And they just straight up fucking ignore me when I tell them how to make it less shitty. Like this guy who just straight up dumps plain unmarinated tofu into the deep fryer, causing it to just shrivel up, dry out, have shit texture and no flavor, and then he's surprised when people don't eat it. Literally all he'd have to do to make it 20x better is marinate it in nothing but diluted soy sauce, it would absorb flavor and develop a good tasting savory crust when fried. But noooope! It takes literally no effort but he's not doing that

This chicken marsala I'm eating right now is dog shit and I KNEW it'd be dog shit because all he did was cut the chicken thighs in half, dredge it (in flour insufficiently seasoned) and deep fry it and then toss it in a sauce that was so thin it immediately ran off

Holy fucking fucked to death shit, how hard is it to rub the chicken the night before and let it develop some flavor? As it is, it's flavorless chicken with flavorless breading in a sauce that IMO shouldn't be allowed to call itself a sauce (i think if your sauce doesn't stick to shit there's no fucking point in using it)

But if I say anything about how the quality of food is the reason people aren't coming in to eat people act like i'm an asshole

The state of mass food serving here is so dire, we need to just straight up steal the idea of those temples that cook ENORMOUS pots of dal and stir it with a giant ladle:

Probably way, way cheaper too.

Jesus is he going to feed a thousand people

Since i just do the vegan stuff I usually expect to feed at most 50-60 people, I just use a big rondeau pan that's big enough to take up 4 burners on a stove

The temples i have heard about will feed anyone and everyone for free so he may well be

I've yet to find a temple that doesn't feed anyone for free at least once a day. Sikhs are cool dudes that have helped a lot of comrades out of tough spots.

At least a few hundred if this is a Gurdwara

in Bourdain's (i know) Part's Unknown they do a really good piece on the Golden Temple in Punjab. It's the first part of that episode, and I think you'd get a kick out of it.

here's a shitty pirate rip with non-english subs: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9onliu starts around 10 mins or so, a bit earlier

That video is good but the "shithole country" color filter is as egregious as I've ever seen lmfao

[–] take_five_moments@hexbear.net 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i have some personal rips of the show and the filter isn't too bad on them. i'm sure it's something to do with it being a reupload of a reupload of a tv broadcast in vietnam or something.
