I'm trying to cook up an Italian meal for the family once a week. Everyone seems to like Arrabbiata sauce the most.
I've pulled in a few recipes in order to distill out the silly shit like capers, and I'm noticing a pattern. Tomatoes, onion, garlic, red pepper, salt, and... sugar.
Can someone explain to me why the sugar is necessary? Wouldn't the tomatoes already give the dish a sweet flavor?

They can also give it an acidic flavour depending on the sauce, so sugar helps to balance it. However, most of the time sugar isn't necessary.
Cook the sauce, and in the last ten minutes or so, test taste it, and decide if it needs it then.
>>
>>8201251
Yes, but tomatoes also get very acidic/tangy when cooked, so traditionally the solution was to use a sweet red wine to balance things out and/or cook with meats in the sauce to give it richness. Now people add sugar. Same shit.
>>
Sugar is added to combat the acidity of shitty tomatoes. Cook your sauce correctly and don't use the cheapest shit canned tomatoes and you shouldn't need extra sugar. Throw in a splash of a sweet red wine if it's a bit acidic near the end.

It's overused and takes the flavor from everything, it's best used sparingly but still sucks.

How to tell when buttermilk has gone bad? The expiry date is tomorrow and id like to make buttermilk biscuits in a few days. Since it already smells and tastes mildly sour, when does it actually get fucked and kills your gut? Pic unrelated.

It won't for quite some time if kept in the refrigerator, due to the high acidic level. Cooking as ingredient in bisciuts would kill anything anyway. You're way fine.

What's the worst restaurant you ever worked at?
For me it would have to be this Moroccan place I was a dishwasher at for 2 months. Everyone except the owner was strung out on heroin, boss always paid us late (payday was supposed to be Friday, he would always give us our paychecks on Monday) half the workers never showed up and it was always DEAD. One day our boss convinced the city to host some sort of event there in which 300+ people showed up. We've never had a night where 30 people showed up to eat, let alone 300. I wasnt even supposed to work that night but they called me into help. When i got there there were no clean dishes and a shit ton of food that needed to go out at that fuckig second. Some of the customers got their dinner in styrofoam. Needless to say it was an absolute disaster. One bus boy was on so much xanax he passed out and threw up in the rest room sink (in front of a city commissioner). One guy was cooking and was so fucking high on heroin he almost passed out on the line.
The only sane people there were the other dishwasher and I.
About 2 weeks after the event they closed down and I never got my last paycheck. They owe me like $500 at least. But it was 5 years ago. I'll never see that money.
I know one of you bastards had it worse than me.

Look, as a Canadian I drink a lot of Tim Horton's coffee. But I'll never say it's GOOD coffee. I've seen other Canadians play up Tim Horton's coffee, and I'll tell you now, it's a 4/10 coffee at best. Don't believe the leaf, almost any coffee is better than Tim's. We just drink it because there's a Tim Horton's on every street corner.

I totally agree as an American who works (and has customers he has to visit) in Quebec and Ontario. Tim Horton's coffee is mediocre as fuck. It's the same reason people drink starbucks, that's not particularly good coffee either.

You could blacken it by draining it till dry and throwing it in hot cast iron.
Or you could make creamed corn. Google, I don't wanna type that up
>>
You could make a corn sandwich, a corn pie, a corny joke... you could also mix it with bacon, because bacon makes everything better.
