Chit-Chat: In which we welcome back Shining Raichu from his extended vacation

[Oryx]

But did it taste good? That's all that matters.

 

[Livewire]

I have to cook all the time for work. I'm not a certified chef, but I've been trained by coworkers who are actual chefs with culinary degrees and the like, so I'm a pretty good cook.

 

[DavidtheDeadPhilosopher]

Well, I've worked both short-order and fast food, so I can at least tell you when somethings burning ^_^

On a personal level, I seem to be a polorizing chef, It either turns out amazing, or it turns out to be barly food, I just can't make an average meal. For some reason meals that take a bit more time to make like Lasagna and Sheperd's Pie turn out better then the quick and dirty meals like Eggs and Toast, and god forbid Ramen Noodles.

 

[Gabri]

I can put frozen stuff in an oven.
Other than that, I can cook rice and spaghetti. And some fried stuff. Not much else.

I really have to learn how to cook decent stuff.

I heard some kind of poison tastes like almonds, so I'm not sure that's the "only" thing that matters

 

[Kura]

I reallyenjoy cooking for others but not all that much for myself. I've always wanted to try and make a proper beef wellington but it takes like 3-4 hours or something like that. Would have to be for a special event.

Cyanide, and it's often described as "bitter almonds" or some other flavor. I like my murder mysteries.

 

[DavidtheDeadPhilosopher]

yes, and I would manage a guess that a bitter almond taste wouldn't taste very good...but I could be wrong.

I remember reading a story once where a lady has a house guest over, and she poisions the guy and the only way you discover he was poisoned is because the tea tasted like bitter almonds :)

I'm the opposite, actually. I like cooking for myself as I know exactly what I like and what sorts of flavours to put in. As well, I feel slightly more liberated to experiment and make mistakes, as I'm the only one that's going to be eating the finished product. I don't cook an awful lot, but when I do, I like it to be all for me! :D

 

[Livewire]

I like cooking for certain people. People who frequent my store and order from me a lot, AKA the regulars, I love to cook for and impress with new stuff. But the random noob who stumbles across the grill drives me freaking insane. I hate that.

 

[Echidna]

Well I know that I can cook if I'm given instructions! I mean last week I made this really weird yet tasty Meat Loaf recipe while taking instructions from my mom on the phone lmao.
On my own though, I can put together a good salad, make basic soups, and throw some bacon and eggs in a pan because yummm. Dis be all.

In a way, I see what you mean, as I have my own flavour profile and I can't handle some stuff like spicy things and whatnot, but for others, I do like to try and step out of my comfort zone if they don't mind being a "test subject." >:3

 

[Oryx]

I put this bacon molasses seasoning in everything. Mashed potatoes, ramen, chicken, it's the best seasoning I've ever had and I'm obsessed with it. I think my boyfriend is tired of smelling it hahaha.

 

[Austin]

The past 3 times I've checked this thread the conversation has been about food, lol.

I pretty much can't stand food. I'm an insanely picky person, so I don't like to try new foods much. Although, I do like sweet foods.

 

[Meganium]

Interestingly, I just cooked some food myself. Fish, garnished with garlic & cilantro, with vegetable soup & garden salad. My family will loooooove it. <3

Seasoned salt is my secret ingredient. Crap, did I just said that?

Don't worry. I use that stuff a lot myself haha

 

[Shiny Celebi]

I dunno what Im eating for dinner but Im hungry. I like most food haha

 

[droomph]

On a scale of 1 to 10, how great is this new organization? :D

-1/10

It gave me STDs.

 

[Nihilego]
