>tfw I have an obese vegan friend
How does he do it?

>>8890085
He doesn't get enough protein to keep an healthy metabolism.

>>8890085
Well now you can finally understand that some people do have a problem with weight due to genetics.

Octopus. Greek/Mediterranean style.

Braise it.

>>8889767
Sounds good, my man. Not the best option tho, because my oven is soon to be occupied by a piece of porkchop. But I guess it's a start, if nothing else works, I'll just make some kind of salad with octopus & italian spices.

>>8889784
You can braise on a stove top if you have a dutch oven or a similar tool. Just wrap the top and 420 Braise It.

Boiled gammon joint is fucking divine you philistine.

>>8889552
yeah bro, just deep fry it xD

>>8889552
boiled meat is great but like all things boiled you can very very easily fuck it up. or make it way way to plain and boring.

The only time I was ever able to make that shit palatable was the time my roommate's dad gave him a fucking palate of the mini ravioli, and I used some to make a baked casserole situation. Basically a baked ziti type thing, except with fucking Chef Boyardee. It turned out pretty good, actually.

>>8889490
*pallet*, not palate (I'm so used to using the other one here)

is this guy a real chef? where does he work?

Have you tried impaling them to a wooden chopping board with a knife or serving them on top of a cup. You're welcome.

>>8888736
My best advice? DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT to add lettuce and tomato. That will ruin it. Just meet and cheese.

>>8888474
We don't even have them. Life is suffering.

for a while it was fried, but changed back to baked

>>8888474
Do yourself a favour next time you're at mcdonalds. Get a large caramel sundae and smoosh an apple pie into it. Smash it up with your spoon. Dessert of fucking champions right there.

>Americans are so fat they need soda with their Gelato

Haven't had a root beer float since I became fucking partially lactose intolerant. Last one I had was a fucking coke float because the dumb bitch at the counter fucked up the labels

>>8888059

On cheeseburgers i prefer it a bit melted, however not to the point where it's dripping away.

I never in my life imagined there existed people that like unmelted cheese on a burger.

>>8887956
Depends.

Weaker, more mellow cheeses such as Kraft™ "cheese food" or good ol' Swiss are better when melted onto the patty.

If it's a nice sharp cheddar or something, I like it to be soft and warm, but not melted completely to the patty. Preserves the distinct flavor.

Depends

You have to have the right stones. There are a lot of lies that get repeated in the knife part of the internet and one of the worst is "you don't need a coarse stone, you should get a 1.2k and a 6k". This is wrong. Everyone needs coarse stones, ESPECIALLY people who are new to sharpening.

You have to know, on a conceptual level, how to use the stones

You have to maintain the stones (unless diamond, which I consider a "stone" for purposes of this discussion since it is essentially used in the same way). This is a time sink.

You have to have the muscle memory and the patience. Patience is on you, muscle memory means sharpening relatively frequently, not once every six months. If you are a home cook, "relatively frequently" will be far in excess of what is really necessary for knife maintenance given the actual demands placed on your knives.

Many, many people buy bench stones, use them a bit, the initial motivation wears off, and then they never bother. Many many knife hobbyists on the internet who *do* use bench stones downplay the time requirements, exaggerate their own proficiency, and exaggerate the actual condition of the knives in their own homes, due to peer pressure and e-peening. The problem is that doing a really basic job of freehanding is actually pretty easy to do in the most basic way, and, beyond that, nobody is using SEM photography of their own work because it's not practical.

But getting beyond "basic" is going to be necessary if you really want this to be worth the time. Otherwise you're just expending more energy to do an edge that cuts, is mediocre, but mediocre in a different way than Chef's Choice with more Trivox. Because it's mediocre in a different way, knife hobbyists will claim it's "better" and "now you're on your way to being One Of Us". But mediocrity is mediocrity. If you don't intend to go full autist, you should just do it the easy way, e-peening and internet lies are kind of a shitty way to have a hobby desu senpai

I've heard sweet potatoes are healthier than potatoes.

potatoes are near nutrient complete and provide high satiety

depending on what you're looking for, they're pretty good

Thanks. I appreciate it. They fill me up well and I dont get hungry for a while, I can make them tasty by spraying that fake butter oil on them
