What do you consider culinary sins? - No goyslop sperging

[CallmeCicada]

If someone substitutes lard or tallow for olive oil to make it "healthier" or god forbid "taste better".
The other thing is people holding things on a pedestal for no reason, Italians crying about people snaping spaghetty in half or putting the wrong topping on the poorfag flat bread they call pizza, or mutts getting mad someone puts something on their low quality ground meat burgers.

Of all the things Italians sperg about snapping the spaghetti is the only one with merit, but they make me not care because of how angry they get over it. Same with Asians (especially East Asians) and washing rice, yes you should wash the rice, no you shouldn't get so mad about it, calm the fuck down. When did people go from being happy foreigners are part taking in their culinary culture (even if incorrectly), to indignant and angry if you don't do it 100% correctly, I am Greek, I see people get Greek food wrong all the fucking time, idgaf ,why do so many people act like that.

Also tallow is super delicious with veggies, I use lamb tallow, its really nice. But I don't recommend substitute it entirely for olive oil, I've found just adding some with olive oil gives it a nice taste. Combining oils is very helpful, e.g. adding some oil to something that you want to cook in butter will help keep the butter from burning. Mixing different types of fats is very useful.

Washing rice is a texture preference thing. Rice grains have starch on the outside of them which is why the water looks cloudy when you rinse the rice. That starch makes the rice grains stick together whereas if you rinse it the rice will be looser and fluffier. I normally rinse only once in case there's any dust or other crap on the rice bc it leaves enough to still have some stick but a lot of people say to rinse until the water runs clear.

Same with fries, you just need a little mayo with your fries and in my opinion it's better than dipping fries into ketchup which so sweet that I can't eat more than a few fries with out feeling like I am over dosing on sugar.

Imo the best dipping sauce is mayo mixed with ketchup (ratio varies depending on how tangy you want it)

The fact that horseradish is not a staple condiment anywhere but upscale restaurants and fucking Arby's (and the fact that their 'horsey' is more mayo than horseradish).

That people think it's okay to dip buffalo wings in ranch dressing because they're afraid of bleu cheese. Either raw dog it or order tendies, coward.

That Wendy's is literally the only chain restaurant with decent pickles.

That anyone actually thinks Filet Mignon is good, and typically just because it costs more than other (better) cuts.

The restaurant industry's hyperfixation on absolutely retarded culinary trends like "sriracha on everything" and "cauliflower steaks" (legit had a Sysco rep recommend these to me as an appetizer).

Whatever asshole that invented crabcakes.

Putting milk or cream in your mashed potatos. I hate it. Just put 1 large piece of butter in there and smash the shit out of it, rustic style. It comes out thicker and kind of lumpy but that's how I love it, mum always made it that way and she's Irish. It doesn't even need seasoning if you used enough butter, but you can throw spring onions in there too for some variety. I strongly dislike mashed potatos in the US because it feels more like eating potato flavoured mousse than mashed potato to me.

Ranch dressing on Pizza (or anything)

 

[Tequila Jong]

In some places it’s really traditional to have olive oil and salt toast but some people will do olive oil and sugar instead

 

[Ass to Ass]

Pineapple on pizza. Anchovies on pizza. Olives on pizza. Fried pollock. Mustard that isn't mixed with ketchup. Sesame seeds anywhere except a hamburger bun. Anything blue in color. Ribs that are cooked beyond medium-rare. Porkchops or steak (pork tenderloin, ribeye, sirloin, etc.) cooked on/in anything that isn't a skillet or griddle.

If I catch your ass cooking porkchops in the oven, we're mortal enemies. Same if you put them in a Crock-Pot. Fucking disgusting. Might as well paint the ceiling with your brains if you're that bad at cooking.

A vietnamese guy said to me: "Westerners are fucking retards, even their cheapest rice is so nice it doesn't have to be washed. There are no bugs, dead grains(i.e black, rock hard and will break your teeth) or sand/dust in it". Then he took 2 minutes to show me how to cook perfect rice and I have spread his simple teachings to many others that fears having wet, dry or overcooked rice.

Culinary sin, thankfully extinct: food towers at restaurants. Arranging the dish into a fucking meat&veg obelisk is dumb.

