The true pleb filter is when someone claims sweet = bad

Just because you've only tasted critter wine doesn't give you grounds for spouting off about shit you know nothing about

>yes I'll have a jack and coke

A pleb pretends not to like something that tastes good because he thinks it will impress other snobs.

A true patrician's taste evolves and matures beyond the more basic considerations of simply "tasting good" and desires a more complex and rich experience. If he cares about the opinions of others at all, he would try to enlighten them instead of shame them.

Boil some potatoes in the microwave. Make potatosalad with sourcream/mayo, chopped red onions and chives.
Great for sidedish to all those meatballs you're gonna see.

Thanks for the idea.
I should clarify that at my home I have a microwave, and oven, a slow cooker, a toaster. At the venue, there is but a microwave.

I'm thinking about home made salsa, but then I think if I'm gonna do salsa, I could just buy half a gallon and it wouldn't go bad overnight. I don't fuxxing know.

Someone's doing BBQ chicken sandwiches, cheese dip, buffalo dip, and cake so far.

someone explain the potluck thing to someone not from the US?
My understanding is its a cummunity/church-organised get together where everyone brings a dish, why would you be on a 1hour drive for that? Is there anything to win?
Or is potluck just a general theme for a party/meeting?

find a new spoon and fish out the dead one

Ask Sylvia Plath

Electric heats up more evenly and provides a dry cooking environment.

Gas heats up more quickly, but can be less even (especially on cheaper gas ovens), and will provide a wetter cooking environment (food will dry out less quickly).

The Dry vs wet argument has merits on both sides, it's a preference thing.

Due to the range on top, gas is the top choice. It simply provides way more BTUs and finer cooking control. Not to mention the heat energy in the form of natural gas is something like ten times less expensive than the cost of electricity. A gas flame also can never really wear out, but electric elements do wear out, break, and get dirty with burned on shit.

Use them as toppings on pizza

i guess bake the onion and just eat the tomato while i'm waiting

Blend them to use as a sauce for curry.

>i've literally never eaten a burger outside of school or fastfood

I was extremely poor growing up and my parents wasted food stampsby themslves and left bare staples (saltine crackers, milk, bread, butter, and lunch meat if lucky).

The school burgers, spaghetti, nachos, and pizza were some of ths best tasting foods in my childhood.

Whenever this happens to me I head down to the local Chinatown and get rip roaring drunk and engage the local Chinamen in fisticuffs.

>Who knew getting smacked in the face with a cleaver would hurt so much

I had some leftover "raspberry zinger" tea bags that I took from a school event so I'm just using those up. Nothin' too fancy

Homemade sweet tea.

What oolong should I get off amazon? Or puehr.

Sorry, that's the only healthy food

1) Yes. I've done so many times.

2) 99% of the time "truffle oil" is a cheap vegetable oil that has an artificial truffle flavoring added to it. You use it by throwing it in the garbage can. Real truffle oil does exist, and it's expensive as fuck. That would be a base oil that has pieces of truffle in it. It's used as a dressing--drizzled onto food--in very small quantities because the flavor is strong.

Of course. Pasta is a good dish for that. Also simple things like perfectly cooked vegetables and meat. Sauces are what really tend to blow people away IMO.

Anyway, I would suggest actually purchasing fresh truffles instead of truffle-flavored products. They really aren't that crazy of a purchase if you have a bit of disposable income. Truffles are cheaper than marijuana in some places.

>Pasta is a good dish for that.

I mean, cooking a great ragu for gnocchi or stuffed pasta like ravioli. Also, a really simple pasta done right can blow people away. Something like amatriciana or carbonara.
