sweet and salty is a tricky thing.

i've added salt to desserts, thinking it'll make it amazing. it only makes it awful and inedible.

i think the trick is to use a few pieces of large grain salt, just on the surface. you get the occasional hints of salt here and there.

>>9020400
This shit right fucking here.
I lost two friends (really one friend married to a shitty female) because we got in an argument over phones being appropriate to have not silenced/out and being played with at a restaurant.
"But if my phone's in my purse how am I going to take pictures of the food?" was the point where I fucking lost it and told them not to invite me out anymore.

>>9020390
your cooking

>>9020627
I get that it's annoying, but that is pure autism

>>9020659
I'm autistic and I can confirm
If someone takes their phone out to take a picture of food while we're eating I usually tell them to leave then and there or just leave myself and don't pay my share.

Finding out after you're all done and ready to eat that one of your ingredients had gone bad
Happened to me twice
>Spend $35 making some chicken casserole
>tastes funky
>find out the jar of chopped garlic I literally just bought was completely bad
>whole pot ruined and an hour wasted

>spend 20 minutes making cheesy scrambled eggs and bacon
>use the last eggs
>tastes like medicine
>look in cheese bag and see very faint signs of mold

JUST

>>9020627
i mean, i get what you're saying. i had a come to jesus moment with my girlfriend a while back and told her not to ever take pictures of her food in public if she's with me, and she obliges. i don't give a shit what she does with her instagram or snapchat or whatever if she isn't with me.

but you're a fucking autist if you ruined (yes, YOU ruined) a friendship over some trivial shit like this.

that's what you get for not shredding your own off a block

>>9020695
I don't want to dirty up a cheese grater every time I want shredded cheese. There's literally nothing wrong with buying quality shredded cheese.

For most purposes you're not going to notice a difference if it's from a bag or a block if it's a minor ingredient.

>>9020749
Wanna know how I know you don't make very good food?
>minor ingredient
There is no such thing
If you don't immediately detect the difference in texture and taste between bagged and freshly shredded good quality cheese then you need to start cooking higher quality food

>>9020707
I bet he didn't slaughter his own chickens and pigs either, literally hamburger helper tier XD

>>9020756
I don't care, it's good enough for me and I'm not dirtying up the entire kitchen every time I want to make a simple meal.

>>9020786
>entire kitchen
>have to bust out one more utensil and a cutting board
Don't make it seem more work than it is. at least you acknowledge your cooking is simple though.
>>9020777
Freshly slaughtered chicken is god tier if you can get it, but most people don't live near a farm. Just finding the most local poultry/meat really helps the local economy and tastes leagues better. If there is nothing fresh and local then you have a pretty good excuse to pick up some factory meat, but only if you're cooking for yourself and not trying to sell your food.

lol WHAT?

you're not supposed to bring your phone into a fancy restaurant because..why? if i were with you, and you started going off on me for checking my stocks or whatever, i'd kick your ass.

if you couldn't handle the situation, that is 100% on you. you don't have to reveal your power level like that just to get across such a simple point.

>>9020852
>just start suddenly checking your stocks while eating with an acquaintance in a nice setting
Very rude. At the very least you deserve a dirty look. Unless you excuse yourself before hand.
If you did this in a business setting then I would not associate with you.

>>9020862
>nice setting

why does that make a difference to you? think it'll spoil your overpriced food?

>>9020864
Will me burping smacking my mouthful spoil your perfectly good meal?
Not very good manners my friend. Excuse yourself first. It'd be fine casually between close friends, but don't do this in a nicer setting that calls for proper manners.

>>9020874
eating is a leisure activity in nearly every instance. if you find someone glancing at their cell phone during dinner personally offensive, that's fine. we've already covered that you're willing to end important relationships over petty things.

>>9020883
I'm not that autist. I wouldn't end a friendly relationship with someone over it in a simple casual setting.
If it was in a professional setting or a serious date I definitely wouldn't associate with the person anymore if they didn't excuse themselves which seems like pretty normal etiquette to me.

