Sup cu/ck/s. I'm relatively new to cooking, so I wanted to know what dishes were good for beginners that are both fun to make and not boring as shite to eat. I'm asian so I have easy access to all the spices and vegetables you can think of in that department.

Me too, I call it "going to the shops"
>>8681308
as in i live here. Chinese cabbage is cheaper than regular cabbage and sweet chili sauces cost about 50 cents a bottle. making it easy access. try again whitey.

Christ, dude. He's just trying to inform us about what sorts of ingredients he can reliably get, so we don't tell him shit like tacos or gumbo.
You don't have to be an asshole.
Is Subway considered redneck/blue collar food? A few days ago I heard a hipster talking about it in that way, the same way people like him look down on Tim Hortons. I never really thought about it that way, I thought it was just a decent sandwich shop and that the elitists were more or less down with it.
Every fastfood place is blue collar, doesn't mean you should give a fuck about some hipsters opinion
Delis have a hard time competing with Subway because they give you more value for your money. For that reason any hipster who is friends with a guy who knows a guy who owns a deli will hate Subway and invent a bunch of reasons that it's garbage.
I've always considered it upper-middle class. You need to have a lot of disposable income to eat there.

What do you choose for your sippage? I try to drink water, but sometimes it just tastes bad, so I'll fill up a big sipping cup full of this good stuff
Vodka. Works any time of the day. It's generally a good idea to avoid non-fermented sugars in your drinks.
Drink 1L of this per day if you're an alcoholic. It keeps me stable; it has more electrolytes and vitamins than any other drink I've ever found.

Do you have a personal drinking container? Like a special mug or bottle? Seems like a lot of serious sippers do

So when it comes to tools of the trade, is less more or not? So far I know two chefs that keep tool boxes full of stuff; knives, garnishing stuff, sharks, pliers, etc. But at the same time everyone keeps telling me that if you're good enough you would be able to use a few tools in many different ways.
For now I have two chef knives, a bread knife, a fillet knife, two pairing knives, a peeler, tongs, shark, and a melon baller. I want to get shears and a boning knife but can't decide if it's worth it. So far I am fine but I keep getting shit for not having the "right" knife/tool for the job. Even if I feel I can manage perfectly fine with what I have.
>>8679743
You can usually do the job with a handful of tools, but if you have the RIGHT tool for the job, why wouldn't you use it?
My filet knife went missing at my last restaurant and I haven't picked one up since. I've done an alright job at home without it, but I should really pick one up.
I think it's good practice to start small and buy things as you find you need them. unitaskers are nonsense. Personally for cutting I either use a santoku or a paring knife but I also don't prepare meat.
I have tongs I inherited and I use them specifically for spaghetti. Everything else one could use tongs for I just use wooden chopsticks for (a pair I got from a chinese restaurant), I prefer the extra precision. I have a peeler but I rarely use it. I want to buy a sieve or a strainer and probably a grater. Otherwise I'm pretty good.
Oh yeah I got a food processor from my father for christmas two years ago. That really stepped up my cooking game.
but yeah tl;dr better to have less than more imo, you can always get more as you find you need it.
(Op)
At home...I use what I have but at work it's a different story. For almost a year I have a had chef knife only. About six months ago my first Chef thought it would be a nice gift to get me a knife roll. Since then I have had two more chefs and they are apps led when they see me try and use my chef knife for certain things. Thus I use the other tools but in reality I feel like I could use my chef knife for almost anything. Also, do you think size matters for a chef knife? I'm 5'2 and have two 12in chef knives and my current chef is being really critical of it, but it's all I have ever worked with so I don't mind.

What are some foods I can eat and not get the shits if I no longer have a gallbladder?
>>8678989
I'm no medical expert but surely it would just be foods that don't contain a high level of fats?
>>8678989
hash. Ive heard keto and no carb-hi protein diets can lead to gallstones and eventual removal of the organ. What a curse!
I got my gallbladder removed a few years ago and I've had diarrhea regularly ever since. It doesn't matter what I eat, I haven't had a solid shit in longer than I can remember
Whats the best way to eat crackers
Is it with blue cheese?
I eat ritz with sharp cheddar because real cheese scares me.
Hummus or brie, personally.

Hey /ck/
I'm just gonna shed some light on cooking at high class restaurants through the eyes of my parents
>parents met and both graduated from CIA
>both worked as chefs and eventually made it to Le Bernardin
>3 Michelin stars, prix fixe menus, expensive as fuck caviar, you name it
>Éric Ripert is head chef
>dad is sous chef, has key to caviar safe
>mom is right under sous chef
>both have served VIPs like Mick Jagger and Bill Gates
>hard reality to this job
>hours sucked dick
>went home to a shitty apartment where you could reach the refrigerator from the bed
>the sous chef made enough to live with some niceties
>line cooks made enough to live
>head chef was the only guy who made more than $100k
>in this restaurant, it was millions for Éric, less than $100k for my parents (this is NYC, 100k isn't much)
>both eventually quit and move to the suburban town of anon
>start their own business that manufactures goods to be catered
>started in a corner store
>now has a two floored facility
>mostly all employees are illegal immigrants
>made more money than they ever would being nobody's than if they stayed in Le Bernardin
>pic related
tl;dr don't become a restaurant cook in the city
>>8678843
>>parents met and both graduated from CIA
you're a big guy
>>8678843
>mostly all employees are illegal immigrants
People like your parents are the only reason that illegal immigration is an issue. If dishonest bourgeois fucks would stop exploiting Mexicans for cheap labor, then they'd stop coming here. Fuck you and your parents.
