/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Hey buddy! What's the weather like in 2009 where you're obviously posting from? It's unseasonably warm here in almost2016. We hit 70° today and I live in the Northeastern US!

>>7034035
How is this a "trend"?

I have literally never seen this anywhere, ever.

>>7034035
Serving burgers and fries on a small sheet tray with a brown paper liner

>he wants a larger order of fries

holy fuck lose some weight you fat fuck

i did not know this was a trend

>>7034035
Serving a full Irish Breakfast in a frying pan. Fucking ridiculous you can hardly cut the food because of the sides of the pan. Stopped eating at that place even though the food is really good.

I've only been to one restaurant that did this and I thought it was great. Gives you a perfect serving size, too

>>7034053
You do realise people have different calorie requirements?

>>7034079
>eat an entire carton of ice cream
>"i-it's okay g-guys! some anon j-just told me I have d-different calorie requirements!"

>>7034045
>>7034062
Either you never get out anywhere or, and I don't use the term willy-nilly, you're flyover as fuck.
This has been super common on both sides of flyinto for the better part of a decade now.

>>7034099

>>7034035
This is pretty standard in England. THat or in a small metal bucket

>>7034035
>fries are served in a miniature fryer

Dude that's a basket. The fryer usually stays in the kitchen from experience.

>>7034119
>flyover
Is this like /ck/'s version of kek?

Sorry I don't usually come here but I keep seeing it.

> order salt and pepper squid in chink restaurant
> the squid pieces are so large that I have to hold each piece firmly in my chopsticks while biting it in half with my mouth and setting the other half down in my rice bowl.

I thought the whole point of chopsticks was having conveniently bitesized pieces of food

>not in a bottle for you to squirt on the side of the plate

How the fuck did these umbrella toothpick things become a thing?

Serving drinks in these weird as fuck jars. Just give us a normal glass, I don't want to feel like a hipster.

>>7034502
I've never gotten umbrellas. They probably notice how gay you look and are just trying to impress you for a bigger tip desu

>>7034070
Did you consider, you know, asking for it to be served on a plate?

>>7034181
Sure beats flat farmland for as far as the eye can see in every direction and the dining choices a McDonald's and one greasy spoon diner.

>>7034335
Bro, wut? To a flyover from a town of 5,000 Boston is big as fuck.

>>7034376
What do you do for a living? Please don't tell me sitting at an oil pump pressing buttons. That's is not physically demanding.

>>7034035
Here, in Europe, they serve us one french fry and we're lucky if we can finish the whole thing. You Americans who eat a 10 or 12 fries must weigh over 120 lbs. Fat fucks. Pig disgusting.

You degenerate young fuck

>>7034207
And here is a prime example of the scumbags of the most crime-ridden cities trying to make themselves feel better.

Slates. Especially if they serve ice cream on it. What the fuck am I supposed to do with this? I signed up for a meal, not fucking crystal maze.

>>7034035

full pleb. ketchup is easily the most shit of all condiments. kill yourself.

>>7034505

Australia.

They've started new make-your-burger meals where you choose custom ingredients on a kiosk.

The fries for the meal come in that basket as part of the "gourmet burger" experience.

Not only this, they also deliver the meal to your table. It's a pleasant change for a fast food joint.

>>7037806

Pretty sure it's one of those hot things where you're given a raw steak and a 800° paver to cook it on. The epitome of a shitty serving trend. They probably make the customer sign a waiver too. An alternative is the same but instead of a paver, they do it on a slab of salt, not sure how that wouldn't completely JUST your steak.

Have we just traded one flavor of utter faggotry for another with these stupid word filters?

At least this flavour of faggotry reinforces the core weeb demographic instead of attracting normies and actual kekhold fetishists.

>>7035300
You can only compress it so much before stuff starts falling or leaking from the sides. When you take a bite, the contents will be pushed to the back and began falling out there while you get a mouthful of bread.

Better than having hands so weak they're defeated by a burger.

>>7039311
Already replied to that point mate. The stuff comes out.

>>7034563
Yes because he made that meal and that is his photo. Exactly. My gosh you are so god damned smart. I am so impressed.

>>7039323
Only if you have hands so puny you can't press the whole burger at once, thalidomeister.

>>7038289
He really let himself go.

>>7039364
yes because inward pressure on something does not make it expand. If you push the bottom bun and the top bun both inward towards the patty, the only fucking thing that can happen is it expands as it narrows in height. How are you seriously so fucking stupid? You can not compress the height of the burger without it expanding to the sides. It is physically impossible and there is literally no fucking argument to this what so ever. None. At all.

>>7039397
You're right, I forgot that burgers contain no air and are entirely composed of degenerate matter.

>>7039397
With a more sensibly stacked burger, you could possibly compress it using the air inside the burger and between the ingredients. With the burger pictured, there is no way you could compress it to a size which fits comfortably into a normal person's mouth without stuff falling out. That guy must be a lard as who's used to stuffing his face with huge mouthfuls because it's the only way to consume such large quantities of food in a reasonable amount of time.

>>7039422
Are you kidding? There's like an inch worth of stuff here if that >>7034676.

How tiny is your mouth?

>>7039431
The burger is as tall as the fries and drink. It cannot be compressed down to an inch without the stuff near the edges falling out.

>>7039456
Yeah, it's clear that are absolutely no gaps in that thing. That bread is impossible to compress too.

>>7039458
My mouth can comfortably fit about two inches, sacrificing width. I'm sure the burger can be squashed while kept intact, but not to a degree at which it would comfortably fit in your mouth.

>>7039470
I suppose unless some forensic burger expert comes along we'll have to agree to disagree. I'd bet good money you could squash that thing, intact, down to comfortably less that two inches.

>>7034207

Nobody lives in California because they are trying to escape the crippling living expenses here. Democratically controlled states are extremely harsh on the poor. I should know, I'm in California and I can barely survive the taxes and expenses are so high.

>>7039558

Same case as this dude. I live in California and I spend 70% of my income on a tiny fucking studio and I work 50 hours a week. I don't even live somewhere like San Francisco where the rent is even more retarded. If I wasn't born here I'd never live here.

>I had a goat cheese quesadilla once
You mean like chevre? Why the hell would you make a quesadilla with cheese that doesn't melt?

Wait, baka desu senpai

>>7034143
Very good indeed

>>7039712
Yeah it's p good. Vinegar is part of what gives ketchup its flavor, and what makes it pair so well with fries.

If I'm given a sub-Heinz ketchup if I can I'll add vinegar to it to improve the flavor.

>>7040203
Thanks, I'll try it the next time I can!

>>7034035
I don't really have an issue with that because every place that I know that does that offers unlimited free refills of the fries.

>>7035927
whilst the energy provided by larger servings can be beneficial the form the energy is in (transfats - fryer oil) is most definitely not. So eat oven baked hand cut sweet potato chips broheim, your aorta will thank me.

>>7039712
>>7040206
Just make sure you're getting malted vinegar. That's the kind that goes on fish & chips.
Don't go dipping it into white vinegar and expecting any flavor other than disgusting vinegar taste.

I read this and my first thought was "human garbage". OP is human garbage.

>>7040255
Is this the vinegar that they serve in restaurant?

>>7040262
Generally, yes.

Fresh off the boat, from reddit, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on 4chan by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking reddit friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't upboat. You don't downboat. This ain't reddit, kid. This is 4chan. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here.
