I should call my mother and grandmother for knowing how to cook and teaching me how, 'cause wtf.

It's like the mingled vomit you see in the gutter outside a row of take-aways and off-licenses on saturday mornings.

edit: Jesus gently caress - the 'gravy' is soup.

I know every country has its own extremely weird and nasty foods so I'm not going to get all high-horsey about the actual ingredients, but I do think it's a bit thick to call it 'Havanese'.

I mean, I could mix marmalade, sour cream, tealeaves, chocolate syrup and lime juice up with some cold pudding rice but I'm not going to call it a 'thai bowl' to try to trick people into eating it.

No you're right, it's definitely not cool. It's probably racist af as it was mostly a trend in Southern families in the 70's and 80s. Behold the wonders of Southern racism.

Up to the cheese I'm like okay I can imagine this being tasty and then it goes out of its loving mind.

I’m going to submit my own AFP. I braised some deer shanks on the bone for Thanksgiving. It’s my favorite thing how it basically turns into meat aspic.




It’s good as gently caress though.

I saw the Thanksgiving episode of Friends yesterday where two pages of Rachel's cookbook stick together and she winds up making English shepherd's pie trifle for dessert. It's kind of amazing to see something so similar being made on purpose.

A bunch of people made them for lols this year for whatever reason. Maybe people do it every year and I've never noticed, but it seemed to be a bit of a thing on a small part of the internet this year.

The reason is that YouTube’s favorite chef made it, and life imitates art.

I’ve never read a more desperate recipe. Lady your food is disgusting and no amount of dolling it up with designs and hail marying a bible quote is gonna change that you’re just forcing people to eat a garbage dump to make yourself feel better

I’m not making GBS threads on him. I’m saying that the food he makes in the first part of his videos, where he recreates the something based solely on the descriptions and ingredients in whatever work of fiction he’s referencing, is usually gross and inedible,as per his own admission. When he makes his own version it’s usually good and cool.

I subbed to that fools channel way before he was an internet billionaire. (As most people on SA probably did)

Sound a bit like Tumpeng. They make a cone shape mountain of rice and surround it with meat, egg, veg and salad dishes. I'd love a buffet with rendang curry, coconut , chicken satay skewers, gado gado etc with some warm fish, egg and veg salads

We... well, they, always called it Hawaiian Haystacks here. I called it "I'm not that hungry, but thanks anyways" and raided the fridge when I got home.

There was also the Mexican Pile-On, but that was just deluxe nachos.

I can see it being a mix of the two, where a military chef has to turn Thanksgiving leftovers into a meal for 1000 hungry troops, knows about rijsttafel, and scales up the recipe and makes it a layered dish so it can be served cafeteria style with a giant spoon. At some point "It's like a dinner in Java called rijsttafel" became "Javanese Dinner" and all the GIs coming back from the war talk about it.
