic".
In other news, I got a tub of lube that also claims to be BIO AND VEGAN, MADE IN GERMANY. Oddly enough it is thus far the best lube Ive used, but the memetics are just ridiculous.
