going to a restaurant and paying them not to cook your food thoroughly

>>15038175
eating out

Cooking at home in general
Seriously prepared stuff is better tasting, better for you, and more efficient

Tapas

>go out to eat with 5 friends to a tapas restaurant
>need to order 2-3 plates of the same dish

Shits fucked desu

>>15038235
>>15038229
but who is telling the truth?

>>15038235
>Doesn't take his cooking at home seriously
Sorry that you don't own a gas stove and a wok, but some people enjoy food.

>>15038175
Plant "milk"
Dark chocolate with above 70% concentration
Ben & Jerries icecream

This thing. It used to be shilled hard on /ck/ some years ago.

>>15038312
But wagyu beef is cheap in Japan, and tapas is cheap in Spain
I bought a wagyu steak from the supermarket for $7 on Monday

It is necessary to have shitposted in the Australian manner and bathed in the Murray to relish this paste.

>>15038342
no but is no diferent

>>15038175
I'm assuming that's wagyu or Kobe or whatever expensive cut they chose to greatly overcharge some people for a sandwich. But that meat should be cooked closer to medium to melt down the fat striations throughout, although that's dependant on the cut itself i suppose.

Stadium food

any buffet

>>15038219
if you're not Australian your most likely experience with Vegemite is schools teaching as a lesson in conning morons into buying waste products.

>>15038487
thats what living in B.C canada is like except it's every store and restaurant/food stand

>>15038237
Tapas are a huge fucking scam

jesus christ how do people do this often plus the tickets?

>>15038487
it's the same way at stuff like concerts though I suppose those can occur in stadiums. I used to go to warped tour before they were required to make free water available and it was like $6 a bottle.

>>15038770
oh yeah and this was like 18 years ago $6

I work at skip. I can guarantee you that you got banned for a reason. We've never banned people for no reason.

You most likely bitched about every single order that you've placed so we told you to fuck off. You're costing Skip money and the restaurants money.

There are a lot of people like who place orders and complain about them the second they get it.

>>15038993
Damn right I'm going to complain immediately about you faggots taking 2 hours and showing up with the wrong meal. Sure, it's probably not Benny in customer service's fault, but when he tries to pass it off as a "reasonable delay and mistake" then I'm fully expecting a fucking refund.

Costing the company money, my fucking ass. Their own incompetence costs them money.

>>15038993
you're right, i got banned because i requested multiple refunds for orders that all took over an hour. i gave up using your shit service months ago stupid pajeet

>aerated ice cream to fake larger volume
>20% full chip bags
>reducing product size while keeping same container and price
>larger version of product is actually more expensive
>fountain drinks

Basically everything is some kind of scam.

>>15038796
Lol this. Imagine taking the word of a company that makes tires what constitutes good dining?

>>15038800
Because some people can't get into the behavior of buying alcohol themselves and drinking it alone or with friends OR going to a bar just to get drunk so if they drink at a restaurant it makes them feel less like alcoholics. Stupid I know

>>15038175

Holly shit how do you fuck up so bad? If we weren't trained to believe that women cook and men did it instead the quality of our diets would instantly spike

>>15038993
Skip the Dishes is a scam and I hope you fucking lose your job to Covid you fucking shill. And if I see you on my street you pajeet motherfucker I'll ban you from your life.

>>15039130
retard

>>15039294
You can solve this by being a good cook yourself so I don't really see the issue here.
>live by yourself. make food that is good for yourself.
>meet girl. make food for yourself and for her, she gets impressed and you keep seeing each other
>marry her. continue making food for yourself and for her and the kids.
Problem? If you want something done right, do it yourself.

>>15039294
Nigga I WISH my mom taught me to bake cakes, most modern moms just assume you learn to cook through osmosis.

>>15039171
Karen is the leftist's derogatory name for someone that expects what they pay for. It's racist to expect brown people to do their job.

>>15039186
(You)

>>15038219
get fucked cunt

>>15039130
Go back.

>>15039311
If you do everything for yourself what is the point of the woman?

>>15039311
what, cuck yourself by working all day and then coming home to cook? whilst she does.. what?

