Edgar Allen Ho posted:A lot of people also forget that they had the technology of “don’t kill the animal till you will eat it” This is still how a decent portion of the meat supply chain works in China. Pigs are slaughtered in the outskirts of the city in the morning, brought to the markets, butchered, sold, you cook it that day. It's never refrigerated anywhere in the process. Works fine as long as it was actually done that day and not last week.

Like they'd have ducks walking around the garden and you went "yeah I'm gonna eat that one". Didn't see any pigs tho but I swear I heard some. Huge-rear end fish in too-small tanks was p common.

Yeah some duck and chicken places have them alive. The live fish tanks out front are common in Korea too. Easy to spot a seafood restaurant.  There are trucks full of tanks that come by in the morning to deliver the fish.

I recall reading a guide about carving a duck tableside where there's some etiquette thing where you can't spin the object around to get a better angle, so there's a weird technique for carving the opposite side of a duck for instance. However I think that guy has a poo poo knife and not enough practice, but he's probably has to cut the bladder in such a way for a particular reveal.

Why in gently caress is there etiquette for that, other than 'rich people are weird'? Stupid rules are meant to be broken.

hawowanlawow posted:I told them to do it that way  I own a 1940s etiquette book that belonged to my grandmother (b. 1917). The rules in it can be divided into three categories: common sense stuff that is regularly still done, old fashioned stuff that's still done sometimes but not always, and ridiculous poo poo like "men must order for the woman at restaurants". This rule belongs safely in the third category. F_Shit_Fitzgerald has a new favorite as of 20:02 on Feb 7, 2024 |

I have a book that's all excerpts from old etiquette books, and there was a whole thing about the Head of the Household carving the meat. You had to know exactly what you were doing to cut perfect, even slices, and you had to do it sitting down.

Obviously there is a rich people art to slicing open bladders. Too fast and piss steam simply dissipates (pissipates?) too quickly. The piss steam must flow for at least 8 seconds, but no more than 15, lest your extravagant wealth and excessiveness be compared to that of the petit bourgeoisie. Too slow and The Help wielding serving forks and knives have time to consider their lowly station. Also, the piss steam becomes piss condensate which is uncouth.

To be fair, if he's not careful he'll make just enough of a hole in the bladder that it will fly off around the room emitting a farty noise. And while we all want to see that, it's not great for anyone actually wanting to eat that awful looking bird.

Looks like under-cooked ridge-cut oven chips, fishfingers, peas, tartar sauce and dill sprigs, for the gourmet touch. Everything looks cold and leathery.

To be honest the “dessert sauce” on the left looks, at best, marginally less dubious.

the toxic waste sour slime syrup seems like a totally acceptable vaguely fun thing for a child. I can picture myself being into that when i was like 11 or whatever. the wham dessert sauce is definitely the curse there also if the fish n chips tray had some kind of actual chips instead of chips, id probably be into it as some kind of lazy but fine pile of food. The potato chips are just insulting, though.
