I personally dislike the corn but not enough to complain about it. The ice doused in a gallon of rose syrup and condensed milk is the star anyway.

Those restaurants always get slammed when the health inspector comes around for not having any way to adequately sanitize the wacky poo poo they serve food on.

That's always my first thought whenever I see any of the crazy non-plate serving items. Sanitation in restaurants can be dodgy enough without making it difficult to clean serving items.

The real question is: Are there actually people who give a poo poo about food bloggers' life stories, or does no one give a poo poo but the food bloggers think they do?

I've heard it's because you can't copyright recipes but that sounds like bullshit.

The only time I have ever read the non-recipe part of an internet recipe post is when it's Kenji on Serious Eats explaining the science of why this fried chicken batter crisps better, since that is actually interesting and useful.

I think it's just simply search engine maximization cargo culting. Like you're more likely to get placement if you talk about the chicken soup because the crawler will rank a recipe alone as content light and unimportant.

Even if it's not true it's been enshrined as food blogging 101.

E. Or partly because your search engine cookies/account has meta data about your interests so like if you Google snow boarding a lot, when you Google chicken soup you might get a blog about shredding the slopes then making chicken soup in your results. I don't know, SEM has always sounded insane.

So why not put the recipe at the start and the dumb boring stories after?

Some food bloggers try to cheat by writing several paragraphs about each individual ingredient and instruction: "50g fresh chives, roughly chopped - my grandmother used to say that chives were fairy grass and as a child :words: "

It's correct that copyright doesn't cover recipes, but adding a bunch of fluff story doesn't really change that. Someone could just pull out the actual recipe part and reprint it. Also if you include long descriptions or pictures those are covered by copyright.

If that's the case, I figure Budget Bytes has a better way of doing it - instead of a bunch of :words: no one cares about, make the extra content a more detailed explanation of how to make the recipe(with pictures!) and suggestions about alternative ingredients & what to serve the dish with.

Of course, I'm sure that droning on about your family and the first time you had mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving dinner is easier to mindlessly poo poo out than that stuff, which is why so many food bloggers do it.

I'd agree, but it's grape jelly and sweet french dressing. Sugar and sugar. It's not like pork and apple or duck and cherries. It's flavoured corn syrup and flavoured corn syrup with highly processed sausage.

Apparently kids love it.




(Maple syrup and soy does sound like a drat good combination. Might try it.)

I don't think it's designed to taste like much of anything. I was a weird kid and tried a few kinds of cat kibble, dog kibble, and milkbone. It all pretty much taste like gritty grains. Cat Chow had a bit of a tangy flavour, dog food had very little flavour at all. Probably similar to the flavour of Ensure or Soylent, if they had an unsweetened version with no artificial flavour, but grittier. Did I mention it's quite gritty? Probably the ground up chicken bones.


In Mary Roach's book "Gulp!" she goes to a pet-food manufacturing facility and gets to talk to the folks who flavour pet-food. They have jars of liquid pyrophosphates, the primary "palatants" in kibble, sitting around, and so Mary, uh, well, she...

She takes a sip.

To quote, "Enough stalling. Time to try the palatant. I raise the cup to my nose. It has no smell. I roll some over my tongue. All five kinds of taste receptors stand idle. It tastes like water spiked with strange. Not bad, just other. Not food."

They're a ripoff of Uncrustables.

Of course, that only kicks the can down the road to the question of why Uncrustables exist.

This was the ungodliest time ever to live in. Capitalism, sexism and excess were the only religion.

There are short, hoarse gulps of sorrow, but no water to cry, no sound. She can barely make out the tinny scratch of 'You Belong to Me' from the neighbour's wireless radio. Stalking. Mocking.
