/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I can never figure out how you're even supposed to eat things like that

>>17976563
Most of the time I can’t even identify half of the ingredients of the dish so you got me beat

>>17976550
You're right OP that's why I eat exclusively at Applebees™

>>17976550
Why do you care? It's not your money.

>>17976563
Half of the fun is destroying it with a fork and knife. You grab a bit of everythingnin your first bite and try the individual components after or mix and match to your liking.

>>17976550
yeah restaurants are about getting served more than the food. You want to eat go to a dinner that just fills the plate

>>17976550
5 or especially 7 course meals demand smaller portions anyways.

>>17976563
That's literally me.
>>17976816
>...That'll be $169 sir.

>>17976550
yeah you tell em OP

this is proper presentation

There was a trend of people shitting on high end dining
But why. What would high end dining look like in an alternate world?
If you don't consider the presentation what do you do to elevate the meal?
Are they so low IQ they think the singular dishes consisting of couple bites are all there is to the entire meal?

Theres some articles about bad restaurant experiences but they're elaborate and explain the delays in bring in food, the presentation gets too abstract or weird, there really is too little food overall.

>>17977592
Would look better if the mash was pie and the sausages eels.

>>17976550
There's usually many courses on such meals and in the end you get filled up
They charge so much for the entire "experience" and "atmosphere" of the restaurant, not just the food

>>17977570
You sound stupider than someone who tries to put 10 pounds of monkey shit in a 5 pound bag.

>>17978209
A bag that weighs five pounds should be able to hold way more than ten pounds of anything.

>>17978216
Prove you aren't a bot.

>>17978250
1+1=3

>>17976563
With your mouth

lmao i went to a gordon ramsay restaurant while he was there for service, got a tiny little thing like this, ate it in one mouthful, he saw and gave me a "what the absolute fuck" look.

fella needs a manual on how to eat for his guests

>>17978216
Frankly this.

>>17977592
Corrrr blimey mate

>>17976563
You ask for the chef for personal feedback, slam that shit into their face and demand real food.

>>17976550
enjoying things looking nice is autistic? eating at a high-end restaurant is a multisensory experience. if youre not into that thats fine, enjoy your local diners/bbq joints etc if you just want simple and filling food.

>>17978386

>>17978386
They used to come with show/dance and music for the multi-sensory part, but since autists can't focus on more than one thing at a time they needed to condense it all onto one plate.
So yes, fancy garbage "art" meals are autistic.

Also what on ops pic looks nice? because to me it looks retarded, borderline offensive even.

>>17978391
>no you cant just like things you have to be miserable about everything

>>17976550
What's the difference between a villain and a supervillain?

>>17978386
I've been to places like this, the only thing you sense is the hole in your wallet

>>17979220
I don't know, I didn't spend a lot of time in shool.

>>17976550
they charge $40 for this and it's one fucking bite to eat it all in one mouthful
pseudointellectual pretencious faggots

>>17976550
If you order the tasting menu which has 15 of these things should you just eat each course in one bite? Or would it just annoy the chef who'd have to speed up?

>>17979220
PRESENTATION!

>>17977594
>If you don't consider the presentation what do you do to elevate the meal?
I want the flavor to blow my dick off
I want the dish to better than anything I could make myself
I want to not have to eat for 18 hours
I want the food to be what I'm paying for

>>17976550
I agree with OP, the cook should just blend my meals thogether and dump the slop into a trough for me to eat out of instead. It's much more efficient and ensures I don't have to pretend to be cultured in any way. Because really, there's absolutely no way to nicely plate a large amount of food.

>>17979220
Presentation!

Theres an upper boundary what your tongue can detect and the hormonal response your brain can receive. A child eating a hamburger has a bigger response than you eating anything fancy. What you get is every bite being really food, consistent, surprising, unfamiliar, comprehensive in its design that the flavors and textures work together. But it cant be heroin.

Almost all restaurants make better food than what you could make yourself. Thats not special.

Again the amount of calories the food provides is irrelevant completely.

I dont understand what you're paying for.

This is REAL culinary arts

>>17981064
Thats enough meat that its prob just a 3 part meal.
Its low on the culinary scale, eating 20 bites of meat isn't that entertaining.

>>17976815
Retards paying for retard things means there's less sensible and good products out there as the restaurants and businesses will see they don't need to put in any effort

Or in this case, they'll learn they can easily scam fools out of their money if they dress it up.