>>15039186
>2 hours is a "reasonable amount of time" for a service that provided a 30-minute quote on the delivery at the time the transaction was made
The company fucked up. The company paid for it.

>>15039316
It's the liberals way of attacking upper middle class white women for criticizing store employees for doing a shitty job in customer service which will backfire on them since who supports brown people and leftist movements more? Yes that's right, white middle class women.

>>15039312
You are not a real woman tho

>>15038235

You’re a fag

>>15038219
Vegemite is literally the shit.. I just had some on toast. you're all eating it wrong.

>>15038889

If you can't roughly distinguish on sight that 12.71 isn't 40% of 46.29 then you should pay idiot tax.

Credit card debt and welfare money. People who spend extravagantly on entertainment are the exact same ones who whine about being poor and demand the government give them free stuff.

>>15038419
>>"frozen dairy product"
God do I hate these. They're never as dense as real ice cream so they don't get/stay as cold, feels like eating whipped cream desu

>>15039842
Even what qualifies to put Ice Cream on the actual label is 50% air. No it didn't used to come this way.

>>15039878
ice cream has always been lighter. if you want less air you want gelato

>>15038375
where the fuck do these come from ive been seeing them in most bakeries since idk seven years ago but before that these literally didnt exist

>>15038984
not in a veggie burrito it doesnt

>>15039966
They come from Nanaimo BC. They are brownies with coconut and a mint icing.

>>15039983
ah. leafs doing numbers mandem. i also kinda meant when are they from cause they feel so trendy

Buffets are honestly always disgusting. My dad really likes going to them but I hate them.

Buffets are the biggest scam unless you're some cutthroat Chinese fuck pushing through the line to get literally every single half-crab from the fresh pan they just put out three seconds ago.

If you're enough of a glutton to eat 380$ worth of crab at a buffet before getting kicked out, you might have gotten your money's worth, though at the cost of your dignity.

>>15039992
Nanaimo bars have been around at least since the 60s. Usually see them more around Christmas. I hate them.

>>15038219
I thought that said "probably made in Australia" at first.

>>15038365

How much does a buffet usually cost?

>>15039294
This. My wife can't cook for shit. If I didn't actually enjoy cooking my family would probably be eating fast food or some other garbage non-stop.

"new york style" anything.

>>15038237
>need to order 2-3 plates of the same dish
The point of tapas is to get a bunch of different dishes anon

>>15039293
Yeah, you're right anon. It can't possibly be that some alcohol tastes good with food, and it's completely unreasonable to want to drink something like that while eating.

>>15041057
>"new york style" anything.
"american italian" anything

>>15038175
>What are the biggest food scams?
sushi
do not eat raw fish.

>>15041218
Ok flyover

>>15038312
I would agree with the plant milk thing but its gotten to the point where it's almost equal in price and some can be pretty tasty. I still prefer whole milk though.

Dark chocolate over 70% has uses in baking, I use it regularly.

I agree with the Ben and Jerrys and farmed fish

A5 wagyu makes sense with all of the work, time, and resources they use

>>15038396
You're a fucking retard, he said A5 wagyu. You did not buy A5 wagyu for $7 you moron

>>15038175
>uncooked steak sandwich
What is it with Japan and expensive raw meat dishes?

>>15038237
>>15038593
The idea of tapas is that you order tap drink (beer or cider) and get a free snack or meal with it, in Spain you have cheap bars where you do this and end up getting more food than you can eat for a couple of euros.
Having said so, done anywhere else is a scam, at least in my experience.

>>15038351
>Best Regards
>Fuck you kindly

>>15041237
I've never drank tasty plant milk. It's always just a watery fluid with slight hints of the taste of the nut involved, it fucking sucks. It's too watery to even be compared to milk, it has absolutely no consistency.

>>15040380
Nah, ever been to a Cici's pizza? Like 7 bucks to get in and you get unlimited pizza, cinnamon rolls, breadsticks, and soda. I probably eat at least 4000 calories every time I go.

>>15041237
About dark chocolate, I meant it for eating, I can see the use for confectionery. However, I think most baking chocolate is 67%, no?

