Good question.

>>9332932
Good looking soup, mind if I have a bit???

>>9332932
Best marinade is if good marinade

>>9332913
It's overpriced, inflexible, and you don't get to choose your own ingredients.

Three strikes, you're out.

>>9332913
The produce is good but far too expensive.

>>9332913

I'm sure you can make some fine food with that, but it's wasteful. Too expensive, too much packaging, shipping, etc.

It's really just for lazy people. If you have internet, you have access to literally millions of recipes, pick one, as simple or complicated as you'd like. Then, go to the store and buy the ingredients. WALA. I don't believe that you're "too busy."

Just had a look at the website: a meal for two is $19.98. One of the recipes this week is lentils and eggs. Lentils and fucking eggs. A dozen eggs and a pound of lentils is like $4. Only the worst kind of person would pay $20 for 3/4 cup of lentils and 2 eggs.

I pick lambsquarter, young dandelion greens, purslane and chickweed. I don't know what you've got in your pic, though.

Pretty sure you're not meant to eat weeds.

>>9332984
uh oh here comes the weeds police

Every study on the healthiness of fish shows that eating it lowers heart disease risks despite the metals and so on that it contains due to water pollution, which leads me to believe that the healthy stuff in fish are healthier than the unhealthy stuff are unhealthy.

Eat away, but try to focus on species that contain low amounts of mercury.

https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/fish/

Modern-day fish is also a leading source of industrial pollutants such as mercury, dioxins, neurotoxins, arsenic, DDT, AGE’s, PCB’s, PDBE’s, alkylphenol endocrine disruptors and even prescription drugs that may end up in waterways.

>>9332905
Increasing pollution is a problem in some areas, but it's pretty much irrelevant unless you're eating nothing but fish in your diet.

Many people are prone to overreacting. They confuse "don't eat this food for every single meal" with "don't eat this food ever". That's what your friend is doing. Overreacting.

Keep in mind that pollution is everywhere, not just the water. It's in the air, in the ground, etc. You aren't avoiding pollution by avoiding fish. You're just switching what kind of pollution you are consuming.

That's because it's not maple syrup, it's corn syrup.

>>9332894
You seem to have smeared it on your camera lens instead of on your food. Better luck next time!

Kroger has their own brand of actual maple syrup for like $6. Shop there.

I think castor sugar dissolves more easily. Sugar is cheap so just buy what the recipe says.

Granulated is just fine.

>>9332813
Some recipies call for something ridiculous like golden caster sugar, which isn't even a thing where I live.

>>9332787
Ehh...
Good enough.

>>9332787
Delicious but bloated/10.

Raw onions? Do americans really eat this?

because the proper way to drink is using two hands

>>9332612
shit way desu
i like to have my coffee on one hand, phone on the other to catch up on the news.

>>9332612
How does the number of hands you use affect the taste?

That's freedom onion juice.

>>9332586
That's American Style French Onion Soup

Looks like fuckin mold on the outside of the pot

>>9332568
If you don't want to eat shit, avoid mushrooms.

>liking mushy shrooms

>>9332568
The only mushrooms I've ever liked were tempura'd.

Cooking Positives

Always in demand
Can commit a felony and still get a job
Go anywhere
Cooking can get you laid

Negatives

Paid like shit
Work like a dog
Likely get addicted to Drugs
Probably commit a felony
Smell like onions and ass so you can't get laid
Everyone treats you like fuck

My advise is don't

>start out with a degree
Or
Go to a local restaurant, get in as a dishwasher if they don't need prep cooks or linecucks, work your way up and get a feel for it. Being a chef isn't something a degree will teach you, there's so much more to it.
A short list of what you'll be doing as a head chef, assuming you don't want to be a $12 an hour linecuck forever.
>Making a menu
>Dealing with underlings who don't show up
>Ruling with an iron fist
>Being an asshole
>Working 80 hour weeks
>Never getting days off
>Rarely taking vacations
>Getting cucked by management
>Getting cucked by servers
>Getting cucked by linecucks
>Doing dishes when your dishwasher bails
>Contemplating suicide
>Being a psychopath
>Hopefully making delicious food

If this is your number one passion you'll PROBABLY be okay. I don't recommend a degree until you realize you're in a cutthroat industry where it's always me>the team in most people's eyes. Try to apprentice under a GOOD, classically trained, bonafide chef before blowing 30k on a meme degree.

Cooking is at the ass end of my backup plans. If everything goes to shit, I'll end up a chef again.

Damn, is it really that bad?
I heard catering would be a damn good time if I go that route.
But you guys are making being a chef sound horrid...

>>9332514
If something is frozen,it more the less dead,but stab a knife in it's head just to be safe.
And yes,it would be illegal.

Unless it's an area that is specifically legal to take fossils, it's illegal to take them on public lands and wildlife parks in the USA.

And it would taste like shit. People have tried mammoth meat and they said it was awful because just because it's been frozen for thousands of years doesn't make it preserved enough to eat.

>>9332514
Anon, is there something you want to tell us?

Is this a haiku?

Corned been is the worst shit ever, reubens are disgusting as they are 890% salt.
