What kind of wild imaginings are you having were there is something "wrong" with cooking all your food in a pan? I really don't even get the point you're trying to make.

>>8054188
it seems like "bachelor" type cooking is frowned upon, and on here you guys cook such intricate meals, i dunno. like do people expect you to be able to cook really well when you're an adult?

its not the pan part, just the how everything is so basic.

People cook for all sorts of reasons. Some enjoy the challenge of trying new dishes/techniques, and some just want to put a meal on the table and save some money vs dining out. If you like plain food cook plain simple food. Nothing wrong with that.

If you want to challenge yourself there's lots of things you could do but by all means live your life the way you like!

WHAT'RE THOSE??

I'd buy that.

can you taste the caffeine?
must be disgusting

Most American Chinese food is actually really shitty, trashy cornstarch thickened sweet oily fried garbage that pretty much all tastes the same and is usually of dubious quality. Authenticity has nothing to do with it being bad. In this day and age there is so much better Asian food available literally everywhere that there's no longer any reason to keep eating that crap; it's honestly kraft dinner and tendies tier nostalgia, and if you haven't grown out of those type of foods you don't belong here.

Ok I'm leaving forever now.

OP, I'm with you. It's good to expand your palate. Even American-style chinese food has more green veg than a McD's value meal combo.

Don't worry about whether it's "authentic". Food is food. Whatever you toss in your mouth is food. Whether it's authentic is a cultural consideration. So don't dismiss food because it's "inauthentic", and don't assume that food is good because it's "authentic".

North American "Chinese food" is loaded with sodium, often has a lot of msg, is often deep fried, and even the fresh veggies are drowning in "oyster sauce" which is full of sugar. But it's still arguably better than McDonalds.

Should it be its own category? Maybe. Whatever. Who cares. Just investigate what you're putting into your mouth if you haven't cooked it yourself.

Horrible. Looks like something a "young up and coming australian chef" would come up with

Just needs a drizzle of truffle oil and a sliver of foie gras to maximize the meming

>>8053881
>implying australia has ground beef of that quality
Wew.

Newish cook here (1 year experience on a line) but I have a strong passion to learn and to create something new every shift. My current place isn't for experimentation, but it is a good joint with good pay. Should I look for the ample spots in fine dining around my city and get out of upscale casual?

>>8053467
with your experience they won't let you do a lot of experiments anywhere. Offer to cook the staff meals or something if you wanna dick around with ideas. Cook more for yourself, at home, if you want to experiment.

Employ yourself where you think you will be able to learn the most. Find a restaurant where the exec chef is really fucking good, and lives in the kitchen and learn from them.

>>8053822
I meant experiments by a constantly changing menu/ingredients/seasons. I cook 30- 40 hours a week at home between baking and projects and dinner. Your last sentence decided it for me. My current chef is arguably lazier than me.

HOLY FUCK DUDE

Hatch chile's come from Hatch, New Mexico. Who ever argued that?

Yes, they need to be roasted first. Was there not a guy out front of the store roasting them?

>>8053407

one word: rellenos

>>8053409

>was there not a guy out front of the store roasting them

Nah. I really doubt there's enough demand in the area for there to be someone roasting them on site.

>>8053390
If you mean mixing plastic bottle vodka and Powerade in your gut, sure

Yes, this is the alcohol(ic) board, but no, we don't take kindly to your fru-fru cocktails.

Mixology is a great way to sell bartender licenses, there is a way to prepare cocktails but the same rule that applies to food also applies to cocktails

This isn't 1890

You boil sausages dude not hot dogs
And it's not stock, you'd need to cook that shit down for a while to make stock

>>8053286
You can probably use it effectively in an enema of your choice.

reduce it to one eighth. Then do one stock shot, tequila, bite of lemon.

or one stock shot, shot of vodka, bite of dill pickle.

It's probably more of a cultural thing. I grew up looking after horses and saw them as pets, but I'd still try the meat. Heard it has a shit ton of iron in it.

American horses aren't bred for meat. They're bred for sport and utility. Congratulations, you just learned that some countries are different from yours

>>8053105
>There can only be one type of horse breed
