As way of apology for threadshitting, here is what happens when you have no jambalaya rules: This is a nutria if you weren't aware.  As part of a Kickstarter campaign some dudes ate a lot of swamp rat.

I like foodchat in this thread, good or bad. Should I look into some of the GWS threads even if I'm probably not gonna make anything myself?

SymmetryrtemmyS posted:Sounds like a rationalization for "I know it when I see it." This will not do. We need precise categories for our food, or how will we know whether we're eating a cake or a stew? Or, God forbid, a sandwich? It might be all three. Just as a single tree is still a tree even when it's part of a forest, a cake is still a cake when it's part of a stew. Croutons are cake, salad is a stew, a salad with croutons is a stew that contains cake. This isn't complicated.

When we were 18 or so, my friend and I went to some farmer's market because he heard there was chocolate covered gummy bears there. We got there and they only sold them in five gallon tubs... so that's what we bought. It was harder to eat them when he accidentally left them next to the radiator and we had to slice out pieces of the remaining brick with a knife. cash crab posted:I need to tell another gross food story. cash crab posted:What do you take me for? I'm assuming GWS is just actually legitimate help on how to cook foods instead of mostly jokes.

SLOSifl posted:I went to a Subway in Columbus, Ohio during a cross country drive. My friend and I still bring that place up ten years later. The reason we remember it is because the dude working there made loving perfect sandwiches. We got back to the hotel room and opened our sandwiches, and both just stopped and said "holy poo poo". They looked exactly like a promotional picture, even after being wrapped up. It's not that Subway tastes bad, but I hate myself every time I go there. How is it that a "Sandwich Artist" can't manage an Italian. Asking me for accessorials is fine, but why do I have to define every single Christing thing on the sandwich? Why do they even have a menu? Why can't I say, "An Italian add hot peppers"? That should be sufficient. What kind of bread? What meat? What cheese? Toasted? What veggies? What sauce? For the love of god, it's a goddamn Italian. Just make it.

They're fast food workers who are trained to do things a certain way and probably know better than to trust that the customer knows what they're talking about without specifying. Fast food customers are idiots and will complain about anything that's even a little bit off from what they were expecting. You might know what an Italian is but I bet there's some crazy rear end in a top hat who KNOWS that Italian subs have turkey and bacon

Apparently this is some dutch ham loaf in a sauce. I love the lunch meat with some sriracha and swiss cheese, but this is doing a good job of turning me off that.

Leaving aside the first one (is that tortilla puree?), I see chips and layered dip; a burrito bowl sans tortilla; bullshit foam'n'crumbs; chips and layered dip again; just, like, a plate of ingredients; what passes for tortilla in this last one?

Foam is not a food. It can be on my beer, used to shave with or to put out a fire, But it is never to be considered a food.

It's just a way of saying "sloppy as hell". Another buzzword for this is "rustic", although with that it could also just mean "we put it on a wooden plank instead of a plate". If you watch shows like cutthroat kitchen, just listen to how people describe their dishes when they've hosed up severely - 9 times out of 10 it's "deconstructed" and/or "rustic".

Generally it actually does mean "taken apart into component pieces and rearranged." Usually this is a bad idea. I suspect that a good source of AFP is a google image search for the phrase "deconstructed [name of popular food]."

I won't argue that most molecular gastronomy stuff is pretty terrible, but I will go down swinging for Jose Andres and Ferran Adria's contributions. I think they're pretty much the only two people in the world to really get it right.

PCOS Bill posted:No rules! This makes me sadder than most of the poo poo in this thread. Because you know the person who made it thinks its a good appetizer plate even though it's just a mass of generic as gently caress salami, canned olives and brie. Even the Brits get it better because at least they gave us Huntsman cheese. Maybe it's because I grew up in an Italian family, and in Italian culture there is a huge amount of importance placed on the appetizer/antipasto plates. Mainly because most Italian food is made of cheap stuff (Lasagna, Manicotti, etc are mostly sauce/pasta/cheese) so the way you show off to your guests/neighbors is how many kinds of cured meats you can slam on a plate.
