Which cooking meme you hate the most?
For me it has to be pasta "al dente", who the fucks would prefer a chewing gum hard pasta over soft and delicious pasta?
Makes my blood boil when I go to a restaurant and they give me hard pasta to eat.
Oh and also "molecular gastronomy", just KYS
Molecular gastronomy is cool as fuck imo. At least it's a new school for making, plating and eating food. I'd agree that it's pretentious and currently overly expensive, but I think it's fucking NEAT.
I'll agree with you on al dente though. I firmly believe it only became a thing because idiots didn't know when to pull their pasta.
I hate people who use the term 'meme' in the wrong context.
Retard.
I like the texture of dente pasta, and since I have teeth I have no issues with chewing my food. I actually think the slight firmness helps with maintaining the sauce on the pasta so it's not sloughing off due to being bloated from the boiling.
Couldn't you have picked a worse foodie trend? Like foam?
You're a real idiot, OP.
authentic italian here, the problem is not pasta "al dente" but retarded foreigners that don't know what "al dente" is and just serve you raw pasta
to make pasta "al dente" you have to take it out at that perfect moment right after it is still hard and right before it starts becoming soggy
Mindless ketchup hate.
Preferring hot or bitter notes in food is an acquired taste. But liking acidic food could be anatomically conditioned. What if my weak stomach requires it? What if my blood buffering works like shit and I have headaches if not having something acidic with my heavy dinner food? (as a reference this thing could be found in healthy humans too after some heavy running - too much oxygen - blood is too alkaline - headache).

Yeah it's a healthy fat and guacamole is good. That doesn't mean it needs to be put on everything.

I'm sure there are more.
Do you notice that this shit is exactly the same as SISSY DIET for fetishistic faggots who wanna become trans because they can't get laid because they are raised to be weak yes man cocksuckers?
I'm not saying it's jews, but come on, the picture paints itself here.
Watch out for your daily dose of sodium
Cause you seem to be very salty
Telling the truth like it is != being mad. Go fuck your ass and suck some dick, corporal cockswallower.
Pasta sauce slides off the pasta if you add olive oil into the water to prevent the pasta from sticking to itself.
al dente pasta just means the pasta has been dried. Fresh pasta is best.
Yes I have noticed that. I agree with you 100%.
Thats not what it means fag
Skidmarks on the plate. Please stopppp forever! Putting food in a wide-rimmed bowl and then dusting the rim with ultra-tiny chopped parsley
REEEEEEEEE!
Faggots claiming flipping steaks/burgers and whatever more than once will ruin it.
Try to make al dente pasta with fresh pasta. You can't because you can only cook dried pasta al dente.
You might be telling the truth it is still obvious you are mad as hell, so you might be both, telling the truth whilst having a massive amount of sand in your teenage angst vagina
That's not true fag
You can cook fresh pasta al dente
If done properly, fresh pasta is already too soft. Boiling it in water won't make it any harder.
You obviously don't know anything about pasta
>t. someone with a kitchaid pasta maker attachment
I have never cooked a pasta that was sticky, what kind of meme is "sticky pasta"?
Fucking americans, can't cook anything properly because it's processed shit from a bag.
It's okay to admit you're wrong friend. You don't understand pasta but I won't hold it against you
>t. someone who makes his fresh pasta harder than a stick of gum
How do you do it?
Why is your pasta already too soft? It's supposed to feel like a bit harder than play doh and you only cook it like 30 seconds. It's perfect. Al dente doesn't mean hard...
bread floor-made pasta, sticky wobbly and all kinds of cheap shitty. Because gluten is bad amirite?
You do know that not everything you dislike is sponsored by some corporation, right? You sound mad because your doctor told you to eat vegetables to correct your vitamin deficiencies and help your obesity problem.
Living in fucking Narnia isn't so bad after all.
At least I can cook with cheap fresh ingredients.
Short list of food things I hate:
1. Chicken (or turkey) breast as default protein in everything. This is bullshit that does nothing to improve the taste of food.
2. Superfoods. The idea that you can continue to eat a shit diet but manage to be healthy because you incorporate a couple magical ingredients is absurd. I think it's great to eat a variety of foods, especially those that are nutritionally dense but no food is a magic bullet against a shit diet.
3. Middle aged women deciding gluten is the source of all evil. I sort of get it. You're chunkier and less attractive than you used to be, your life didn't turn out as exciting as you'd hoped and you suddenly have aches and pains that you didn't have as a younger woman. Getting old is an indignity. And yeah, you probably eat too much bread, cake and pasta. But that belly hanging over your retro-bush is probably more sugar's fault than gluten's. And inactivity. If you don't want the ass to sag get up off of it.
