Nothing. I am as pleb as they get

I'm rather particular about cooking eggs over-medium, but I try not to hold other people up to my standards.

There's a variant of the gyro that's popular in my area, I'm pretty picky about those. Funny too because it's a super greasy and sweet meal you usually pick up in your way home from a night of drinking

cajun and creole food.
i grew up in new orleans, i cant help it.
im even snobbish about my own cooking. if it's not absolutely perfect in my mind i will mull it over for the rest of the evening where i fucked up.

>>16726105

I'm a snob within the segment. I'll be snobby about expensive restaurants compared to other expensive restaurants (especially about service), but I have no problem eating at cheap places and wouldn't think to compare them to anything other than similarly cheap places.

But I would compare a hamburger across a spectrum of places since that's a similar category. Why pay $20 for a burger from a place if I could get something just as good if not better for $5? It's a fair comparison at that point. But in the same vein I'm not going to compare a steakhouse to a diner. You should know what you're getting in each experience

>>16726105
Bread.
I hate factory made white bread and refuse to eat it.

>>16726435
Understandable desu
I think once I stop being a NEET I will stick to actual bread

>>16726105
Coleslaw, especially when it’s put on things like hotdogs or pulled pork sandwiches. I feel like there’s a colossal difference between normal coleslaw you’d eat out of a bowl and coleslaw you’d use as a topping and understanding that difference speaks volumes about whoever is running a barbecue joint.

Hotdogs. Only buy premium shit, won't touch em otherwise

>>16726105
>What food/drink are you a legitimate snob about?
Pizza and sushi

>>16726105
chocolate

>>16726435
Yeah, this. If you've grown up in continental europe with wide ranges of bread like German rye and sourdough, French baguette rustique, Italian ciabatta, I simply cannot comprehend how people can call that white industrial toast loaf "bread". I only use that for croque monsieur sometimes.

>>16726105
Ribs
Pulled pork
Brisket
Burgers

>>16726105
Nothing in particular, but I am a freshness snob.

>>16726105
Explain the term legitimate snob?

A snob is someone who is per definition illegitimate about [everything].

>>16726496
Fresh, seasonal produce isn't a snobism.

It's common sense.

>>16726105
Ice cream, fuck those shitty people that make "ice cream" recipes without eggs.

Not a snob, but pizza. Grew up in NJ.

Also fruit and veg should be good quality

>>16726105
Coffee, I am a gearqueer.

>>16726332
Any advice?

I don’t act snobby about certain cuisines but I will sperg out about food I prepare abd serve to others.

>>16726105
The only thing I can think of is beer. I won't fuck with Coors, Bud, Busch, or any of that other InBev bullshit that people try to pass off as beer in America. I also don't like most IPAs and Sours. If I go to a party and there's nothing but Bud Light, Michelob, Coors, etc, I'll just be the designated driver for the night.

>>16726506
>Explain the term legitimate snob?

Something besides a faggy joke answer.

pleb is the new snob

>>16726105
homemade mac and cheese.
i can do blue box fine if it's like camping or i just want something cheap and easy but i will harshly judge your mac and cheese.

Mexican food. I grew up in San Diego, so its a way of life. I can't believe how many places fuck up this incredibly simple food, and how many states with mexicans have shit tier mexican food.

>>16726664
Sounds like you just don't like beer

>>16727449
Not him, but I really like beer. I won't drink AB InBev shit just out of principle. Fuck them and the sellouts who make millions from them.

>>16727442
Hardly any of the mexicans in my area can cook worth shit. A lot of them are second and third generation and don't even know spanish. The kids are hilarious. They'll wear their Hecho en Mexico shirts and talk with an accent when they're trying to be badasses, but if this white boy speaks spanish to them, they get all flustered and call me a gringo.

The restaurants are hilariously bad. There's a couple of places that are fine, but most are shit.

>>16726332
i grew up in south alabama and i bet good money i can make a better gumbo than you, ours just hits different than the luizianne trash

>>16726650
>Any advice?
dont try and replicate our food if you didnt grow up down here, you just have to have grown up with it to be able to cook it well

>>16726435
that's not snobby, thats just not wanting to be cheap

>>16727523

>>16726105
Bacon butties.
No store bought shit, no takeaway bacon butty has been good; the bacon in them is always undercooked, pearl white fat and no crisp at all or burned rock hard.
Brown sauce.
Nice solid bread with a good crust, toasted.
Good quality butter, not yet tried to make my own.

