Don’t actually start shit please.
So my take
meat take
is that boneless chicken wings are in all ways superior to normal chicken wings.
vegetarian take
Firm tofu is hands down better than all other forms of tofu, tempeh, etc.
And mash potatoes on pizza isn’t actually that bad. Just make it a proper pureé instead of smooshing up a baked potato with a spoon and calling it a day.
Bone in meat is fucking dog shit and all the people who think leaving the bone in makes the flavor magically better are wrong, all you’re doing is making people have to work eating around shit. I don’t care what nerd shit you wanna say to me about collagen or bone marrow or whatever, the difference in flavor is imperceptible and the difference in eating EXPERIENCE is massive. Fillets all day.
You will hate it in China. Order some duck or chicken rice, they will cook it whole, then cut the entire thing up, bones en all, with a cleaver, and dump it straight into the bowl. Shards of shattered bone everywhere
oh god
It makes a noticeable difference in stews and soups where bone and cartilage can actually break down
well yeah but then you’re having it affect the consistency and mouth feel of the soup so yeah i agree, i meant more like bone in steaks or pork chops or chicken wings and stuff like that
if you leave tofu to it’s own devices it tastes of nothing + the faint taste of soybeans (depending on type)
so if someone doesn’t like the taste of tofu- they have cooked it with something that tastes bad
- their tofu has gone off
- they are both extremely sensitive and averse to the taste of soybeans
Texture
Your geographic distance from Oaxaca/Chiapas is directly proportional to how bad your Mexican food tastes.
“authentic” does not necessarily mean good
i don’t really think the word authentic means any thing any more. it’s been abused by marketing so much it’s a red flag when i see it
If it weren’t for the quality of ingredients, this meme would be unironically true.
al dente pasta sucks, give that shit another 2 minutes
GOOD take
woo we going after that Italian demographic today folks!
I never really liked ice cream at all, and this isn’t even me speaking as a vegan. Before going vegan, I hated ice cream, and nowadays, even dairy-free ice cream is totally unappetizing and unenjoyable to me.
the ideal pizza is:
jalapeno, pineapple, mushroom, pepperoni, and anchovies
you get every spot on your tongue activated except for bitter: sweet, salty, umami, savory, spicy, cooling, funkiness from the cheese, acidity
If you know what a cows life is like and continue to support that exploitation I will distrust you. I do not understand how you can look yourself in the mirror after purchasing a carton of milk again and frankly I don’t care.
i too have watched Okja
(all joking aside, at the very least ppl need to stop eating pigs and cows. at the VERY LEAST)
I didnt, putting it on my to watch list. Thanks!
I said hot takes not normie takes
i have been observing voluntary dietary restrictions already and am seriously tempted to make the leap to vegetarian, because what i’m learning right now about avoiding certain foods is that it’s hard, it’s annoying, but it’s doable, and I am capable of cooking my own food to some robust degree. It’s time.
Vegan is another step beyond, i might get there someday, but i’m interested in moving that way. The inertia of a lifetime of eating meat, my relative lack of means, and the stress of life makes big changes difficult right now, but I accept the moral arguments, I want to get there.
CW: non vegan post
My take is that as long as you enjoy your food I don’t care how you eat it. Put pineapple on your pizza or make a banana and mayo sandwich or whatever weird shit you want if you like it eat it I don’t really care. Folks get real bent outta shape with the “how dare you enjoy food the way you want to” takes it’s stupid. Eat it how you wanna eat it
Boo with the snuggle sessions
The more I live the more I learn that for most people all we get sometimes are those little moments of joy and I go out of my way to avoid taking those moments away
I blocked a user i usually like interacting because they got really weirdly belligerent about me saying using doritos for nachos isn’t all that weird because it’s literally a chili lime flavored tortilla chip anyway and then they sicced the mods on me for misgendering because I was just like “ok, guy”
FYI y’all for the record everyone my “ok, guy” was not meant to be an attack on their they them pronouns and i feel like that shoulda been obvious“ok, guy” is like calling everyone dude. Don’t. Unless they’re a dude or a guy or tell you it’s okay. Otherwise it’s misgendering even if you don’t mean it as such. They correctly sicced the mods on you and it doesn’t seem like you’ve learned from it so hopefully this time you do. If someone doesn’t want to be referred to by a gender don’t refer to them as similarly gendered words either it’s actually extremely easy and unambiguous.
Although you are correct about Doritos for nachos I do that all the time
The person beibg referred to was me and I didn’t report the comment. I made a reply with a correction.
It was very clearly an exasperated non-response to debate bro-ism over something stupid and making it out like im making a bigoted statement on their gender for it is wack and Im resentful of the implication that I meant something harmful by it. Especially when THEY were getting weird and belligerent towards me. Over chips.
On that note ive never seen anyone accused of misgendering for accusations of debate broism
Getting a post removed for misgendering isn’t an attack on you it’s a protection for the person being misgendered. One of my trans enby comrades is AMAB and the amount of times they have had their day ruined because someone said “thank you sir” or “hey dude” or whatever is honestly surprising to me but those words are something they want to distance themselves from and even if it’s not meant as an attack on them it hurts them when it happens. Intent doesn’t matter, your impact does. I’ve learned to fiercely protect them and all the other comrades in my life as a result because there’s just no reason for people to be hurting them like that even accidentally.
Honestly I’ve had posts removed for misgendering by accident too it doesn’t mean I’m some raging bigot it just meant I was careless, someone else had to clean it up for me, and I need to do better next time.
It’s not about you. Just do better that’s all anyone is asking.
So maybe the wizard of lonliness doesn’t know that I can still see their posts. Here’s the exchange in full. I didn’t report the comment. But since im being talked about like I can’t see the fucking posts here we go.
And wizardoflonliness is like the 3rd account of someone who has been repeatedly banned for not CWing meat and throwing a fit over being asked to.
So anyway, read it for yourself and make of it what you will, here’s the thread link as well.

