Facebook Aunt posted:When I worked in a Mcdonalds in Canada back in 1991 we used real eggs. People claimed we used powdered eggs or some kind of egg mix back then too. I don't know if they've ever used egg substitute, or if it is just inconceivable to the human mind that they might be using anything natural so people keep assuming it must be egg substitute. there are long-standing rumors that KFC uses some kind of horrible mutant animal that isn't really chicken and that Arby's roast beef comes in powdered form. people are really stupid about fast food

I worked in the dining hall during university and we had big cartons of those eggs. People complimented our scrambled eggs all the time. I wasn't a big fan of eggs at the time, so I didn't notice them tasting horrible, but the sight made me gag a little.

Alaois posted:there are long-standing rumors that KFC uses some kind of horrible mutant animal that isn't really chicken and that Arby's roast beef comes in powdered form. KFC buys the same chicken as everyone through whichever local distributor offers the best price. Most chicken places buy their chicken separately from the normal distribution. They come frozen, usually mixed pieces unless the store wants to separate the chickens themselves in which case they come fresh. As I recall, KFC does 8 pieces per head. Places that sell leg and thigh together do 6 per head. Arbys gets their Roast Beef in big squishy bags. They feel like a bag of goo but there is regular meat in there. It's just the liquid on the outside. It then gets taken out of the bag and roasted, or in the case of one store I worked with when I supported POS systems, boiled in the bag, and then sliced. I don't know how common the boiling method is, but it apparently works. It's Arby's. You'll never notice the difference. It always sounds good but never fails to disappoint. I do like their curly fries though.

I've never figured out just how a place that prides itself on meat sandwiches has only one really good thing on the menu, and that one's made of potatoes. (Well, and the chocolate turnovers, which probably come in frozen, too.)

stefania_r posted:Camping Lifehacks Part XXXVI: Return of the Shoe Organizer This is from forever ago, but as a professional camper who just got back from two nights in the backcountry, I have to give this my two cents. I just point my headlamp at what I need to see, works like a charm. Illuminating your campsite deprives you of seeing the starry night sky. I have both a foampad AND an air mattress, I use the pad anytime I have to walk more than 2 km to my campsite because at that point I'm already carrying loads of gear and I don't need to add 10 pounds of delicate rubber that could just get destroyed and then I'm right proper hosed at being insulated from the ground. My air mattress is mostly used for drive-in or walk-in car camping where I expect to get completely wasted and want the luxury of a mattress to pass out on. What the gently caress is a camp kitchen? Just put your poo poo out on your picnic table like a normal person. I just squash a partial roll of toilet paper flat and stick it in a ziplock bag to waterproof it. Weighs nothing and takes up very little space, and can be carried in your pocket for easy transport! Whoever needs to put it in a cylindrical container is a weirdo and probably a prissy baby. These hacks suck if you're a real camper.

Haifisch posted:Fried potatoes are a lot harder to gently caress up than meat, especially in a fast food "do it NOW" setting. Mystery solved. If they had any sense at all, they'd at least try to make the sandwiches at least as good as the fries, is what I'm saying. And the curly fries aren't fantastic, just pretty good.

I think it's more a 'hide your shameful used toilet paper' thing than a need for something that big. When I've been camping in areas where you're not supposed to bury or burn your used paper I'd just put it in a ziploc bag

LOVE LOVE SKELETON posted:sous vide is really a convenience/food safety boon, yeah? not much of a selling point, unless you want to paint your non-sous'd products as dangerous Well you can really jam-pack meatw with flavor and keep it at a low temp that you otherwise couldn't. Before sous vide, you could braise cheap meat with a bunch of herbs, spices, and aromatics, and after 6-8 hours at like 275 it would be fall apart tender and full of flavor, but obviously cooked to well done. You could sear your nice cuts, and impart some flavor with a marinade, but that would be very subtle. With sous vide, you can take middle of the road cuts, like top sirloin or flank, cryo vac it with whatever herbs and aromatics you want, have it in a 130 bath for 12 hours, and get a very flavorful, perfect medium rate every time with a quick sear in cast iron. At my restaurant we do a bone in pork chop that we sous vide in bacon fat, garlic, bay leaf, rosemary, and thyme. 3 hours at 145. The end product is an infinitely more flavorful and tender cut than would be possible any other way, and comes out a perfect medium every time. We advertise the pork as sous vide. We don't advertise the chicken breasts that we do at 152 for 2 hours in oil, garlic, and bay leaf. But it is also the most delicious an moist chicken I've ever had after 5 minutes on the grill. And perfectly safe at a lower tempurature, which is the point you were making. For that reason, I could see advertising it as sous vide if it were more of a staple menu item (we just add our chicken to salads and such). You know that a sous vide half chicken is going to be much more moist and flavorful than its roasted counterpart. om nom nom has a new favorite as of 05:28 on Jun 6, 2016 |

I and a lot of other people are kind of icked out by the whole cooking food in plastic bags thing. I know on a rational level that it's almost certainly harmless but there's still a small sliver of doubt in the back of my mind, and I think a lot of my circle would find it pretty alarming, so I wouldn't really want to serve anything sous vide to them without first telling them.

What are you concerned about? The plastic leeching out? That happens at like 250-350 degrees C or some stupid high number liquid water can't even touch. At least for food grade materials. Sous vides only fault comes from foodies being all smug douche about it. Edit: \/ yeah I should have added that the plastic be food grade and safe for that temperature. Go microwave a sandwich bag yes that'll be sticky. Islam is the Lite Rock FM has a new favorite as of 12:51 on Jun 6, 2016 |

If you're microwaving something in a sandwich bag, that's not a good idea. However, most sous vide setups are significantly more robust. Also, lifehack: sous vide your used toilet paper. Walla.

To be honest, many of the people who graduate with the degree I'm taking become backcountry guides, thus get paid to camp. While I don't have a proper job yet, I am the one who plans, coordinates, and leads every outdoor excursion I go on whether it's a half-day hike or a 100km+ backpacking trip. It's kind of my thing and I obsess over outdoors and camping like MRAs obsess with how much of a victim they are.
