Ermahgerd

>>6313763
Yup, that came out good

>>6313765
Different angle. I make my mashed very, very nonstandard, with sour cream & mayonnaise instead of butter & heavy cream or buttermilk, toss in some shredded cheese (I like Kerrygold, gouda, parmesan and the like), salt, pepper and a wee bit of relish.

I tossed in some dried herbs (parsley, sage, tarragon) on the vegetables along with the squeeze of lemon

>>6313717
well?

>>6313857
;_; i've chased my only fan away.

I'd eat it.

>>6313976

I don't want you if you want me, it ruins my desire for unrequited love

>>6313857
Looks quite tasty.I hope the gravy turned out okay, it really makes the meal.

>>6313749

how many jew's where killed in there you fucking monster?

>>6313765

Why in the fuck is the one food touching the other food that's touching all the other GD food?

>>6313773

I can't even comment on the shit you just said there, or else I would have to pervertedly come at you like you dropped the soap in the shower. Hence, lets start with your plating. You have one magic three going on but it completely fucked up, yes there are three distinct muddy elements of your dish that are present. where if fails is in the execution, portion size, height, finesses and detail. First, you plate like hungry man frozen dinners....stop that shit. second, your portions are way too big. third, no garnishes. forth, never go full rim. fifth, don't pool your sauce. sixth, if your going to put it on the plate, ask yourself if it belongs. seventh, don't just slop shit on. eighth, sauce should unify the elements not sit on them like pools of double bypass surgery.

sorry I'm getting tired and angry but I could go to at least a hundred on this plate.

>>6313707
wear it as a scarf

Autism, the plating edition

>>6314084

Not OP here. However, please go on. I've never actually stopped to think about plating before and you're laying it all out pretty nicely.

>not smoking it

no but it looks really good OP pork loin is ace m8

>>6314084
You care way too much about presentation. Stop being a pretentious faggot. You aren't no 5 star goddamn chef and anon isn't either. You literally have to be the biggest faggot in the world complaining about his presentation.

Also who the fuck are you to tell him his portion sizes are wrong? Are you his diet coach or some shit? Go kill yourself you goddamn fucking cu/ck/old.

tl;dr nobody fucking cares

>>6314084
I'm not sure what would be worse;

if you were a wannabe amateur who knows not what he speaks,

or a burnt out linecook who's lost his love of food, focusing on the technical aspects of what never was a technical endeavor.

super non-traditional.

>>6313749
holy shit that oven is straight out of auschwitz

>>6313765
looks good anon

>>6314462
Not that faggot, but seriously? non-traditional doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. You can't replace heavy cream with balsamic vinegar and butter with applesauce. Still, you have to admit no one makes mashed potatoes with sour cream and mayo but that asshole. OP, btw, your mashed potatoes recipe is retarded.

>>6313765
>>6313773
this plate looks perfectly fine for a grown up man at home. would definetly eat that (except I'm going to make some burgers right now)

if we would place ourselves into anon's restaurant >>6314084 then yes, he's bitchy but he's right. plate is overloaded, sauce pooled and the aesthetic is completely absent.

good thing you are not a chef and don't have to care about that shit ^^

>>6314494
You missed my point. Sour cream and cheese go into mashed potatoes all the time.

Mayo is basically acidic butter.

It's not non-traditional in the slightest, hence the sarcasm.

>>6314640
i'm not sure it's fair to mention criticisms if you have to qualify it with "but it doesn't apply here"

OP here,
>>6314066
>>6314486
That oven is easily older than any 2 anons on this thread. Definitely from at least the 60s, maybe 50s.

Also, I'm jewish (non-practicing. pork ldo), so fuck you both.

>>6314061
Wasn't bad. I think it was a decent compliment to everything.

>>6314073
lol

>>6314084
how fucking drunk/high were you when you typed this? I can't even decipher what half the shit you're talking about means, like
>if your going to put it on the plate, ask yourself if it belongs
u wot m8?
seriously, point by point. 1) how should i plate that? vertically? there's basically one way to plate that amount of food on that dish. 2) that's a ~1200 calorie meal. As all I'd had to eat yesterday before that was a sandwich and a beer, a nice-sized dinner was perfect. 3) dude, i'm fucking cooking for myself. I don't need to add superfluous visual presentations. 4) da fuq? 5) it's gravy, not sauce. is it supposed to spill everywhere and sit on the bottom of the plate? 6) ??????? 7) it was plated with care, actually. All in thirds, as mentioned 8) it's GRAVY, not a sauce. I don't want my vegetation on that dish to have a bunch of gravy all over it, they deserved separate space.

Seriously, what the fuck did you imbibe to think any of this.

>>6314323
>>6314455
>>6314640
aye

>>6314669
Do they? Cheese, sure, but I've never met anyone who uses sour cream. and like... mayo is olive oil, egg, lemon juice/vinegar. Butter is none of that. Most people react like >>6314494

>>6313773
Pork looks delicious, but that mash sounds disgusting.

Also maybe I just don't like that much oil, but I would have steamed the vegetables or roasted them instead of sautéing

>>6315154
Steam is shit tier (seriously, steamed onions?). Roasted onions aren't anything to write home about, either.

>>6314756
I do sorta get what platefag means. Starch shouldn't be on top of protein. Also that is an awful lot of food, unless the plate is small, or you're taking a doggie bag to the fridge.

>>6315186
I added up everything in myfitnesspal. It's about 1200 calories, with a little too much sodium, little heavy on the fat, but well under my daily carb and sugar. Added that with what I had for lunch and it's a decent, if slightly large meal.

Who said leftovers had to suck? Some fried rice w/onions, peppers and spinach. Green sauce is a cardamom chutney from the local Indian market