Edit last and 2nd last image should swapped
Standard red beets are better raw and if youre gonna roast em, cut em into wedges first, skin on roasting is for suckers. Tried it at work once just messing around they came out amazing. This is not a hot take but a hot tip, people aren’t against it but usually haven’t tried it.
I guess my hottest is you can put fucking anything on a pizza if it already goes together and it’s fine. Made green curry pizza before and it slapped.

I knew a place in Ft. McMurray, AB that made an absolutely divine peanut butter, honey, and banana pizza in the 80’s. “Pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza!” dweebs are decades behind on the pizza meta.
My current favorite is: (pepperoni, ham, any salty meat), pineapple, and jalapenos. Sweet. Salty. Spicy. Savory. All in every bite. Best pizza.
I work at a higher scale pizza place, our chef does international pizza competitions in Vegas every couple years and places in the middle, we make really fucking good pizza. I don’t eat meat so yours doesn’t do it for me but my current work fave is vodka sauce (when doing prep I add the non vegan stuff last and scoop out my portions that I make vegan for myself) as a base which, pineapple, sweet roasted jalapeños (make a thicc simple syrup, normally simple is equal parts sugar and water and then boil it down, use like a cup of sugar and water, and then add a teaspoon of maple and a teaspoon of molasses and let it reduce for like 20 minutes) toss chopped up jalapeños in that and add a bit of salt and bake em, shallots and vegan feta we get from a nearby place that does vegan chesses. Pizza has been how I pay the rent for the last 4 years and I really really know my way around one.

Goddamn right you do. That sounds incredible.
If you can stand the process, home made beet burgers are absolutely the best form of burger, hands down. Flavor, texture, heft. Perfect.
Im interested. How do you normally do em? Grind em and make patties that way? Process is no obstacle, I’ve been cooking as a job for 15 years doing generally higher end shit. Plus im sure I can freeze em so I can do a batch day where I end out looking like Ash at the end of Evil Dead 2 but with beet juice.
Side note, have you tried non standard beets? Golden and rainbow beets are both amazing. They’re great raw. Golden ones roast good, rainbows lose all their flavor and it’s a subtle taste to start. Marinating or brining them has been working nice. I’d go with the brine overall tho. Basically you wanna boil em skin on until theyre still firm but have some give. A fork should go through with some resistance. Ice bath em. At the same time you’re doing that bullshit, simmer very very salty water with some anise and maybe a bay leaf for no reason and then let that cool, filter out the spices and let the beets sit in that in a fridge overnight.
I like hawaiian pizza
Mild take, go back to reddit
*tips fedora*
the feeling of being full after being really hungry is better than any flavour of food. fill me with slop so my tummy stops yelling at me
The full tummy snooze is powerful.
Cake, cupcakes and most other baked goods and desserts are fucking garbage.
And you can pour all your hot sauces on a dish of pickles and fuck off with that disgusting shit.
I’m not falling for that hot take that’s clearly someone with a fetish for getting yelled at I refuse to participate in that kind of perversion
I’ll admit it was written provocatively, but I do honestly and truly hate most baked goods, hot sauce/spicy food, and pickles. I grew up being forced to eat my own cakes at my birthday parties. I like pies though.
The texture of refried beans makes it inedible. It also looks like diarrhea.
