>accidentally leave ground Chuck out for 7 hours
>make burgers with it anyway
it's a complex kinda feel
Dude, it's ground chuck. It's not expensive.
I would have just played it safe, 7 hours is way too long to be sure of anything.
>>9202519
well look at mr "ground chuck isn't expensive" moneybags here

for day to day use, the metric system is stupid. Americas courageous resistance of the metric system stands as one of the proudest chapters in our history. One of our virtues is our pragmatism and another is being big and rich. When presented with the metric system we were pragmatic enough to see that it is inferior for daily use and big and rich enough to tell everyone else to cram it with walnuts.
Those unfortunate peoples who have embraced the metric system out of pseudo-rationalism, or who were forced to capitulate to it and now want to maintain the illusion of making a rational choice, will say that the metric system is superior for three basic reasons, each of which is bullshit. Lets go through them.

Firstly, the foot as a unit of measurement dates back to ancient Greece. It is not like some guy picked a random body part from a random king and said, let’s measure everything by this guys feet! Otherwise, we might have been stuck with impractical units and wound up having to say someone is 2.1 torsos tall, or yeah, that restaurant is down the road about 8600 KPs (kings penises).
People picked a man’s foot because we are human beings. We use our human bodies to interact with the world. So it makes sense and is practical to use our bodies to measure that interaction.
I’m sure they tried hands, heads, femurs and other things, but the foot stuck because it works well in practice. For example, something that was ten feet high was just beyond a man’s reach (they didn’t have black people back then). If you are six feet tall, you are tall. If you are under five feet tall you are very short. Someone who is a foot taller than the next person is much taller. 100 feet is a tall building or a high ledge and if you fell off you would die.

This the most cited reason for using the metric system is using the base 10 formula. Kilometer is 1000 meters, a kilogram is 1000 grams ect. But everyone seems to fail to realize that you can do the same thing with the imperial system.
Take the kilopound, it's 1000 pounds, a cenipound could be 1/100 of a pound. You've just taken the base 10 advantage of the metric system and applied it to the imperial system with little to no reducation of training.
Also the reason why the conversions of imperial are always 3 feet = yard, 12 inches = 1 feet is because base 3, 4 numbers have more factors than base 10.
Numbers that can divide by base 10
1, 2 ,5, 10
Numbers that can divide by base 12 (12 inches = foot)
1,2,3, 4, 6, 12
Numbers that can divide by base 16 (16 Ounces = 1 Pound)
1, 2, 4, 8, 12
As a result you can divide 12 by 3 or 4 without ending up with decimals or reconverting the whole unit system. This is why it has been used for centuries because it was easier to deal with in everyday life without ending up in tedious decimal places.
European here. Wtf I love imperial now.
Why did corn never take off in European food to the extent that tomatoes and potatoes did?

What do you put on your eggs? I like sprig onions and dill, but am open to suggestion.

Hot sauce and cracked black pepper.
Can't improve on perfection.

chives & red pepper flakes
Garlic salt, black pepper, shredded asiago/romano/parm blend
Fried and put on toasted sourdough
I have pork shoulder that's been sitting in my freezer for a little more than half a year.
It's sell by date was 1/5/17.
Would I be a complete fucking idiot to cook and eat this thing? I froze it immediately after I got it IIRC.
>>9202213
It may be a little freezer burned but it won't kill you.
>>9202213
Nah, stuff lasts longer in the freezer. That sell-by date was most likely counting on the meat being kept in the refrigerator and not the freezer. I'd thaw that in the fridge overnight and make some pulled pork. I can link you some recipes and give you some tips if you want.
Goddamnit, I've been traveling France for a week now and I want to blow my fucking brains out. This ain't my first rodeo, either: I've probably spent at least a year traveling the country, eating at all sorts of goddamned places (yes, this includes starred, traditional, immigrant, etc.) and it's always the same shit
>Primary flavors always oil or butter, sometimes throwing in some wine if they feel cheeky: zero subtlety in seasoning
>Don't serve a single side of fucking vegetables in entire cities without drowning that shit in fat, even if you're desperate enough to go to vegan restaurants.
>Foreign restaurants don't serve vegetable dishes because they realize they wouldn't sell to frenchies
>Never invented any savory dish (well, save chips) worth a damn that wasn't just "LOL ROUX AND STOCK LMAO"
>Anything decent they make has a nearly-identical version elsewhere do to the uncreativity of their dishes
Is it's reputation the product of a bygone era when the very notion of sauces was "fancy"? I thank them for the wealth of techniques they innovated, but goddamn, fuck their food.
Yea french food is 80% meme
>>9202146
Surely this won't end up as a /pol/ or /int/ thread
Last time I was in France in one week I ate "traditional" French food, trendy modern French food, dirt brown people food from all over the world of both excellent and mediocre quality, and American fast food garbage.
It sounds to me like you're not so much "traveling France" as "imagining what France must be like" based on some 4chan memes and old movies from the 1960s.
Have fun with your imagination.
I just tried these things, and I'm really surprised that I actually like them. There's sort of an element of banana in them, but really they taste like that bubblegum flavored toothpaste at the dentist, with a very firm marshmallow texture. Very satisfying.

thats good since theyre banana flavored

Why do you faggot Americans use stupid units of measurements let me just weigh out 28 grams times over
>>9202115
Ounces are used for both weight and volume
>>9202145
That's why it's even more stupid and ambiguous.
We keep it because there's a vocal 30% or so of the population who believes using a retarded measurement system that the rest of the world has long ago discarded is some sort of national honor. Whenever changing it is brought up for discussion, the wailing and gnashing of teeth by troglodytes can be heard in the bowels of Satan.
Anyone here ever try an IKE'S Sandiwch?
There are a few locations in my area and people recommend it constantly but those people are the same people I see living off of a strict SUBWAY and McDonald"s diet
>>9202016
Can't say that I have but that photo isn't at all appealing. In fact it looks some someone took a shit on a roll and covered it in ranch.
I'm looking at their menu, pretty fucking expensive. What sandwich is that picture?
>>9202053
yeah that is one of the things throwing me off. about 9-10 bucks a sandwich. I'm in northern California by the way and in Berkeley there doesn't seem to be a decent sandwich shop.
I have no idea but I saw they have a sandwich called the LEX LUTHOR that's priced at 40 dollars

When did this start?
Baked or steamed?
>>9201713
Steamed every time
>>9201713
Baked.
I can appreciate steamed, but it really feels like a method that was concocted because baking wasn't an option.
I don't really mind baked but I'm more partial to steamed
Going to a Turkish restaurant, never really had their food before (besides like, shish kebab and shit but everyone makes that).
Is there anything that stands out to you guys?
