Lol these are always funny. Look up people complaining about a "leaf" in their food when the recipe uses Bay Leaf. It's like complaining someone put leaves in your tea.
Leaves obviously don't belong into tea. Everyone knows tea grows when you hang those little paper bags on a tree. And depending on the kind of tree, you get a different type of tea.
Right and chocolate milk comes from brown cows.
This is actually a common misconception. The truth is any cow can produce chocolate milk. The misconception comes from brown cows featured on the majority of chocolate milk cartons.
I will say though, I've had curry where the bay leaf is chopped up which makes it rather obnoxious.
Sure that wasn't a curry leaf? Either way I'd agree they're beat removed before serving.
Aren't bay leaves supposed to be removed after cooking?
Big pot of something and hope you find all the bay leaves. You might pull some out, think you've got them all but they like to hide.
I've always tied them or used a little net bag to keep them together and easy to remove.
They're supposed to bc they're easy to remove. I'd feel better they remain in there bc it's easy to remove and means they're using better quality ingredients more likely. It's no big deal to take them out
I always leave them in because pulling them out is more trouble than it's worth. I'm lazy as hell, but I'm also cooking for just my wife and I.
Literally worst case nobody's going to crack a tooth or something. They get a spoonful of soup with a big leaf in it and they just put the leaf aside.
Yes but for whatever reason I've often seen it left in and the person eating simply removes them.
We were at a very authentic Chinese restaurant and and a family showed up and asked waiter for recommendations they said the roast duck is very good which is very true. The roast duck shows up to their table and the guy takes a bite and bites straight into bone and he starts loudly complaining how there's bones in it and why isn't there meat and that chicken has a lot more meat and why doesn't the duck have more meat and that this is a rip off and then it's all bones and he's mad that they sold him this. The restaurant ended up taking back the dish and giving them a refund simply because of the customers ignorance it was so cringe.
Never let that guy try frog's legs.
I bet he'd like eating boners
They're practically all meat
Well, the human ones anyway...
This is exactly why some Chinese restaurants have a special Chinese menu that you need to ask for.
To be fair, not every Chinese restaurant knows how to slice duck properly. The proper way slices the meat and skin off of the bones, so that each piece has a bit of meat and skin, and presents the flesh separately from the bones.
Some places though just hack into the carcass so that every piece has bone. They say it's 'fun.' I as an ethnic Chinese say it's ridiculous. I have had it done right and I have had it done poorly and surprisingly the price point is the same! Some places really skimp on the seasoning too, at the same price point.
Other dishes tend to be fairly similar across different restaurants but it seems like with duck you can really tell who gives a shit / was trained properly as a chef.
Uh...
What you are describing is how, specifically, Beijing Roast Duck is served. China is a huge country with a bewildering variety of cultures within it. There are a million ways to prepare and serve duck here, and many of them do what you describe as "ridiculous" as the normal way to do it.
Instead of parading your ethnicity, thinking it's a shield, how 'bout you come here and spend a few years and learn?
What's the secret phrase to say to see the secret Chinese menu?
They would generally know if you are speaking Chinese. Otherwise "I would like to see the secret Chinese menu." would probably work, if they have one.
I don't speak Mandarin so the first option wouldn't work. If I used the second option though they'd be like, "How did our secret get out?!"
Reminds me of people complaining their vanilla flavored things having nasty little black dots.
The guy couldn't just bring it to the staff and ask them what it is?
Sounds like it was a takeaway. You still think you’d call though if you found “a plastic handle” in your food and “had to throw the rest away”.
And interact with another human being? When you could simply complain online and get likes? Do you live in a cave or something?
Dude couldn't tell the difference between plastic and tree bark!?
The fuck is a tree? You mean those sticks in a car park?
I live in Minnesota, and people here are very sheltered about food. I could tell a lot of stories, but I once ate nearby an elderly woman who refused to eat her enchilada because she assumed the tortilla was paper. I am not joking.
When an American goes to an Arabic or Indian restaurant 😂
There are dozens more countries you can add to that list. Cooking with whole spices is incredibly common
That cinnamon? I always thought it was a piece of a pepper. At least I knew it was food and not a broken utensil.
When people are way too smug about their wrong answer.
