Well obviously you're supposed to take multiple steps in tofu preparation before you replace the eggs 1 for 1 because otherwise it won't work right but I figured a forum full of cooking goons would know that.

If I wasn't currently limited mobility, even further limited by the ice poo poo storm we had Saturday and Sunday, I would offer to pick them up and ship them to you, but alas!

Some guy on reddit agreed to eat a dick if some comment was "gilded" 400 times (each guilding costs $5) Of course they did it, but the dud actually follwed through. No one sold dicks in his town, so he bought some beef dog chews from Petco made of beef pizzle I'll let the video speak for itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4WoVMWn154

^^^ Agreed. His method is good, but I do scrambled eggs a few different ways, all with excellent results.GrAviTy84 posted:tofu scrambles are the saddest friggin things Yup. Although last week the GF got some frozen vegan burritos in the mail for review, and the breakfast burrito was surprisingly good. Wasn't straight tofu, though, was tofu and TVP. And it was very well seasoned.

SubG posted:I think it's hilarious that the internet has attributed scrambled loving eggs to Gordon Ramsay. I mean power to the people, it's great people are learning poo poo, and all that. But it ain't even like some spergy refinement of some classic thing like you see Keller or Blumenthal or whoever doing. It's just the standard default loving thing. Except I guess at like loving Denny's or whatever. You'be got to admit that most breakfast joints make them by frying up egg product or just whipping eggs and frying them until they're anywhere from sorta-spongy to tough and spongy. Ramsay / Julia eggs are the poo poo when you get over the idea that scrambled have to be firm. Plus you can add cream cheese at the end to halt the cooking instead of milk. Makes it so drat silky.

My point is that most restaurants that serve scrambled eggs do it lovely. You're saying that "it's hilarious that the internet" only eat at poo poo stains like Denny's. Hell every single diner I've been to do it the same lovely way. Ok, if I want to drop $30+ on breakfast, sure I can get "correct" scrambled eggs. You're being unnecessarily elitist by being amazed that most folks don't drop that much cash on something most people skip anyway. I mean you're making fun of a dude for being proud that his SO loves his cooking. Great attitude in a cooking forum. But sure, keep being smug I guess?

SubG posted:Not sure what you're arguing here, or think I am. Yeah, you can get lovely scambled eggs at lovely restaurants, especially if your frame of reference is a place like Denny's. But the `Ramsay method' is what you would expect to get by default in France, for example. It's literally the way scambled eggs are defined in Larousse. But it isn't in most of the US and you know that.

That part is fine. The part where you act like french style scrambled eggs are in any way the standard everywhere or that only lovely places serve scrambled eggs any other way is the part that makes you sound like an elitist gently caress. I've worked in some pretty drat decent restaurants and scrambled eggs for brunch weren't sent out dry but weren't made with creme fraiche either, because that isn't the standard in the US.

Yeah, this. The vast majority of the US eats dry, hard scrambled eggs. And likes them. The first time I watched Ramsey's video, the first comment was "EWWW they are so runny! If I ever order scrambled eggs in England, I'll have make sure that I order them 'well done'!!!"

Nah, you can make runny, delicious scrambled eggs without creme fraiche or cream cheese by just adding a splash of milk or cream to the eggs before you beat them. I've always eaten them that way, even as a kid.

Comparing how Ramsay prepares scrambled eggs to how Olive loving Garden prepares pasta must be the harshest insult I've ever seen levied at the guy. I mean one is just a different way of preparing a basic dish while the other basically is a warcrime.

Haha, I just don't like being told that you might as well just eat Olive Garden and Taco Bell if you don't make your eggs with creme fraiche. I agree that it's funny that Ramsay is now the inventor of a method that's been around for literal centuries, but just because people make scrambled eggs differently in a different country (where using things like creme fraiche is a relative rarity most places) doesn't mean that anyone who does that might as well be eating trash food, since their palate is obviously not adult enough for Real Scrambled Eggs.

He's not insulting Gordon Ramsay, he's comparing Ramsay's egg technique (i.e. the standard, traditional way of cooking scrambled eggs) to traditional Italian cooking. In this analogy, Olive Garden is the dry, rubbery scrambled eggs of the Italian food world. esperantinc posted:I can't be the only one that calls it the Ramsay method based on the fact that it was his video that was my first exposure to scrambled eggs made that way. Well, yeah, that's why anyone who calls it the Gordon Ramsay method calls it that, but that doesn't mean it's not a little ridiculous considering it is the classic way of cooking scrambled eggs. The only reason it's so new and novel is because for some goddamn reason a significant portion of Americans have this idea that runny eggs = raw = poison, so everything from boiled to scrambled is overdone.