4. Infantilized foods. I'm all for people eating whatever they like, but when did the kid's menu become the default choice? I don't want mac and cheese, I don't want fries with that and I don't want sweet sauces. It would be nice to have some recognizable vegetable matter along with something that tastes a little more complex than fat, salt and sugar.
I usually use lemon juice, vinegar or wine when a dish needs acidity.
If you're trying to add a little something to your cooking repertoire and expand your horizons a bit, then yeah, MG is okay. Problem is 99% of people who do it are attention whores who are trying to hard to look cool.
Also, don't get mad at other people just because you can't cook pasta properly.
It sticks of you don't stir while cooking.
O B S E S S E D
I'm not mad, and I can cook pasta properly. I just said some people are idiots, which doesn't mean I give a fuck about them.
I prefer pasta """al dente""" because, if the dish is served hot like it should be, the noodles will continue to cook in their own steam while on your plate, and you don't end up with a mushy mess at the end of your meal. Soggy noodles is nasty.
Hated kitchen meme:
> """""gourmet""""" presentation, like OP's pic
> ""deconstructed"" whatever-it-is
>Which cooking meme you hate the most?
Servers.
Fucking retard.
You're the first one to mention anything about America, friendo.
I like it. It's weird but it's almost like subjective right?
...
Serving food on wooden boards
Food advertised as sous-vide or a certain temperature (most restaurants already do low-key sous-vide but if they make it a selling point then it's a huge red flag)
Sous-vide at home
Coffee
Kale shakes
Quinoa and other overpriced grains that aren't beans, lentils, or rice
Cast-iron cookware
Coconut oil
Porcelain anything
its a meme bro
The OP implied America when he had some retarded idea of what 'al dente' meant.
>Sriracha
>It's just sugar, chilies and garlic. Woopty shit
It has it's place. It's a really easy way for college students to add "heat" to non-Mexican cuisine without making it taste like tacos. For example, you can put it on pizza in place of chili flakes to add some generic spiciness. Or you can put it in instant ramen along with some soy sauce to just make the shit go down easier.
> vegeterarianism
> veganism
> superfoods
Add paleo-anything to the list.
Do not confuse madness with passion. I have PASSION. Ass loads of it.
Great butthurt mindless sheep-fag. Go chew on some greens.
Not an argument.
Could swear I wrote it haha.
I just posted this to another thread, but this is the place I have in mind:
With gluten at least it's like some people legitimately get fucked up eating it. With veggie-mania it's literally straight up harmful for everybody.
There is a lot of snake oil and mythology surrounding gluten in modern society. I think most people who eat gluten free are not actually allergic and are just doing it because it's the next health food craze.
Where do you think you are
Damn we would not get along. I love my Souls Vide Water bath. I like that I can get a beautiful steaming heated up while I watch a movie or play video games.
> 10 g of protein per kg of mass for bodybuilding
>exactly the same as SISSY DIET
I'm so sorry your parents dropped you as infants, anons.
Sure.
Well if you wanna be rigorous about it, the protein part is only relevant in bodybuilding circles, so it's not strictly part of the mainstream food religion.
Trust me I'm healthier not only than 99% of this board, I'm healthier than 99% of ameripigs.
Wanna know the secret? Ignore every single fucking bit of information pushed on you by anything or anybody. 100% of it is bullshit.
>Trust me I'm healthier not only than 99% of this board, I'm healthier than 99% of ameripigs
Prove it, bitch
>pasta al dente is bad
You should stick to your big macs and not comment on patrician foods anymore you amerifat pleb
Everyone who doesnt understand pasta al dente is a subhuman who should kill himself to save us the trouble of finding and slaughtering them.
"The recipe say to do it like that, you cant change it" is probably the thing i hate most, dunno if a meme (aldente excluded)
OK.
"Tapas" - When a place has an advert for "tapas," but then you get in there and it's all this pseudo haute cuisine small- plates shit that ends up costing more than a whole meal. That's not tapas. Tapas, for the most part, are small inexpensive appetizer like foods meant to be eaten while you're drinking. Usually served from a small buffet-style service at the bar. $4 for a plate with six or seven different things vs. four shrimp wrapped in jalapeño-infused bacon with a tequila glaze for $16 served by hipsters to hipsters and nouveau-rich douchebags explaining to each other how tapas are a staple of Mexican cuisine. (They're Spanish you fucking ass clowns!)
Trolling this hard.
>this entire post
my sides
...
i agree completely
This is common knowledge for people who make pasta; too much "food network" shit being spouted as truths.
I'd show you my ultra healthy dicker, but this is a bluboard.