To echo others, overly sweetened coffee based drinks. When I'm trying to wake up and want a cup of coffee to feel a little refreshed, you know what sounds unappealing? Milk thickened with a bunch of gloop made to taste like a Reese's cup.

I don't want a milkshake with coffee in it as a replacement for coffee itself. It goes from being something that stimulates peristalsis to something that puts the toilet out of commission for an hour, taking your pancreas along for the ride. No thank you.

worst thing of all it isn’t even bad . oil and salt is still way more iconic though. and even better than those two is pan tumaca.

Pineapple on pizza. Anchovies on pizza. Olives on pizza

all of that is yummy, especially the last two

Mustard that isn't mixed with ketchup

people do that ?

I love both the original garlic toast and pan tumaca, but I'd never heard of the sugar variant until now. I'm actually going to have to try it because it sounds absolutely horrific. I'm expecting a surprise.

I'd never heard of the sugar variant until now. I'm actually going to have to try it because it sounds absolutely horrific. I'm expecting a surprise.

I had never heard of it either until I was on holidays with a friend having breakfast and after drizzling a little bit of oil on our toasts she went for the sugar and I went for the salt. And she looked at me like I was the crazy one, too

do tell us if it’s yummy when you try it. I thought it was pretty good, but not good enough to switch sides lol.

also talking about actual culinary sins, can any krauts tell me why this anime Soylent degeneracy is being sold on your supermarkets seriously what the fuck

 

[6thRanger]

people do that

Yes, add sweet relish and salt to complete the base, then a dash of either hot sauce, mayo, ranch or white vinegar to get a pretty decent basic sauces for sandwiches and chicken.

Ketchup is a child's condiment.

Ketchup is versatile and has a role in many tasty sauces of all kinds.

A minor one: putting the pepperoni under the cheese on a pepperoni pizza. A local chain where I live does that and my family mocks me for complaining about it. "It all goes to the same place anyway" they say. I'm too polite to ask them if they're stupid or just lack taste buds. It defeats the point of having pepperoni if you're just going to cover it, it's not as crisp!

I don't know that I have any right to judge anyone else's culinary sins, because I am a complete and utter monster in the kitchen. I alternate back and forth between doing things that require a lot of time and effort on a whim, like suddenly deciding that I want to start making my own bread and pasta, and throwing together some of the most goyslop meals that you can possibly imagine. For example, the spaghettios pizza.

So, one day, I grab a slice of pizza from a gas station while I'm filling up, and the sauce on the pizza is really sweet. Not quite to the point of being cloyingly sweet, but getting close, still pretty good though. The thing is, it tasted remarkably like the sauce spaghettios come in, and it gave me the urge to do food crimes. I set about trying to think of how to make a pizza that would encapsulate the experience of being a kid again, just eating a bowl of spaghettios.

So I went out, got some pizza dough, a couple of cans of spaghettios (the ones with meatballs), some mozzerella, some shredded cheddar, and some hot dogs (all beef from a decent brand, I'm not a complete monster). I chopped the hot dogs up into thin slices and seared them, then I rolled out the dough, and put a can of spaghettios down for the sauce. Topped it with mozzerella and hot dogs. Threw it in the oven, then about two minutes before I pulled it out, I opened the oven up and sprinkled some cheddar on so it wouldn't fully melt (like when you're a kid and throw some cheese on top of spaghettios and think you're a culinary genius).

Was actually really fucking tasty.

Hard line culinary sin though, cooking a steak, or really any beef that isn't ground, past medium rare. "Waaahhhh, the cuts too tough, waaaaaahhhh, I'm worried about it making me sick.". Fuck you. Just sous vide it then. Throw that bitch in a bag, throw it in at 131 for 3 hours, throw it on a smoking hot pan for thirty seconds per side.

Those white women "food hacks" against God and nature on Tiktok.

Damn you for reminding it. As bad as the occasional black person food recipe, those are usually indulgent and understandable. If you get a link to a tiktok video and hear a female white voiceover in a kitchen you need to gtfo before seeing some horrific combinations that don't even sound appealing.
