I tried it and I got a long sliced half of Italian bread with a thin layer of mustard and melted cheese with a garlicky beef and mushroom stew spooned over it.

What are you two even trying to say‽
I use braces (also known as "curly brackets") to indicate sarcasm. If there are none present, I probably believe what I am saying; should it turn out to be inaccurate trivia, please tell me rather than trying to play along with an apparent joke I don't know I'm making.

I'm relaxing at home, spending time with my older brother, and to be honest 2020 was somewhat of an average year for me.
It's time to get my Magikarp on!

Re: Rater's Ridiculously Rambunctious Random Ranter #229
I've discovered that it works the opposite way to, people who eat a lot of spiced meat start to be unable to taste the flavour of meat. I've seen people cover meat in spices because they can't taste the actual meat.
That's not too say there's anything wrong with spiced meat, but if it's got to the point you think a well seasoned steak has no flavour...
And now I want steak.

Re: Rater's Ridiculously Rambunctious Random Ranter #229
Sorry, I didn't mean that towards you (or even towards "super tasters", whom I do believe make valid claims in general), but rather towards sommeliers' more outlandish claims, such as being able to tell a year. There absolutely is a skill and ability associated with it, but not to the extremes they claim.

Re: Rater's Ridiculously Rambunctious Random Ranter #229
You're starting with items that have a fairly subtle flavor as is, mixing them with a lot of cream and sugar (so the overall flavor profile at this point is basically dairy fat + sweet with orange food coloring), and then throwing a mix of fairly strong spices on top. It takes way more sweet potato/pumpkin than are used in most recipes for those to become really notable parts of the end flavor (and you get a much denser/less custard-y pie, too.)
..unless, apparently, you're Rater and are on your way to becoming a harvest vegetable pie snob

Re: Rater's Ridiculously Rambunctious Random Ranter #229
Observation: There is a frightening correlation between the kind of person who refuses to let a child leave the table until they've eaten a large serving of vegetables and the kind of person who has no idea how to cook vegetables.
Take peas, broccoli, or Brussel sprouts. Nobody likes the traditional "boil them until they're soggy, mushy, and slightly grey" preparation which, in the case of peas makes them almost flavorless and in the case of broccoli and sprouts makes them smell and taste like a wet fart.
It's just, some people have trained themselves, or be forced, to develop a tolerance for it and don't learn how to make them better.
But if you say, cut the sprouts up into small chunks and roast them in oil with some steak seasoning and parmesan cheese until the sprouts start to turn slightly brown and you get some seriously good eats, yo.
But the people who insist that you eat your damn vegetables never make the vegetables in a way that's anything more than "barely edible, but might make you sick."
And this is obviously the reason why there are som many people who hate vegetables.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: Rater's Ridiculously Rambunctious Random Ranter #229
I've met a lot of people who don't like vegetables but seem to think that "boiled long past the point where they're done" is the only way to cook said vegetables.
I've also met a lot of people whose parents were "clean your plate or else" types.
there is a significant overlap in those two groups.
I have also read several stories by people who proclaim similar incidents--being forced to eat overcooked, underseasoned, or otherwise improperly prepared vegetables or else not being allowed to eat anything else or being kept at the table after everyone else had eaten and left--all with comments further suggesting such a correlation.
Furthermore, there used to be a rather popular school of thought that children will eat anything if they're hungry enough, which led to a generation of parents who reacted to their children not liking food by refusing to feed them anything else until they ate the food in front of them
I admit that it's mostly based on anecdotal evidence and inferences but there does seem to be a correlation between the two categories of people...
Actually, that's not fair. Not knowing how to cook green vegetables is a common enough problem in the United States that there's probably a correlation between them and any other group of people, but you very rarely see people who know how to cook vegetables properly having to force their kids to eat them.
And, in fact, this very phenomenon--children being forced to eat improperly cooked vegetables--has been blamed for why so many people in the united states don't like things like Brussel sprouts or broccoli as adults so I'm not pulling this out of my ass or anything.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: Rater's Ridiculously Rambunctious Random Ranter #229
It might be more accurate to say that I've never heard of a good cook being the kind of person who has to force people to eat, regardless of whether they think that forcing children to eat food they don't like is a good thing or not.

Re: Rater's Ridiculously Rambunctious Random Ranter #229
I've actually read recently that the Brussel Sprouts you remember being bad are because all of the sprouts at that time where sourced from a very bitter, sour seed, and a sciencetist fixed them to make them taste better now, by finding a not bitter seed in a seed vault and cultivating Not ****ty Brussel Sprouts.
Also everyone disagreeing with Rater is wrong; the reason why people didn't like vegetables growing up is because a lot of your parents just can't cook.