It's the simplest things like a bacon/sausage butty or cheese toasty that people can't get right.

>>16726105
Meat. I seethe and dilate when I see people overseasoning or overcooking their meat it literally throws me into a bad mood. I feel bad for eating meat already, like why desecrate it? I cut someone out of my life after knowing they put mayonnaise on their severely overdone steak. Niggers.

>>16726450
elaborate

>>16726105
Everything. I want fresh ingredients, temp appropriate food that is not over or undercooked, and i want each meal to have a good mix of protein, fats, carbs, and fiber with a heavy focus on chicken, fish, and a good blend seasonal veggies. I also like my coffee fresh, well ground, and brewed with water that doesn't taste bad. Unfortunately i am the only one who cares about this in all of my family so i do all the cooking and no one bothers to learn or appreciates what i make. My parents, especially, think of all you can eat buffets as the highest level of culinary ddelight, though my wife really enjoys everything i make.

seasonings. ive poked fun at my friends for having shit like "steak seasoning" in their pantries. theyre also in their late 20s and keep shit like gushers stocked.

I used to be pretty snobby about everything but after I spent time away from my parents I can't care too much. the only gripe I have is shitty inauthentic food where it's obviously watered-down or under-seasoned. and Italian American food is mostly trash I will always be snobby about that

>>16727613
Sure. I think there’s two main lines to classify slaw. First, how it’s cut, either rougher cut with bigger pieces or fine cut through a food processor. Second is sweet or vinegary/salty. With that in mind, I think there’s zero reason to put vinegar slaw on things because you’re looking for a sweet, creamy counterbalance to the sauce on something like a pulled pork sandwich or a hotdog that, in my region, will also have beanless chili on it. That leaves us with sweet, but rough cut or fine cut? I argue fine cut belongs on food while rough belongs in a bowl. While there’s not a lot truly WRONG with the rough cut, the actual liquid of the slaw sometimes has a hard time sticking to it. If this happens, the coleslaw will sort of “crumble” and fall away from what it’s on. To experience a prime example, go to a Cookout and order a hotdog with chili and coleslaw if they’re present in your area. Fine cut rarely has this problem and is more likely to behave as, say, relish would. I believe this is a quick way to judge whether a person running a barbecue joint is more than just another goon burning meat for 12 hours and drenching it in glorified ketchup and simply serving slaw because it would be weird not to. It might be a weird hill to die on, but it’s the one I’ve chose.

>>16727544
my fault for entering a snob thread I guess but christ you sound like an insufferable faggot, anyone can learn how to cook any style stop trying to gatekeep your backyard neighbourhood trash which in most cases is quite deliberately designed to be as simple and rudimentary as possible

I seeth when people put their already bland out of season tomatoes in the fridge for like a week to turn them into grainy slop
also artificial sweetener. ever since bongland introduced a sugar tax all of my fav fizzy drinks have that shit in and I can absolutely taste it

>>16727828

>>16729130
It's not fair that literally every soft drink nowadays uses artificial sweeteners. I like to have one very very occasionally as a treat, but now they're ruined because there are too many fatasses who guzzle them down like water.

AB InBev is a company that specializes in buying breweries. Sometimes they leave them alone, but a lot of the time they try figure out how to cheapen the recipe to drive profits, often to the detriment of the product.

>>16727834
Just use Kuroba-dev, newfag.

>>16727643
Not him but I like pic related the best.

coffee, eggs, blue berries

Cheese, bread, sweetbread. As an American I need to promote the old way of making these since we're lacking them.

>>16727449
Nah I love beer. I just don't like the "American style pilsner" that Bud, Coors, etc likes to shill. Fuckin Pilsner Urquell is way better than any of that shit. I used to think I hated Pilsners til I tried a European style one.

