If you put a can of beer in the wine section, it's now wine. If you have a drinking problem and are in the wine section, you're wine. Infallible definition.

In a fit of new year stupidity I signed up for a vegetable box delivery. Anyone know what a human does with a celeriac? Also I see Sadiq has announced that London's health service is fully collapsing, great stuff.

Isn't a skidpan the metal sheet you can have put on the bottom of your car so if you hit rocks they don't gently caress up the gubbins?

justcola posted:Any sort of chat about fine dining or artisan foods are what I dislike most about food and drink because it feels like gatekeeping or snobbery and "ohhhh you need to try this". I just like £1 frozen pizzas and a cigarette for dessert Although this can also be true in the inverse, in that things that are expensive to make / import suddenly become luxuries for the rich who want to one-up each other, and if you don't like the taste then obviously you're not cultured enough to appreciate it. On the other hand, smoking damages your tastebuds so it's possible that you just can't taste the difference between things with your broken mouth. There's the cost of equipment as well, like with coffee makers. Most people can afford a kettle and some instant granules to make their miserable shift a little easier. Not everyone can afford even a basic coffee maker and the cost of a bunch of pods and syrups. And if you're low on cash and choosing between one latte for £3 or a jar of granules that'll last 2 weeks, the choice is obvious. Like Jamie Oliver looking down his nose at people for not using fresh grown herbs from the pantry, when the person watching his tutorial is trying to prep everything on the one free counter in their flat and has to scrape the spices out of the jar because of the damp.

I like coffee enough that I'll probably get a Nespresso machine or similar at some point, but not enough that I could even begin to be hosed with a proper machine or timings or whatever. I think that's down to laziness more than taste though. Couldn't begin to differentiate different bean types or anything like that, but it's incredibly easy to tell if they're relatively fresh or stale as year old bread by smell, and that's as far as I care.

Pantsmaster Bill posted:I just like the ritual of making fancy pour over coffee in the morning. It’s nice to take a few minutes to make something nice, and it’s nice to buy beans from a local roaster who can tell me where they were grown and have a higher likelihood that they are getting paid more fairly. This. Humans seem to like rituals, but for a given set of things that many people do (food, coffee, exercise, music), different people choose different things to be ritualistic about. For example, I hate food and wish it would go away, but some people really miss eating out because they like the ritual. Similarly I enjoy my vinyl because of the ritual, but don't get snobby about how others choose to enjoy music. Basically, let people enjoy the "bad" (low effort) versions of things. stev posted:I got that Hotel Chocolat hot chocolate machine for Christmas and it's great. I mean all it does is heat and whisk milk and chocolate flakes together but it's so much better than the sugary powders you usually get. Especially when it's actually good quality chocolate. Oh My God. Trambapoline! (I want one)

JollyBoyJohn posted:You hate food? I may have ruined her theory by cooking her proper lasagne. E: I've had days when I've been on a gaming streak or really into something I'm doing on the PC, and thought 'poo poo I'm hungry / it's time for food, I could really do with not having to spend an hour preparing, eating & washing up' and have made a pot noodle instead. So if there was a star trek TOS style meal pill, I would absolutely just eat a few of those cold and then get back to what I was doing.

Mano posted:Uuuh, but dry/sec is the sweet wine? Que? How can dry wine be sweet? Dry wine is hideously bitter and undrinkable. I find the more expensive the wine, the more bitter and dry it tastes. White piat d'or always seems a bit posh to me while being also fairly drinkable. Food issues: All my family have them. There is not one person from mother down to great grand kids who doesn't have food issues, including my brothers. Family meals are huge bones of contention and are never relaxed.

People should drink their coffee however they like or not drink it at all, who cares. But imo you don't get anywhere near the same effect if it's isn't black like tar.

I got a v60 for pour over at the start of the first lockdown and subscribed to a local roaster who sends out fresh beans every week or so, and it's muuuch cheaper than when I was at the office buying it. And it's also lightyears more tasty than instant. If you're someone who drinks coffee every morning I can't recommend it enough. Just get a v60, some filters, a cheap burr hand grinder, a £10 scale on amazon that goes to .1 grams and you can make insanely tasty coffee every day for very little effort.

^^^ How much is a v60? Because I often find when people say something is not that expensive, what they mean it that it's not that expensive,* relatively** speaking.*** * if you have a 50k+ salary ** to the GDP of Monaco *** Lies JollyBoyJohn posted:Wow that's actually pretty depressing to hear. So like does she not enjoy chocolate? I suppose it's the difference between getting to 6 o'clock and thinking 'gently caress, I'd better stop what I'm doing and eat something so I don't die' rather than thinking 'Yay, it's 6, what deliciousness can I enjoy tonight?'

I'd have thought those would mostly amount to, "Get the right tyres and drive extremely slowly if you absolutely must drive at all" Every year I’ve eyed up getting a set of used alloys and some winter tyres to swap out but with the relatively mild winters we get in the South East I’ll never ever make the cost back. I’ve been driving for 7 years and in that time have only spent 1 day commuting sideways and 1 day missed entirely.

Yeah it's this. Might have been exaggerating slightly, and I have been enjoying cooking things this pandemic, but especially public eating and being judged for what I'm eating, and the rituals surrounding formal communal eating - shudder. The formaler, the worser.

The formaler, the worser. I understand that much much more than someone saying they "hate food" but then my single biggest takeaway from lockdown is that i really really miss going out for tea. Not trying to belittle though. I could never understand people who take a dump in the office until there started to be 5 people in here instead of 50.

Yeah this is what I do, it was like £40 for all the equipment and £7.50 a week for coffee and it’s so much better than buying it from almost anywhere. I’m fully convinced that most people who hate coffee hate it because they’ve only ever had bad coffee. My fiancée couldn’t understand how I could drink it black but now she does too, so long as I’m making it.

I’ve been lucky enough to have loads of supposedly great coffee all over the world and I must be a total philistine because what I actually like is instant / “filter coffee” in large amounts. When I was in Brazil people looked at me like I was crazy for wanting just a big mug of black coffee that tasted like burnt tar instead of a tiny, sophisticated little espresso cup.
