/ck/ - Food & Cooking

[Anonymous No.6143250]

Curiosity....how many people on this board actually cook and eat what they talk about and how many are just fans of food?

[Anonymous No.6143254]

>fans of food

[Anonymous No.6143262]

Most of my posts on this board are questions about what I'm intending to cook or about seeking help on how I could do it better. So yeah, I pretty much always cook and eat what I talk about. But then again I'm a pretty infrequent poster.

[Anonymous No.6143265]

I just come here to look at food while I eat food. You bet your ass that if I'm posting, I'm eating.

[Anonymous No.6143273]

As a German, I usually just come here to see what other people around the world eat.

I do love my selfmade chili con carne and steaks and recently, I've tried pulled pork with some american style coleslaw.

Also ramen naturally, since we're on a weeaboo imageboard.

Currywurst is above it all.

I've never cooked (well, nothing beyond making hamburgers) in my life and have little desire to. I just like reading through this board because people are (comparatively) nice to eachother.

I cook and eat what I talk about. I cook two or three times a day as a homemaker. That's not counting "food projects" like canning, making yogurt, sauerkraut, and jam/jelly.

[Anonymous No.6143384]

very few cook judging by the lack of OC.
Then you have the weeb posting food pics from Japan when the exif data clearly shows they were taken in the USA.

>judging by the lack of OC

Nah, you just can't do that really. I cook pretty much every day (pasta, curries, chili, stews, roasts, steaks and so on) but it's nothing special and I just don't feel like being told my food looks like poo, heh.

/ck/ doesn't even lack OC, it's just swamped by shitheads like all the other boards. plus there's lots of little things that there's no one clear way of doing so if you post a complicated recipe you are guaranteed to get shitheads telling you you shouldn't have salted your egg poaching water or should have used cold milk in your bechamel or whatever, it's infuriating.

[Anonymous No.6143454]

I only come here to shit on Broeys for clogging up the board when I don't even have interest in cooking.

[Anonymous No.6143455]

I suck dick at cooking but I really enjoy it. /ck/ is good for inspiration, ideas, advice, laughs and food porn.


And joey.

Pic related, made this last night. There's a world of things wrong with it, but I made it, so my brain convinced itself it was delicious

[Anonymous No.6143476]

Here are some meals I have cooked recently, I eat out or have meals cooked for me often.

Beef & broccoli stir fry
Turkey & tomato pasta sauce
Chicken & mushrooms
French onion soup
Chicken roast dinner
Chili con carne

Wish I had more recipe ideas, /ck/ is 90% of fast food and those annoying threads where people romanticize alcoholism.

I've been cooking since I was 14. Parents are bad cooks, could never make anything decent. It's gone to the point where they're both just awful in the kitchen because they have me cooking all the time. I love cooking and reading about food.

/ck/ isn't very helpful for people looking for cooking tips though. There's a lot of funny and interesting food-related stuff here but not specifically for improving your cooking skills or getting ideas.

[Anonymous No.6143594]

Dude you can have great food if you want to.
Cooking stuff by yourself is a shitload cheaper than buying already done stuff in the supermarket.

If anything else fails, just get some cheap ground beef, some buns and fresh vegetables and make the burger of your dreams.
You can literally cook superior burgers and still undercut MCD prices.
Also just get a fucking slab of beef and cook it like a steak. It will still taste delicious even if it's not a prime cut. You can get really great beef in Germany for like 6-7 eur/kg if you don't look for prime cuts. I use those for my steaks all the fucking time and they're still great.

Don't trust this guy. You aren't going to make hamburger taste better than McDonalds does.
If you're going to enjoy it more, you're going to enjoy the toppings on it, or you're going to go through the fucking chore of lighting a grill and making one patty, because hamburger literally does not taste good unless you add other stuff to it. This is why nobody orders plain hamburger anything.

Beer marinade good for beef? y/n? also how?

2. what do you think of pulled pork? is it redneck shit?

[Anonymous No.6143641]

>>6143636
Are you fucking retarded? You can make a burger patty that tastes better than McD in like 5 minutes by just mixing fresh ground beef with a bit of salt and pepper and nothing else.

>>6143637
never done a beer marinade. id say try it and see. i wouldn't do that marinade on any nicer cuts of beef.

pulled pork is meme food. but i like it. always delicious. i prefer the more vinegary kinds to the bbq saucy ones.