>>16726105
>beer

Basically 99% of things that people make tasteless, cheap as fuck, low quality shit for as a replacement and act like it is superior. There is a big difference between super market sushi, some all you can eat place and an actual good sushi place and I am not talking Jiro's here but a normal sushi place that is affordable and doesn't use fish pre cut from a sealed package bought at a chinese supermarket in bulk and rice pressed by machine.

>>16726105
pizza

I'll never understand people who prefer shit like papa johns to brick oven pizza. The crust is like night and day to me

>>16729892
have you even been to Nipon though?

>>16729773
I thought black pepper was just to cover up the taste of a shitty gin, isn't Hendricks not a shitty gin?

>>16729901
Fucking BASED. I can't stand papa John's, dominoes, pizza hut, all of that plebfeed shit. No difference between that pizza and the shit sitting under heat lamps for hours at 7-11.

>>16729890
Based fellow American anon. What traditional sweetbread preparations should I know about? Gf and I make our own bread most of the time and she just got into making cheese.

>>16729941
its the latest (a year or two ago) trend for pseuds

>>16729962
Damn that's news to me since I'm not a gin drinker. My gf always used black pepper to cover up the taste of cheap gin, as I mentioned. Helps when drinking as a poorfag. But as usual, poorfag stuff gets co-opted by hipsters.

>>16729967
might be a european thing then
hendricks is also a fairly expensive gin

Yeah maybe it is, every time she has said something about black pepper in gin people don't know what she's talking about and haven't heard of it. We're American. And yeah Hendricks is pricey. I wish I liked gin so I could appreciate it, it always smells really nice, particularly their seasonal gins.

emril legasse is not new orleans

find recipes from shitty 1995 lookin websites and take the time to make a good roux then take it off the fire when your satisfied.
mix your ingredients and get it to a point where it wont burn anymore.
stirring for 30minutes constantly sucks but it sucks far less than than a shit ton of little burnt flakes suspended in your gumbo.

lol that's my immediate pass/fail for gumbo
if i see tomatoes it's trash.

>>16729909
Yes, but mostly I am just lucky I have an actual good sushi place in my town. Opening sushi shops seems to be a new trend for Arabs nowadays and I've seen enough Chinese supermarkets to know how they get their fish.

>>16731063
theres really people out there stupid enough to trust arabs with raw food?
jesus christ the west is lost.

Coffee. I don’t care about how it was prepared but since moving to the PNW from the easy coast my eyes have been opened to how coffee doesn’t need to taste like battery acid.

Bread and cheese.

only the stuff i make myself or if a friend/relative says they have 'the best' recipe for something i know how to make. only then do i get a bit cunty. (but not to a woman, they need very careful criticism.) i think most people are like this and that people who name ultra-specific things in this thread do so for a laff, because of an allergy, or because they've had some kind of bad emotional experience that the food is inextricable from. being a 'legitimate' snob means that being a snob at certain times, about certain things is acceptable. it's cunty unless someone asks you for guidance.

Buttermilk ranch because very few establishments seem to know how to make it properly.

Not a snob but i consider Mccormick's mayo to be the gold standard, its peak mayonnaise so delicious you can eat it straight out of the jar. Nothing else compares to it, nothing at all.

Hellmanns is the most repulsive mayo ive ever tasted, its genuinely god awful. same with shit like "mayo dressing" which is not mayo or "low fat" which is plain disgusting

>>16733392
what gin is best for nigeroni?

not food or drink but just keeping your kitchen clean, its gets do me when people leave things all over the place. they make the food and then fucks off to their room and leave everything they used on the counter

most US coffee is horrible, the way they do it in italy or germany or australia is way better

Stout beer. Nothing more, nothing less. I expect my stout to drink like coffee flavored bitter water, be as high in ABV as it can hide, and that it not taste like a fucking cake. It is my favorite style of beer, and I am extremely particular about it.

>>16726105
Since i got into cooking i'm often underwhelmed from sauces. Restaurants or or other people use way less or even leave out butter, fonds, wines/spirits and herbs.

>>16729773
Newsflash faggot, Hendricks is overpriced shit - sure, the bottles look nice and their advertising is good but the liquor sucks. My favourite is probably Beefeater 24 or Tanq 10. Cucumber and peppercorns are not a good garnish imo, I tend to go with a rocks glass, frozen, ice spinned and drained off, gin and tonic in, and a squeeze of grapefruit as a garnish. That’s good stuff

>>16734368
how would you make your Martini? I usually use Tanq Import and Noily Prat dry in a 5:1 with two muddled Olives and it is bomb. Probably not the "real" way though and not the best gin

>>16734339
I cook when I'm hungry. When I'm hungry, I don't want to do dishes, I want to eat the food I just made. Fuck you, I'll clean it up when I'm done eating.

Pussy

Probably just burgers. A decent burger from a restaurant around me is around $12. But they have the audacity to:
>no crust or grill marks on beef
>have soggy buns
>have only meme toppings
>not salt the beef (no lie)

And if it came with fries and a drink for that price, then I wouldn't sweat it, but that's like another $3 or $4 extra.

Steak. I'm not a snob with the seasoning you use (as long as you aren't a retard who uses steak sauce) but I am a snob about how it's cooked. If I order my steak medium rare, I expect it to be and will tell the waiter to send the steak back if it isn't cooked that way. Worst experience I've had with this was getting an extremely well done steak, send it back, then receive a fucking blue-rare steak next which I also sent back. Being able to cook a medium-rare steak is one of the most basic fucking things a cook should be able to do yet it is fucked up all the time.

>>16726105
martinis
usually they use an open, unrefridgerated vermouth
I want tanqueray, cold fresh dry vermouth, olives with a filling for garnish. I ask before ordering, not order and snub my nose

>>16735536
I went on a date with the best girlfriend I ever had, I ordered my steak rare. They gave me something along the lines of well, so I asked the waiter to go back and ask if they could bring me a rare steak. They brought me back the same piece of meat, saying they could not cook something that could give me a foodborne illness.

Mexican food. The ingredients are cheap and basic but quality varies massively.

Everything comes down to fresh, organic products and proper preparation.

>Well marinated pink carne from a flank steak vs overcooked greasy/salty trimmings
>Fresh crunchy jalapenos vs dry powder
>Tortilla cooked infront of you vs microwaved shit
>Real tortilla chips
>Pinto/black bean vs refried mush
Ect.

It's all so simple but most Mexican restaurants make the greasy grandpa shit and charge you $10 for .5lb of leftovers. Fucking lazy beaners.

Spaghetti. I hate it (very boring to eat) and it's almost inedible unless my mom makes it. Everyone thinks watery spaghetti sauce is acceptable for some reason.

cookies, specifically chocolate chip, but i have a lot of options on the other varieties of cookie. sounds dumb but it's because i just like them and have existed for enough years and it's been my mild niche in food. as in it's the thing that i enjoy enough to specifically go for but not enough to be my favorite and be burned out in a few years. chocolate chip cookies should be
>a good base that can be tasty on it's own but will likely be missing something without chocolate chip
>NOT DRY OR CRUMBLY OR CRISPY
>favoring buttery flavor over sweetness, this isn't to say that it should taste buttery. it's to distinguish the flavor, as in it should not be too sweet. if it does then it's bad, but many chocolate chip cookies are just very sweet and that's not good. the primary sweetness should come from the chocolate chunks in it
>on the topic of the chocolate, it's chunks of chopped chocolate. not too big, but medium sized. although it's called a chocolate chip cookie, it shouldn't actually have traditional "chocolate chips" in them.
>oily chocolate chips exist and they are bad
>they should be chewy, in a nearly approaching brownie texture
>it's easy to overshoot the chewiness and make the cookie too oily, and this is bad.
>many many many cookies are just straight up crumbly or dry in texture. chewy cookies are where it's at.
getting into nuances here
>any sort of toffee cookie ends up being a good cookie base in my experience, like if it was chocolate chip it'd be a very good chocolate chip
>browned butter is good in chocolate chip
>a bit of vanilla is often the element that can add dimension to the base but at the same time it's like the butter, you shouldn't be able to taste it really.
>for whatever reason those m&m type cookies are often a horrible base.

the best chocolate chip cookie that most people can easily find is the two pack from quickcheck. that sounds insane, i know, but it's very good.

