is that a threat?

i don't

>>14269099
Didn't know they put this much chunks into balloon. Anyway it's good for people with anorexia

>>14269099
I don’t.

>>14269099
I saw a documentary about it, hard to have any idea what to think until I try it (which will probably be never)

Navel gazing fart sniffers who forgot what good food is about

>>14269099
Since we're not actually talking about food. What do you think about Leonard Part 6?

>>14269141
the key was the balloons were inside of you all along
raising the rate of inflection to post conflationary rates
a thermoscopil invranium is often better for molecular synthonomy

What's the point of all this smoke?

>>14269179
Because you can't see the smell
It's a sensory subtitle

>>14269179
it's not smoke, they probably just tossed a bunch of solid CO2 in to make it look cool.

I like anything my Alice makes me

>>14269099
I think these people don't understand chemistry very well, so they can't utilize food chemistry in interesting ways.

>>14269099
it's its own thing and i think it's cool that people can explore and experiment even if the shit comes off as really bizarre and pretentious sometimes. i like trying new stuff, though, so molecular gastronomy gives me a chance to experience food in ways that i haven't gotten to before.

>>14269567
>alice
Throwing 20 different pre-made spice blends on a chicken breast and overcooking it in a frying pan is about as far away from molecular gastronomy as you can possibly get.

I assume it looks cool but tastes completely mediocre or even below average than a decent homecooked meal

>>14269099

>>14269099
I have mixed feelings. Through extracting or synthesizing flavorful particles, you can theoretically make anything taste exactly how you want it to taste. This, is amazing and has great potential. However, people usually just use it to make dumb looking shit that doesn't ever even taste good.

>>14269099
I don't understand, is it basically making art pieces out of food?

Neat ideas, horribly pretensions in all other aspects.

>>14270492
>synthesizing

Umm sweatie...

>>14270584
lol I don't even know what you think is wrong about that, since you decided to respond like a retard. But, obviously you've never taken organic chem, since it's really common to synthesize basic artificial flavorings/scents in those classes, since some are really easy.

>>14269191
Imagine the smell.

>>14269179
imagine the smell conceptualized for "foodies" barf

>>14269099
I often think of paying $500 a plate for deconstructed cottage cheese by a fru fru hollywood chef.

>>14270588
>putting anything a student made even close to your mouth
enjoy cancer

It's a scam

>>14269567
Impeccable taste anon

>>14269567
>implying she isn't exclusively for big Scandi cock

Extremely gay

I think it's a dumb meme. Chefs have been using scientific principles forever, molecular gastronomy is a bunch of nerds who want to play with toys

>>14273011
Not that theres anything wrong with that, just you dont have any business trying to sell the shit you make to people

>>14269099
>put 200g of wagyu meatballs in agar agar and steam in snail broth
>centrifuge calf's blood and cook at low temp with micro vegetables in oven for 12 days
>finish the meatballs in the blood sauce
>put glass bell over pot and smoke with ebony wood
>cook colossal squid ink pasta just shy of al-dente
>finish pasta in sauce
>dollop of creme fraiche
>plate and grate 100g of truffles and on top, touch of cocoa oil
>micro greens and scoop of savory cumin ice cream
>serve

>>14269567
Not mito.
Shame.

>>14273011
>>14273019
Even if other people thonk it's cool too and want to pay to check it out? Your opinion sucks.

>>14269099
Molecular sloppa shit.

>>14269604
Kinda this. Not really chefs, not really chemists.

>>14269099
It's awesome that chefs are wanting to make the best dish possible for each customer but they can go straight to fucking hell charging over $40 for a bit sized portion like pic

>>14269099
i made a molecular sushi with shrimp jelly, rice "air" and soy sauce caviar

>>14269099
its some of the best parts of cooking combined with the worst
the creativity and innovation is some of the best, not traditional but at the end of the day if it tastes good thats ALL that matters
but the pricing is the worst example of the cancerous high end restaurant pricing for minuscule portions

molecular gastronomy is the conceptual art of cooking

>>14274950
Generally speaking, "tradition" is just what people figured out empirically. And if you look at traditional methods you'll quickly realize that most of them are all rooted in sound chemical principles. This is trying to do something new, but ultimately it fails, because it's just presentation. There's no artistry here.
Sure, suspending sauces in tapioca is a nice gimmick, but there's a reason why we don't really do this. Sure, gelling your steak puree is funny for a meme, but the firm texture matters.

It fails to do something that is both interesting and superior to just making the dish properly.

>>14275052
That's why you sell it as a "deconstruction"

>>14269099
>If more than half your menu is in quotes, you are running a metaphor, not a restaurant.

>>14269099
Because I'm so bored with virtually all food, yet can't afford to spend $600 per plate like my rich cousin does, I sometimes wish I were him. But then I remember what this food consists of. It is made by other people who are similarly bored with most food, and so they elect to play with their food instead. Nothing really all that "new" ever comes out of it. It just tells me that I should accept there is nothing new under the sun, and learn to live with being this restless.

>>14269099
molecular whatautonmous now?

>>14269631
Upscale gastronomy is 90% about presentation. Food "tastes" better because it looks like it tastes better.

>>14269099
Literally all gastronomy evolves atoms you stupid pretentious faggot

>>14275271
achewood is infallible

>>14269169
The rape scenes are top notch.

>>14269099
peaked when those diy gummy sushi kits hit the US.

>>14269169
what the fuck
i feel vague vague vague nostalgia for this
did we shift timelines again
am i in the shazam place again

>>14269099
I don't think about it at all

it's not for everyone

>>14269099
I often think of eating deconstructed cat food.

>>14269099
Hipster words just for normal food science

>>14275268
yeah, but if you wanted to "deconstruct" a steak you wouldn't make steak jelly, you'd separate out all of the constituents and serve them separately in an interesting way. Putting your steak in a blender with some lecithin isn't exactly innovative or good.

>>14277600
what's so special about this, it's just stock deserts served on a tablecloth and they poured liquid nitrogen on a few of them.

>>14277758
every ingredient has their structures carefully manipulated by cooking/serving, plus the chefs are all highly qualified from some fancy school which helps inflating the prices

>>14277780
>ingredient has their structures
let's go over the dishes then, I'm sure they're all good, but none of them are things my grandmother can't make:
>chocolate and peanut powder
>wine-poached blueberries
>chocolate sauce
>white chocolate sauce
>blueberry sauce
>seared custard
>3 variations of chocolate mousse, but frozen

I'm not impressed. I guess you're paying them to plate it on the tablecloth.

Admittedly, the frozen, shattered chocolate mousse is a pretty cool trick, I might do that sometime.

These kind of foods were made for social media, not consumption. Some places don't expect the food to be eaten, they just want retards to take pictures of a torn up lobster with jewels to put on instagram because it's free advertisment for them.

>>14269156
Agreed, all creativity must be stamped out.

>>14277832
There's nothing creative about faggots doing CBAs on everything to appeal to other faggots.

>>14270654
underrated

>>14269099
unnecessary shit

>>14269099
A meme that died in the oughties

would lab grown meat be considered molecular gastronomy?

Ill show you my molecular gastrony (dick 7.1 long)

>>14279586
What will be the next food meme? Any predictions?
