Why do people make a huge fucking deal of the foods and drinks

Risotto. Yeah, let's spend an hour making something that about as appetizing as wallpaper paste on a good day.

It's not an actual sock.

I assume they do this because it's less work than pouring it back and forth multiple times to aerate it.

Can you make laicha at home without that sock? I'd totally make some for myself if I didn't need that sock. Shit's so delicious.

the sock is very real. hong kong custom dictates that the sock come from the foot of a diabetic athlete's foot sufferer. this results in a slightly sweet, umami profile in the sock. this flavor is imparted to the tea during straining.

as eating yourself to death is rare among asian peoples, the supply of these socks is scarce, and the tea is a luxury good.

Yes. But the sock ensure the black tea still has bite even after the milk and sugar should have fucked it up since it has been brewing for a while.

As someone who had high tea, the better tea filters isnt made from paper but usually cotton or silk to keep "track" of previously steeped teas so they tasted consistent as well as saving money since you can reuse it.

But on the same subject fuck you spicy wings. I know your goal is to convince me to buy a pitcher of beer but I refuse to surrender to your money gouging ways!

Don't forget HK style French toast, a Cantonese interpretation of a British interpretation of French toast.

The sock stays in the brewer. With paper filters you throw them out whence you are done brewing the batch.