>>16738496
on the topic of other cookies
>chocolate chip is best
>those "double chocolate" style cookies or cookies like pic related can be good if they're closer to chewy-brownie texture but not fudgy or overly chocolatey. it's hard to describe but they've been very good. i've also had them with marshmallows and that's very good.
>peanut butter cookies are good if they're chewy but they're often not, and sad and dry.
>oatmeal raisin is underrated, and if they know what they're doing there's cinnamon flavor prominent in it. it's a good litmus test for cookies
>black and white cookies are very divisive and in my experience you just need to be in the mood for them. it happens once every few years.
>sugar cookies are much the same way, you need to be in the mood for them. if you're not in the mood for chocolate but want a cookie then these are often a good option. 9 times out of 10 they're done well, unless they're super dry. people don't often mess these up and they're a safe choice.
>white chocolate macadamia is a less common variety of cookie but like, the less common out of the common cookies. it's okay. if it's really good then it delivers the buttery flavor of the macadamia nut without a lot of sweetness. there's a lot of variation here though, can be very hit or miss.

By your logic chili is just spaghetti sauce with beans.
Sounds appetizing as fuck genius good job.

>>16727805
I agree with small cut but I can't support sweet slaw. BBQ sauce is sweet, the meat is fatty on your pulled pork or hot dog. Vinegary makes much more sense.

>>16738565
the addition of beans makes it into its own meal, meaning you don't have to add a carb like pasta. This is obvious to everyone outside of texas

This is a massive irritation I have with so many jar sauces. They're so watery liquid pools under the spaghetti.

It's really odd how few people (at least here in America) bother with loose leaf, when it tastes so much better than bags and is barely any harder to brew or even more expensive. Something like a gongfu'd Wuyi oolong or shou is almost impossible to fuck up.

>>16727805
i agree, except about the sweetness - a vinegar slaw can still work as a condiment - depends on the sausage it's going on

cocktails.
I've made so many that I can immediately tell if the bartender is cutting corners.

Not sure if snob or not: I either eat things that attract me and give me real pleasure or nothing.

Basically I only find raw food edible. I eat fresh, delicious fruits, crudités, algae, nuts and delicious raw meats, fish and seafoods.
I also hate refined sugar, honey, maple syrup, tea, coffee, alcohol, any other drink than water or coconut water.
Can't eat bland, cooked or processed foods for energy or social reasons.

Forgot to say, the only thing I can eat slightly cooked are eggs (poached)

I really hate you

Not sure if this counts, but I generally hate sandwiches from sliced bread. If it's been grilled like a club, grilled cheese, fried pb&j sandwich, patty melt, etc., then I can tolerate it. But a turkey sandwich like that? The fuck out of here.

There doesn't seem to be any demand for bread where I live. There are no local bakeries. Walmart is your best bet if you want a "proper" sub roll that isn't cake-y like a hot dog/hamburger bun or chewy like the exterior of a baguette. I've never seen sub rolls at Kroger. Walmart usually sells them with a "french steak roll" or "brat bun" sticker. It's the closet thing to Subway, Lenny's, Jersey Mikes, etc. as possible.

It's baffling that more people aren't demanding stores carry something comparable to the breads at these places.

BBQ.

>not enjoying changing up garnishes and gins for different flavour profiles
recently i'm very into the four pillars olive leaf gin, formula antica, campari. add a good quality italian or australian olive. works well with orange or lemon. ends up really savoury.
i'm really into negroni-based cocktails and coming up with my own. i am absolutely a natural wine wanker. i hate buying premade anything. i only buy whole coffee beans roasted locally. i can't stand people who don't try and learn a cuisine and just look up random singular internet recipes by people who have no idea what they're doing or how to pair ingredients

Halifax Doner?

For food: no particular dish, but I am a snob about balance of seasoning, spices and salt.

For drinks: Gin & Tonic should always be served with long lemon peels that have been rubbed against the inside of the glass. Whiskey sours, Manhattans and Old Fashioneds must be properly balanced for sweetness.

Golden needle tea done in a gaiwan is the best tea I have ever had.

Actually this. Gordons or Beefeater with Schweppes is hell. Even more so without some lemon or lime.
