/ck/ - Food & Cooking

[Anonymous No.3825469]

Why do people start such shit threads on /ck/?

I mean look at this fucktard as an example:
>>3825015
He literally posts a dry wrap with a slice of turkey deli meat, prepackaged hummus, cheddar (doesn't even go), a little bit of corn from a can, and 3 baby spinach leaves, then tells everybody:

Herp derp this is what i am eating herp derp. Wot u eating?

I mean, you have to be a complete idiot to do that and a complete loser.
This loser actually supports him:
>>3825453

Let's be clear:
That thread started by that OP does not belong in /ck/
1. It is not cooking. Nothing "cooked" there.
2. It is prepackaged shit.
3. It is something my 5 year old can make and of no instructional value whatsoever.
4. Talking about what you are eating belongs in /soc/ since what you are really doing is socializing. I mean fuck, if you are going to talk about such a non-event like what you are eating, why not just talk about the weather, or what color socks you decided to put on today.

Again, these type of posts on /ck/ (I am eating _____) ruin this board. It never used to be like this with all you immature kids coming on here with cheezwhiz and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and ramen noodles and all this other garbage.

NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU ARE EATING OR WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW. POST THAT SHIT ON FACEBOOK!

i think you're full of shit, man. none of what you say holds any water. this board isn't called "cooking", it is called "food and cooking". some of us just like to discuss food and don't give two shits about cooking, man. take your elitist shite elsewhere. /ck/ is slow enough already, if there were no general food threads and only cooking threads then this place would be slower than /trv/.

so fuck off mate, food comes first and then cooking. also, this is fucking 4chan. if you don't wanna see shitty dinners and hear about fast food and ramen then i'd suggest you join a legit cooking board. i mean, how serious do you expect a fucking 4chan food board to be? sheesh.

Actually, the board is called "Food & Cooking", not "Food. Period." It's "Food & Cooking" because you cook food. If the board were labelled "Cooking" it might have a completely different meaning, especially for all the meth heads.

The "Food" part was only added later to avoid ambiguity. When this board was created, that was clearly explained newfag.

I agree that if you are just posting a pic of your lunch or something you got from a drive-thru window, then you are just attempting to socialize and belong in /soc/.

There's not one thing elitist about that jackass. It's just putting things in the proper place. /soc/ often has threads about what people are eating. There's also /adv/ if you want advice on where to find a good burger, or /r/ if you need general advice.

I've also been here long enough to remember how many meth heds and other druggies would come here and post recipes for their cooking. The "food" part was only added because of this.

Woah, there! I'm so sorry I messed up your perfect board about mature foods for mature audiences. I didn't realize 4chan was the place for pure professionals to discuss advanced cooking techniques and quality ingredients.

...or you could maybe consider what some of us are trying to do. Like EXPAND our cooking horizons? And rather than start with something complex, maybe we'd like to get meat loaf down first?

Or can I not talk about other places that make food, whether or not it comes from Ruth's Chris or McDonalds? I'm pretty sure McDonalds makes food too (albeit shitty food.)

You're delusional. This board has never consistently had anything approaching "quality."

Anyone with the brains/talent/motivation to share anything beyond microwave brownies only has to make the mistake of posting here once. Then they never bother again...with the exception of attention (closet) whores like progun and sceak.

Take a math class or take class in personal financing maybe, or just ask your dad about budgeting and what to do with your allowance instead of buying candy and porn, then maybe you'll have a few bucks left over to buy some decent ingredients and go into the kitchen and actually COOK.

Btw, I note you are using the internet right now (>$50/month), using a computer (probably >$1,000), and seem to have lots of free time on your hands to post itt (you could get a job, but that would mean you'd actually have to get out of the basement or leave your dorm room and then you might encounter a girl or something, and that would be horrible).

oh, and your little theory about my marital status is laughable. my wife lives with me and she does the same shit i do when it comes to cooking.

yeah, i'll admit that sometimes i like to spice things up a bit and make a really well thought out meal with all the trimmings and fixings, but not all the time.

[Anonymous No.3825721]

For all the newfags:
/ck/ was created February 12, 2008 and was called cooking. It was created out of demand by cooks posting in other boards and those in other boards not wanting their board clogged up with something that was off topic. Yes, there was more traffic then. Yes, there were cooks coming on then. Yes, it was better then.

The "Food" part is only in reference to "Cooking". Hence, it is called, first and foremost /ck/--not /fc/. Did you get that?

Ok, so if you want your own board to discuss your bologna sandwiches or your favorite donut at dunkin donuts or whatever, you should get enough of you and petition just like the cooks did. But I have to tell you that there are multiple other boards where people discuss what they are eating: /soc/, /adv/, and /r/ just to name a few.

Kindly stop degrading this board with your threads about essentially nothing related to cooking.

OP here. I agree with you. I am more bothered by the flood of fast food stuff too. However, that topic has been covered and covered and covered. I personally believe that some fast food chains have people coming here to create hype. That's not what 4chan was ever intended for.

While your point is well taken (and has been covered more than a few times), how do you not just completely dismiss mine, but instead throw out a "shame on you"? You apparently didn't even take the time to digest my point and instead took the trolls nonsense posts to be the flavor of what was intended. My intent was clear. It is to point out that creating threads about nothing having to do with "cooking" is the problem. This encompasses the fast food threads AND those threads that have nothing about "cooking" in them other than to say "here is what I am eating". Precisely what does "here is what I am eating" have to do with cooking when the op never even says how it was prepared, why, etc. In fact, it's not even cooking at all. It's just "here is what I am eating".

So for you to suggest this thread was intended to discourage even novice cooks or discourage simple prep from simple ingredients, you are dead wrong. But three threads a day about taking a bag of Ramen noodles and a packet of salt and asking /ck/ what to do with it simply cannot be a request for help. It is just trolling and that's the part you don't seem to understand and it degrades the entire board to the lowest common poster just like it did chasing out the master chef who created a thread here last night.

You must have weird hours. You are way off base in my experience here.
I also didn't read op's op as being directed to anything other than a generalization. He clearly said "as an example" when pointing to another thread and could've pointed to 20 other threads that were here at that time. It was just one example (and maybe not the best one) but you missed the whole point I think he was trying to make. His pic had a tv dinner (not cooked), he itemized the number "1" problem as "not cooking" and "nothing cooked there" then pointed out that if you are going to do this in a cooking board, maybe you should consider that you might be in the wrong place.

I too am sick of the "here's what I'm eating right now" threads and the "fast food" threads.

If you're not, or if (worse) your one of those that likes it, that's fine and I respect that even though with the latter group I agree they are just trolling and bringing down the entire board. However, to bash op is to kill the messenger and ignore the message and that makes you ignorant. Most who have bashed him clearly haven't read what has been posted in this thread.

It has always been clear that /ck/ is for cooking. Taking issue with the many, many threads on /ck/ that have nothing to do with cooking hardly makes someone a bad guy or a thread worthy of other than respect. The truth is that most of what op has pointed out is how bad things have gotten.

most of the boards have the letters that precisely match the title of the boards
here, /ck/ is unambiguously for "cooking" hence no "f" in it
the "food" part was explained in the thread at least a couple times earlier and I will not repost that again because if you are unable to read or comprehend it there you are unlikely to be able to read or comprehend it here
the exceptions to where a board does not have letters that match the title of the board evolved for historical or programming reasons, but then being an obnoxious newfag (which I draw from the tone of your post), you wouldn't know that so I'll take the time to enlighten you with just one example:
