How old is this? I thought Bongs switched to the Euro years ago.

>>14620405
I would like to beat the shit out of whoever invented it, and also who manufactures and who carries it in their stores.

>>14620448
If you somehow value your time at less than the cost of a can of tomatoes for a half-hour of effort, sure. If you have better things to do, no.

>>14620446
>breaking the noodles

I seriously hope you don't actually do this

>>14620405

Who told the Dutch they could make pasta?

>>14620467
If you're a young Japanese girl cooking on a mountain with a tiny camping pot, it's acceptable.

>>14620423
The FUCK you say?

>>14620476
>Put the pasta in
>Wait 10 seconds
>Stir

It's not hard

>>14620483
why because you can make it yourself combining water and sugar?

>>14620448
absolutely wrong, they can tomatoes at their ripest so it's perfect to make your own sauce

>>14620405
Fat free half n half. If it's half cream, half milk... and cream is just fatty milk... then explain to me how it's not just a fucking skim milk ruse.

Why do consoomers fall for this shit

>>14620555
Positive. Higher altitude means lower atmospheric pressure and lower boiling point. Vapor pressure and whatnot, bro.

>>14620590
This I don't get. These machines suck hot ass.>>14620591

>>14620572
Do you even cook?
That is NOT how you peel tomatoes.
>Hint: involves a pot of boiling water and a big fork.

>>14620642
not him but I pour boiling water and ice em and the skins slip right off. is there another way to do it?

>>14620642
You can do the hot water trick, but for 2 or 3 tomatoes, it's much quicker to peel them with a vegetable peeler.

>>14620479
>>14620582
If you didn't grow up eating this shit, this is literal garbage tier. Your mom didn't love you enough to buy two separate jars of peanut butter and jelly

Also
>Frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

>>14620648
Same essential process, blanching/skinning
The fork is just for holding.

Literally who tier

>>14620660
You can also peel them by putting them under the broiler, so they blister. Particularly useful for many tomatoes. We used to do it that way in a restaurant I worked at, big sheets of tomatoes in the oven....but, for a couple, it's quicker and easier with a peeler.

>>14620671
If that costs more than 1$ I will know the human species is doomed

>>14620672
yeah, I've done it that way too, as well as on a fork directly over a burner,(Does impart a nice flame roasted taste I'll admit,) but I've never heard of anyone using a peeler before...Will concede to it's viability though, sorry If I was reactive...Some people post the weirdest dis-info here though. I'll give it a shot sometime, maybe; It just sounds like a mess to me.

>>14620555

Do americans really put sugar in their pasta?

>>14620590
I like my nespresso because I only drink maybe one or two coffees a week which isn't enough for beans to stay fresh, even with a 10oz bag
flavored keurig pods are trash tho

>>14620798
I've seen them putting sugar on potato salad, on fried cabbage, pretty much most things. They tend to be African-Americans, though, not sure if it matters.

>>14620960
Agreed 100% because this shit is obviously not real Parmesan. If you’re lucky, you get the stuff that didn’t make the cut to be sold as the real deal and gets processed for cooking Parmesan-flavoured stuff like jarred Alfredo sauces and this shaker of sawdust.

>>14620969
Fucking kek

>>14620940
>What did it do before?
Didn't.
That's some Dolla Tre ghetto shit anyway...Even at my poorest, I never have eaten that shit.
**Also, If you are strapped for cash and tempted to get the half block of "silver state" peppered cheese at a Dolla Tre, DON'T! I'm fairly certain it's made from some "other animal milk"

>>14620940
nowhere on the bag says its cheese

>>14621029
What's sort of scary is the main Ice cream producers have caught on to some of these tricks and additive bullshit. Even Breyers has been infected with the push for shrinking sizes, Air whipping, Cellulose gum/gel additives and other fun stuff that some varieties have that make it so they no longer melt.
Breyer's used to pride itself on having only 5 ingredients, 6 for strawberry.
FUCK UNILEVER!!
How low we've sunk.

>>14620590
I really like keurig pods. It reminds me of when I was in high school over summer and my mom would wake up late and make me hot french vanilla coffee or chocolate raspberry coffee or the donut shop coffee loaded with half and half and sugar. This was before I left for college and my dad lost his job and my 45 year old stay-at-home mom had to get a job delivering mail.

I have a moka pot and I got good beans from costco and I can't make a good pot of coffee to save my life.

>>14621156
nice blogpost didn't ask for your life story though faggot

you could have achieved the same memory if your mom wasn't a useless hack and actually knew how to make coffee

>>14621156

>>14620457
Even at minimum wage, half an hour of my time is worth over $4. A can of tomatoes costs 65 cents.
>>14620459 This is fine actually. 9 times out of 10, these are being eaten by a toddler or at a desk because you forgot your lunch.

>>14620940
Because this isnt going on a dish, its going to be eaten directly form the back as a snack because actual good cheese is expensive.

>>14621986
Your time isn't nearly as valuable as you delude yourself into thinking.

I get that maybe canned mushrooms were used in the depression and before fresh produce was readily available, but literally who is buying this

>>14621217
lmao poorfag negro

>>14621217
Shut your mouth before we enslave you again, dumb coon.

>>14624061
maybe for storage reasons or something

Pibb is god teir fuck you

>>14620448
explain

>>14626586
A mediocre fresh and ripe tomato is better than a good canned tomato.

Any quality the fruit had when picked, was destroyed during the canning process.

Maybe I'm biased against canned tomatoes and they taste bad to me because I grew up eating tomato sauce made from fresh ones. I don't know...what I can tell you is that I don't use them.