>>15038375
simply an inferior take on millionaire shortbread

>>15041269

Only in so far that they can use it to replace the morality in their lives that should be occupied by religion. They will abandon this ideology as soon as it is practical, or prudent to do so and become the most adamant pro ethno fasc supporters ever.

>>15041057
New york style pizza is actually more popular around the world than the italian one

>>15038487
Christ. Just remembered I went to a hockey game a little while ago and spent 40 dollars on food just for me and my brother. Shits wack yo.

>>15040990
I'd actually be okay with this. Cleaning up is the worst part about cooking. Its the reason I buy paper plates at the supermarket instead of just washing the ones at my house.

Here in Russia we recently had a scandal when egg companies tried to introduce 9-egg cartons instead of usual 10-egg cartons, claiming that it's "more convenient". Not sure how it ended, but I haven't seen them in my city to begin with (though one company introduced a 15-egg carton recently).

any and all beverages that aren't water

any beverage that ISN'T water is still mostly water, yet costs exponentially more than water. Exceptions for stuff like harder alcohols, which are still scams but not because they are mostly water.

Bottled water. Just buy a damn filter...

SUSHI, and I'm speaking as a person in the Midwest USA where it is a extreme 'delicacy'. I love it, but fuck it is expensive. $5 per piece! Just not worth it.

>>15042461
My tap water is so harsh that it blocks up a standard brita filter in less than a month.
"Well water is always better" is a fucking meme.

>>15042471
If you live in the Midwest you can't get good sushi.

>>15042378
Their called asian buffets for a reason

>>15038237
Give tapas a break. They used to proudly defend Spain from jews, and if you look into the abyss the abyss may look back into you.

>>15038175
literally anything with a french name.
Look hard and you'll notice a trend:

1) take basic no-name dish that exists in every culture
2) do some autistic unnecessary shit
3) give it a french name, claim it's some super special dish, when the name is just french for basic shit.

example: coq au vin. It's literally just chicken stew.

>>15042783
>coq au vin. It's literally just chicken stew.
Ummmmmm? Actually it's rooster stew.

I went out to eat two nights ago to some shitty restaurant for the first time in months. was 60 dollars for two plates of food and it tasted like absolute dogshit and the waitress was retarded. I paid her ten dollars to lift food off a tray the chef brought out and place it in front of me. I also felt like total shit after I ate restaurant food and all it was, was a pork loin in some consommé.

>pay for two pieces of mediocre sushi from a shitty sushi chain
>"that will be 50 dollars plus tip"
Why the fuck does this happen? Rice and vinegar can't be that expensive can it?

>>15038993
I worked in food delivery and its complete bullshit.

>>15038175
>biggest food scams?
Store purchased ground meat.

Get a Lem grinder, and pick a good chuck, chop and grind.

>>15038312
Its interesting, plant and almond milks date back to the Middle Ages for Lent, so that they're some kind of novelty and expensive drink nowadays is funny.

>>15043316
Well, almonds are fucking expensive.
Even if you use 100g almonds per liter, it already costs more in raw ingredients than raw milk.

>>15042783
>Ignoring Classic French culinary techniques that elevate this dish above other stews

authentic italian restaurants, literally selling village food to dumb westerners who refuse to stick to the recipe and wonder why it tastes better there

so? just replace the inner filter and then call a fucking plumber to look at your shitty pipes, dickhead.

>>15038487
True, BUT: If I had to choose one single food as the greatest food of all time, it would be the burger you buy the the concession stand at a small stadium, like a highschool football game. It costs about $6, comes wrapped in foil, and you add the toppings around the corner. Eat it while your team is winning and it's a cold fall night.

>>15042479
>"Well water is always better" is a fucking meme.
I'm shocked people say this lmao. Well water is fuckin awful most of the times i've had it

>>15038182

The absolute state of burgers

I've had these every year since I was born in the 80s, canadian here

You faggots have bad taste if you don't fucking like nanaimo bars

>>15044619
Eh. I remember getting them on the ferry over to the island every summer when I went to stay with my grandparents in Comox. They're alright, but I'd never go out of my way to bother making them and haven't had them in years.

