RyokoTK posted:The funniest part of the recipe episodes, to me, isn't the recipes themselves. They're gross, but most of them aren't really that unusual or hard to imagine. It's more the completely hopeless white trash posting with glee about how delicious they are. Yum-o! That's why "To Serve Otherkin" is one of my favorite episodes -- the comedy isn't in the recipes, the comedy is the weirdos posting them. The recipes exist as a medium for people to reveal the depressing nihilistic void within themselves. Yes, exactly this. Though I do find myself thinking that the recipe episodes are starting to blunt with repetition, since that is what a lot of them boil down to, which can get repetitive. I wouldn't mind these episodes becoming a little less common to accrue more of the very worst, or having a unique angle like the Otherkin one did.

To be fair, this one did have a unique angle in the form of 'these are all calculated by a faceless food conglomerate to be likely causes for you, the consumer, to buy their products.' They expect you to look at these recipes and go 'why, yes, it is vital to my life that I go out and by some Kraft(TM) cheese so I can make this.'

Yeah, but it's not like this is a fantastic voyage we're on. I think all of us have had that moment when we've looked at the back of a bag of shredded cheese and noticed how weird it is that all of the ingredients are generic "ground beef, vegetable oil, salt to taste, Kraft (tm) Shredded Cheddar Delectables (tm) shredded cheddar cheese."

I don't usually like the recipe episodes but the latest one was quite good. To clarify I just mean they are my least favourite type not that they are bad. WikiHow having me in tears makes it hard for some other episodes to compare is all! Will there be a 200th episode special?

I hope the 200th episode is another miscellaneous topic spectacular, if only because I want them to read about stuff like the guy on the Silent Hill wiki having a meltdown about circumcision and other things that don't warrant a whole episode on their own.

Apparently circumcision is one of the main themes of Xenogears!

I take an awful lot of pride in my homemade mayo, and as delicious as it tastes, I gotta draw the line on putting in cake. Yeah the oil would make it moist but if moistness is what you want, why not just use plain oil, without the added mustard powder and vinegar etc?

FoxTerrier posted:I dunno man. Mayonnaise (bundt)cake was, afaik, invented as a stop gap solution for cases when you need to bake something as fast as possible (unexpected guests) or can't muster enough eggs and oil. It works fine in that regard since it's just substituting ingredients in one form for the same ingredients in a slightly different form.

But powdered mustard, lemon juice and vinegar render it more than a slightly different flavor palette...and one I have a really hard time seeing complemeting cake. I also doubt most people making mayonnaise cake are using homemade mayo rather than like, the crappy stuff out a jar, which taste significantly different and I haven an even harder time ever imagining working. TL/DR: I think you may need to wave the white flag on this one. Mayo cake is weird. Anyway, non cake content: Add me to the people that can't wait for another wikihow podcast. Those things are the *best* FoxTerrier fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Dec 15, 2015 |

I've had mayo bundt cake, it tastes slightly off and has an unpleasant texture, I wouldn't recommend it. It is however, probably better than coolwhip, canned peaches and 7-up jello, which barely counts as food, not to mention something that deserves a recipe.

I'd love to see another 'bad movie scripts' episode again eventually. I was just listening to Episode 41 recently and I maintain that the CSI script is easily the best thing ever featured on this wonderful podcast. "My name is SECTETARY".