>>9020883

>>9020627
If theyre making noise with it that's one thing but if you're sperging over people surfing the internet while there's nothing else to do then you're an actual autist

>>9020906
i never said nice things are a scam. i enjoy eating fine food. i just don't treat the experience like i'm diffusing a bomb. it's food. you will shit it out tomorrow. i have disposable income too, buddy.

>>9020908
but it does AFFECT others. i wouldn't throw an autistic fit like that anon, but it's completely rude. what are you really gonna miss out on your phone while you're out for an hour with physical friends?

>>9020627

Do you think it's impossible to pull out s phone for a minute when nothing else is happening?

Christ this entire thread is "old man yells at cloud". If people are on their phones there's either downtime or you're not being interesting enough to warrant attention

>>9020390
Your attitude.

>>9020939
i'm allowed to recognize that "nice" food is overpriced while enjoying it. getting pissed off at somebody for "ruining" their "fine dining" experience by using their phone is the epitome of classless. sorry you wasted your wagecuck buckaroos, i guess.

>>9020390
Autists

>>9020913
If I'm with people and they start fucking with their phone or take silly personal calls, I'll leave immediately. It's fucking rude. Having said that, if their phone rings and they look at it and say, "Excuse me, it's some work bullshit, I've got to take this," that's cool. If you can't escape your fucking phone for a few hours of social interaction, stay in your goddamn basement!

>>9020946
yeah and you going on your phone doesn't help at all. there's nothing wrong with lulls in conversations. it's just this adhd/autistic generation that needs to be constantly stimulated or distracted. saying this all as a millennial btw.

>>9020992
>put away your iPacifier

The millennials cannot do it. It fucking amazes me. Even my Grandmother who got old and religiously watched her soaps, was polite enough to turn the tv off if she had company. This fucking generation is so self absorbed and believes the internet bullshit is more real than real life and cannot disconnect without suffering withdrawal symptoms similar to an addict. This fucking brave new world of computer screens being a better friend than your neighbor is more frightening than nuclear weapons. I know who it's benefiting and they look fat and happy in the farmhouse, while you're in the barnyard. Orwell was just a little early in his prediction.

>>9021430
Listen up here pal, I'm about as millennial as you'll get and even I put my phone on silent and keep it in my pocket whenever out in company. I've seen more people between 35-60 play on their phones while with company than I've seen other millennials do it. This problem isn't with the millennials, it's with their parents.

check this: you're on 4chan

4chan isn't representative of the public at large. like, at all. most normal people (normies, omg) don't use this site. most normies don't even use reddit desu. and yet virtually everyone owns a smartphone. you are technically in a minority, alongside myself, of people who aren't totally self-absorbed born-consumers. good job, you did the bare minimum to not be a garbage human bean.

If you are out with a friend and take out your phone, even after the conversation has simmered, you are a fucking idiot. It's incredibly disrespectful, and there's nothing wrong with not talking to people like that anymore. Period.

>>9020390

I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Nothing will trigger me harder than someone I'm eating with complaining to a waiter about something that isn't an issue or something they never told the waiter in the first place. Had a friends gf complain that her brisket wasn't cooked properly because it was pink and sent it back only for the chef to send it back as is with a note explaining what a smoke ring is, dumb cunt wouldn't listen to me or my friend when we explained it to her before she complained either. "I haven't the slightest clue about food or cooking in general but I'm going to send shit back and complain its not right" fuck those people.

1. If I was at a $500 per person meal I would want to remember it too, especially if someone was buying it for me and I couldn't afford that sort of thing myself.

Anywhere in the south and they're everywhere, often the majority. Any major city anywhere, ditto. The only exceptions are the far north northeast and western mountain states like idaho, montana, and wyoming, or extremely rural agricultural areas outside the south. Foreign tourists might go to western mountain states or extreme NE if they're /out/fags, but they aren't coming to the US to watch the corn grow in Iowa.

>when you use your phone as the conversation starter
Why dont more people do that, just pull your phone out, look up something relevant to both your interests and try and start something up from there. If no ones talking then at least make the attempt to try and start a conversation. I understand that people can just sit and enjoy each others company but just sitting their eating in silence slowly gets awkward as you start to pay attention to how the other person eats.
