carbs taste good

Honestly I find most food documentaries to be insufferable. I've never seen a popular one that genuinely takes the Columbian exchange, economic conditions or religion seriously as influences on cuisine, despite these three being perhaps the three biggest influences on modern day cuisines. It's often bullshit on how food was better in some preindustrial or even prehistorical time (just no), authenticity worship, "scientific" explanations or healthism.

i got genuinely angry because it was talking about how standard olive oil sucks and you should be getting olive oil made from olives that were personally caressed by italians when like... i just want to make the food taste good?

I like good olive oil, but I also buy refined olive oil on purpose. Sometimes all that a dish needs is the fat composition of olive oil to soak flavor from aromatic vegetables and spices and the neutral flavor of the oil itself is no great hindrance. This is great for good enough cooking.

ive noticed that i take way longer than recipes say they do but i chalked that up to being inexperienced. sometimes when i see recipes that call for arcane obscure bullshit you can only get from fancy grocery stores its like... who is this for? is food better this way? were you unhappy with how it was before? i watched the first episode of that netflix show salt fat acid heat and i got genuinely angry because it was talking about how standard olive oil sucks and you should be getting olive oil made from olives that were personally caressed by italians when like... i just want to make the food taste good? this is literally impossible for the average person to experience so why even bother

wake up sheeple

this always bothered me and i just assumed it was something i was doing wrong, now i think theres prob a lot of stuff in cooking like this. for one recipes always take at least 10 more minutes of baking for me than they say in the directions, even as i moved between a few ovens

TRUTH

I think about this article all the time

last night i had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and it's been staying inside so i think i'm finally in the retrain-stomach-for-meals stage thank god

oh hell I hope you feel better soon, that's a nightmare D:

been having a bad couple days 😭

aughhh I had what I have to think was food poisoning a few years ago and. still no idea what I ate that did it but WOOF was that a bad several hours

I love how despite the fact that $8 for a pound of beans is ludicrous it's still not obscenenly expensive compared to the nutritional equivalent in other foods. Beans truly are the ultimate foodstuff.

I recently discovered the perfect bean, only to find out that they were sold out shortly thereafter. Soon....

Stopped myself from spending $8 on a single pound of beans the other day.

They were very specified beaneds.

I have since managed to control my manic pixie bean whirlwind

I signed up for this hipster-ass subscription bean service and I legit love it. There are so many beans in this world.

Purple ones are kinda cool.

sadly they did not have green tortilla chips

did you buy any other green things along with the salsa

🤔.

ok, green_panda

sounds fake

it's actually totally possible, just very implausible. technically they are implausiburgers.

if it's impossible, then how come it exists? 🤔🤔🤔

Hell yea
