What do you consider culinary sins? - No goyslop sperging

Like fifty types for overly perfumed petals and not a single ‘builders tea.’ Like black tea with milk. I just want a cup of tea, and they tease tea but none of it is tea.
That's also an atrocity. It's like those places that have tea, but it's all shit with weird additives like citric acid and stevia. Fuck that shit.
 
Pasta sauce out of a jar. Just buy tinned tomatoes and make your own with fresh ingredients. The jarred shit always tastes like preservatives and AIDS. Takes very little time to use up fresh shit out of the fridge and the alternative is boiling pasta just to ruin it with overpriced ketchup.

I know, i know...if you're just a 19yr old student eating pasta and red sauce because you just want seasoned carbs so what... but I'm baffled by the sheer range of shitty sauces on the supermarket shelf. Seems like such a pointless product.
 
Cream in carbonara. I cut back on my carbonara autism by a lot but this still gets my goat.

How i felt the first time a friend of mine dragged me to a fancy Starbucks knock-off café (to this day i never set foot in a real Starbucks) and i just wanted a normal filter coffee. "Oh, americano?", no bitch, coffee!
 
Putting a cast iron skillet in the dishwasher.
Practically forcing someone into a domestic violence situation.
Cheese on any sort of fish outside of very specific instances. (Crab Rangoons is one.)
Tuna Melt is the other one.
Peas on top of fries
Abomination. People, and i use that term very loosely here, do that?
Any combination of lettuce and hot food.

"mmm yummy, its so slimy and wilted and tastes like pond water, this is bringing a nice contrast to my burger"
Lettuce belongs on a burger, end off. Toss the slice of tomato but lettuce belongs. The fuck kind of lettuce you buying that tastes like pond water? To not have a slimy, wilted mess on your burger you use a salad spinner in preparation
like a civilized human being.
The jarred shit always tastes like preservatives and AIDS
The experience i had eating at friends houses was it's tasting like nothing but oregano. No matter which jarred sauce.
 
All of you are lying to yourselves about how long it takes for heat to turn lettuce into inedible garbage, unless you are inhaling your food, by the time you're halfway across the burger it's not a crisp and clean and bright substantial contrast, IT BECOMES GOO, like eating moss with a bit of a bite to it. At least cabbage tastes good and has a firm texture when when it's cooked.

Even put spinach on your burger, there is a whole world of edible leaves you can use instead of (((iceberg))) lettuce.

tax/further invitation to suffering:
any time i see someone use metal instruments used on coated nonstick i feel like going up to them, taking the pan from them, dumping the food out, and then violently scrape off the coating in front of them with a combination of a fork and spatula while maintaining eye contact, then i would cook eggs on the pan and ask if they would like eggs and also if they could clean that pan for me
 
Not tasting your food. If it taste bad you should not serve it but the only way to know is to taste it. Also if it's subpar you can always improve it with salt, acidity , spiciness, tart etc.

Depend on the dish
If garlic is the star of the show crushing it gives it more taste.

Mhhh yummy yellow plastic....

I wash my bleach with Chicken.

Imagine this:

Pickled potatoes and tomatoes
you boil the potato slightly
then fry them in beef fat twice
make ketchup with the tomatoes


Fluffy and crispy , nice beef flavor and tang from the pickling.

Not saying you're wrong most "gourmet" fast food is a scam but French fries can be heavenly.
Duck fries are good as fuck.
 
Using olive oil for cooking. It's smoke point is too low for most cooking, just use some lard or avocado oil for cooking. Use olive oil for finishing your dishes if you want that flavor.

Only owning teflon pans. They should only be used for eggs, everything else can be cooked in stainless, carbon steel, or cast iron. If your teflon pans start flaking, toss it and spend 20 bucks on a new pan.

Aren't there specific types of olive oils for cooking that have higher smoke points? I mean, you probably couldn't deep fry stuff using it, but you'd be able to do normal cooking stuff like stir fry.

But I do agree with regular olive oil, since it has a rancid smell and taste if you heat use it for cooking.
 
  1. Not washing fruits/vegetables/fungi with luke warm water before you use them.

Not rinsing your rice.
I knew a certain someone who just refused to wash his rice, fruit, vegetables, anything. I wasn't fully aware he was this much of a dipshit moron and ate his cooking, once. Big mistake and it made me sick as a dog. To the surprise of NOBODY he was perpetually ill at least once or twice every month (also lolfat)

Non rice eaters will try and argue not to wash rice because you're "rinsing out the minerals" but it really is full of fucking dirt from every conveyor and surface they've traveled on. For the love of God wash your rice.

Looking now, there are some refined olive oils that claim 400*+. So that would beat out lard and some other 'common' oils. I'll pick some of it up next time I go to the store and give it a go. Maybe I just have bad memories of trying to use regular olive oil and getting poor results.

I doubt it'll beat out lard in flavor, but could be handy in the kitchen as I'm about to run out of avocado oil.
