/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>16084857
i've never had food from a movie theatre, only popcorn/candy and drinks. we are simply different.

>>16084860
When this all ends, try the moist hotdog from the aluminum wrapper. There is nothing else like it

>>16084863
Don't think I will, thanks.

>>16084864
Stale nachos and hot microwave cheese?

>>16084870
Just popcorn for me, thanks.

>>16084871
do you visit the freestyle machine at least

for me it's crab legs

Dill pickle powder :)

>>16084880
Nope just water for me, thanks.

When Dune comes out I already have a reservation to go one of those theaters with full food service and drinks with a few friends.

>>16084857
The food so good for the price that they ban bringing other food in. A menu centered on salty stuff and big cokes so that you can get a sexual thrill out of holding in lots of piss. The whole audience collaborating in a trying-to-eat-quietly ASMR soundscape. I love it.
The pandemic forcing new release streaming was worse than the deaths. If people have a different option than the theater nobody will go and we'll lose a treasured experience forever.

>>16084920
Who or what is "friends"? I do not know this word.

>>16084883
oh man! could you imagine someone sitting behind you cracking and smacking crab legs? and the smell!

>>16084857
you people are the reason i am laughed at for being american and enjoying cuisine.

>>16085104
those faggots that you have to be around and listen to have shit takes on media and politics.

>>16084863
>try the moist hotdog from the aluminum wrapper
I’m afraid it can’t compete with the gas station roller-grill dog’s slightly aged patina and soft leather casing. I have to go with non-hotdog items at a movie.

>>16084870
The theater I used to go to also had the thickish liquid chilli sauce for nachos/dogs. So I always liked a 50/50 mix of the chilli/cheese for my nachos, and add some of the ranch dust in >>16084887


>>16084880
My nigga. Time for some Seagram’s ginger ale with lime.

>>16084857
I miss the butter dispenser for popcorn. put the straw on it so you can inject the butter into the bucket for even distribution

>>16084857
If you miss the popcorn, you can easily make the same thing at home with pic related. A stove top popcorn maker, kernels, coconut oil, and flavacol is all you need, maybe some clarified butter for topping if you're into that but not everyone is.

>>16085406
Can’t eat popcorn anymore I get diverticulitis.

>>16085406
Yeah I figure this is the way I'm going. I already bought the flavocol carton to sprinkle on microwave pop but it ain't the same

>>16084880
cherry coke from these machines while sitting in a movie theater is just different, I don't know why

>>16084857
I don't miss the theaters at all. I do miss drive-ins though. I use to go to one that served up some damn good BBQ.

>>16085144
I go completely alone and wear headphones when im in public spaces before the movie
I also smoke a double sized doobie and spend at least $30 at the concession stand

>Im crying right now.. :(
>i miss the shitty food sold here

>>16085947
I miss being in busy places my province is STILL locked down

>>16086157
Kinoplex is a based passtime

>>16084870
for only $15

>Kinoplex is a based passtime

Damn, it only costed me $20 to watch a shitty movie that I can't pause while obese smelly people sit next to me, eat loud snacks, cough the flu directly into my face, look at their cell phones at maximum brightness, talk at the characters on the movie, and belly laugh at unfunny jokes. I enjoyed the time I was trying to watch Iron Man 2 and the projector blacked out for 10 minutes. But I think the thing that I miss most was getting my shoes stuck to the floor in people's spilled sodas and childrens' vomit.

Boy, it would be a real shame if movie theaters all closed and never re-opened.

>>16084857
hey thats me in the red coat wtf

>>16084857
my theater just opened back up. Apparently, they have Doritos Nachos, I'll probably try them if they accept cash.

>>16086185
Hey where's Robert?

Theaters have been opened in my area for a few months. Everything is pretty much normal, just limited seating capacity.

>>16084863
I got a scene credit card and had like 7000 points before the lockdown and have been using them on food

>>16084863
The cineplex I go to in Ottawa has a Walmart right beside it so I just buy my smart food movie night butter popcorn there

>>16086258
lmao stop going to $3 run down theatres in the ghetto then

>>16085563
You won't regret it, it's way cheaper than microwave popcorn and tastes exactly like it does at the movie theaters.