>>14626612
This is flat out wrong. I grew up in a tomato farming town. We weren't farmers, but we did grow our own because the soil here is great for it. We'd have like dozens of litter Ball jars of tomatoes throughout the year. They were always better than a mediocre fresh grocery store hothouse tomato.

>>14626651
If you grow your own, of course they'll be better, even after jarred, but tomatoes that are canned are mass-produced.

>>14626673
They are still usually actually outdoor grown though, and harvested when ripe instead of pulled when green and then gassed at distribution centers on their way to stores.

>>14620521
>Smaller Cap = Less Plastic

Bitch the whole container is plastic who gives a fuck if the cap is smaller.

>>14626701
There's probably as much or more plastic in a typical cap vs the entire body of that bottle though.

>>14620817
That's different because there's no other way to get espresso for less than 2 grand.

>>14626727
Boxed water is the only way.

>>14620590
I'm not gonna bring my french press to work.

hows your Jewcock-sucking president, fellas

>>14626757
Just get an Aeropress. I kinda hate them, but they are great for doing good coffee at work. I work heathcare, and I've used just about every pod system out there and they all fucking suck, I'd rather just have old school percolator coffee and not destroy the environment for worse shit.

>>14624096
I assume only sliced cheese would properly melt in that mixture without a roux due to the sodium citrate

>>14620940
before? It combusted

>>14620520
Just fold the noodles brainlet

>>14620642
Only fags peel tomatoes

>>14621039
This shit has always perplexed me when i see it. Who buys that shit?

>>14620405

>>14620405
a pony.

>>14620448
But bait keeps perfectly fine in cans!

>>14620960
this shit is good on pizza and stuff to absorb the grease, regular parmesan doesn't absorb like the kraft shit does

>>14620423
while everyone is saying fuck you, i am saying bless you for bringing such sweet memories. this stuff was my childhood. I remember mum making me sandwiches of this stuff in toast and i would eat it in school.

>>14621986
>we do the shopping you do the cooking
i would unironically pay for this.

>>14628084
Shopping is one of the best parts. I can look at shit and go "oh, I'm going to cook the fuck out of you _ingredient_".

>>14620448
Fresh tomatoes are more expensive than meat here when out of season. Canned is an important staple.

>>14620448
i agree with this tho. just buy real tomatoes

>>14628094
canned shit tastes like shit though

just stop being poorfag and buy real tomatoes, they aren't that expensive

>>14622742
not the best caffine free coke can

>>14628104
why drink coke without caffeine though? its the like the only reason to drink that sugary shit,

>>14620557
If you think it is that big, you are retarded.

>>14628109
none, the can just looks cool

>>14628109
There are people that refuse to drink water in the US. They need nighttime cola. I'm not even joking.

>>14628115
>>14628116
the new cans have shit "minimalist" flat design though like everything else nowadays

these were the most aesthetic coke cans

In olden times they didn't even drink water because water was polluted. Instead they drank litres of weak beer.

>>14628101
At 18 dollars a kilo, yes they are expensive. I will buy the 50 cent canned tomatoes.

>>14628142
where do you live?

they grow tomatoes where i live and they are incredibly cheap (socal)

>>14628144
Southern New Zealand.

>>14628148
I can't even roast you for that, NZ is max comfyness

would love to visit some day. don't you guys have a Mediterranean climate like us? (aka good for growing tomatoes)

>>14628149
Only in the northern tip. It Its much colder in the south, basically next door to the South Pole. I only managed to grow tomatoes in a greenhouse. Great area for bluff oysters, hunting tahr in the hills, and researchers who want to study the Antarctic.

Imagine paying for twigs in a plastic box if you're not living in a some inner city hellscape. Grow your own.

>>14620448
The tomatoes grown for cans are selected for high flavour while the vine tomatoes are selected for shelf life aka cardboard shit. Growing heirloom is the best but it's seasonal.

>>14628188
I could've bought a used car with just the amount I used to spend on those stupid leaf boxes before I just started growing herbs myself

>>14626699
>>14626673
The fresh store tomatoes are usually some hybrid variety which isn't actually a tomato in the purest sense. The best tasting fruits do not transport or keep well which is why you don't find heirloom tomatoes in the supermarket or good mangos in cool climates.

>shit you didn't know existed

>>14628274
I especially hate seeing rosemary in a box. It's everywhere, I could walk a few houses down any suburban street and find a bush. It's also very easy to grow. I stuck a bunch of rosemary twigs in some potting mix and a few months later I now have 20 rosemary plants which cost nothing.

Thyme will also grow wild if you just shake the seeds over some sandy soil.

>>14628148
Well yeah it's winter down here so of course they're expensive. I hope you're going to order some rare seeds off Kings and grow your own food this summer.

>>14628149
It's more temperate down south. In the north there are some avocado orchards though so it must be warmer there.
My minimum temperature is -6C. Stone fruit and berries do well here. We also love the feijoa (pineapple guava), just about everyone has a tree.

>>14624061
I buy canned mushrooms by the case dude. They go in my spaghetti sauce. Fresh are great but they don't last for shit.

>>14626753
There's a plastic lining on the inside, water skins are the only way

>>14622742
Hold the phone, you're telling me there are, not 1, but (2) apple flavored Fantas?

>>14629276
why would you think that? only non-whites are lactose intolerant.

>>14629276
not everyone but many of them

>>14629276
They can handle very small amounts, e.g. two slices of cheese.
