Several people on at least the Internet and probably the wider world have attempted to smoke meats with tobacco and it isn’t good. No idea if it’d still cure salmon the same way as wood smoke but I can say you wouldn’t want to eat it.
I could see at least trying a tabacco cold smoke salmon but it would have to be completely unprocessed tabacco. The stuff you find in cigarettes and pipe smoke is treated with acceleants so that it burns without a constant flow of air. Old cigarettes back in the early 1900’s used to go out if you didn’t keep puffing on them and those acceleants cause a lot of that acrid smell we associate with cigarettes and probably ruin the taste.
I smoke the brisket, then I smoke the weed. Brisket takes longer. More fuel. Gotta start it first. I’ve thought about a budder rub but that’d really be a waste. Also, I don’t want to medicate that much meat when I’m the only one in the house who smokes.
Yup, that was… oh shit… 22 years ago! And I still wear my Tripps on occasion. And my booty still looks good in them. And black eyeliner still looks good too! Goth life 4eva
I thought Lemmy was founded to get away from those type of shenanigans that happened all to often on reddit?
You thought wrong. Lemmy was created as a decentralized link aggregation platform for the fediverse. Also, Lemmy’s creators are not in charge of lemmy.world. That’s the whole point: people can create their own instances with their own rules and moderation philosophies without having to answer to any one ruling entity.
I’m fine on Lemmy.zip. TBH, it seems to be the instance where I see more of Lemmy than on any other instance. Guess that’s because they don’t really block many others or not many block them. My gripe is the censorship on that community especially since it seems to be the only active political community I’ve found with my shitty search skills. I’m sure there are other communities that censor like the authoritarian instances beehaw and lemmy.ml for example, but I haven’t really run into them yet.
This is why i love that movie, there’s no evil person but one who doesn’t want the restaurant to run by someone who can’t even cook nor run a business, and he doesn’t want the restaurant to shut down by health inspection. The crew quitting over it signified the seriousness of this issue. Linguini almost ruined the restaurant if not for Remy.
Nah. Confit byaldi is ludicrously haute-cuisine, needs three-star levels of manual prep work. The tag line is “Not everyone can be a great cook – but a great cook can come from anywhere”. And so can a good recipe or idea, that wasn’t ever new in French cuisine it’s been riffing off peasant recipes for ages, Escoffier did plenty of that.
Good food isn’t special in the sense that everyone so inclined, with enough obsession, can learn to combine aroma, to cook things to point, all that stuff, which is how excellent home cooks are made. What sets haute cuisine apart is the time and labour invested in every dish for increasingly diminishing returns.
Because of the health inspector, yes. The restaurant critic, now disgraced for having talked up an “unsanitary” restaurant, is eating at the new place, happy as a clam.
The social status and renown that comes with haute cuisine indeed is unimportant, it’s the food that’s important.
Social status and exclusivity plays into it in practice, for sure, in a right-out fetishistic sense: Like there’s chefs who have onions chopped so fine, using a special technique (not the usual chef technique you see) that they melt in the sauce, very labour-intensive. Now, having the onions melt into the sauce is a nice and valid thing, however, why in the everloving fuck aren’t you using a blender. Even if there’s a difference, which all my experience tells me there isn’t, it’s going to have such a minimal return on investment it’s utterly pointless but as an exercise in exclusivity.
Also I like my potato mash chunky but that’s another topic.
For that case we need to separate the two protagonists, Linguini and Remy. For the ending, i guess it’s fair to say Linguini ruined the restaurant as he invited rats into his restaurant and to cook, but if we look at Remy as a separated entity, then the restaurant closed down due to Remy’s and his family. The instance where Linguini almost ruined the restaurant is when a critic were served the same pot of soup he ruined, Remy saved the soup, thus saved the restaurant reputation.
I didn’t mean to suggest that. Simply that he was a business man doing business in a capitalist society. If you lose the talent of your main chef, what do you do? You ride his name and legacy for as long as you can.
I see your rizz and raise you a skibidi. (probably b/c I like the way that word sounds in my head… sk-i-bi-di do dah day 🎵 🎶 )
Also, rizz means “the ability to attract a romantic or sexual partner” so… now I have to think about GWB strutting his stuff, thanks for that:-P (that’s surely what made me think of my own word… gotta flush it out somehow?)
While that’s a nice sentiment that I agree with, you need to remember that those low paying jobs illegal immigrants often take, still pay far more than they could ever hope to make back home. Add to the low to nonexistent job skills and language issues, they start from far, far behind the eightball.
Having worked with large number of illegals back in the day, I found the vast majority to be quite genuinely nice people and co-workers. And they were some of the hardest workin’ sumbitches you would ever be around.
What I found interesting was the friction between the second and younger generations of Tex/Mex families and the newly arrived Mexicans, (I use Mexican to denote the actual country of origin here - sad that I need to do so). The first generation immigrants were very religious and conservative. While the second generations often adopted the more liberal attitudes of the locals. It caused a lot of ill undercurrents between the two groups.
ok, but we can’t just let people be underpaid because it’s more than people make in, and excuse me for using this term, third world shithole that barely has water infrastructure (I’m looking at you Serbia).
Sadly, it’s a chicken and egg situation. You can’t get a better job because you have no skills employers will pay more for. And you can’t very easily find a way to get those skills because you would get deported because you are somewhere illegally.
It makes for a complicated problem to solve. And I don’t have an answer other than to say that it’s on the first generation to make it so the following generations climb the ladder upwards.