>>16086258
this sounds like a complaint that someone who has never been to a theater but watched comedy skits about them would write.

Overpriced concessions, YUM

>>16085104
There sorta like kids only your not related but both can empty your wallet.

>>16084857
I’ll take a large popcorn and large cherry icee. Then I’ll spend a couple minutes making the popcorn soggy with butter at the self serve butter dispenser then douse with salt

i've always wondered if i'm just fucked up physically or something but how do you hear what is going on in the movie when eating popcorn or crunchy foods like nachos?

>>16084880
fucking this, also Movie theather exclusive ICEE flavors I miss you missing link mango and the MiB Black cherry ICEE

>>16084857
i miss the pretzel bites. also dated a big tiddy australian girl who loved to sneak burritos into the movies, probably shoulda married her baka.

>>16084857
I can honestly say I miss nothing about the movie theatre experience. It's very stressful for me, especially the prices, then having your friends eat loudly next to you because you didn't buy anything. Then the movies go out of their way to be psychologically manipulative instead of just entertaining, often they're not even entertaining, just violent and generally oppressive to life and art. I think the last good movie I saw in theatres was Eyes Wide Shut, and that was a long, long time ago.

>>16084857
the last movie i saw in a theatre was The Help. A large popcorn and large drink was $15. Ain't nobody got time for that.

>>16087830
I need a "do not use when lit" shirt.

>>16084870
botulism

>>16084857
What happened? Did you get deported back to Liberia?

>>16084870
SLOPPA SHIT

>>16084857

Movie theatres in the Netherlands are wack as fuck.

Only good thing is that you can get beer.

>>16084863
It’s never going to end

How do they make movie theater popcorn i must emulate it

>>16090142
Flavacol

>>16085406
What is flavacol? Is it just msg magic?
Would you make or buy the clarified butter

>>16086185
jiro dreams of movies

Why the fuck do they only sell this shit at cinemas
I'd have it on an IV drip if I could

>>16090150
butter flavoured salt. it's pretty good

In my city, which has been in full lock down since October, as a last ditch effort to stay afloat theaters starting offering theater popcorn and snacks on Ubereats. But the scumfuck parasites that live here cried about the prices so much that they stopped, and now will surely collapse.

I hate this fucking city so much.

I literally went to the cinema in NYC three days ago. I got a coke zero and cookie bites.

>>16087736
Outrageously based

Just how retarded are you?

Do any of your nearby theaters sell alcoholic drinks?

>>16090765
one independent one has cans of beer/coolers and some shitty mixed drinks. and there are a few "vip" theaters around that have table service and drinks.

>>16090765
There's an AMC by me that just opened and it has a small bar. it's in a more high end mall so the whole theater it's well maintained and always clean.

>>16090150
You can buy clarified butter now but it's also pretty easy to make.

yes

>>16091245
What kind of butter would you recommend to buy if you wanna make clarified butter? I think i have salted butter at home but i dont think thats wise to use

>>16084863
they make you throw out the unbought hot dogs. I'd take them home, ate like millions of them. literally nothing special, you can make 10x better shit at home with a pan

>>16085947
This would be a good alternative to theaters
Everyone can just stay in their car. Social Distancing.

>>16090765
Yes

>>16093186
Its not the same without controlled lighting, being seen in public etc etc

A quality theatre really sets the mood

>>16084857
did so many people have such lame lives that going to the cinema was the only fun thing in their lives? all the cool people go to bars and clubs and all the fatties and incels go to the theatre?

To put Freestyle Coke machines into service mode press the pour button 4 times in rapid succession and then hold the ice dispenser. This isn't super helpful to you but it can ruin a wagie's day.

>>16087830
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn...

>>16090765
Yes of all of them now regal

>>16093262

idk theyre doing drive in theatres where im at rn. my gf took me to a drive in screening of akira on the top of this parking structure downtown and we were surrounded by the lights from the skyscrapers just chillin in the trunk drinking wine and eating from the food trucks. it was VERY comfy.

>>16093007
Unsalted if you can, I believe you can use salted since you're using it as popcorn topping where the salt wont hurt either way.