[Anonymous No.6143661]

>>6143645
I'm coming from a german perspective here and we love to marinade pork with beer, oil, garlic and the usual salt and pepper and then put it into the broiler with some vegetables.
That's why I've been asking. Never tried it?

Beer goes really really good with pork.

I cook and/or bake every single day. And, of course, I eat what I cook/bake. And give it away to others as well. Today, I baked three different kinds of cookies, and am planning on taking a big tray of them up to work tomorrow for everyone to enjoy. I'm also making dinner from scratch, and yesterday I made breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I haven't taken any recent photos of my dishes, though, I just tend to forget. I'm usually on top of that, though. I have a huge file of images of my meals that I've posted before here.

[Anonymous No.6147067]

Originally came here because I frequently starve myself because of brain problems. Then I eventually decided I should probably learn to cook because I have a fear of being a middle aged man eating Hungry Man meals. Now I come because of #1 and to learn more about cooking in general.

[Anonymous No.6147087]

I cook only because I found out how much cheaper it is to make things from scratch than it is to buy it from the freezer isle or from a can. I lurk here for tasty recipes and just to find out about other foods that I have not considered.

[Anonymous No.6147108]

>how many people on this board actually cook and eat what they talk about and how many are just fans of food?

I cook 90% of my food and the food for my three housemates, but I'm just a shitty below midtier stir-fries-pastas-and-curries cook

unemployed, mental health problems, welfare scum of society, poorfag, etc.. at least I'm not a fatass who gets nothing but cream soda and instant mashed potatoes with my fucking foodstamps

still wish I were dead

[Anonymous No.6147111]

>>6147108

Cream soda and mashed potatoes might be good together in some way.

[Anonymous No.6147119]

For breakfast I grab something fast & easy. Maybe some toast or oatmeal or yogurt with some cereal--hardly worth mentioning.

Lunch and dinner I cook from scratch every day except Friday. Sometimes I cook lunches every day, other times I make a big batch over the weekend and then portion it up for during the week. Fridays I take my staff out to eat for a business lunch.

Dinner I cook each and every day.

Only exceptions are special occasions like a holiday, birthday, anniversary, etc.

[Anonymous No.6147129]

I can cook, but half the time I can't feel assed enough to do the work (especially when my roommates decide to be dirtbags and leave the dishes and stove piled with shit.)

[Anonymous No.6147141]

>>6147111
hmm.

if you wanted to give yourself a heart attack you could probably make a crispy potato fritter like pic and caramelize it, but you would just use brown sugar for that

or I guess you could make potato donuts and cover them with caramel sauce. they just taste like normal donuts. but again it's easy as fuck to make caramel sauce even if you don't have a candy thermometer so there's no reason to use cream soda for that either.

[Anonymous No.6147150]

>>6147141

Cream soda sauce on hashbrowns. You'd definitely want to forget the calories and sugar but the taste might be good.

[Anonymous No.6147173]

>>6147150

I guess what I'm getting stuck on is that you could make a tastier caramel sauce with basic ingredients than you can with a cream soda reduction. I guess it comes down to what's possible versus what is optimal.

oh, actually, if you made fried chicken and used potato flakes as the coating for crispiness, then drizzled it with a caramel sauce... it'd still be fucking disgusting, but it's not that much different than maple syrup on chicken and waffles.

[Anonymous No.6147177]

A long time ago, like a couple of years ago - I posted high res photos of food I made and people were just so shitty to me that I never post my own photos on here now. I learned my lesson.

Of course, we could use more OC instead of usual shit threads about fast food favorites or ramen troll posts or weeb name calling threads.

However, when I post questions on here, I get little flack for it but I rarely post here anyway.

I wonder about people like you - this is how I imagine the lives are of the food blogs I go to, where they post amazing recipes that they either came up with themselves or pulled from an expensive book at barnes & nobles. You said you have a job, though, I feel like the people running those blogs are all middle aged married women who don't have jobs. They have time to bake three different kinds of cookies all day though..

[Anonymous No.6147273]

>>6147256

Not that guy but I usually do the same thing and I'm a sous chef. I don't cook if I work for like 12 hours, hell I don't eat anything aside from at work. But otherwise I cook everything from scratch.

Those food bloggers typically don't do anything aside from their blog though.