>>15038375

I just took my wife on a date to a tapas restaurant in America. It was priced $6-11 per plate, and we ordered three plates plus dessert. I thought each dish was priced reasonably. We were both uncomfortably full after three plates (taking dessert to-go), eating roughly the same amount, even though I am a tall tub of lard and she's a short twig. Plus, the service was commendable and the ambiance was delightfully nondescript in that IKEA-futurism kind of way.

Tapas are basado.

People do this shit in hotels too. I manage a location, so all the shitty people filter up to me. Generally I just give them points and they go away. $5 worth of points bought from the brand is worth enough for a free night, so it's easy to just get rid of 'em. I pretty much never issue refunds if people stay the night and complain at the end, however.

Holy shit, this. Fucking absolute cringe. You pay 5x the cost to get meat that's already been cut open and oxidized. Awful.

Also: fruit/veggie platters. I've noticed they've been creeping up in price still for some reason; my local supermarket does a 1kg platter for 18 fucking dollars.

I remember hearing that the Falcons made some sort of deal or adopted a strategy of low concessions prices to raise attendance and lo and behold, it worked a charm.
Looking it up, apparently the owner basically just decided to lower prices because it was demanded in fan feedback. Pretty based.
I think most sports teams don't have so much control over concessions prices due to lease deals or whatever though so that might be why it's not more common to have cheap concessions

So "Champaign" has to come from the "Champaign region"- seems fair right
Except this creates a cartel where a small number of producers can fix the global price.
Can producers in these regions just buy ingredients from other regions and charge double? of course, that's the whole point!
Can a region produce a raw product, process it somewhere labour is cheaper and still claim the label? Sure, why not.
Why can producers do both these things, sometimes at once?
They sall their raw produce for quadruple what it's worth because it allows the buyer to claim the label; and at the same time they can make their own with shitty imported ingredients.

Why don't countries get angry about this?
They can't do jack shit about it, because they are part of he EU and will get sanctioned and sued by everyone if they try.

ALDI was successfully prosecuted for making "Champaign ice cream" when they used actual champagne from champagne.
It was reversed on appeal, but even the reversal was a heap of shit
>https://ipkitten.blogspot.com/2017/12/cjeu-rules-that-ice-cream-sold-as.html

>>15051765
I would also add, that there is more (often hundreds of times more) of these protected products on the market than are declared by the regions concerned.
Almost all are counterfeit.
>https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/feb/01/9000-bottles-fake-moet-padova-shed-italian-police

How can counterfeiting of this scale go on without the region blowing the whistle?
Because they are counterfeiting it themselves, knowing nobody else has any motivation to lay charges except consumers, being able to manipulate the legitimate trade to hide the counterfeiting, and exploiting loopholes in national law.

Champagne comes up again and again, there is just no way you can make the global sales figures add up.
Champagne houses claim to produce more than the region itself declares to begin with- and many international exporters claim to have sold more than the region produced as well, and they have the money so the question is what exactly did they sell

>>15051661
Cooked deli meats like bologna already presliced so you can take it out and put it on your sandwich in the morning

>>15051765
>>15051794
I guess in Champagne's case its literally fake it till you make it.

The price of soda.

>Non-Alcoholic Beverages
These items cost the restaurant between 5 cents and 20 cents per serving. Keep that in mind the next time you want to order a $2.50 Coke. Soda is so cheap that paper cups, when used, represent a bigger expense than the soda itself.

What is that about? I specifically had this happen multiple times in Minneapolis. I don't know what their deal is, but I went to several high end restaurants and they acted like they were doing me a fucking favor.

I have no dietary restrictions, I don't hit on the staff like a boomer, I don't skimp, I tip well, I'm a generally decent guy.

The entire time it seemed like the waitstaff couldn't be bothered serve me, basically throwing the shit on the table. Same thing with the hostess when I first got to a restaurant.

I told her my name and asked if my table was ready because I was 5 min early. She looked at me like I had an ear growing out of my forehead, paused for like a minute, then said she'd have to go check.

I was travelling for work so this was like a Tuesday and the place was dead. It was so confusing. The whole atmosphere felt like they were telling you you're lucky to be here. Like what the fuck I'm the one paying.

I've never been more triggered in my life. Craziest part was the food was actually great.

In my experience a lot of people are dissatisfied with their job because it doesn't offer any growth. Often times the shift + commute + unstable hours devour any time for relaxing, self-care, or social activities. Many people who have "failed in life" and become a waiter want to either go for the first time or return to school but don't have the money or time.
Also, many customers are entitled as fuck. When people go out to a restaurant, they expect to have a moderately good time and if a good time is not had, then the blame usually falls on the waitstaff. Some people will go out of their way to take out their anxieties on a vulnerable individual. If a waiter stands up for themselves while being emotionally abused by a customer, they will get a write-up or fired on the spot. A waiter is expected to go to their manager in hopes of getting someone else to take over, which more often than not doesn't happen. It creates a cold employee who "has a spine" but does not want to engage beyond what is necessary to get their job done.
Even people who go out of their way to be as nice as possible and even make their waiter smile can't break through. It's just part of the growing dissatisfaction in work culture.

On the other hand, there are people who truly - for lack of a better word - bootlick and put on a song and dance for every moment of the day in hopes of rising in the corporate ladder despite receiving just as much abuse from customers and neglect from their higher ups. I don't know how they do it or if they are just better at hiding their brokenness.

>>15047805
That's basically the exact opposite of spanish tapas.
In spain the portions are tiny. You're not actually supposed to fill up on them. You order a couple, have some sangria, then stroll out into a plaza for a while before going to the next tapas place and doing it all over again.
Waiters are rude and you have to basically hunt them down and force them to take your order.

>>15052528
Oh for sure, I know people don't like their jobs, I hate mine. I also used to work in a restaurant so I'm aware of the general soul suck that is the service industry.

Maybe I wasn't describing it right, but this was not malaise, anger, or depression. It was like snooty and acting like they were better than me. It was really odd, I don't quite know how to describe it. Kinda like I said, they were acting as if I were lucky to be dining there. Like this shit isn't Noma, it's a hip restaurant in the twin cities and it's a slow weekday.

Sorry if I'm coming off shitty, but I also haven't had this issue in other cities to often. But it just seemed like a lot of the waitstaff felt like they were too good to be waitstaff or something.

Maybe it was the culture of the restaurant, but it happened at a couple of different places.

Best service I had was at a hot dog joint called Uncle Franky's. Idk maybe I just don't jive with people in Minneapolis.

>>15052598
were you white dining at a restaurant that served food and had waitstaff from a predominately non-white culture?

>>15052603
I kinda see where you're going with that. It was like your typical "New American" small plate restaurant vibe. So not really specific to a culture, I'd say mixed but mostly white.

It wasn't like I was an outsider intruding. Except that's what it felt like.

Also tbf when I go to places where I'm the minority, I typically get treated very well and have a great time.

Had that happen to me recently. Went out with my dad, grandma, and wife just after lunch, and grandma had spent all morning going through a battery of medical tests and had been fasting for a day. Wife and I ordered some cocktails while waiting for dad and grandma to get out of testing, and had eaten lunch before leaving the house, then when the rest of the party showed up, we didn't get food, told the waiter that we were just having drinks. Once he realized only 2/4 were eating entrees, he totally fucking ignored us afterwards. I easily could have gone for another round or two, as could my wife, but he never showed back up until he dropped the check.

Like, FFS retard, when you're charging $10/cocktail, not giving customers a chance to refill them kept an extra $40 off the bill, and he never checked in on dad and grandma after they got their food. Stiffed him on the tip.

>>15054986
First of all, I agree, but Americans can't get good pho because the restaurants have to cater to them, meaning the broth is going to be too heavy and sweet, or completely bland (and they hand you the hoisin sauce bottle and tell you "it's very authentic!")

Second, holy shit, making pho at home is not gonna turn out well. If it's dark or cloudy, you've fucked up. It's a dish that's super hard to nail at home and you basically NEED a family recipe.
