>The term is dumb. Why call it kosher?
It's idiomatic, like "glove box". Nobody in the US hears "kosher salt" and thinks it's some weird Jewish thing, because it isn't.
>Wrong on all levels. The babby language name, the non sensical usage of a spray can, ...
It's usefully for greasing baking pans. Not sure how "cooking spray" is a baby name.
>Brainlet versions of a measuring something. Just weight it, I don't even care about metric vs imperial
Why would you fill a cup with water and then weigh it when there's already lines on the side of the cup telling you how much is in it?
>Hardly any cooking involved. You are not Walter White
People always say this like it's an argument. Like, are you also going to criticize Americans for driving cars to work because there's "hardly any walking involved"? That doesn't make any sense. And if sous vide was so effortless you'd see a lot more people using it, but 90% of people who buy one use it twice and stick it on a shelf to collect dust. It's also French...
>not made out of tin
Used to be. it's another idiom like glove box.
>Half and of of what? Do americans put cream into their coffee?
Yes, people put dairy products in coffee, and you can easily google what half and half is.
>Wont even explain this one

As long as you take the time to learn the entire system. For example, if you're going to measure mass in pounds, you should also know stone, quarters and hundredweights. Otherwise you would have no intermediate units between pounds and tons, which would just be silly.

When non-Americans think Americans are making things overly complicated by using Imperial, that's exactly the same way Americans feel when bongs say shit like, "not using stones would be silly". It just feels like an unnecessary step if you already think of everything in pounds.

It has lots of uses, but heating it up to make a single grilled cheese is stupid. All the cooking in that movie was stupid. Nonetheless, the name "grilled cheese" comes from diner type places, where a short order cook has 30 different things cooking on a flat top at any given time. That's also where "smashburgers" come from; he would smash the patty to make it cook as quickly as possible to because you want to move food as fast as you can because there's only so much space on the grill.

>cooking spray
I do, in fact, use cooking spray but, funnily enough, not quite for cooking. I use butter flavoured spray on airpopped popcorn to give it dat flavocol taste (and it helps the salt stick to it, too) and neutral flavoured/unflavoured spray when I'm adding other seasonings (tomato stock powder makes for delicious fucking popcorn as does tamarind stock powder).

>cups
What's wrong with cups? Do you drink from glasses exclusively? I can't since I've got a six year old so we've gotta use cups. At least for now.
If you mean the measurement, my homecountry uses them, too, but they're slightly different. Our cup is 250ml, compared to the US cup which is 236ml or so iinm. We also use "coffee cup" as a measurement, which is 1dl/100ml.

>half and half
I'm not from this country so it's a bit foreign to me but I do buy half and half since I've found another purpose for it besides coffee and it's cheaper than mixing milk with cream myself. I mix it 1:1 by weight with fruit (and sugar to taste) then blitz it smooth. Thereafter, the mixture gets churned into ice cream. As said, we otherwise don't use the stuff and since it goes towards making ice cream, I only buy it in the warmer months, although I do keep small pots of half and half for guests if they're the sort that like it in their coffee or tea.

>sunny side up
Bullseye eggs where I'm from but I like this Englishism.

Chili often contains beans, yes. Virtually nobody in the US actually cares about beans in chili. It's even more of a fake controversy than pineapple on pizza, and Hawaiian pizza is like the 3rd most popular pizza.

Sous vide are two french words. Which we do not use for that type of cooking, strangely. We just say Bain Marie.

The general lack of knowledge about what sous vide actually is is funny. Most people call an immersion circulator a "sous vide", and then say you don't really need a vacuum sealer and it's kind of just an additional accessory if you have extra money.

Yes, that’s the point. It always seems like an extra step to use measurements you don’t employ in your daily life. But at the end of the day they’re all arbitrary, but also standardized, so we can all easily convert shit if we need to and it’s really nothing more than a minor inconvenience. That’s why bitching about imperial vs. metric is always retarded. You might as well argue that everyone should learn English.

Measurements are the opposite of arbitrary. They are calibrated to the appropriate level of precision you need for a given task. There's a reason you don't buy meat by fractions of a ton or cheese by the nanogram.
I said nothing about metric vs imperial, only that you should learn the whole system, because each has a range of measurements that were invented for good reasons.
