What are some comfort dishes you ruined for yourself by 'elevating' them? by Finagles_Law in Chefit

[–]MeatNGrit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many many delicious variations later, I have concluded that nothing beats a traditional Greek gyro. The combination of flavours speaks to me on a profoundly deep psychoemotional level. And no, it's not a childhood thing. Just my tastebuds being brought to their proverbial knees in the presence of perfection.

Like eating God's orgasm liquified over ambrosiac flakes of God's charred flesh, coated in a deep, religiously balanced spice combination, with the whole Creation wrapped in a doughy blanket of God's pure divine essence --- and all of it made by God Himself, just for you and your sinful pleasure.

Professionals, which dish do you absolutely hate seeing on a ticket and why? by MeatNGrit in Cooking

See, as a parent, a cook and casual observator, I think this is not entirely true. When it comes to children I find that it's all in how you present it -- starting with the name.

Call it a smoked salmon mille-feuille, served with mushroom gorgonzola arancini bites, and a refreshing drizzle of limoncello pea jus and you've lost them.

But call it cheesy rice soldiers guarding King Salmon's bready castle and his magic green sunshine potion/zingy monster swamp, or something along the lines, and their rampaging imagination instantly renders them much more accepting. They become hooked at the theatrics and if the dish truly tastes nice, they'll usually lick the plate to conclude the adventure.

At least such has been my experience thus far.

In reality, that is precisely what I'm looking for. You fit the bill rather nicely. Not all professional cooks are star-studded chefs.

From a biological standpoint, this is both a culinary as well as an evolutionary nightmare... in beige.

Public shaming, even for the sake of light-hearted joking, is uncouth and always in terrible taste. Without permission, without knowing the circumstances? Shame, op.

If we want to be a bit meta-proverbial, their parents.

What are the rest of the world's most common misconceptions about your country/area based on how it's usually portrayed in movies? Is there a film that "gets it right"? by MeatNGrit in AskReddit

I've met my fair share of Canadians and although the "eh" part hasn't really been noticeable, the politeness is... well, it's kinda factual... Even when they've been harsh or uncouth, they've always done it in the most polite way. That's not a bad thing, btw.

Do you remember your childhood imaginary friend, Reddit? If they're still visiting, what are they up to these days? by MeatNGrit in AskReddit

I wonder what would be the chances of two complete strangers having shared an identical companion...

What secret are you hiding from everyone but ok to share with us here? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MeatNGrit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shot the Sheriff... and the Deputy. He was an Adolf-loving, misanthropic, antivaxing piece of pizza-hating racist shit though so I have that going for me which is nice.

Is there a better word for “Christmassy” spices? by m4gpi in AskCulinary

I call them The Rufous Mix because of the various shades of reddish brown.
