all bougie fries worth a damn are attempting to recreate mcdonalds fries so i'm pretty sure this is a widely held opinion among the pros

“small plates” and “share plates” are just bougie excuses for not giving me a normal amount of food winco fried chicken is great & cheapcold leftover spaghetti sandwiches rule (homemade spag bol is good for this but canned spaghetti is best) pomegranates are better as juice & artichokes are better in jars - too much work in their natural state

ok one i actually believe is small plates and share plates are an excuse for the restaurant to run their service like shit and not course out the meal properly

i actually have a friend who we like to share a little of each of each other's food but tbf that doesn't actually require serving mini-meals that cost $9, you can just share full entrees.

Midwest pizza styles, particularly Chicago deep-dish and Detroit-style buttery crust, are streets ahead of New York styles.
Same with midwest IPAs (especially St Louis) vs. their northeast cohorts.

Church's Fried Chicken (which I haven't had in 20 years) was real good, precisely because it tasted exactly like the old Swanson's TV Dinners.

Have realised that I and my wife have the culinary tastes of people in their 90s (we are both 43) - sweet sherry, cream liquers, wafer biscuits, rum baba, pork scratchings. even our kids have picked up our taste for Brussels sprouts and haggis.but now I realise that this isn't about tastes, it's beliefs, hold on, got some of those too.

Best, most neglected flavours for things: mint, pear. I will find French import shops to buy mint cordial every summer, and will always get a pear ice lolly if it's ever available

Ok, thought of one. Every chain restaurant/bakery in the UK is bad. including bakeries because Greggs, there is nothing good in there, nothing. Their pizza is an absolute crime. I honestly don't know why nobody seems to have noticed.Since moving back to the UK in 2016 I have tried every chain restaurant, think the worst is Itzu, but all were some shade of bad.

I used to like the Itsu brand udon noodle pots when they had chunkier noodles, but then they decided to change what didn't need changing. Their seaweed thins are nice though, but too expensive.

if I were to pin down what I don't like about it:* UK Asian fusion restaurants are always bad, putting very different kinds of food together in clumsy, insulting ways* "Heathy" focus means piling up dishes with cold edamame beans and uncooked carrot, and not adding any salt or msg, nothing tastes of anything at all.

most of the things i make with garlic are just as good with garlic i can keep in my fridge. i have tried it both ways (fresh/jar) and this is the way that works for me if i want to actually make my own food, which i do. no one has ever complained about it either.
depending on what type of garlic you have, (I am obv biased but Californian is generally better than Chinese imports) refrigerated garlic is great, and is what I use. I generally get CR crushed, but if I was doing more cooking, I'd have a jar of crushed and a jar of minced for different things.

Small plates is just how it goes in a lot of parts of the world that don't have the starter/main/dessert structure of European food (not an uncool opinion, just following up on this).

around 2000 whenever I took a trip to London I actually looked forward to eating at Pret, I would have the coronation chicken sandwich, it had decent not-half-frozen bread, well-seasoned chicken, raisins, mayonnaise and nothing else. now if I go in there they have nothing I want to eat, all the sandwiches are half-frozen clammy slivers of bread with layers of salad leaves and no condiments to be found anywhere inside, just like everywhere else in London with their sad fridges full of sad sandwiches. I will say that their delivery service seems to be a little better for some reason.

Steak is bad and one-note. No combination of flavors, seasonings, or textures, just dumb beef flavor. And when cooked 'properly', the texture is kinda gross too. So not worth the price of the ecological impact.

An open faced peanut butter sandwich is superior to a flip over or one made of two pieces of bread.
